    got something nice to say?

    I like you all really, I don't know anyone enough here to dislike them really.... it's all words on a screen after all. But I really don't spend enough time on here - which is something I'll have to sort out - as soon as the missus yells "Are you still on the Internet????? Come to bed its...

    What Are You Reading Right now?

    something happier this time... "Mr American" by George Macdonald Fraser. It's about a Yankee ex- wild west gunfighter who comes to escape his past in a quiet english village. A far nicer and funnier book than you'd expect and an excellent cameo by a certain General Flashman (ret.)

    if you could have a superpower...

    X-ray vision would be cool, but I think people would look weird, are we talking minus clothes, or seeing bone and sinew and the lot? That would be creepy. Something like Auto-Suggestion would be good, like The Force in Star Wars..... Wife: No, I don't feel like it tonight Dear... Me...

    holy crap faulty ignition causing deaths?!...

    Pontiac G5.... Isn't that the rebadged Commodore? Was there a recall announced over here for that? (not that I really care for Commodores, but one exploding right in front of me would really surprise me, they just normally drive into lamp posts)

    Die for your country! Or they will do it for you!

    What the..........?? Jeez, even if the old chap got mad, he should have been treated with a little more dignity and respect. There's got to be more to this story than this....

    Ellen Page

    I've heard rumours she was Bi for a couple of years now.... can't see this will damage her career! I've always liked her as an actress.

    Show Us Your Car(s)

    Yup I6 although Dohc and generally messed about with - plus mahoovise turbo. Ford should have exported these to the USA and marketed them as a four-door Mustang, I think they missed an opportunity there... These will be more soon though sadly, Ford is closing Car Manufacturing in Australia...

    Animal shelter rescue or pound?

    Agreed. Our dog was from a rescue group called GreyHound Angels. She was being trained to race by a breeder when she broke her leg due to being kicked when she was 12 weeks old. He took her to the Vets and wanted him to put her down - obviously a greyhound with a knackered leg is never going...

    do you know what caused you to not hear?

    My doctor says Otosclerosis, but as above, my history doesn't match it. When I worked as an Army Contractor about 15years ago now, I was exposed to some very very loud noises on occasion - wouldn't surprise me if that had something to do with it....

    Show Us Your Car(s)

    Very nice..... A mate of mine had a late BA XR6T some years ago. That was an absolute rocket ship, he bought it brand new imported from NZ into Adelaide (worked out way cheaper that way) and drove it back to Perth across the Nullabor He only kept it for a year and traded it in for a HiLux...

    Sweden People

    Last time I was in Sweden was about 11 years ago. Stockholm is such a lovely city and the people there are generally nice. Don't worry too much about the language as most Swedes speak a foreign language and will be happy to try it out on you! When you're in Stockholm, go to the Vasa Warship...

    New hearing aids! Yay!

    They're same ones as my Unitrons, cool colour though, and the fact that they're transparent is very very flash.... Mine are just in black, but Id love to rock a pair of clear ones! Be good to see all the circuitry in them....

    Dennis Rodman drank too much alcoholic beverage in North Korea

    No way that Glorious Best Korea had any help with that..... Still amazes me that the Yanks and the Koreans (and Russia, and china probably) havent flattened Glorious Best Korea yrs ago. Guess we really need that one loony country to make up the headlines.

    ultra expensive dram sold in an auction...

    HOW MUCH????? for a blended whisky? Single Malt for me thanks. Although I did have the chance a few yrs back to try an Indian-distilled whiskey made by an ancient Sikh chap who bought a couple of bottles over with him. It was wonderful stuff.

    Creeped out from your HAs?

    Mine dont creep me out. I dont like wearing them, but people dont usually say anything ( to be honest I wouldnt expect them to either!) If people ask me about them I just say "Yeah, going deaf, just one of those things :) " I have had one guy take the mickey out of me at a pub once last year...

    What do you hoard/collect?

    I'm not sure what I collect.... I never seem to have the money these days to indulge in such things - although I do have a collection of nik-naks and bits and pieces that I bought over from the UK when I emigrated 5 yrs ago. So..... I like to think I collect memories :)
