Aaarg: CC banner ads are comin up g

BMC, and investment bankers, are now after me.

Humpf. I'm getting "vote for us" ads from two parties: CDU (Tory Lite) and Freie Wähler (Tories and then some) I wouldn't vote for either under any circumstances. Both are running in Stuttgart on a platform of "Too many traffic jams: build new roads" Yeah sure. And where are you planning to put them?

Pearl Izumi advertisements here, nice line of cycling clothing. I still have yet to be bombarded by political ads, municipal elections were earlier in the month here, but not particularly partisan.

On our Caravan site, quite a lot of the kids have electric powered 'scooters'. You can guess what's coming next...

The site have just banned them all ! All are 'illegal' for use on highways etc, so they have had to ban them as people are exceeding the 10mph site limit. I guess there will be a few angry parents, but these things can't legally be used in many places, and having seen the speed these things go, there is a risk of being hit by a car.

Amazing, how strong a dust devil can get at times.

Think the guarantee may have expired by now.

Sadly, we don't have the machine anyway.

I feel deprived.

The same weekend as Senna, a sad weekend for F1.

I feel deprived.

Unfortunately they don't do door-to-door canvassing here: I'd love to ask the local rep about some of their policies toward people with long term psychological issues, most specifically why it is that people with depression need to be forced into work by threats, whereas wealthy bankers and corporations have to get paid ever more to 'encourage' them (and can ignore rules with impunity).

A bit of trivia for you...

Roland's race engineer at Simtek was a chap called Humphrey Corbett.

Who was Paul Warwick's race engineer at Mansell Madgwick in 1991.

To have to go through the same heartache twice... I really feel for the guy.

I'm still getting Burton menswear. The new one is a weight loss thingy...

Right... Of to grab a spot of luncheon.

Poppy is fine BTW, back to her usual tortie tricks.

I sealed the bath this morning. I really hate sealant. It gets everywhere.

This is ironic behaviour from a substance intended to keep liquids under control.

Had my apprasal today, really pleased, all positive, a couple of objectives to achieve which are do-able so all good
