Be Excellent To Each Other

Indeed, a Land Rover-based Tomcat. Richard Hammond raced a jet-powered canoe in one on Top Gear, if you saw that episode.

You're actually richer than God, aren't you?

Aewesome looking machine, mind. How many man hours do they reckon to build it? And is Sam big enough to help yet?

That looks cool. Paint it in a leopard print pattern - that would look awesome.

Nice Grim... I'm sure you'll have lots of fun KILLING THE PLANET you BASTARD. Seriously looks like it should be loads of fun, unless you're crap at building things in which case it will probably be your fiery death-trap.

I'm also happy today because it's been confirmed that this thing is coming to my local skatepark:




No too happy that I'll probably end up having to help put it back together again though.

Oh where's that going? Is Woody taking down the Manny pad/Ramp in the middle?

No, the bit outside that has a roof but no sides is getting sides and it's going in there.

No more 5-a-sides or Car boots! That sucks.

I know. Anyway you should come skating again, the nice bloke in the cafe has been asking after you.

Probably want's his rubber fist back.

I'll get it cleaned up.

It's going to cost about £4 grand max. Man-hours: not a clue.

Lots, I reckon. Caterham kits take skilled mechanics 70-100 hours to put together and they are practically made when you buy them -- all wiring harnesses and brake lines etc are in the chassis. You're really just bolting bits on.

Eh? Really? How so? That's insanely cheap. Is it made from paper?

You have to start with a doner Land Rover mind.

It's just a roll-cage with a fiberglass body fitted onto a 100" Land Rover rolling chassis.
60 hours, reckon.

Oh, so it's made from lamb bits then.

Oh. That's a lot less cheap, then, if you have to supply the Land Rover 100, engine etc.

Do you have all the tools to do it? I guess it needs a bit more than a allen key and a mallet.

If Grim... proceeds to post here all the stuff he's been telling me in IM about the garage he can get access to, people are going to be sick. Richer than GOD HIMSELF indeed.

Mines arrived today , its £12.93 for the eggbox version or £14.93 for the pally one

And I'm not allowed to. The contents and location of that garage are rather secret, and if you saw what was in it, you'd know why.

Grim..., have you just got back by bus from Turin?

The real world is suddenly GTA4.

Hahaha yeah. Actually we've got Maddie in there.

If anyone wants to buy the tyres I want for my Birthday, just get in touch

They're £180

Each

£10 on Gaywood waking up next to a horses head.

That's an average Sunday morning, isn't it?

"Oooooh, my head. What on earth did I do last night?"

"Neigh!"

"Damn. Oooh, what a lovely chin."

In a stunning celebrity spot, I've just seen the actress who plays the ditzy blonde in My Family getting on a number 46 bus in Camden. Beat that!

Touching.

I like Fern on the right there. I don't like Holly (is it Holly?) on the left. I have both those colour DSs.

Facts. Concise, no waffle.

BANNED!

Fern is good friends with my friend Nev, so she is bestest.

Indeed!

Holly is acebest. She's capable of making type things I would never say to people in real life. She is lovely.

Mimi, get Fern to arrange a date for me and Holly and I'll forgive you.

I'll ask Nev to get right on it!
















Nev says: No, no, no, no!

Hoorah I've found a use for the comedy keyboard and mouse that came with my Mac Pro.

The new Macbook Pro gets so hot when editing that it's just better to use the little wireless keyboard. I don't need it for full typing, just keyboard commands so it's ideal.

I'm using the mouse as well, although I still find that a chore. But I wanted to give it a second chance, + despite this being a machine that cost over a grand, Apple have been stingy with the USB ports.

Well I've not been doing that badly this week. Phone chats with a "dragon" and a meeting today with two dancers from Strictly Come Dancing (I don't watch the show so don't ask for details as I simply don't know).

D'oh!!

A good friend of mine met Fern and did indeed agree she was awesome.

Who?

Fearne Cotton.

Nev's friend.

Crikey.

What is it about women in red dresses and me?

You're up early, Mimi, what's the plan for today?

Score!

I just bought a 360 Premium, 4 months old with three games for £75. And no, it isn't stolen or anything.

Beat that!

Are the games Burnin' Rubber, Switchblade and Pang by any chance? If so there is something we need to tell you about your new 360............

Outted!

I'm usually up at about 8, Mali Today I am making more DS cases and I am going to make a new design that is in my head.

Also, my whole family have decided to descend on Lancaster (my two little brothers by invite, my big brother by some kind of pleading self-invite, so there's that to sort out (Richard, the elder brother, seems to have gotten a job up here, details are a bit sketchy to say the least) Hummmm, and I need to clean and tidy up, too.

What about you Mali? A more interesting day than me?

Am awaiting herself to rise and shine, although the appearance at 11pm with a wony smile and a bag of chips amused me. Then, tidy garden and garage, sort through sunglasses that need to be sent to Oakley for fixing, might do some GTA4, but aside from that, enjoying the sun. And trying to get a mate to come up and visit, but they are being crap over it.

My brother will come and visit you if you want a house guest

We haven't seen te return of the sun today, though we had a good long thunderstorm last night so the air is a bit clearer.

My back is still hurting and its been over a week now, if this keeps up much longer I'll have to go to the docs, and I almost never go to the doctor.

MY toe is still swollen from the other week.

My plan for the day originally consisted of working, but thanks to being woken up by a mini-earthquake* last night, I'm now sleepless for the second night running and am currently wandering my flat like Stubbs the Zombie.

* the fuckwits upstairs walking** around their flat at 1am, drunk as skunks. The walls in my bedroom were shaking, there's something wrong when that happens.

** stomping, it's like they're constantly wearing military boots or something
