Default Re: Changing the throw away culture, BBC News

What can I say?

Axexa, siri etc... They are NOT my plastic pals, and they are NOT fun to be with. Douglas Adams' view of Sirius Cybernetics was prescient, as he seemed to fear.

Colin Furze would attack one of those irritants with a ramjet not a hammer. I'd applaud.

Modern jeans are a laugh. Just fall apart, but the holes are fashionable! The holes are cold! outdoor work for me means an old pair of jods and a pair of neoprene muck boots (some modern things ARE good). Not exactly fashionable but warm comfortable and rugged.

I'm not in favour of things just because they are vintage or because they are modern. Era doesn't matter, I just want GOOD.
