Green Cars
http://www.greencarsite.co.uk/GREENNEWS/Liberty-Electric-Range-Rover.htm I would buy that electric car in a second, as it's an electric version of my favourite car of all time,I'm not anti finding an alternative to fossil fuel powered cars I ust think they need to be a credible alternative which offer decent range and performance.

Green Cars
I don't like the looks of the Prius, I don't like it's silly and false media image of being a wonderful planet saving car.I'm all for cleaner,safer cars but if this comes at the price of what the car is about then I would rather not, I don't specifically like SUVS, I'm just fond of one in particular, I find normal everyday cars rather boring for the most part and like ones that are a bit individual, for a small car I would probably go for something like a Diesel Peugeot 207 or VW Polo they both have economy that is superior to a Prius,look better and are less damaging to make-I know you guys don't really like diesel though. Recycling just makes sense anyway, what's the point in using more energy and resources than we need to.

Stickers target speeding drivers
Why is the UK so obsessed with speeding, it's not resopnsible for many accidents, speeding in a built up area is stupid though, it's common sense not to but speed cameras on motorways etc are pathetic.

I personally dislike the Prius and am not too keen on the current crop of Hybrids,I don't know exactly where I stand on Climate Change, I certainly don't believe humans are as responsible as some make out but I do accept we have had some effect on nature, I also think recycling is just common sense and that cutting down Rainforests is a bad thing-if not for the enviroment then for the animals who live in them, I also know oil is going to run out one day and if we don't find an alternitive then the world is going to be a very bad place to live.I do still believe in freedom of choice and if someone wants to buy a big car that does 10 miles per gallon then that's their choice, I don't like hybrid cars because they don't offer a true alternative and I think it's important that companies find a viable one, which personally I feel hydrogen would be a good contender. I like SUVs(not American ones) because their comfortable, big,look good and can go practically anywhere and deal with terrain that most cars couldn't, what if another car was stuck and you needed to pull it out, or you needed to drive up a steep hill or through mud etc, plus with all the speed humps and bad drivers they make alot more sense too.

I don't really see the Prius as a breakthrough vechicle as it's still dependant on fossil fuels, I saw on Top Gear recently that Honda have a car that has an electric motor that is powered by Hydrogen and can be filled up at Hydrogen filling stations, the guy drove it and it was a normal car which you fill up in the same way as a petrol or diesel powered car but with a renewable energy source, this seems much more relevant to me than the fashion statement Prius which was proved to be rather unfriendly to the enviroment when you take its manufacturing process into the picture I believe? and is still dependant on fossil fuels,wow all this coming from a girl who loves SUVs, I had better check I don't have a fever:P.

I don't know why but I always seem to like cars in either Black or White and nothing else for some reason.

Jung Personality Type Test
Idealist Portrait of the Champion (ENFP) Like the other Idealists, Champions are rather rare, say two or three percent of the population, but even more than the others they consider intense emotional experiences as being vital to a full life. Champions have a wide range and variety of emotions, and a great passion for novelty. They see life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil, and they want to experience all the meaningful events and fascinating people in the world. The most outgoing of the Idealists, Champions often can't wait to tell others of their extraordinary experiences. Champions can be tireless in talking with others, like fountains that bubble and splash, spilling over their own words to get it all out. And usually this is not simple storytelling; Champions often speak (or write) in the hope of revealing some truth about human experience, or of motivating others with their powerful convictions. Their strong drive to speak out on issues and events, along with their boundless enthusiasm and natural talent with language, makes them the most vivacious and inspiring of all the types. Fiercely individualistic, Champions strive toward a kind of personal authenticity, and this intention always to be themselves is usually quite attractive to others. At the same time, Champions have outstanding intuitive powers and can tell what is going on inside of others, reading hidden emotions and giving special significance to words or actions. In fact, Champions are constantly scanning the social environment, and no intriguing character or silent motive is likely to escape their attention. Far more than the other Idealists, Champions are keen and probing observers of the people around them, and are capable of intense concentration on another individual. Their attention is rarely passive or casual. On the contrary, Champions tend to be extra sensitive and alert, always ready for emergencies, always on the lookout for what's possible. Champions are good with people and usually have a wide range of personal relationships. They are warm and full of energy with their friends. They are likable and at ease with colleagues, and handle their employees or students with great skill. They are good in public and on the telephone, and are so spontaneous and dramatic that others love to be in their company. Champions are positive, exuberant people, and often their confidence in the goodness of life and of human nature makes good things happen. Joan Baez, Phil Donahue, Paul Robeson, Bill Moyer, Elizibeth Cady Stanton, Joeseph Campbell, Edith Wharton, Sargent Shriver, Charles Dickens, and Upton Sinclair are examples of Idealist Champions

Hi There
Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to be mean, I'm absolutly passionate about music and many musicians(although actually not Coldplay) I just think getting a band/artist related tattoo is a bit strange although as you say VIVA isn't instantly associated with Coldplay.
-
Hi There
Exactly, and just to me it seems a bit obsessive too.
-
Hi There
If you want a tattoo great, but one of your favourite band?, come on that is a little sad, think of something different and cool looking not 'Coldplay are great' etc

2009 albums worth hearing
In my opinion it's his best work ever-with RHCP or solo, and as you know me well and how passionate I am about his music that's a pretty strong statement to make:).

Congestion charge to get the green light in Manchester!!
How is it a good thing?, public transport is shit,overstretched and underfunded, if everyone did actually do what this moronic government tried to tell people to do and ditch thier cars for public transport it would bring the country to it's knees. Thankfully the people of Manchester voted no.

'Sell sterling, take cash out of Britain'
I much prefer driving in the US to the UK, I've not driven in Europe yet but I'm sure I will feel the same, I think all countries should drive on the same side of the road, the UK driving on the left is just awkward and annoying.On currency I personally feel I would rather we had the Euro, I'm not proud of the Britian or the Pound though. We mostly have the metric system but some things we don't, for instance we still use MPH, and if someone says how tall are you, I know in Feet and Inches not cm, but for most other things I would use metric.

'Sell sterling, take cash out of Britain'
Britian should join the Euro and start driving on the normal side of the road.

I think Sweeden looks beautiful, it's definatly somewhere I will go to in the future.

How you see the world :-)
Sweeden always makes me think of sensible politics, the way thier outlook is on life.It makes me think of (sorry) boring cars and of lakes and forests and snow and people with really blonde hair.

How you see the world :-)
Belgium makes me think of World War 1 and the trenches and the horrible conditions and terrible loss of life on both sides.It makes me think of the EU and it's mindless burocracy.I've been there though and I really liked the people they seemed very friendly but very reserved, it also seemed a really quiet place which was nice:). Australlia makes me think of snakes :D, desert and lots of open space,great modern cities,surfing and the beach.
