The Latest

I finally met an internet buddy at Dalles Pow Wow this weekend. She showed me her tattoo and I was hooked… it was the best work I’d ever seen, and I’m going to get her friend to do a tattoo down my entire right arm, with a turtle on my shoulder covering up my current tattoo. Read more...

Music n’ Car Stuff

Last week I was searching Wikipedia for something, which I cannot recall presently, and I came across one of a series of pages on British music in the 90′s.  So obviously the next logical step would be to spend five days and nights scouring Limewire for all those songs that struck a chord way back from 1990 onwards.

I’ve started a post series about it, so you can view some of the music I listen to entitled ‘‘.

I recently hit 96,000km on my Toyota Matrix and so had to get an oil change.  They also inspected the fuel system, replaced the air filter, engine coolant, transmission fluid, differential fluid, transfer case fluid, and cabin air filter.  That all cost $371.  Upon inspection they also found that my front rotors were COMPLETELY  rusted and had grooves in them, and my front brake pads were worn down 95% and so I had to spend another $374 getting those replaced.  I don’t mind, because my car is one of my babies so I have to take good care of it… I just wish it was cheaper hahahaha.  Turns out I can’t buy a new 2009 Toyota Matrix XR AWD because I can’t prove what I earn – it’s too early to do a tax return and bank statements showing deposits aren’t admissible.  That sucks.

Proud to be British

Every once in a while I’m reminded of how excellent British people are.  I was reading the news and saw that a group of four Royal Marines were on patrol clearing a compound when the lead Marine Lance Corporal Matthew Croucher activated a trip wire with a live grenade.  He threw himself on the grenade using Read more...

Awesome Songs from 1990 Onward

I’ve always firmly believed that the music of the 80′s and 90′s were the best musical eras ever, with the 90′s slightly winning over the 80′s in my opinion.  Obviously being 29, the 90′s were full of memories most of which were me having deep crushes which last for months and months, sometimes years, and some Read more...

British coppers need to get with the times

When are British people going to get over this bullshit tradition of our cops not carrying guns?  Back in the day the image of a British bobby without a firearm might have been charming but not anymore.

I just read this story about two British coppers in Croydon who got the crap kicked out of them by a mob for asking two little delinquent bitches to pick up litter.  That mob could quite easily have killed those two officers.

If that happened in Canada or the United States, those bitches would have been shot along with all their pissant friends.   Too bad those little fuckers didn’t get shot – they’ll probably end up in jail for robbing some old lady’s house or dealing drugs or some shyt.

We need to arm our police officers and arm them soon!
