Vehicle transport news - a satirical view
Despite huge investment in public transport (3 new buses and a coat of paint on the London to Edinburgh express), the news about the vehicle transport situation in the UK doesn't make for good reading.
Car traffic congestion is at an all-time high, and in London, the average speed of all motorised vehicles is the same now as it was 100 years ago. Ouch.
The full vehicle transport news story is here.
Merry Christmas and be safe and healthy on the roads - there's an exhaust -filled smog cloud coming to a street somewhere near you.
I gleaned some information for this post from PhuckPolitics. He is a MyBlogLog blogger and friend of Ed. As you can imagine, I need friends, so why not join my MyBlogLog community. I used to do a small feature called MBL Sunday - my way of thanking bloggers for visiting my site. It (the feature) isn't revving up any time soon, but there is an old archive as evidence of a blog resumé wizard at work!
cheers

Recession -a perfect setting for Scrooge this Christmas!
Gather round, it's Christmas, and Scrooge is in his element.
If you threw out your TV to save money and you haven't been keeping up with the news, hello, the recession is deepening.
Don't worry, though, it isn't all bad for everyone! In fact, unlike many of us turkeys caught out by the swift demise of the economy, Scrooge is one gentleman actually looking forward to Christmas. He has many reasons to be cheerful.
1 - Unlike the credit-crunched populace, Scrooge is not reliant on financial melt-down plastic to pay for groceries.
2 - Unlike the banking system, Scrooge is liquid.
3 - Unlike the banks, Scrooge also has a sharp eye for a financial opportunity. The penny-pinching tight ass is rubbing his grubby mitts together in gleeful anticipation of the chance to spend his hard hoarded cash. Reward indeed for being penny wise when everyone else was dollar / euro /pound foolish.read more

Despite Pacquaio v La Hoya, boxing is in trouble. Bring on the girls.
Many Pacquiao vs Oscar De La Hoya may be a big sell out fight, but in general, boxing as a spectator sport is in trouble. The days of crowd-pulling Ali v Foreman contests are over, attendances are dropping, TV revenue is falling, and blockbuster household star names are becoming increasingly thin on the ground. In fact the main claim to fame for boxing today is its influence on underwear - the humble shorts.
Genteel folk say thank goodness that such a barbaric sport (with more federations than fighters) is going downhill fast. Now there is an opportunity to sit back and watch some really noble and civilised entertainment - like girls fighting on Youtube and extreme fighters beating the holy crap out of each other, no holds barred.

Tobacco, Tabaco and salsa
Tobbaco is a universal product, but an impromptu web search took me on a crazy route to enlightenment about tobacco alternatives
