Baubles on BandCamp

Finally! Baubles, one of the original Gbloink! albums, is now available for download on BandCamp. The perfect ambiance for sitting in your arm-chair by the flickering fire on a snowy evening, contemplating a fir-tree decked with shiny coloured glass balls.

Tory Polluters Win Energy Bill

BBC News - Government delays setting carbon target until after election

How does one read this?

Tories

c) I bet that that alt.energy includes nuclear, hence the Tories plan to funnel money to their friends in nuclear industry

Crap.

Kawai!
