And Then An Idea...

   I see from the ‘news’ today that Mrs Bojangles is so, like, mortified after learning of the hurty words wot’ve been uttered about her possibly influencing the decisions of her tussle haired husband.
   I sense another opportunity beckons. Remember all those years ago, all those Carry On movies? Is it time for a new block buster? Carrie On Minister...
   I believe Bojangles has announced a stonking three percent rise in the state pension. That’ll work so much better than the pitiful amount that triple-lock thingy would’ve resulted in, right? Wot? Oh.
  With everything heading in an upwards direction, I do believe I’ll contact some of my old drilling buddies and get ‘em to do a tad of free fracking in the back garden. Who knows?
   Anyhoo, if successful, I’ll install a mini home processing plant in the shed and enjoy ‘free’ gas. I wonder how long it’d be before all those that protested most vociferously and tried to get the drilling stopped, started coming round to ask if they could please see if supply pipes could be run to their homes.
   Talking of protesters, wot’s happened to those glue happy climate change folk? Have they discovered that after a busy day spent glued to the road, in the cold, they can’t afford to put the heating on when they get home to thaw out? That’d be poetic would it not?
   Further to the cunning idea of charging electrickery cars via exercise bikes, why are the big boys possibly after Peloton if everyone’s gone back to the gym? Who knows? Was it something I typed? Spooky eh?

Mac,
*Applause*, now that's what I call thinking outside the box!

In fact, your ideas are infectious - I'm thinking about getting a few exercise bikes and cobbling them up to that cavitation heater (when I get around to building it), Then I can open a gym and it'll be a win win! Subs AND free heat! What do you think? Are we entrepreneurs or what! In yer face Alan Sugar!

Ripper,
That'll work! Go for it.
With the technology, think of the generating capacity of those big gyms. Put charging points in the car park. Customers pay to pedal and passing lecky cars pay for a charge to get home. Or the gym just sells the generated lecky to the grid - minus what they need to power their gym kit.

Backyard fracking does seem the way to go.

Mr Higham,
Actually, I'd sell gas to those close-by. Aint nothing free, right?

Mac,
Don't forget to also deduct the wages of the marshals you employ, who crack the whips at the gym members to make them pedal harder.. you could save money even there, by having one marshal with a whip in each hand..

Mac said...

Ripper,
And there'd be a counter on each whip and wages would depend on the number of whip cracks recorded per shift...
