    @NTA way to answer none of the questions but blast out a rhetoric of nothing.

    Let me be clearer.

    1. Supermarket return bins for their plastic are a waste of fucking time. They are a virtual signal feel good factor.

    2. Talk of shrink wrapping cucumbers (your point, not mine) as being better as it saves on resource use for transporting spoiled veges to farms is at very very best, laughable.

    Your big on renewables, I’m big on plastic waste.

    I’m not asking you to do any research, I’ve done loads myself and have asked the questions.

    Hence I’m grumpy about it. And not afraid to call bullshit on it.

    I said don't start me on apostrophes ...

    One thing that I find makes me grumpier is the avalanche of stupid songs. Dance Monkey - WTF? Anything with autotune. Practically everything on high rotate on commercial radio - I know I'm hardly their target demographic but use some imagination you lazy pricks.

    So you'd be aware that Supermarkets get paid to deliver soft plastics and other materials for recycling?

    And that many large Supermarkets are establishing programs for "360 degree economy" in order to figure out how they can get to net positive status on waste, energy, and sustainability?

    All that said, I'm not sure why you're so grumpy about it. 🙂

    Up until recently when China and now Indonesia and Philippines have pulled pin on dumping ground for mixed waste. Now there is no value in it

    @Hooroo Rather hypocritical of them considering they are essentially dumping some shite manufacturing on us and we are simply sending it back to them when it breaks.

    Hence the 360 degree programs - opportunities to create industry in other countries including domestic processing.

    The waste market, like the stock market, ebbs and flows depending on regional conditions. We get an update about once a month on what the carboard market is doing, for example.

    Food waste was the one that struck me the most - $20B in Australia alone every year. I hate food waste, as my parents drilled into me from an early age to clean the plate 🤔 not the primary reason I'm a fat bastard, but anyway... Its a big issue.

    Everyone does that wants it as there is an index. NCC, OCC. It's now cheaper to avoid collecting OCC for export. I feel this will only be EBB for plastic until technology changes to be able to consume mass tonnages. I still don't see mixed moving offshore again any time soon.

    Back on Aging: someone mentined having to get up to pee in the middle of the night. I now try to avoid any form of caffeine after 3PM and even stop water and other fluids after dinner. But at 4AM I'm still getting a kick from the bladder?

    Think I need to exercise more. In my 30s when I got fit, I don't remember having any issues sleeping through the night.

    Running is a lot harder I've found, even with the migraine-related issues I have on aerobic exercise these days. Fucking cholesterol meds are shit. My cardiologist is no fun - wants me on aspirin and statins the rest of my life because my old man carked it of heart disease*, but won't give me Cialis!

    *Even after I mentioned he was a 2-pack a day smoker and ate his own weight in red meat regularly.

    Can't listen to the radio any more. Loud dickheads and ads. Or politicians. Its a lose-lose.

    my kids like it

    and the Spotify app on my phone keeps going to sleep after an upgrade which fucks me off. So radio it is.

    I read a top 50 songs of the 2010s list and realised I didn't know at least 3/4's of the songs and half of them seemed to rappers with weird names that include symbols in them and tattoos all over their face. I guess I know how my Dad felt when I was listening to NWA and Public Enemy.

    95% of my music listening is from my own collection. I've never listened to a top 40 commercial radio station and the only time I hear that stuff is in a shop or while on hold on the phone. 😠

    @NTA I listen to Classic Rock or Rock Workout on iHeart, are American channels, but the talking is minimal, especially during the week, some ads from time to time, but largely good...when I am at home I downvote any songs I dont like and upvote ones I do as it is supposed to learn and put more of what I like.

    Internet radio stations are way better. Lack of ads, usually no group of three twats laughing at each others jokes, and you get to choose the genre.

    I will often have either 'The Face' Radio from New York or 'Totally Wired Radio' from London streaming in the background.
