Troubles come in 3's? My arse do they...
by Abaddon inon saturday, whilst in the uk seeing my kids (i live in holland) i got a call from my girlfriend who had just aqua-planned 100m and whacked into two cars.
fortunately she was fine other than the shock of it, and so was everyone else, just minor damage.
she got everything sorted out and we had a opel vectra as a loaner; as my normal car is a polo, this was good.

SIlver Ring Thing in the UK - doomed to failure
by Abaddon ini've seen coverage of this band of celibates before.
they're one of the groups spearheading abstinance-based sex 'education' in the usa.. despite not one shred of proof that it works in reducing teen pregnancy or std infection rates, this is the flavour of the month under the bush administration.. in tv coverage i heard one of the councillers telling teenagers that condoms could not prevent the transmission of virus particles.
if the abstinance-based idea is such a good thing, i wonder why they have to misinform people?.

Speed Limits
by Abaddon ini had to drive about 600km (370 miles) to hamburg and back again yesterday on business.. for those of you that don't know, large parts of the german network of autobahns (freeways) have no speed limit.. of course, those who say german's don't have a sense of humour won't have though in detail about having a network of two-lane dual carriageways with no speed limit.
a very funny idea.. it was still a pretty good average speed (about 135km/h, 83mph) for the part of the journey in germany, and we , but as i got up to 220km/h (135mph) at various points and cruised over 160km/h (100mph) a lot, if they'd been a third lane it would have been a lot higher.
one side effect is once you are back down to normal highway speeds (120km/h) it feels like you're doing 50k/mh.
