    I'm not interested in cars, and I'm irritated by Chris Evans. Kinda makes sense to me having them in the same place :)

    Top Gear was mildly amusing in parts from what i saw, but it was all so staged, just like everything Graham Norton has ever done 'live'. I dont like fake and i dont like being treated like a sheep.

    But I dont need to be so grumpy. People enjoy it, so what the hell! :p

    Along with Jeb Busch. Good news for the Democrats if either of those win the primary.

    I'm just imaging Alan Sugar as PM, then making it 100 times worse!

    It's just Jeb now. He has realised that the family name may be detrimental to his chances. But, W. did win two terms.

    Trump is just an arrogant, egotistical monstronsitiy of a man really. What he did to those people in Scotland, by throwing them out of their homes and building a golf course was awful. A friend of the family was one of those residents, and still lives there, but wakes up to a 12 ft pile of rubble outside her window every morning.

    Trumps awful. Beside being a complete twat he's also so ****ing needy, aggresive and egomaniacal, he actually is the Republican party incarnate now that i think about it. Hasn't the prick gone bankrupt like twice already?

    I love that 'Jeb' is the less embarrasing part of his name <laugh>

    Cars are boring, people who talk about cars are even more boring and people who make TV programmes about cars are even more boring still which is why Top Gear became a lads show with three grown men trying to outdo the three old blokes in Last of the Summer Wine for stupid pranks.

    They were more understanding than I anticipated. However, still no joy, despite tweeting, phoning and e-mailing. Will try tomorrow

    Seriously, it was the most mundane item possible, no-one in their right mind would have nicked it!

    Regardless, I'm having the week from hell. Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong it seems.

    I'm glad there was room for the headdress, unlike when she came to Bristol!

    It actually wasn't a headdress, it was actually some feathers on a hat, kinda Las Vegas showgirl style, but we had a hat failure just before she went on!

    Listening to Dave Brubeck - A Cut Above, LP [oh yes , I like great jazz] Here he is doing part of a Duke Ellington medley off the album. Incidentally, the person on Youtube who put this up [well done] ought to take care of the record a little better. Never mind, it's great:



    Bit of trivia. The middle aged Dave is running between the grooves of a positive stamper. The two pronged stylus to his right is used to play the positive. Analogue technology. It's so simple, yet so effective.

    What's an analogue? It's sounds arse related.

    Trust me you'd know an analogue when you heard or saw it my digital diet fed friend.

    Put simply, Analogue is the real thing. Digital imitates the real thing.

    Reminds me of when I first got online about 95 or 96, My mum wanted to watch to see what all the fuss was about.
    I was searching for a PC company called Analogic, well I didnt expect the results i got back then.
    Atleast she found it funny at the time, I was so embarassed.

    Im a bit more careful nowadays, what with the missus and kids about
