Lack of posting, Iritation and good stuff

Egads!!!!!!!!!
Firstly an apology to all five of you for such a serious lack of posting. Have been up to my eyeballs in work and pet emergencies and birthdays etc…

Oh and hopefully avoiding my birthday for a while…



As for the rant on the political side of living in this pronounced hellhole.

Thabo Mbeki has announced that there is no crises in Zimbabwe and the boatload of bloody great RPG’s and AK47’s sitting in our harbour are not destined for Zim (they are) which is not on the bad boys list of human rights violations (Ahem yes they are)
And were not in fact ordered by Robert Mugabe to assist with his ballot stuffing intimidation of the voting recount or runoff in Zim to win what has already been lost…
I haven’t posted any links to this due to the outrage meter having been broken aand the needle has broken the sound barrier in its revolutions around the gauge.
Its things like this that make me feel that political assassination definitely has its place in modern society


On to more cheerful news
Tomorrow will be looking at an engine for a 1934 Rudge Ulster to rebuild.
For those who don’t know thir classic and vintage motorcycles this was a multiple top three contender for the Isle of Mann TT and GP events back in 1934.
Have included a pic of what it will hopefully look like should I complete it

It's shopping Jim but not as we know

With apologies to Star Trek

1) On being asked to join your Fiance, her best friend and her mother for clothes shopping find a way to duck out of it

2) When this fails it acceptable to fein injury or some chronic ilness

3) When this also fails dismally try to tell them that you will be at the coffeeshop, pub, banging your head against a wall and to meet you for coffee, alcohol, surgery after their shopping

4) This too will ultimately fail... sheer unadulterated hel

We just happenned to head off to the busiest mall on the planet at month end with braying harpies, overweight males and screaming monkeys... er children

Don't get me wrong I think I must be the luckiest male alive to have the fiance I do, we have the ssame tastes in music, clothes, movies, pc games and RPG's (I kid you not!) but....

Lets put it this way. She see's an item she doesn't like. I don't like it. We both know the other hates it. Yet she will still try it on and ask me my opinion... HUH??

Maybe I'm too much of a knuckle dragging member of the male species to fully comprehend all that is a lady in full shopping mode but I would much rather have been relaxed in the pub nursing a pint of the black stuff and swearing at the paer...

*sigh* I love her too much to say no

Linky Love....

Just finished readin through MedicMarch's blog and I have to say that that gentleman is EXTREMELY amusing

Don't worry my sense of humour was tragically warped the day I learned about Monty Python and Blackadder and hasn't recovered since.... Nor will it if I have anything to say about it!

And in other news

First off I see by ye olde site meter that I have been visited by someone in Lithuania!
Well hello there, drop us a line in the comments and ease my hugely overheated curiosity

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Secondly I HAD to share this and throw some snark at it, The quote is from Reuters

"Robbery ends in black
Police in central England are hunting
for a badly scorched, would be
copper power cable thief, after
finding a hacksaw embedded in an
11 000 volt power cable on saterday night.
The thief, who also left a lit blow-torch
at the scene, is expected to be badly
charred, spiky haired and not the
brightest bulb in the socket. Searches
of local hospitals had so far not found
the culprit, a spokesperson for the
Derbyshire police said on Tueday.
Reuters"

Ahem....

Not the brightest bulb in the socket????
Hell he must have been glowing enough for arliners to see him!

Lets take a gander at this for a moment.
First off he had to decide that increasing his financial lot in life would be benifited by the acquasition of some copper wire..

No problem there

Our enterprising idiot then had to climb up to a power line which any idiot could have figured out was dangerous to start with.
He then had to take further leave of his senses, fire up the blow-torch and then decide that the big METAL hacksaw was the better option....
Darwin would be proud.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heh, the police might want to check the english channel and see if he managed to spectacularly blast himself all the way over there...

BACA in South Africa... YES PLEASE!!!!!

Over at Strings I learn that 1) I have been blogrolled (many thanks!!) and 2) That a chapter of BACA (Bikers Against Child Abuse) may be opened here

We really need that here.

Children are abused in such horrific manners that I wish it were not illegal to kill the abusers!

Children as young as 6 months old are raped (They think it cures aids)
Children are trafficked for sex slavery
Children are beaten to death
Teachers assault children in all manner of ways
Children and babies are murdered to make "traditional medicine" from their bodies
And more besides

So if anyone knows about BACA out here please let me know and will be honoured to ride with you
*sigh*
