Apologies....
.. for being so quiet recently but I've had a lot on. But soon that will change and I'll be back to irritating the masses with my usual garble.
But for those still here I give you THIS - it should either make you smile or become quiet ill.
Enjoy ;)

.site update!
Just got in from washing the 8v and the 911. I took some pics because we rarely get weather as nice as today so I've uploaded the pics and put them in the usual locales.

A Sunday evening's ramble
Good evening Pilgrim. Your journey's end no doubt?
What a weekend. I can't honestly say I'm accomplised an awful lot but I'm breeze over some of it for your enjoyment and/or perusal.
Friday night started off with dinner with my Gemma, brother and his girlfriend La-Ura and friends of La-Ura and Gemma - Charlie and her bloke. We went to a local Harvester and had a pretty good evening. They've changed their menu again and now there is even less for the veggie's amongst us. Typical really.
Anyhoo - Saturday was a nice lazy morning in bed with Gemgem then we went out to see "Starsky and Hutch". Great movie and very funny. Ben Stiller is one of my favourite comedians and he's right at home here. Plus the Ford Grand Torino has a lot of screen time which can't be bad! Beautiful car...
Saturday night was great - Me, Gemma and Pizza. Caught up on some Alias and had a quiet one. Perfect day really :D
Today I put an appearance in with the family unit and then took the 911 out to stretch her legs. Took her up to Hook to meet up with the ClubCalibra guys and gals and met some new faces. Good time had by all again and then "stretched" the 911's legs again on the way home ;)
I settled down this evening just before six pm with Star Wars Galaxies and I logged off... quarter of an hour ago! It's easy to lose hours in an online environment like that - especially when everything is so new and so huge. I'm probably seen 5% of Naboo and there are NINE planets! Plus I'm only on my third pistol. I have SO much to see and do... 5 hours did nothing at all. Great eh!
At least I now OWN those stupid Gnouts....

Batman Begins
Right HERE
Only three pics - one of the logo and two of the new Batmobile (which is really really ugly).

Ghost Town
Many things intrigue me about the past. Mainly disasters like the Titanic, Hindenburg, the Twin Towers (9/11) and of course Chernobyl.
It's very hard to imagine what that town is now like and even this site doesn't do it justice. But for now it's the "best" view of something that a lot of people have now forgotten.
Have a look - it'll make you think. Really.

Star Wars Galaxies
Ah yes..
Released quite a while back now but to little interest to me; I've avoided it purely because of Neocron.
However my brother has been playing it and recently showed me around his online town and demonstrated how the game has progressed. Within 10 minutes I knew I wanted it. A year ago he showed me the same thing but it looked and sounded and from what I saw, played like a game missing everything Star Wars is.
Now that's changed and I have it (I ordered it that very day!). I'm still very much a n00b but enjoying the new challenge of getting things wrong and being killed by tiny creatures... all good fun!
This isn't to say I've given up on Neocron but for the moment I'm giving it a rest - DoY is out in the next couple of months and I want to start fresh in that new universe (because I think it will be very new).
Have I got time in my life for both? Hell no.. but I'll do it anyway! Raaaaa
Oh btw - check out SWG at http://www.starwarsgalaxies.com

A week on blog
I really haven't had the time this week to blog. Not really been in the mood to do it either to be honest - but that is no excuse!
In fact I had meant to blog on Tuesday morning after seeing Smallville Monday night. It was a very interesting (read: weird) episode. I think it was playing on the success of "The Fast and Furious" films and the "recent" trend to street race.
Of course street racing has been going on since man was able to pilot wheeled vehicles but only recently has it gotten real (big screen) media attention. Anyhoo - it was clearly a mish-mash episode. The cars were powered by the obligatory "NOS" but with extra special kryptonite to make them even quicker. However, the blokey running it (never seen before of course) ran his "shop" out of a barn with lots of banners in it.... hmmm. Chuck in a Yank tank and a few Jap mobiles and there you have it - instant F&F.
I didn't buy it.
Sillier still was the final "race" that took each car several minutes to get to 100mph. I love the whole "97, 98..." thing where the cars never quite get there...
The rest of the week so far hasn't been anything special really. Spent most of the evenings with Gemma (home for Easter) and in the gym (no surprise there then!).
Oh.. my next blog will be on SWG. SWG? You'll see in a few sentences!

British Summer Time
Or GMT. Or BST. Or something else... hell, I don't know and I really don't care!
But we have "Sprung forward" by one hour in good old Blighty and now it's Spring. So that means April showers and more bad weather. Thankfully that'll be followed by rain and more bad weather (we call it Summer). Of course the eventuality is that Autumn and Winter must follow Summer so that must mean rain and bad weather.
If I were to read in to that I'd seem cynical. But I won't.

Camarobatcave update(s)
Indeed the site has several galleries now - showing none other than the Blog owner's very own Camaro! I say "Head on over" and "Go now" and other such insightful and motivational comments.
So go on then. Check 'em out. Especially if you don't see many Camaro's in your neck of the woods.

I feel GREEEAAAT!
This is a great video. Funniest thing I've seen in years.
Been around for a while but this is the first time I've thought of posting it.
Do yourself a favour. Buy a Nutri-grain!

My Saxo is quicker than your NEW 911 Turbo...
... yes, of course it is.
My.. a flying pig. Whatever next?
HERE
EDIT: The post is very old - August 2002 in fact... so things change! However - it's still funny to read.

A fan of the 7th Guest?
If, like me, you are a fan and enjoyed that very game almost 11 years ago (this month!) then the following article may be of interest.
It's the very interesting story of the rise and fall of Trilobyte - the company behind 7th Guest. Most interesting to me were the pictures of the house Stauf's mansion was based on and the (only) shot of 7th Guest 3. I can only imagine what the third game would have been like!
I've recently gotten back in to the game (with the help of a newly purchased CD-i) and am enjoying the puzzles, awful acting and wonderfully upbeat music. They certainly don't make them like they used to!

Wire wheels on your TT, Sir?
This is just not right. Why? I mean.. I'm not a fan of the TT but to stick THOSE wheels on is just..... just, wrong.
Whatever next? LOL
