The Segway PT (personal transporter) has the potential to do for personal transport what the mobile phone did for personal communication.
…
Segways are clean, quick, safe and simple. If we’re serous about our environment, we’ve got to get serious about the Segway.
Isn’t this a bit rich coming from you? You looked very chuffed on the TV recently flying your cheeky ex girlfriend to Paris for the weekend on a private flight (which you piloted.) Get off the eco soapbox before someone kicks you off it.
Having a bit of trouble with registering visitors at the mo.
It can be done, but you won’t get sent an email to verify you are real and not spam. So I’ve turned off compulsory registration for commenting till it’s fixed.
If you really want to register and I don’t notice that an new visitor needs verifying, send me an email and I’ll do it manually.
Aarons’ got a new post up at The Sun Lies.
It’s regarding a letter from ‘Kelly’, about her problems since having a baby, to Jon Gaunt, because he can help so much more than any politician or CAB can.
It hits all the right buttons for the current narrative and probably made him moist.
Whilst strolling through teh interwebs, I happen on this discussion on The Suns’ forum, a post of some text seen in many circular emails: Am I a racist?

Am I racist?
I am a proud Englishman.
I am a royalist.
I am not happy about the way this country is heading.
I do not believe in multiculturism.
I despise this government.
I do not want my kids to go to school in the city (we have moved to the country).
I do not like our traditions been diluted and forgotten.
I believe political correctness is destroying our country.
I believe in tougher prison sentences & capital punishment
I do not believe our troops should have gone to Iraq.
I do not want to join the European Union.
I believe people working in the UK should all pay tax to the UK
I believe there should be a stop on more immigrants entering our country.
I believe the UK should aim to be more self sufficient.
I find Jim Davidson & Chubby Brown very funny.
I treat everyone I meet on face value regardless of colour or faith
There follows a few replies of the nature, ‘No, I agree with all on that list’ and ‘You’re a realist’.
…and then ‘tria1’ comes long and spoils the love-in:

lol, Yes, you just said in another thread you wanted to take a hammer to a Muslim.
Went for a ride with my son on my bike (he sits on the crossbar and then tries to exert some influence on our direction) down by our local river.
It’s quite nice. Lots of flora and ducks and stuff.

Even the guys that work in the factory/warehouse on the other side of the river enjoy it on their breaks.

It’s quite enjoyable, I do recommend it, especially when you get to the lock and the weir.
Hold on, what’s that? There in the corner.

Oh no. Not more bloody houses.

Hmm. Well it’ll probably look alright once the gardens get established and the cover for the wildlife returns, albeit probably a slightly different type of wildlife.

WTF!

Just lay a fucking RSJ across the river, why don’t you! Bollox to trying to make it pretty, or blend it in, like [[popup:riverwalk_6.jpg:a bridge a little further down the same stretch::1:left]] of river. Just: Bam! – Industrial shit! With some [[popup:riverwalk_8.jpg:weird plaques::1:left]].
Steel and metal and industrial stuff is fine in it’s place. I quite like it. But not in the middle of a nice wildlife area.
