So I recently started a new project - one that does not bring money in… its a black 1988 Jeep Wrangler with 6″ of lift on 35″ tires and a hard top. I hope it wasnt a mistake… right now it sort of feels like one since it wont start. The mechanic I had it inspected by said that I should think about replacing the starter. I have one in the mail now.
It has ran, I even drove it 50 miles from Jersey where I bought it from. Ive driven it a few times never knowing if it will start reliably. Just the other day it finally didnt start. It sounds like the starter is trying to kick it in, but the engine never starts up. I am not very mechanically inclined, but I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and take things apart.
It currently has no radio, but my goal is to get it running reliably first. Its got the looks, now it just needs the engine work. Then I can move onto the sound department. There are so many parts made for Jeeps. The only down side is where do you draw the line about how much money you can put into a project like this… Wish me luck.
Hmmm. So, in the Public area of this sin bin, Mob posted this weird stuff. Now, how the chips does that work then? How do you mime for god? Im lost. Its got to be some amazing American stuff that I just don’t get. And..as usual, I make a general disclaimer that says “cos Im a Brit, I dont think the USA is full of mentalists”, or I wouldnt be a friend of Mob..would I? Okay..I know what you are going to say, “But Mob really is in need of sectioning”, but its just not true I tell ya! True, he does have a weird fetish for dead old ladies, but thats by the by.
Anyway…I digress…
HOWEVER..I bet I would pay to see them. Why? Cos on the surface it sounds like total rubbish. And thats enough for me to part with good money for bad ideas. Hey, Im reknowned for dismissing things before trying them, so these weirdo mimes get my vote. If they can turn me to God, then obviously its a good thing. But, on the surface, it looks like shite.
So, back to my paultry country. In the last week, I have listened to debates about not wearing red poppies on rememberance day and chagning them for white ones cos we dont want to offend anyone (bog standard political correctness shite although rememberance day is not religious blah blah) and that 3 prisoners have received monetary settlements out of court for protesting that their human rights were being contravened for not being allowed to get drugs in prison. Eh? Quick, give the rapists some live bait! They might sue!
And tonight his Tonyness (mr Blair) is speaking about the need to talk with Iran and Syria regarding assisting in Iraq. Hmm..arent they two of Bush’s Axis of Excrement? No matter, its all gone pear shaped anyway, so why not bring them in. Im guessing though that Syria will jump up and down shouting “pick me, pick me”, whilst Iran will say, “Yea. Sure. Now….piss off and let us have Nukes”. Its all one big fat face saving exercise if you ask me. Okay, so you havent, but thats not important.
Other than that, Im well. Thanks for asking.

A man suffered internal burns when he tried to launch a rocket from his bottom on Bonfire Night. Paramedics found the 22-year-old bleeding, with a Black Cat Thunderbolt Rocket lodged inside him, when they attended the scene in Sunderland.
He suffered a scorched colon and is now recovering in hospital, where his condition is described as stable.
A spokesman for the North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) said the prank could have been fatal.
“He sustained fairly significant injuries in the fact that there’s huge damage to that particular area.”
‘Beyond belief’
Mr McDougal added: “Potentially it could have been a fatal incident.
“There’s a lot of major blood vessels round that area, so infection would probably be a huge problem for him.
“And also the body naturally produces methane gas, so combine that with the firework and the exploding effect with methane’s flammability - it certainly could have been a lot worse than it really was.”
A spokesman for the Firework Association described the bizarre prank as “beyond belief”.
He said: “We have spent a long time working with the government to create laws that make fireworks safer and better for the public.
“This incident is very concerning but hopefully an isolated one.”
Northumbria Police said they were aware of the incident, which happened in the Dame Dorothy Street area of Monkwearmouth, but are understood not to be carrying out further inquiries.

Just thought youd want to know that its 11:11 on 11/11. Going to see Tim Reynolds tonight.
A woman was shopping at her local supermarket where she selected: a half-gallon of 2% milk, a carton of eggs, a quart of orange juice, a head of romaine lettuce, a 2 lb. can of coffee, and a 1 lb. package of bacon. As she was unloading her items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk standing behind her watched as she placed the items in front of the cashier. While the cashier was ringing up her purchases, the drunk calmly stated, “You must be single.” The woman was a bit startled by this proclamation, but she was intrigued by the derelict’s intuition, since she was indeed single. She looked at her six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about her selections that could have tipped off the drunk to her marital status. Curiosity getting the better of her, she said “Well, you know what, you’re absolutely correct. But how on earth did you know that?” The drunk replied, “Cause you’re ugly.”
Well, its soon to come off when he plunges down from the gallows!
Mr Insane has been sentenced to death. Get on with it and let’s move on. But…no…the roundabout of opinions will surely go on about “flawed trial”, which, in Iraqi is that which Husseins appeal will surely focus on.
Regardless, I doubt anyone really believes that he has anything to do with what is still going on in Iraq today, but yet I do think that the world needs rid of the man, although I harbour doubt as to whether the people of Iraq actually believe that he was tried by Iraq Law as opposed to a set of rules written in another country and imposed upon their “new found” democracy and given the title “Iraq Law”. This in itself will cause debate hereafter.
But…he is to die and then perhaps the world can forget about him. He was a tyrant and regardless of who fills his shoes, its one less finger waggling dictator in this cruel world.
Good riddance I say. However, he is not the only criminal…is he!
