Communication Breakdown


All sorts of stuff seem to conspire to prevent me communicating with anybody.
That stuff is ...
College Work
and tiredness.
Some I have to concentrate it into bursts like this.
Here we go...
(ellipsis mmmmmmm)
Last week;
  • against all odds
  • competing against potentially billions of other competitors
  • in a game of skill
  • and intelligence
  • I won
A prize so valuable.


Cyrano D'nutjob
A Genuine Rubber Nose!


Today we went for a walk
Here's a slideshow as well.

I missed out that this medium itself conspires to frustrate my efforts to communicate.
Isn't this meant to be information and COMMUNICATION technology.
I've spent the last 2 hours trying to communicate.
It's too much hard work.
Here's some more stuff.

The Soft Machine, AC Cobras and Portable Stoves

Which sums up my day so far.
We went for a
walk.

Halfway 'round SURPRISE SURPRISE - a classic car show.
Well it was no surprise for me and I had warned S that we might happen upon it.

So no surprise to anyone really.

The star of the show, in fact on first perusal the only star, A real
AC Cobra.
If you don't know this car - you obviously have no interest in automobiles.
The greatest pure muscle car ever.
Body and chassis from some GB minor manufacturer.
Engine from Ford(USA) without any limit
Combined by
Caroll Shelby - nutcase genius.
This one however had a 6.3L Chevy engine - so a little suspect.
I wanted to lick this one - all gloss black'n'chrome.
The rest of the cars sucked so we had lunch and watched car geeks.
After lunch a cup of tea is favourite.
Now for that you really need boiling water - a flask don't cut it.
So here's a sub list inside the bag list
Stoves





This is a little beauty I've had for years, it's gas powered and will fit into your average pocket.
The blistered patina is a result of my refurbishment with "wrong" paint but I really like the effect.

Stuart Maconie is featuring The Soft Machine and associates in the
Freak Zone as Hugh Hopper has died.

However typical showboating by some rich weirdo druggie R&B singer dancer has obscured this sad event from public attention.
