Beware the cows from Cowes...

50FT COW SLIP PERIL
This is so funny it writes itself... "I turned round and this cow was hurtling down the cliff. It landed where my board had been and if it had hit me it would have been the end of me too."

At least it was not this Cow from Cowes... borrowed from breakingwaves' photos! The cow in question was actually a bull calf or steaks in making... now it is just plain mincemeat. So... next time you are on a beach beneath a cliff... have your hard hat on as well!
The only song I can think of that goes with this posting is from the Foo Fighters! Called appropriatly...
For All The Cows: Album; Foo Fighters - Nov 21, 1995

Im called a cow
Im not about
To blow it now
For all the cows

Its funny how money allows all to browse
And be endowed
This wish is true it falls into peaces new
The cow is you

My kind has all run out, as if kinds could blend
Some time if time allows, everthing worn in
Like its a friend

I said youre all a painted doll and it caused
The walls to fall
How far is he? impatiently
Thats as far as far can be
Cowabunga! Here's to bungee jumping cattle!
"I could dance with you until the cows come home. On second thought I'd rather dance with the cows until you come home. " Groucho Marx (1890 - 1977)

This is sacrelige! Proposed ban on buying a round in pub!

Executive is now trying to ban buying a round in pub. This has got many a Scott up in arms... not that they have much left... guns are banned and recently swords and Claymores too... now this!
I abhorr the Nannyfication of Western society, we are no longer allowed to think or act for ourselves... if this is what Freedom is going to be like in the future give me La Revolucion any day... who wants to live in such a boring existince? This is in effect a form of subjugation, insidious and permeating the whole fabric of Europe at the moment. What seems to be the effect is totally opposite from what the Politicians aim for... the lawless use these laws and restrictions to carry on business as usual.

I love Sub Commanders... They don't have time for bullshit...

Words uttered by a president that would not surrender, before hearing the plans for the Doolittle Raid. (Pearl Harbour was on the telly today...)
What we need today is a Doolittle raid of some kind to cut the hordes at the gates down to size... To me it seems too many want to placate the enemy and rather be so called Politically Correct in the hopes that they will not target their patch of this planet... The Israelis tried but failed due to lack of a certain brand of fortitude on the part of many of their political and some military leaders... the grunts on the ground however wanted to do the job! Salute to them!
Sorry to bust your PC bubble folks but these people want Total Global Domination by hook or by crook... and they will use our laws against us... they will use our freedoms to murder us... until there is no law or freedom anymore!
Why not go and visit Patrick al-Kafir... link on the top... or...Misha at;

Weekend at Barnie's...

Brian Lundmark has some brilliant Cartoons and has graciously allowed bloggers to publish his stuff so here goes! The Rockwood strip is now a part of the Blue Dot Empire!
The link goes to one of his best in my opinion... Thanks Brian!
For some reason Blogger is not publishing pics so you will have to take a peek yourself...

One of us...

One of the captured Israeli soldiers, Ehud Goldwasser hails from Durban! That I did not know.
HT to Patrick and Adrian!
This is something that should get out to the MSM!

Friday's Dumbass Award goes to...

Our esteemed Minister of Health, Manto and her traveling AID's show... presently flaunting their wacky AID's aids in Toronto. Clicking on the link wil reveal the whole sordid story... Chapter and Verse... or is that the Mercedes Benz...
Sometimes I even have to agree with the UN...
"The government has a lot to atone for, and I am of the opinion they will never achieve redemption," and "It is not my job to be silenced by a government when I know what it is doing is wrong, immoral and indefensible," said Stephen Lewis, United Nations special envoy to Africa.
Hear hear I say.

The Power of Pink... or who knew?

Yep... Spring is trying it's best to arrive and the Prunus outside the flat is a blaze of pink... Or as it is known; Prunus cerasifera Nigra - Purple Leaf Flowering Plum Tree.


We have not really had the traditional August winds and dust yet... maybe they will stay away this year?

Pink is a colour I always associate with spring and two singers...
Pink (aka Alecia Moore) and South African singer Marloe Scott-Wilson or Mandi Heyns in real life... I bet not many knew that! Other SA music trivia is that Jennifer Jones is her daughter... We keep it in the family here in South Africa! For some shocking (pink) name facts of SA singers check out Real Names R Us. One not on the list is Gene Rockwell (Gert Smit)... Nou ja nou weet julle!
So without further ado I will exit with the lyrics from Pink and her latest hit... Who Knew! a Fitting song title to this theme no?

You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That's right

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them up
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I'd give anything

When someone said count your blessings now
For they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Yeah yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew
My darling
My darling
Who knew
My darling
I miss you
My darling
Who knew
Who knew


This is a great song and I love the lyrics... seeng we are talking aboutt knowing and trees amongst other things ponder this:
"Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence."

Mud flood threatens Java residents

Mud flood threatens Java residents This is something that no one seemed to have bargained for, I also realize someone has to bear the brunt of the locals displeasure but sometimes nature bites back... at least it did not trigger a volcano!

An Uri can jump...

Conceived in the desert of Namibia and built to be as rugged as the country that birthed it, is the Uri utility vehicle, great for any off road mission you plan.

The whole underside and body is sprayed with polyurethane to make it both rustproof and water proof.

Something that is needed when you use it for fishing trips along the Namib with it's salty air.
These great bakkies are now also being built in Pretoria.
The basic versions used to be only 2x4... and can usually go anywhere a 4x4 goes! It is all in the ultralight design and suspension set up. The newer 4x4 versions go where Unimogs fear to tread!

Weep for the children of Israel!

Hezbolla is already celebrating a victory while Israeli troops gain more ground before the ceacefire today...

I for one was certain the IDF was up to the job, however the political leaders were not.
The UN resolution 1701 will not bring peace as hoped nor bring back the kidnapped troops.
This war will be replayed shortly with even more casualties due to Western and Israeli politicians not being up to the job to fight the war against islamic terror...
Churchill summed it up thus;

"How the English-speaking peoples,through their unwisdom, carelessness and good nature allowed the wicked to rearm."
It is strange that it is mainly the English speaking peoples that are leading the WOT, albeit not with the vigour it needs... yes we are allowing a wicked part of the Hydra to rearm and recuperate... and the whole world will pay for this error. I also think that the replay/repayment will be not in months or years but weeks, just this gut feelling I have, I seriously hope I am wrong.
This quote from the Bulldog sums up my feelings on the matter and this is what I thought was the idea behind the Israeli push into Lebanon a month ago but alas I have been proven incorrect;
"One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half."

Update: 15:31
Oh, by the way... this is MY blog... so go flog yourself Ahmedinajad, you islamic scum... get your own blog to publish links to islamic crap sites! For your information I have and still do study your so called prophet of doom's writings and the more I read the more I realise he was a peadophilic peice of shit!
