Most of the pedestrian buttons on New York’s intersections aren’t connected to anything. traffic flow and lights have become so automated that throwing walkers’ demands into the mix would bring the city to a halt. I still press the button at pedestrian crossings, but even on a bad day the roads around Manchester could never get as busy as New York’s.

Women aren’t turned on in the same way as men and, indeed, their main sexual organ is their brain. Hell, I could have told you that.
To please a woman in bed, all a man has to do is a poetry course. They also have to learn that the Karma Sutra is not an Indian takeaway and that the mutual orgasm is not an insurance company.
There was a young lady from Luton,
Who liked to do it on her new futon……..
Er, no. Maybe not.
For Stepf. The SpongMonkeys, previously serenading the moon, have returned to tell us all about the joy of Quizno Subs. These are real adverts, according to Drew.
Oh, and check out the rude hedgehogs. NSFW.
There’s been a lot of fuss about The Passion of the Christ, Mel Gibson’s movie about the crucifixion of Jesus, but is it really just splatter cinema for fundamentalists?
Model Geek alert!
I know the Airfix renaissance has been going for a couple of years now, but I was particularly struck by it today as even more of their models had crowded onto the shelves.
The entry level kits are true pocket money models at only 4 quid. They may not be as detailed as some of the more exotic creations available today, but that’s not such a bad thing. And some of the subject matter is sometimes not made by anyone else- for instance, I haven’t seen the Matilda tank done by any other company. Dad will be pleased as well, the RAF Refuelling, Emergency and Recovery sets were great bases for kit bashing.
A few of the re-releases are already on my wish list (particularly the Vulcan), but what else should they produce? I want to see all their 1/32nd scale cars, the Bristol Bloodhound, the BV 141 that I’m currently building and all of their railway kits.
From the Don’t Mess With Mama Nature files: Stalin introduced giant Pacific crabs to the Barents Sea as a way to provide cheap and plentiful food for the Northwest Soviet Union. Everything seemed okay until some time in the nineties, when there was a huge population explosion. Now the voracious crustaceans are crawling South along the coast of Norway and eating everything in their path. Y’know, there could be a horror story in here somewhere.
(When I say that Stalin introduced the crabs to the Barents Sea, I don’t think he did it personally, “Giant Pacific Crab, meet the Barents Sea. Barents Sea, Giant Pacific Crab. I think you guys will get on swimmingly.”
I’m sure he had other people do it for him.)

I’ve been doing more Mary Tales pin-ups. What can I say, when I should be working my mind turns to naked women. I’ve always been easily distracted. Click on the image for a whole gallery of Mary pictures.
No Cycling on the Pavement this week. But I have an explanation.
Check out my Morality! 79% liberal, 21% conservative
That’s more conservative than I’d have thought. Maybe I shouldn’t have lied so much 😛
When you come to buy your new house, always ask about its past. You wouldn’t want to find out something awful by watching a TV documentary.
Parts of the child�s body were hidden under the floorboards; others were secreted in pot plants and a coffee jar. Some were never found.
The Vulva Puppet. Need I say more.
Not really NSFW, unless you click on the wrong link, but you can never be too careful.
It seems not even the reception work is safe, with the advent of the AI Receptionist. It looks like you will be making your own cups of tea from now on.
