The English Way Still Going Strong
You’ve got to love it - the UK’s response to increased violence and trying to illegally win an election (again), “we” take away “President” Mugabe’s honorary knighthood and cancel a cricket tour.
Mr Mugabe, condemned over violence ahead of a presidential run-off election, was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath in 1994.
That was withdrawn...

Following on from the posting on the Alfa Mito last week, here’s what looks like the Alfa GTA version. Rumored to be pepped up to around 230 bhp, it’s definitely a looker for me.

Posting every day lasted one day! →
What a surprise, although given the week I’m having this week, the fact that I’m still alive to post this today is something of a bonus. And the fact that it’s Friday, which means I can grab…

Legend
I’m not really into golf, but this past weekend, Tiger proved what it means to be a legend in the world of sports

“Tiger looked at the doctor and said, ‘I’m playing in the U.S. Open, and I’m going to...

Would You Pay $715 for $630 in Cash?
joelaz:
There is a buy-it-now listing on eBay today where the seller is offering $630 in cash, which he will send electronically to the buyer through PayPal. The current price for this listing is $715. Why would someone pay $715 for $630 in cash? Well, you may have heard that Microsoft recently launched a ridiculous “cash back” promotion in the hopes of bribing Google customers to switch to...
