Green Tangents

Green Tangents

 

   How would you defend against a nuclear strike?

   We would plant more trees ..

   So how would you prevent more cyber-attacks?

   We would be sure to plant more trees ..

Okay so what about natural disasters, like famine,

earthquakes, floods or maybe

another pandemic, world war three, or for example

   invasion from another galaxy?

   Rest assured my friend, we would plant more trees ..

    There is a Green Drinks group that I know. Sounds a ghastly name for a group - what are they drinking that is green? But it means they are discussing 'green' matters, being eco-warriors, etc.

      When did you last try to parry an incoming nuclear warhead with sycamore sapling eh' πŸŽ„πŸŒ³πŸŒ²πŸ’š

      A cure all Band-Aid or was it Kool Aid… nah, not climbing that tree today, mate! But you are oh so right! πŸ‘πŸ»

        I have always found it best to keep both feet on the ground too, at least it's safer that way .. but thanks for the thumbs up πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

          I quite like the old fella & would be more than happy for him to share my already made bunker if the need ever arises .. 🐧

            Speaking of trees...it seems to me that the seasonal conflagrations which occur alternately north and south have already pushed us past the tipping point, Neville. That and all the other deleterious possibilities you so kindly point out means, from where I stand (or lie) we are really in the shit.

              I think along similar lines .. indeed, I fear that we are a bit like the proverbial christmas turkey .. well n truly plucked πŸ§πŸ£πŸ‘

                Judicious application of the letter 'F' can clarify one's prose occasionally, but I do take your drift...

                Hello Neville, as much as I love trees and wished we all planted more instead of concreting, as they do so much good for the environment, they aren’t going to help if we suffer an nuclear attack are they πŸ™‚. The green agenda seems to be going full war head at the expense of other stuff. We need our defense system firmly in place, as a deterrent. How’s that bunker of yours coming along? Have a great day and don’t work too hard.

                  Its good to know we are both singing from the same hymn sheet our Cassie .. but then, I was counting on you .. Bunkers just about sorted & I saved a bunk just for you my very dear lady .. πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

                    Could you dig a bit more and make room for all of us πŸ˜€, We’ll bring vino, plenty of it.

                    An apocalyptic scenario from which there is no surviving. No one left to plant trees. Power-hungry "A___holes," who wish to rule the world, threatening us as a means of causing fear. I say let's call their bluff. There are but 10-20 of these people and billions of us. We take them out one or more at a time and then abolish all of their toys. Then we can live in peace. - Phil A.

                      Jeez you are so bloomin good Phil, where can I sign up .. Neville

                      😁😜 sir I am not sure which portion of the anatomy was the intended point for landing the kick, but I can assure you that your kick knocked that portion off and then some more..love it!

                      • Neville



                        I know I really shouldn't laugh, but I just don't possess enough restrain to resist .. please accept both my sincere gratitude and apologies .. Neville

                        If there is another world war it is possible that the only things left would be the trees Neville.

                        • Neville



                          I'm not sure I would entirely agree Andy, but if you can convince me otherwise, I would be happy to trade my bunker in for a new model tree house ..
