   It looks really hot and dry and the scientists seem to be loving the sauna-like conditions.

   can’t be bothered to read their self-congratulatory inanities…does this mean they haven’t moved yet?

   Thos Catlinites… what a bunch of iceholes!

   They look like cupholders… but too big. So bucket holders for… do these green saints pack everything out or do they enrich the ecosystem?

   Reminds me of the trick to catch a polar bear: You make a hole in the ice. You wait until the bear comes to look into the hole. Then you kick him in the ICEHOLE.

   “…I read the news today, oh boy – 4,000 holes in deepest Arcticshire
   and though the holes were rather deep
   they didn’t get the Catlin creep
   he looked down in a hole
   confirming there IS ice at the Pole

   I saw a film today, that numpty Al had just saved the world
   he said the world was rather warm
   and blamed us all for heating it
   he’s not like other guys
   somehow he won a prize
   just for telling lots of lies

   I’d love to turn him off….

   Woke up, weather’s nice, drilled a hole into the ice
   made my way downstairs and caught a fish
   somebody laughed, and I saw it was the Bish
   Got my coat, and grabbed my sled
   found my way back home and a nice warm bed
   a mug of cocoa, and fleecy jimjams
   reflected on my trip, and fell asleep
   It’s bloody cold in the Arctic, just like they said…

   And so it was a waste of time –
   and all that money thrown away,
   the arctic’s freezing all year round
   the only thing we got were chills
   now we know why Al Gore takes those pills…

   We’d love to turn him off….”

   Apologies to Lennon & McCartney

   “Widnes-born Captain Martin Hewitt, who lives in Wilmslow, is in a group hoping to become the first disabled team to walk unaided to the pole on Friday”

    Its obvious to any Canuck what those holes are for;

    its to keep the beer cold.

    Did they in fact reach the pole last year as they claim? I think not, but I stand to be corrected
