Not and Hot

Not - Williams stopping Gurr in 1 minute 22 seconds. Geez I could have done better.



Hot - Irish Music.

The Pogues ....



and the Chieftains with the Corrs

Driving

Is so much more a pleasure when the road has good overtaking areas and slow people pull over.
My work day 30 minute drive to and from Cambridge is such a contrast to the road I used to take to and from Cameron Rd Tauranga out past Te Puke which has only the one long strait past the black stump and far more frustrated drivers. Today coming home in the darkening gloom I was twice able to pass more than 2 vehicles who were doing about 85ks thanks to visibility way past the next bend. Unless the other drivers knew that they would have thought I was just another psycho in a Corolla.

Compulsory viewing

Heidi Klum as the obnoxious local pizza chick. "I get that a lot. They're already in there"

And the 2009 World Pole Dance Champion Felix Cane. Try this at home !

Refreshing

1) Tony Veitch for abandoning the injunction instead of insisting he's the victim. Transparency rather than denial. Give Kiwis some credit for knowing there are always two sides to a story, and for having a sense of justice without you needing to be on TV, radio, in print or here.

2) Lady Gaga "I write about things I know about ... sex"

Conversation with 12yo SOH1 last Saturday:
"Good concert on tonight in Auckland. Lady Gaga (pronounced it Gag-a, but no reaction) and the Pussycat Dolls at Vector. Don't cha want to go?"

"Nah, She'd be shit live."

Decided now was not the time for the 'nymphos aren't all bad' speech - maybe in a few years.
Wonder if she'd consider covering "Why does love..." with Fergie :p

Handy

Wonder what the latest version of these can do. The bad guys watch CSI, but maybe don't play Rainbow 6 where a version of these have been used by gamers for at least 5 years.


Jan. 3, 2006. Troops conducting urban operations soon will have the capabilities ....to sense through 12 inches of concrete to determine if someone is inside a building
