Masses of lack of warm, minimal solar stuff, multitudes of
atmospheric movement and quite a lot of white fluffy stuff at the Castle this “summer”
morn, after travelling Norf of Luton with the butler riding shotgun to ward orf
the Apaches I have finally managed to update the Honda-with a Honda, I have
gorn for the newer one (civic) with all the bells and whistles-but the best bit
is the leather seats which are heated by leccy, pictures here and there if you
are interested.
The elbow is getting worse, I had a nice early appointment
with my general medic yestermorn to try to get it sorted out but when I arrived
the electronic book in thingy refused to accept me and told me that my
appointment was up at the Aldershot Centre for Elfs so with ten minutes to go I
queued at the reception thingy for five minutes while the “staff” mumbled on
the phones to obviously more important people so I dashed to the mentioned “Elf
Centre”, arrived with a minute to spare, paid my parking ransom and managed to
speak to the “receptionist” who told me that “no, your appointment is at the
other surgery, but it doesn’t matter because the Doctor has gorn home sick, but
another appointment has been made for you at 9.45” with a medic I have never
heard of.
The second word I uttered was “orf”, so I went home and
couldn’t be bovvered to post.
For “supporting British film for a lifetime”, so have I, so where’s
mine then?
A soldier is facing a court marshal after being caught
driving a tank into a lamp post while supposedly under the influence.
The incident was captured on the dashboard camera
of a motorist who had stopped at a junction.
Footage shows a tank moving towards a crossroads
before coming to an abrupt halt.
It sets off again before hitting a nearby lamppost
with a dull thud, much to the amusement of the driver behind the camera, and
the bemusement of the traffic officer who is seen watching the pissed idiot
trying to park.
I’d like to see them clamp that.....
Plans to build a £2billion theme park to rival Disneyland
Paris have been halted – so a colony of extremely rare spiders can be re homed.
Bosses of the Paramount scheme hoped to have the resort –
which will be twice the size of the Olympic Park, creating 27,000 jobs – up and
running by 2019.
But environmentalists have found distinguished jumping
spiders on the 872-acre brown field site at Swanscombe Peninsula, Kent.
The spiders are on a UK priority species list and are only
found in one other place in the country, West Thurrock Marshes in Essex.
Unlike many other species, they like the soil, which is
particularly alkaline due to previous industrial use.
Bet they don’t like rolled up newspapers though...
The commanding
officer and three crewmembers aboard a U.S. Navy minesweeper have been relieved
of their duties amid an investigation into how the $300 million ship got stuck
on a reef near the Philippines and had to be scuttled.
The USS Guardian
became stuck on a reef in the Tubbataha National Marine Park, a World Heritage
Site in the Sulu Sea some 400 miles southeast of Manila in January.
The Navy said in a statement that the
officer and crewmembers were relieved because the ship’s grounding did not
comply with its navigation procedures and accountability standards.
Oh ha-fucking-ha...
And finally:
Bubba Watson who
won the 2012 Masters tournament, has given his backing to the latest way of
getting around the green - a cross between a buggy and a hovercraft.
The prototype
machine allows golfers to glide across grass and launch across lakes, and is
fitted with a noise reduction rotor to avoid disturbing those who prefer more
conventional modes of transport.
The hovercraft,
known as the BW1, features four seats and a roof from a typical golf buggy and
has room for two golf caddies.
The machine is a
joint project between Watson, Sportswear Company Oakley and Neoteric
Hovercraft, the company which built it.
It is not known how much the BW1 cost to build, although
Neoteric hovercraft sell for between $16,700 (£11,000) and $65,860 (£43,600)
through the company's website.
Cheap at half the price-well it would be if it was.....
That’s it: I’m orf to enter
