Random stupid things on your mind. Post them.

It isn't universally wanted or loved. One reason being that a great deal of the total road repair budget has been put into the routes this charade takes. If you look at the actual routes on maps it isn't that much compared to the hundreds of miles that need repair. Topographically, although it isn't like the mountains of the Alps, it's still pretty gruelling in places. Especially north west of Leeds and between Huddersfield and Sheffield. IF* the weather is nice, the views are beautiful.


* If it's not, it's not so nice.

I can't believe Wiggins and Froome can't ride together for Britain's Team Sky this year.  Someone should get the two of them in a room and bonk their heads together.

          I wish ISIS would kill American actors named Shia.

Who names a kid Shia.  Because of the name, for years I thought it was a teenage girl pulling all those stunts.

[paladin1991]

So when is V due out?  I could use me some "Tall Man."  So to speak.

Is that what the kids are calling 'it' these days?

Wiggins is out of it because of his fitness. He was on the radio the other day saying he'd had a fall too many and wouldn't be fit, and also said why should he race when there were 8 blokes in stronger positions than him to race.

I hope, in the best possible NYPD way, someone said "I don't give a shit. Get the fuck in the squad car, and mind your head."

Do NY cops swear? I've NEVER heard a British cop swear..NOT NEVER EVER.

SOLAR ROADS
By Cam Denver

Almost heaven, Cape Girardeau,
Blu-ray torrents, Demonoid is bookmarked.
Life is old there, older than Spec Sheet
Younger than Godlike's site, but it just can't be beat.

Solar roads, take me home,
To the place I post on:
Bell gab dot com, it's my dharma,
Take me home, solar roads.

All the snarkys, gather 'round her,
Art Bell's lady, stranger to dark matter.
Dark and dusty, cracklin' on my screen,
Misty taste of Fret Files, Gabcast in my spleen.

Solar roads, take me home,
To the place I post on:
Bell gab dot com, it's my dharma,
Take me home, solar roads.

I hear Evelyn, on the Train Wreck hours she calls me,
The saved podcast reminds me of my home far away.
And reading on the forum,
I get a feelin' that I should have signed on yesterday,
yesterday.

Solar roads, take me home,
To the place I post on:
Bell gab dot com, it's my dharma,
Take me home, solar roads.

Solar roads, take me home,
To the place I post on:

Take me home, solar roads.

Take me home, solar roads.
Take me home, down solar roads.

That would be "Yo! Need some  help?"

Probably so; I was quoting.

You can add to that, a sex offender who did time from 81-83.

Also a lot of the ads here in Asia are asking if I'm looking for a middle aged American male. Weird.

Being away for so long and really behind on this forum. But, this is kinda funny... I was going through old sketchbooks and found these really bizarre drawings I did. Of JC and an Alien and also Noory and Hoagland in bed. I think there's one of Bateman and his cats and also Noory and that evil raccoon. Hahaha.

My friend wrote the following letter to try and get out of a parking fine.

Dear Stonnington Parking fine department,

I received a parking fine this morning at 10.47am on Chapel St after going to 7Camicie, a shirt shop, which was actually a waste of time, as the shirts were very unflattering and European, but I digress. I had noted my arrival time of 9.53am, as I am always very careful to avoid parking fines. So I was horrified to find myself being fined when I was sure I had 6 minutes to spare. The male ticket writer (I note him being male, a point which I will come back to later), informed me from his written notes, that he had marked my car at 9.24am. I asked him if he was sure and he told me that indeed he was, as he had written it down, and he was never wrong. Now I’m sure that as a male he is never wrong, an argument I have with my wife on a regular basis, however in this instance I feel he must be. You see, I dropped my 4yo daughter Millie at Kindergarten this morning, we played and laughed and had a really lovely Daddy/daughter time and then took myself for a well deserved coffee at 9.03am, I note this time from my phone as I spoke to my wife as I sat down to coffee at a new establishment called the Glass Merchant Café next to Wall 280 in Balaclava, I remember this call, as my wife asked me how I could possibly try a new coffee shop next to one of Melbourne’s best coffee shops, but me being male disagreed with her, anyway I digress.

Unfortunately she was right and the coffee wasn’t as good as Wall280 next door, proving on this occasion, she was indeed right (a point worth noting). After this coffee, I went to Coles Balaclava and purchased a number of items, the most important being Mentos pure fresh chewing gum in a new lemon mint flavour, which is truly delightful if you haven’t tried it, you should but once again, I digress, my wife tells me often I should just stick to the story, but I’m never wrong, so on I go. Now, I never keep receipts from the supermarket, but on this occasion I did for some unknown reason, perhaps I subconsciously knew I was going to get fined by one of your male workers, and thus needed proof that he was indeed wrong. Now the receipt on this supermarket receipt (enclosed) says 9.40am. Now I have trialled the 300 metres (0.18 miles) walk back to my car to place the items in my trunk and drive back to the main road. Assuming I did it at world record pace, it should have taken me 43.18 seconds not counting the time to place the items in my boot. From there it is approximately 4km (2.5 miles) to where I finally parked and was fined. There are 9 sets of traffic lights, 2 stop signs and two 40km/h (24 miles/h) zones between these two points. Now I note these points as I have never received a speeding fine, and aim to keep my perfect record intact. So I would have had to drive this distance in 5 minutes to arrive and park at 9.46 in order to be fined at 10.47. Google maps tells me it takes 9 minutes at the speed limit and I believe it took me about 10 minutes as I reckon I am not as fast as Michael Johnson, the 400m (440 yards) world record holder.

In summary
I do not own a Delorean motor vehicle, the only time machine car I am aware of, (you know, the one from Back to the future, one of Michael J Fox’s better films, but once again I stray off the point) that would have allowed me to travel back in time to 9.24am and park and then drive back to the supermarket to shop and then teleport back to Chapel St.
Your employee, although male, could have in this instance been wrong, even though he was insistent that he marked my car at 9.24am, a time when I was in the supermarket. I did ask him if he could have been wrong, but he said no never, as he wrote it down!

So either I am a time travelling liar, or your employee could have been, in this instance wrong.

Thankyou in advance for quashing this ridiculous travesty,

[jazmunda]
