Being that Ive never touched one before, updating it was… Continue reading

Wackos with wheels
Theres an ad on the tv selling 'organic' water, the caveman invents the first poledancing device (i know where i could learn to poledance too) rather than the wheel.

Airport stories
Just dropped somebody off at the airport. – I was told it is ‘not advisable’ to run over traffic wardens – you just can’t have any fun in a car these days. You’ve got to be a real jobsworth if your ticketing cars at 7am on a Sunday morning. I mean its not that busy.… Continue reading

Driving and evolution
I was at turning of a motorway junction (translation for americans freeway exit) with traffic lights at the end of it. All of a sudden boy racer type cuts me up in the slowest lane you can be in – I’m turning left and he is turning right. Well as it was a modern car… Continue reading
