Nominally cool

place for dinner.

So I’m not saying …

… that having parties behind your parents’ backing leading to mass destruction is cool mkay, but how totally laid back and not bothered is this guy? To be honest, given the uptight interviewer determined to get him to say sorry, I don’t blame him ;-).

Who said Excel was boring?

Well I would have done in the past! However then I discovered this!

Do-gooders unite!

So of course I’ve seen driving that I’ve considered bad, and heck I’m sure people have seen my car zipping through the traffic and considered me irresponsible. But come on … is there anything more desperate that a web-site to allow you to “report” the driving you’ve seen!?

Read it and weep at BetterDrivingPlease.

So what’s Basingstoke got going for it?

Well there are lots of roundabouts to drive fast around!

And it used to have two cool places to explore - the ex-IBM tower block, and Park Prewett asylum - but they’ve pretty much gone now.

Oh and it’s now a place of religious significant.

A quality fighting game

… courtesy of my buddy John! Get it here and then see whether you think Eve looks hot too ;-).

Yes please …

… for Xmas I’d like one of these too. That said given the price of petrol and the 21MPG I get out of my long term squeeze, I’d hate to think how many MPG the Airbus does!

So in my Google Mail Inbox today my eye was immediately drawn to a 419 scam letter that had made it through the spambuster. You know the drill …

I am Mr ALLAN WALLE JOHNSON from Ivory cost Abijan.I am 27 years old and presently residing in Dakar-Senegal because of the political crisis in my Country. I got your contact in strict confidence through Senegal Chamber of Commerce.

Anyhow two things sprung to my mind before I pressed the “Report Spam” button.

  1. I’m amazed that the 419ers haven’t given up yet … so clearly they’re still making enough out of foolish people to make it worth their while.
  2. I feel like reading a good 419 scambait to make me chuckle. Hence off to 419 Eater I went, and being a big Hitch Hikers fan particularly enjoyed this one. It’s a long read, but worth it for the hours of badly read audio.

Pathetic Motorways

November 3rd, 2007

The exhaust pipe on Sarah’s three and a half year old car is about to fall off (just call me Mr. Angry given how I’m feeling about that), and so instead my “stupid” car was called into duty for various Saturday morning trips. First off Sarah complained about how she hated driving it because she had to take it to ASDA to get all the party food for my mother-in-law’s birthday party tomorrow, which just about fitted in on the passenger seat and foot well. Secondly I got to take Alex swimming … the roads were dry, the weather cool enough to make the car run well but warm enough for us to have our windows down meaning others could “enjoy” the tunes we had on and we could here the roar from the engine engine and exhaust :-D.

Anyhow, father-and-son mini-roadtrips in my car are always fun, and on the way back we enjoyed bonus fun courtesy of a lame and slightly rusty Ford Escort RS2000 (the newer one, not the proper one) trying to out drag us up the M271. Duly dispatched with about half-throttle, we carried on up the M271 until it finished a mighty minute or two later. I wasn’t surprised when I found it included on pathetic motorways after somebody linked to it from 28DL today.
