British justice and american bears

16:31 Feb 28 2007
Times Read: 823


I was watching two documentaries last night:



1. Woman is being divorced. She forces open her husband's desk and takes keys to his gun cabinet. She opens cabinet and takes out shotgun, relock cabinet and puts keys back. She smashes open ammunition drawer in an outbuilding and loads gun. She puts gun in boot (trunk) of car and drives kids to school, she then drives into town and parks up. She takes gun out of car and walks into hairdressers which her husband's mistress owns. She asks some workmen where the mistress is and goes downstairs to find her. She points gun at mistress and says *I am going to kill you* She shoots mistress from point blank range. She sits down and smokes a cigarette. She sends two text messages - both along the lines of *I shot her, look after my kids* - she then shoots the mistress' body a second time



At the trial her lawyers argue NOT GUILTY !! All that musta been an accident then ....



2. American man goes hunting wild boar armed with ... a bow ... the search party found his arm



Hmmmmmmm the world gone crazy

Mystery

hmmmmm and double hmmmmm



a whelp writes to me after reading my unfinished 'project' on the Priest Upir - mistaking it completely for something trying to trace where the word 'vampire' came from ... well it isn't, its just looking if that one priest's name could have anything to do with old vampire myth



anyhow, she tries and get me to include a paragraph on her thoughts in my work. So I tell her (nicely) to go write her own piece.



Next I see a database suggestion for 'prolander script' from the same girl, trying to get us to publish some support for her pet theory. Anyhow I can't find it anywhere else, I even go looking through our school library for the magazine she's says its in. I write back to tell her that I need some more information before I list it but .... she's no longer registered.



Some people take this stuff far too serious

Car Bonnet (Hood ~ USA)

Times Read: 842


Most of you know I wash cars on Saturday morning.



Today we had a lotus in.



This guy had had a small stone shatter his windscreen - easy enough I guess, you call the glass people and they replace the screen .... or



you stop and push your broken windscreen out onto the bonnet and then get frustrated and brush the whole lot off, making a sort of scraped battlefield of your bonnet.



I am now the master of all things T cut LOL

Half term

13:48 Feb 23 2007
Times Read: 853


I don't know what Americans call it, but today is the last weekday of my half-term holiday week. The weather has been 'British' - sunshine, showers, rain, thunder ....



I'm so far ahead in my GCSE coursework its stupid. I'm taking them a full year early but they simply are not difficult - the problem is there is no real way for an employer to tell who is going to be the best person for the job. Someone who puts in all that extra work is going to get no better grade than someone who just does enough.



Had an interesting morning today - the guy who owned the big pond knows my Dad somehow. He called me over cos his filter threw up all over his lawn. I called my boss and he said I could just go over, customer wasn't on contract. I dug half a Koi carp out of his pump and everything was fine - £40 FORTY POUNDS !! for about 20 mins work - excellent *rubs hand in shopping mode*

What if ....

17:56 Feb 17 2007
Times Read: 858


I am sat here preparing for the next debate. Its going to be about National Emergencies, comparing USA to UK - trouble is, we know the theme but not the actual question and whether we are arguing for or against - still its always worth doing background research in case, on the day, someone throws you a real wild card.



Anyhow I was a little shocked to learn that the USA look to the UK for guidance on Terrorist Preparations. It seems that the UK have been handling bombs and terrorism for decades; most public buildings have to keep special bomb blast kits and businesses have to have plans to continue in business whatever is happening. School children have been taught to report suspect packages and secretaries taught to spot letter bombs etc for years too. When those bombs went off in London, the streets were cleared in minutes to allow the emergency vehicles through - all of this done in a major city, in a rush hour and with some routes blocked.



Luckily I didn't stop looking ...



Yeah its true that the USA is kinda new to terrorism, but I then looked onto disaster planning - then the UK falls firmly behind ...



They have white-outs, black-outs, tornado, hurricane, earthquake, school seiges and even snake bite - luckily we don't have much of those



Its a vast subject ... how am I supposed to plan for this?

So the weather people issued severe weather warnings : snow



We checked we had a good gas bottle for the stove, filled the water barrel up in case the underground pipe froze (again) and basically got ready for the normal seige we have living here



Snow requires its own emergency supplies: I dug out my sled and shovel for snowman



Woke up this morning, expecting to call the school and have the auto-message "We're closed - enjoy"



Instead it was sunny and dry, freezing cold but otherwise OK



Tsk and double tsk

LOL



Well the debating club was fun, we won (of course) and I didn't have to use our secret weapon - we were supporting "This house believes that the effectiveness of glass recycling is outweighed by the damage that the recycling process has on the environment". Mr Harris, the teacher who was driving the minibus, was so pleased we stopped at McDonald's and he bought us all thick shakes. This did nothing to quash the rumour that he bets on the result.



Anyhow big swim night tomorrow, so we have a practice this evening as well



Last night was funny. The PC is in the lounge so the rents are about and help out with words and putting my thoughts into a good argument. I so wanted to answer a thread yesterday. It got us all talking and, by the time we had agreed here, the thread was closed !!!



Anyhow a few things waiting for the database and whelps to rate before I go off and get wet :)



Catch you later ..... reader :)





PS I am still waiting to take a screen shot of every admin level on one "Who's Online" screen - Prince, Master Vamp, Consul, Sentoran, Dominar, Procurator and Acolyte - its an ambition :)

Brrrrr

Off to work in the freezing cold this morning. We had to finish this big pond this morning because the boss wants us to really get ahead of our stuff with the other small ponds.



I get there and its frozen. You're supposed to use a sort of hot hose laid on the top of the pond to get rid of ice ready for gloop sucking, but we picked it off the top as a sheet and sucked the last of the gloop out. Jeepers that hose was cold to hold even with my gloves on !!!



Anyhow I stood the sheet of ice upright in the middle of the pond, hoping it would freeze in the position - the the sun came out and spoiled everything.



Came back to watch some TV - magnificent 7 part 2 and Space 1999 - was OK I guess.



Finally got in here at about 4 and its an early night tonight, we have a quarter final in the debating society tomorrow and we're all under instruction not to arrive like zombies.

Budgie, the helicopter

22:58 Feb 01 2007
Times Read: 900


Today we found out some interesting facts about- Budgie, the little helicopter ride



1) It says "Get in let me take you for a ride"

2) It costs 10p

3) It is easier to get 4 people in when no-one is looking than to get 4 people out when a security guard is stood right there watching
