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
