must.buy.flamethrower.
Oh, how I love travelling by train!Oh, how hard it is to quantify the joy of hearing other people's brats screaming at the top of their lungs in a packed carriage after a long day at work!
Oh, how sweet to see the gaggle of young , single mothers and their 13 children trying to borad a rush hour train with 42 bags and 3 double prams!
Oh, what rapture to board a carriage thats been sealed the whole day with the heating on!
Oh, what a wondrous bouquet the crusty vomit emits!
Oh, sweet ecstasy to watch the beady eyed little harridans barging their way through the packed aisles, feverish little faces glistening in the vain hope of seeing an open seat that the other 143 people on the carriage have somehow missed for the last 5 stations.
And to dance the dance of joy, when almost a quarter inch of train brings the entire network to a standstill, for the "Adverse Weather Conditions" which rampage across Kent are truly of biblical proportions.
Tra-la-la-lala-lalley-laaaaaa..

And it took you a year to do that?
Gordy Brown has delivered another budget amidst the usual smoke, mirrors and industrial strength spin that is so symptomatic of the current incarnation of the Labour Party.So far the best, and most accurate, summary of what the jowled one has cobbled together comes from the BBC website:
" If you are an immortal 80-year-old female millionaire science teacher, who needs childcare, drives a very small car, likes a cider chaser with a whiskey, buys her fags in the EU and wants to invest in venture capitalists and trusts, you're laughing all the way to the bank. "
Alas, people like the missus and I, and our circle of friends, are screwed once again.
Yet again, us poor fuckers who actually work for a living are having to fork out more to subsidise another wave of "Me's on benefits yeah" types who's sole aim in life is to qualify for a dinkum disability and have 12 kids. Like this lot.
Gaaaaaah!!! Makes me reach for the AK47, you know?

Dusty and rusty
I'm off to my first archery meeting this Sunday... and i'm not sure how ready I am for the potential embarassment that goes hand in hand with losing all my arrows. Fact is, I haven't drawn my bow in almost a year. It's an utterly ridiculous state of affairs, and boils down to me having become a lazy bastard.
It's like those people who join the gym in January. They make one excuse not to go oe day. Then tomorrow, it's easier and less of a guilt trip not to go again. The next time is even easier, and so on.
Anyway. I've started sifting through the arrows I've had stored away, checking if they've become warped and so on... so far so good- the 4 - 6 layers of varnish I used on them has obviously paid off :)
Here's hoping I haven't lost my 'eye' completely.

Say what you like about him, but there's no one quite like The Hoff.
Not convinced..? Behold the glory.

Devil's in the Detail
The budget for "Syriana" ran to $50 million.You'd think, with that kind of money to spend, they'd hire someone who could point out to them that the pistol Mr Clooney is being threatened with in the picture above, by the looks of things a goold old Tokarev, is what's classified as single action pistol.
That means that to make it go BANG you have to first cock the hammer back or rack the slide.
So tubby in the blue over there could have kept squeezing that trigger until his grandson was old enough to to take over the kebab shop and el fuckall (as they say in Mexico) would have happened.
Tsk.

Siek 'n sat
You know, I like winter, but now I've just about enough of this shit. And this.I want to be able to go outside and not get freeze-dried. I want to wear t-shirts without a jacket again.
I want to be able to have a damned braai again without having to wrap myself in 14 layers of fleece and sit in the fire.
Is that really too much to ask?
Global warming? Ha! Rubbish.
Hey..
Got a light?
