 The BBC is inviting you to Have Your Say about "Kensington Tractors". Huge 4x4 off road vehicles that never get muddy and the heaviest load they ever see is when the owner brings back the shopping from Harvey Nicks. Yes, if you've got a big family then you need a bigger transporter, but on the whole how many times do you see one of these cars with just one occupant? Tax the feckers to the hilt.
I particularly like this comment:
"Ban them, how ridiculous! They are absolutely essential in Windsor, particularly for taking children to school!"
J Walster, Windsor Berkshire (an obvious yank of the sarcasm chain there me thinks)
Calm down it's just a rant commercial.

I never thought I would ever mention the names Tony Blackburn and Cliff Richard on my site but the latest news/publicity stunt has amused me. Not for the fact that Tony got suspended from his slot on Classic Gold Digital radio station but for the face Noel Edmunds pulled when he heard the news. Noel was appearing on Richard and Judy plugging his latest business venture/disaster (a new 4 wheel moped if you must know). Richard casually asked him what he thought of the story to which Noel's face fell ten foot. He went on to say "I know nothing of this and since I happen to be a founding partner of the company you think I'd know about it. err... I think I need to make a phone call!" Cue laughter.

How 80 days can turn into 150 days if you happen to be a Film Set Artist. I'm not sure I fancy the 40 ft blank canvas the artist, Anthony Cain, had to tackle. The prospect of needing a lift to complete a job is a daunting one.

Rooney sparks net names scramble. With his success on the field, eager web "entrepreneurs" are snapping up domian names relating to the boy wonder. This is one example - crikey, what a bad lookalike.

Here's a new online mag for your perusal. Into The Storm. I'm still in two minds about trying to make a mag format work online. This one has just enough interactivity to keep you clicking though. I do like the little hidden treasures in this one like the link to where to sit on the bus and the facts hidden amongst the mythical creatures tentacles.

 I have a tendency to blog stuff thats funny , newsworthy or art related, however this post is to draw your attention to a more sober topic: death. Small Victories is one of those unseen episodes in life that so many must endure. Thank God there are guys out there that do try to make a difference. I doff my cap to you.

Tearing myself away from my desk for lunch I found myself in one of the local art galleries. Rostra Gallery is a fairly relaxed place to while away some time. Of note in their selection of limited edition prints is Andrew Price whose stark black and white prints of the local area are excellent.

Satellite images 'show Atlantis'. Looking at satellite images from around europe one scientist claims that he has found Atlantis in Spain. He'll need more solid proof from an archeological dig before its accepted as the Lost City.
