The ultimate Lambo garage

Got too many Lambo's?

here's one solution...

Ok you can tell i've got Paintshop Pro

i'm practising ok?

here's an early early effort - i'd like to get a better blend from her face to black though.

HELP! i was attacked by the ghost of Obama!


ok seriously - this election is goin crazy. you cannot make this shit up. really. you cant.

a woman in Pittsburgh out looking for a free ATM machine was apparently attacked by a black man who weighed around 200lbs *around 14st* - she says she was punched at the back of the head because of her McCain bumper sticker. she was robbed of $60 after he put a knife to her neck, after which she stepped away. she then got attacked her to teach her a lesson for being a McCain supporter.

He then sat on her chest and with a very blunt knife carved a backwards letter B on her cheek.

LMAO!!!

yes yes mani is the nasty man - laughin at puny woman who got mugged and attacked.

but this gets better.

police apparently doubted her story from the start and she eventually 'fessed up to making the whole thing up

but this gets better

she now says she actually doesnt know how she came to be beaten up and looking like that!!

Todd confessed to police that she was driving alone, looked in the mirror, saw her black eye and the "B" on her face, and didn't know how they got there.
now here's my analysis. why the heck would a would be mugger use of all things - a blunt knife?! was he going to butter her up too!?

surely it would've made more sense to etch the letter O - lookin in the mirror and doin that isnt that hard!!

Is it subliminal racism or personal selection?

So i'm working at the club and i see 3 asian guys laughing away and pointing at another guy - a white bloke who was busy getting it on with a girl.
turns out he's their mate and they're just laughing cause they're guys and they're trying to distract him from the job at hand

so i'm standin there and i get talkin to one of them - they're all students from the local uni and there's 4 of them here. the other two come over and they start having a laugh and joke and then one of them comments on how its always him - the guy who's got the girl that pulls.

it got me thinking - how come its the white guy that always pulls?

but then would it would be the same if it was 3 white guys with an asian guy at an asian night?

so in a way is everyone racist on some level?

or is it just a case of personal choice?

Hurrah for Swindon Council!!

Ok its time to rejoice!

the tide is beginning to turn

Gandalf has returned at the right time and its time to begin the backlash

whats this big epic battle i'm ready to join in?

the reduction and eventual removal of speed camera's. they're totally useless - a stealth tax on the motorist.

lets be honest - we all do it - as soon as we see that yellow box we slow down to 30/40/50 watch the lines go by and then speed up again. it doesnt make anyone slow down long term.

now with all the snoopers etc its quite hard to get caught if your wary about such things

but last night swindon council voted to stop all funding for the police camera's instead deciding to fund other safety measures that can be bought.

Apparently deaths have been rising in swindon and the council has decided rather than spend the money on funding speed camera's in the locality to the tune of £320,000 per year

"The Department for Transport annual results - published on the 25th of September - show that, nationally, only 6% of accidents are caused by people breaking speed limits and yet almost 100% of the government's road safety money is being invested in speed cameras,"

thats an alarming statistic that the govt arent tackling the problem where it is. its not speed that kills - its careless drivers. someone doing 30 whilst driving without attention is much more dangerous than someone driving 80 at 4am on a quiet motorway.

though the chances of getting caught speeding have gone down in swindon they're still there. the council may give more permission to use mobile speed camera's operated by the police.

younger drivers should be tested more often. just by passing one test should not be enough. i can vouch for that! i had a driving incident about 4 times in the first two three years and since then only one accident which was due to me not paying attention to the road but instead trying to find a wholesaler i was going to.

here's one final statistic for you. speed camera's roughly raise £114m in fines. safety prevention measures are coming in at £120m

so in theory the govt are only investing £6m of their own cash to increase safety on the roads

Looking after kids is damned hard!


run after them here and there

i'm gonna be lookin after my two lil demons nearly full time all alone for the next few days

its not that i'm not there usually or anything but its alot simpler when the wife is there and you sorta play to each other's strengths

you gotta remember so much more than what you usually do. feed times, nappy times, sleep times, wake up times, milk times, play times

its like wtf?!
but its all good i just need some more sleep i think...

Is the grass really greener?

we've all been in that position - go for a change or stay where we are.

is that job better than my current one?

is that car better than my current one?

and even is that babe better than my current one?

but then its a case of better the devil you know than the devil you don't.

but oh it looks tempting to cross that bridge and find out. even if it means sometimes you have burn the bridge as you cross it. recently i left one company to join another that i'd heard alot about and it all starts very well - your happy and thinking yeah i made a good move but then it slowly starts to turn sour very quickly and you think man wtf was i thinking?! you cant even go back to the old one as they know you switched so your on the bottom of the ladder again. it worked out ok for me as i went to a 3rd company who i knew were good employers.

but thats just career. the temptation for other thangs is alot and you cant help but wonder how would it be if i had that instead of this.

change is inevitable as are losses. as a hero of mine says it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.


I'm Imran Ali and i approve this message!

HAHAHA

forward to 45 seconds and enjoy!

first of all here's the said links

http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips/gov-palin-cold-open/773761/

http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips/update-palin-rap/773781/

it was an ok performance the joke could've been better and it was abit of a missed opportunity

i've heard there was only two skits they used her for - which is a shame cause a good show would've done alot for palin definatly and maybe mccain too.

she does come across a wee bit stuck up?

the second clip is good though - i rated that one - amy is amazing considering she's 9/10 months pregnant!!

but overall compare her in jokes to mccains performance

http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips/mccain-in-one/252575/

alot more screen time and alot more joke time - i think this was before he won the nomination for the republican party

if they and by they i mean the PR people at the repub HQ if they had given more of a free reign to the boys at snl i'm sure it would've been much more funnier and would've done her the world of good.

ok since i'm posting this from london not the usual exotic location of my basement and i'm not on my mean lean super duper wooper pc i'll have to bid thee adieu

though typing this on the laptop is makin me want one

now what can i sell to raise funds for the laptop?? anyone want a 8 month pregnant wife? no refunds given though....

Live from NY, it's the real Sarah Palin on 'SNL'


Coming soon - links to Sarah Palin's Saturday Night Live appearence which from the sounds of it is a ball dropped. doesnt seem to be all that

but i'll try to get on NBC or my contacts will and get me links :D

PS Tina Fey is fit.

ok ok so i'm not the young racer i was...


but I'm liking the new Toyota Avensis coming out in Jan 09

i was at a dealership today and it was amazing how much crap the dealer guys talk. we were sitting in an avensis verso and he was blabbering on some reason why they only made a limited number etc....

anyway he mentioned the new mark Avensis coming out - i've had each of the avensis's from the first to the latest and i'm liking this one too

but sad news for us brits who love the hatchbacks - they're not going to be making one :( we'll have to do with the tourer

its very lexus IS like, lets hope under the hood and inside the motor its the same!

The new model will also contain new safety technology, such as Steering-assist Vehicle Control (VSC+), Adaptive Front Light System (AFS), and Pre-Crash Safety System (PCS). A whole alphabet soup of acronyms to confuse buyers, then…
