hooray for the weekend


At last it's Saturday time to kick back and whittle some.

Been up early and into town, the parking situation in Lincoln sucks balls. If your not in town before 10am you end up driving around for ages looking for a space. Even when you've found a space you still need a second mortgage to pay the fee's. If you want to park for a long time it's cheaper to just abandon your car and buy a new one to go home.

I know all you tree huggers will say that high parking fee's are environmental and encourage public transport, but that's plums. All the money goes straight into the council coffers and none of it translates to a more effective public transport system. Also have you tried carrying 75Kg of laminate floor home on the bus. It nearly broke my 5 year old son's back.

Why Daniel Craig in the picture? I've just seen the newest trailer for Casino Royale it looks excellent. I know the nerds didn't fancy him as Bond but he comes across really well in the trailer. He's got that ruthless killer agent thing down pat. Much better than your grandad running around in a leopard print safari suit ala Roger Moore. No disrespect but after Live and Let Die the best thing on screen in the Moore films was usually the car or the girls.

You can see the trailer here

That's assuming it's not 2012 when your reading this and if it is, am I still around?

I suppose parking will always be a problem in a sprawling metropolis like Lincoln. Just wondering if it would be better for the environment for you to have more children and so ease the pain on the poor back of the lumberchild. I suppose you could go totally tree hugging and get ride of the car and replace it with a good little pony and cart. Ideal for shopping, just tie it up outside, great for th kids backs, fun for the children when they get home as well and of course transport to work when the kids are at school.

Didn't Liverpool do well, sorry could not help myself!!!! and still no mention of the proposed new stadium??? any comments from a loyal fan????

I'm thinking a guinea pig powered skate board type affair. I believe green-peace feel this has a better power to weight ratio and less gas emissions.

Here's a comment from a loyal fan,..............bugger!
