MERCURIAL QUALITIES

No matter how good your Trade Me search settings are the chances of one of these popping up on your watch list are pretty slim.

Easily one of the most beautiful cars ever designed it has been re worked, re designed and re released.

Apparently 8 are being allocated to New Zealand and all have been pre sold at an average of $450 000.00 each.

Personally speaking I like their old stuff so much better.

INCEPTION

inception-header 2

I went to Inception last night. I thought the movie was good, an interesting premise and visually compelling.

For me, personally, the highlight was seeing the main characters dressed in suits at all times. I especially liked the fact that they wore suit and tie when travelling on a plane. For too long I have felt that the general standard of dress whilst flying has been too low.

Yes flying can be mildly uncomfortable but that's no excuse to wear track pants or even worse (as happened to me on a flight to London once) your pyjamas!

The person sittting next to me got up after we had taken off and went to the toilets and returned in his jim jams.

God knows what else he did under his travel blanket. Now that's a dream you don't want to be privy too.

TITS UP

great tit

It’s fair to say that my marital history is punctuated with number of ups and downs.

I am pleased to say that I am (now) on good terms with my first (ex) wife but even I was surprised when she asked me if I would consider “helping out” i.e. assisting financially with her Boob Job.

My initial reply was; what’s in it for me? 

Obviously I am no longer privy to said breasts and although I found the idea intriguing there wasn't really an upside. Since then though I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time thinking about it and have drawn a number of comparisons:

Imagine you separate with someone and 13 years later they telephone you and say;

“Remember that couch we bought when we got married, the one you used to love sitting on?”

“Well it needs recovering and given that a lot of the damage to the upholstery was caused by you I was wondering if you’d like to contribute to getting it recovered”

“Oh and you’ve got no input into what colour the new upholstery will be and once it’s done you’re welcome to look at it but you can’t sit on it”

For the record I said no.

I’m sure I’ll be doing some re upholstering of my own any time soon and my current furniture is very comfortable.
