Cat Hit One?

Today’s awesome video comes to us via Japan:

I made it big to you can appreciate the awesome. Also I have a 24 inch widescreen here at work so I don’t give a shit.

It puts the lotion in the lego basket!

Not something you see every day…

A 42 year old American built Ford Mustang… in Oxford!  I thought this was a neat photo, nice mustang in front of a 12 century church…. on a Sunday!  I wasn’t going to the church though, there’s a nice pub opposite the church - that was where I was headed!

Oxford

I love Oxford.   I find excuses to go into town to run errands when I’ve got an empty weekend.  I love so many of the buildings, but this one is a favourite.  It’s probably one of the most photographed buildings in Oxford, it’s the Radcliffe Camera.  It’s a library that the public aren’t allowed into, but that doesn’t stop them from trying!  Tourists also love photographing it… from every angel… while walking in front of cyclists…

It’s nice to know

that the world over, brown velvet sofas are being thrown out.  I think they have seen their day…  This photo taken around the corner.  Anyone got a violin?

You can almost see our house…

Google street view has come to Belfast! They drove down nearly every street in the city, except for ours. But you can look up our street here.

So looks like I beat SlantyBJ & Wolf to the punch. Not by much though, their time is still a ticking.

There’s a funny thing about being down on one knee. You really hope she says yes, cause boy would you look silly holding a ring with one dirty knee.

Fortunantly for me she did answer yes. :-)

SlantyOD is a victim of the credit crunch

Well, those are his own words, I’m a victim of the credit crunch.  An Icelandic bank?  Who knew?

Michael Lewis of Moneyball fame has a Vanity Street article delving into how Iceland went bankrupt, and how they became an international finance hotspot in the first place.  Wall Street on the Tundra

Reading the article feels like reading a piece of highly imaginative, absurdist fiction, until you realize that its (at least mostly) true.  Then it feels like reading a horror novel.
