FDA goes to the bitch that left her dog...

in a car this week. I mean woman have you not seen what happens when you leave a kid or dog in closed car in our broiling sun?
"Hoare said the woman apparently thought the dog would have crawled into the shade below the seat."
What was she thinking! Aparrently all she was worried about was getting to her personal trainer in time...

Update... this was posted on the wrong date but meant for Friday... so I have bumped the date to Friday.

Someone needs to understand FIFO

Australia's most senior Muslim cleric has prompted an uproar by saying that some women are attracting sexual assault by the way they dress.
What a complete idiot... these islamic retards need to be ejected from any modern society... send them back to the country they came from as they are clearly not ready to enter the 21'st century...

Why did he ever go to Oz in the first place? What does he contribute to the wellbeing of the population in general? I totally agree with the following;
Federal Sex Discrimination Commissioner Pru Goward said the comments could be an incitement to crime.
"Young Muslim men who now rape women can cite this in court, can quote this man... their leader in court," she told Australian media.
She added that the cleric should be deported for inciting rape.

I say send him back on the first freighter leaving for the land of the umma...

Definitions...

McBlogger has a cool definition for Net or Sys Admin's... Bunker Gnomes! I love it... They are the modern version of the BOFH... Hey I better shaddup... I am also one!
"Definition of a Bunker Gnome: The crew of men and/or women that work somewhere on this base and monitor all incoming and outgoing email and internet activity. They also are in charge what gets filtered through and what doesn’t, who gets internet connectivity and email, and who doesn’t, and when they will or will not receive it. They are without a doubt, THE most unpopular people on the planet, right up there with other controlling and narcissistic tyrants such as Saddam Hussein and my 7th grade spelling teacher."

Feeding the ego or trashing the kitchen?

Blogger Layouts Customization is quite tricky, I am playing with my recipe blog (title link) at present to learn all the features and potential problems before embarking on a conversion here... There are only 12 postings so far. I already have "lost" my neat title grapics... sigh. I will get them back when I learn to get the kinks out of my template, the niche to put them in must be there somewhere!
If you want to use the "Label" function it seems one has to "convert" to the new customised layout..

One often has to make a choice and this one was dicey at best... but we made it. I just hope this skewed load reached it's destination!

Crunchy critters

Mmmm... that was a yummy flying ant... We have been having a lot of thunderstorms the last week and all these fat crunchy ants go flying about at sunset... such tasty morsels... Greedy Amber of course had to many... and the Man was not impressed at her deposit on the bathroom mat... at least she tried not to mess...

Getting ready for the christmas rush...




Snapped these two open topped Volvo double deckers on their way from Durban to Cape Town. They are for a sightseeing company that will use them over the coming Christamas season... they should be well run in after the 2000 odd km trip. I am plumb tuckered out myself even as a passenger it is no fun doing 800 odd kilos in one day and almost a full day's work!

Contentedly saving my content...

with spammers and other miscreants creeps out to deface and delete websites I have been wondering how to save my blog content to my PC. Blogger has one way but I found that using my trusty html editor Araneae I could save all the basic posts to one file. This does not save all the pictures though but seeing as I have 99% on disc already this is not a big issue. One can always Save Picture As any ones that you do not have on disc.
I was quite chuffed with my quick and dirty backup when I tried it... the only caveat is to set the amount of posts to more than you have posted, this is done in Settings/Formatting/Show, in your blog settings. Remember to make a note of this setting (usually 10) before attempting this then save the settings.

Then view the blog, in File you should see Edit With Araneae, oh before I forget... you will first have to download and install Araneae before doing this... I suppose if you have another HTML editor set up you could do the same. Araneae is very simple and I find it easier than most and better than Notepad for HTML. Back to the howto... load the blog in the editor and when it is done you can Save As to anywhere you like on your PC... easy huh?
Green = Blog Settings.
Black = Windows command Buttons or shortcuts.

Note to self... label yer postings asap and make a sidebar insert...

Tuesday Twit('s) - Aspiring muslim commits web rage...

What is it with them? Even aspiring muslims seem to be prone to violence... and they call it a religion of peace?
"The pair met in an internet chatroom called Yahoo, Islam 10 as both had an interest in the Muslim faith, the Old Bailey was told."
