This is fun: Richard Hammond's Iceland Buggy Trip
The good news is that Top Gear have finally got themselves onto You Tube. See their channel HERE
The Sunday Best....
MoD troop carriers are U.S. rejects... and '1 in 10' of our soldiers could die in Afghanistan. Criminal!!
13 doctors demand inquest into Dr David Kelly's death. Wasn't suicide.
By 'eck! Now it's equal rights for Northerners: Harriet Harman wants to stamp out discrimination in UK's regions. Does Harriet Harman have any brain cells?
Parents of soldiers killed in Afghanistan lash out at Government. Heads must roll in Whitehall and Westminster.
On patrol with 2 Rifle in the Sangin valley, where five British soldiers were killed. At least the press are taking an interest at last.
Barack Obama tells Africa to stop blaming the West for its woes on historic Ghana visit. Imagine if a white leader had said it.
Cyber attacks enter new phase. The cyber war begins.
Gun sales soar amid fears of Barack Obama weapons ban. The only part of the economy he has stimulated.
Labour clashes with army as Afghan death toll mounts. Labour will lose.
Helicopter shortage has troops at mercy of Taliban. Let's have some Ospreys.
White House ‘dirty tricks’ torpedo Palin. They are scared of her. The GOP need to get the hang of the internet and go after the Dems.
Stop bombing us: Osama isn’t here, says Pakistan. No he is at the Riyadh Hilton.
Mexico: Economics and the Arms Trade. Interesting.
the Clarkypoos bit.......
Just one word and my T-shirt offends the whole of Japan.

The difference between the North and the South - at last, clearly explained.....
The North has Bloomingdale's , the South has Dollar General .
The North has coffee houses, the South has Waffle Houses .
The North has dating services, the South has family reunions.
The North has switchblade knives; the South has .45's
The North has double last names; the South has double first names.
The North has Indy car races; The South has stock car races .
North has Cream of Wheat , the South has grits.
The North has green salads, the South has collard greens .
The North has lobsters, the South has crawfish .
The North has the rust belt; the South has the Bible Belt .
FOR NORTHERNERS MOVING SOUTH . . ....
In the South : --If you run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in a four-wheel drive pickup truck with a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them, just stay out of their way. This is what they live for.
Don't be surprised to find movie rentals and bait in the same store... Do not buy food at this store.
Remember, 'Y'all' is singular, 'all y'all' is plural, and 'all y'all's' is plural possessive.
Get used to hearing 'You ain't from round here, are ya?'
Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed later on how to use it.
Don't be worried at not understanding what people are saying. They can't understand you either. The first Southern statement to creep into a transplanted Northerner's vocabulary is the adjective 'big'ol,' truck or 'big'ol' boy. Most Northerners begin their Southern-influenced dialect this way. All of them are in denial about it.
The proper pronunciation you learned in school is no longer proper.
Be advised that 'He needed killin..' is a valid defense here.
If you hear a Southerner exclaim, 'Hey, y'all watch this,' you sho uld stay out of the way. These are likely to be the last words he'll ever say.
If there is the prediction of the slightest chance of even the smallest accumulation of snow, your presence is required at the local grocery store. It doesn't matter whether you need anything or not. You just have to go there.
Do not be surprised to find that 10-year olds own their own shotguns, they are proficient marksmen, and their mammas taught them how to aim.
In the South, we have found that the best way to grow a lush green lawn is to pour gravel on it and call it a driveway.
AND REMEMBER: If you do settle in the South and bear children, don't think we will accept them as Southerners. After all, if the cat had kittens in the oven, we ain't gonna call 'em biscuits.

IS it different this time?................from Rico
The Great Depression did NOT happen overnight, rather it unfolded like a slow-motion train wreck. Very slow motion. There were 'market recoveries' along the way to the bottom that fooled many into investing in those hopey-changey green shoots (or whatever they were called back then, remember cocaine was legal).
I hear "but it's DIFFERENT this time" from all corners. Team Obama, the Money Honeys, economists that should know better, the Beard Bernanke, etc.
Is it? Is it REALLY different this time?
Things are following the same pattern, at about the same speed, and suggest that those who 'know' are simply doing their best to buy 'time' before we hit bottom.....all those except Congress, that is.
- Last go-around we had 'time' for them to enact Smoot-Hawley and really muck things up.
- This time Cap & Trade will shove us over the edge.
Look at the charts and decide for yourself, but I posit 52% wanted "change" and 100% of us are on the verge of being screwed.
Man of the house..........
The husband had just finished reading a new book entitled, 'You Can Be the Man of Your House'.
He stormed to his wife in the kitchen and announced, 'From now on, you need to know that I am the man of this house and my word is law.
You will prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I'm finished eating my meal, you will serve me a sumptuous dessert. After dinner, you are going to go upstairs with me and we will have the kind of sex that I want.
Afterwards, you are going to draw me a bath so I can relax. You will wash my back and towel me dry and bring me my robe. Then, you will massage my feet and hands. Then tomorrow, guess who's going to dress me and comb my hair?'
The wife replied, 'The f**kin' funeral director would be my first guess.'

How deep a hole?.............from Rico
How deep is the hole we're in?
Brace yourself for a whole lotta zero's.
- Gee, there're so many zeros it reminds me of looking at a Zimbabwe currency note.
We should expect the same with our currency one of these days...more zeros/less value.

"Pick your favourite . . . "
Australian Inflight Safety Announcement overheard on a recent flight Down Under:
“In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with more than one small child, pick your favourite.”

Americans for Liberty
"Barack Obama -- the former attorney for the corrupt Association of Community Organization and Reform Now (ACORN) -- has now nominated for Census Bureau czar a man who (perhaps not surprisingly) refuses to rule out paying ACORN lieutenants tens of millions of tax dollars to, of all things, count the number of Americans who should receive federally funded hand-outs and be allowed to vote."

The 'new' GM............from Rico
Post bailout, GM has emerged from Government-induced bankruptcy today to become the 'new' GM.....Government Motors.
I've not yet seen any reports of celebrations in Detroit...not even with the launching/unveiling of GM's environmentally-friendly "green" new vehicle design for a "changed" American auto industry.
Al Gore was so lonely standing there by himself.....
