Chinese for dinner

Very unsatisfying.

You eat one and then, half an hour later, you feel hungry again.

I think it's the noodles.

Speak for yourself. As the Countess Scarlioni will confirm, I'm "all man".

You need the soup

This evening's entertainment was slightly shorter than normal coz I forgot the NZ motorway thing was on & missed half an hour.

However the rest of it was made up with various NZ lunes doing silly things, various visiting lunes doing silly things and a really drunk lune totalling his father's Audi at about 100mph without killing himself or any of the things he hit.

Loved the lune attempting to tow a trailer with a hut on it down the motorway.

The cops blocked the motorway so he could drive the wrong way back to the nearest turn off coz the hut on the trailer was too tall for the overpasses.

And when the plod ask you to take a breath test, FFS just do it & don't offer to take out one of the plod on a dark night.

The two chinese hookers were interesting though.

The Commander (1988)

sounds like a dire film & the 30 seconds I watched confirmed my suspicions.

How far Lewis Collins and Lee Van Cleef had fallen.

I broke my Chevvy Captiva AWD a week ago so have been using a hire car. I now know that I am scared to drive a Nissan Micra and any other car of that ilk!

Went out yesterday and bought a Land Rover Freelander 2 2.2 Td4e XS. a proper car. Can't wait to pick it up on Thursday

Until then there is the Nissan Micra

Tomorrow I may go shooting, or if the weather is nice I may drag the Harley out of the garage and take a ride to Brecon.

I'm bored now

Tonight's cinematic experience opened with The Firm, based on one of John Grisham's attempts to make being a lawyer seem exciting. On the evidence of this film, it's only moderately exciting, very occasionally and under unusual circumstances

This was followed by Monster, which was excellent. It's a based-on-a-true-story film in which Charlize Theron plays the unfortunate Aileen Wuornos, who was executed in 2002 for killing a number of men. It's a very sad story

And to end the evening I finally got around to watching the first episode of the BBC series Life on Mars, which was also excellent

Goodnight all

I hate small cars as well. They are not fun to drive on motorways.


Oh and

[zeitghost]

Vaguely sunny.

Dry.

Sort of mediocre.

I loved my little Fiat Seicento.

Just sayin' like.

Having destroyed two kitchen radios I was forced to dig out an ancient ghetto blaster that's built into a cardboard box.

The reason for this is that it belonged to a plasterer and fell off a scaffold thus ending up in a lot of pieces.

Said pieces were reassembled into a cardboard box some 28 years ago.

And it still works.

Amazing.

Even sounds quite good.

Diver posting at midnight. Have you sawed through your hand again?

And it still works

Got a cheap ancient pre-FM portable radio in my garage. Not tried listening to music on it for decades but, for detecting mains cable in the wall, it works better than the proper thing from Homebase.
