Eish... should I plunge in with the fishes?

I just noticed my promotion...

It sure beats being a Slimy Mollusc... and to top it all Blogger wants me to test drive the new version of Blogger (in beta)... being more curious than a herd of cats and not one that is afraid to try out new things I may just do that this week... So... If you no longer see me I am away in the nether regions of Betavoid...

Update: 15h08
I am going to tweak the new layout by saving this one first then cut and paste it till it works properly.
The Beta has labels etc and some other nifty tricks I want to try so bear with me while I tinker under the hood...

By the way... Welcome to Groanin' Jock, he is new to the Blogosphere and has just started!

What's your favorite thing about Rockbrook...

my daughter being a Councellor, thats her on the right with the huge grin! From all reports she had a very busy time but enjoyed it immensly...
Talking of favourite things... She should be winging her way back to Sunny South Africa on 911... just in time for our next cold front! Some spring we are having... I think today's quote sums her time in the States up perfectley.

Hoodia thunk..

Hoodia Review This blog is full of horse manure... Seems like this is the next slimming scam to hit the world... last I heard is that Hoodia is only availabe from one legitimate source. Methinks there is a lot of other herbage being sold as the real thing?
I just want to say to all those trying to lose weight out there... "caveat emptor". By the way Google gives this when you type "Hoodia" - Results 1 - 10 of about 14,900,000 for hoodia. (0.15 seconds)... 14 Million references! Go figure... More hits than "Failure"...
As this plant is not as plentifull as one would imagine from all the sites selling it one has to conclude that there is some "substitution" going on. If the amount being sold on the web could be multiplied by a factor of 1 then there should not be any live specimens any more! I for one know that there are no truckloads full being shipped fromm the Kalahari desert so this is an awefull scam being perpetrated on the unsuspecting public.
Update: Some interesting info here that supports my theory...Feature articles on hoodia.
"The argument that making contraceptives available to young people would prevent teen pregnancies is ridiculous. That's like offering a cookbook as a cure to people who are trying to lose weight." Jerry Falwell (1933 - )

Crocodile tears...

Moonbat feminists and underachiever Germaine Greer has attacked Steve Irwin's achievements in a horrid way, so I want to know hagface, what have you done for the World lately? Quite frankly I would rather have 100 more Irwins than one more Greer... I for one will not be shedding any crocodile tears at her demise...
Prune juice anyone?

Beware the Wrath of a Kafir... a warning to Osama

Greetings Turbanface.
This is a warning. It has come to my attention that you or some of your fellow islamothugs wish to cause mayhem and havoc in the near future.
My sweet daughter is making use of public transport in her travels around the globe, this puts you all at grave risk!Let us make one thing very succinct. You and your mates had better plan on not harming one hair on her head because if you should so much cause a flutter of panic in her heart I will come a hunting and you do not want this mild mannered half Scot pissed off with you.You think the Yanks are mad at you! Wait till I get my hands on your puss filled bodies, you will wish that you had never sat in a madrassa getting your head filled with hatefull islamic bullshit, you will wish that your great great grandfather had accidentaly eunuched himself! I am not a subscriber to the Geneva convention nor do I believe in beating about the bush... I will MOER you, I will wipe you off the face of the planet, you and anyone that is even remotely related to you by the slenderest strand of DNA.
However... and this I doubt. If you were to see the light and error of your ways and decide to disown the religion of hate and disband your gangs of thugs... giving up all your weapons and recognising the right of the individual to worship the deity of choice and to have the freedoms that any human should enjoy I will spare you the indignities I would visit upon you if you should choose otherwise...
So... Turbanface... it is all up to you if you wish to live in peace or die in agony... Whatchagonnado?
Your Potential Nemesis

Yeah right... like this will work! - Pakistan 'Taleban' in peace deal

Pakistan 'Taleban' in peace deal This sounds like a sweet deal for Osama... even though Pakistan is backpedalling on this report... you know that "where there is smoke, there is fire" thing? I have always taken a dim view of Pakistan's efforts in the GWOT... half hearted is putting it lightly... Mark my words... this is still going to bite the anti terrorist forces in the butt...

Flat Taps!

Great racing fun! The sprinklers worked splendidly and now we know where we need to drop more water and where not to.
