Winter Olympics

Haven't watched much of the winter olympics although I did watch the final part of the ice skating tonight.

They really work those girls hard - not only do they have to skate for 4 minutes but then they have to repeat the interesting bits in slow motion in case the viewers missed something!

22 days to go

until the first F1 race of 2006.

Bahrain, 10 - 12 March.

I know it's a Tilke circuit but I can hardly wait!

My first ENZO !

I saw my first Ferrari Enzo today!

Not the best circumstances - it was stuck in suburban traffic - but even at idle, the sound of that V12....!!!!!!!

With apologies for the rubbish quality of the images - camera phone.

Space Patrol!

This is weird! For years I have been convinced that I watched a TV programme in my childhood (early 60's), it was about a spaceship called Galasphere 347, the crew had a strange creature called a Gabblerdictum Bird. Yeah, I know!

Anyway, no-one that I spoke to remembered it. Whenever I mentioned it to someone of a similar age to me, hoping they would remember seeing it I always got the same reaction - in fact most people thought I was making it up or was barking mad.

I'd done a few googles in the past with no sucess. For some strange reason I tried searching for it today, don't know why I tried again but I did. I must have tried slightly different spellings or something because google came back with loads of results! Fantastic! So I'm not mad after all. OK well maybe not.....

So.... I'm not alone, there are quite a few people out there who remember the programme - the BBC even do a DVD!



Here's a picture of the crew and the Gabblerdictum bird aboard Galasphere 347 - and here's the dedicated site: Space Patrol. Yobba Rays to stun!

Ramblings

Of course I have no idea if anyone reads this junk, apologies to my readers (Ha Ha) for lack of posts recently. Honestly there are Good Reasons for gaps in chronology, e.g. nothing to say/too busy/too stressed.....

I've been reading Ben Myers' biography on Green Day (worth a read BTW) and have been attempting to learn Jesus of Suburbia, I'm sort of there, really, but I think I've done my arm in. Is there such a thing as guitarists elbow? Anyway, today I got some new picks and one has a skull & crossbones on it so hopefully that will make all the difference.
