Wind mast to be built on moors that inspired Wuthering Heights​

from http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2012/apr/11/wind-turbines-wuthering-heights-moors

its only a fucking book. to hear the hysteria on the tv this morning anyone would think that it was important.

"Had the Brontë sisters been alive today, campaigners claim they would have been horrified by the plans to build giant wind turbines on the bleak and brooding moors that inspired their enduringly popular fiction."

fiction or friction?

I dunno if it's relevant, but it's not a very good novel. Never understood how it became a standard HS-English book.

because it isn't complicated but is only of interest to people who don't have a life while at school / college or university.

"The Martian Chronicles" was inspired by canals on the planet Mars. Do we need to go up there and dig some?

I thought I might read a book by Emily Brontë, but then I thought "why? She never reads any of mine."

We'll see if one tree will grow as crooked as another with the same wind to twist it.

It's all elemental.

Yes. Yes, we do.

Is that the book about that chick who fucks her cousin, but her other cousin wants to fuck her, and it's somehow still, with that plot, really, really boring? And something about money and her uncle after her dad died? I didn't like that book.

Hold up, wait a minute.

There's a forest, that's about to be excavated in England.
Is that right?

The place is significant because of its form on paperback.
There's a children's book about that place.

Well known book. Old school.

For the life of me I cannot remember the name of that book...

It's 3.11pm. You pomes can't sleep all day.

Smelly pomes.

I've so far managed to skip reading the book entirely, in spite of getting an A on the book report in high school. I was a very good bullshit artist in English class.

Unacceptable.

 

[gravyrug]

Unacceptable.

Getting an A, or not reading the book? I'll have you know that was an excellent essay, it just had fuck all to do with the book.

This more or less describes my bachelor's degree.

Do you have a decent excuse? No you don't.

Don't mind if I do.

After I got back the A without having read it, I decided to see if I could avoid it afterwards, just to keep my record pure.

I do like the song by Kate, though.

Massive wind farms. They are ugly. Right up there with server farms. Here they are right next to each other.
