Aye. So many social costs to coal mining all around the world on top of the environmental costs. We should never forget it.

In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear
But in the wintertime we'd all get a brand new pair

Given today's work... I'm working on the codemine.
Pity we keep digging up bugs.

What the fuck do we do with them now the entire industry has closed down?

There aren't even decent chimneys in most houses to send them up to clean.

Also thanks for making you wit and obvious social concern so openly available - I have just put up the blog feed and promise to buy the wine on my next visit to South Africa!

Surely this is supposed to read "chimneys". Or am I just being hopelessly Victorian?

I can't breathe - from laughing so hard.
