Let's be Saudi Arabia's friend

Still the only place in the World that bans females from driving. Guess their car insurance is dirt cheap as they don't have any accidents now the danger is off the road.....

I haven't been in England for a number of years, but I guess the female only insurance companies still exist? Do you think there would be outrage by these feminist lesbos if I started a 'male only' company (or does one exist?)?

Dear God

"Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas" (MB 2009).

Let's hope a certain Michele Bachmann won't make it all the way to Presidency. Quite amazingly, her whole policy is based on the Bible, so basically we are all screwed. I love the summary that BBC has done:

In the for and against section, under 'against' includes:

Gay marriage
Obama healthcare plan
Environmental protection agency
Teaching of Evolution

So in other words, she hates people and is a bigot. I think it's so funny these people are supposedly all about family etc, aslong as it isn't at the expense of their own. How can you be against helping 'your fellow American', devising a healthcare plan that could help literally millions of people, just because the 'rich' will have to suck it up and pay some more tax? It's funny that the US is as third World as any country, with just under 44 million people in 'absolute poverty'. Think Mrs denial should look where she lives first.

Apparently she doesn't care about the planet or condition we live in either (guess it's too closely connected to factual science, so it must be destroyed!).

Remember people, Evolution never happened. We simply exist, straight off the bat, plonked here as an alien species on Earth, that is precisely why we don't have such things as variation in animal species etc (the millions if we include insects don't really count). Everything just existed, science is just a myth. Good one you muppet.

Also, apparently gay people aren't real people. Therefore, they shouldn't be treated as such. God doesn't allow two people who love each other to actually be together.

Let's see how many unintelligent, inbred locals will vote for this waste of space. Why oh why does the UK really want to be friends with these morons?! I say we befriend China......oh no wait, they eat dogs for lunch so better try somewhere else.

Just the best

Let's see Lady f*****g Gaga do this 'live':

Don't you just love the Aussies

You've probably all seen this, but I still laugh when I hear this:

Just to warn you

Being in the science field I often read basic (but massive) errors in reporting, especially by these god-awful tabloid wannabes such as Sky.

If you read any reports, just ignore them (things such as a map of Europe covered in red, where this 'deadly virus' has spread-as if to insinuate this is on a par with say WWII or the number of millions of people dying from HIV/AIDS for example) as they are very misleading.

Firstly the dumbass Sky report claims E.coli is a virus. Wrong. Not even close.

Secondly 'the origin is thought to be in vegetables'. Well two things profoundly wrong with that- the bacteria are found on the surface (that means 'outside' for any Sky reporters reading this) and lastly, even a monkey knows that a cucumber is not a vegetable, it's a fruit.

A mini random update

Nothing in particular, we have a 5 day weekend (you have to love the Swedes) so time to write something.

I should mention Johanna ran the Stockholm marathon last weekend in another personal best of 4hrs and 4mins. This was another 20 minute improvement over last year, so a congrats is in order. My entry was lost in the post......shame that. The whole thing was pretty motivating, so might enter next year. My problem is well, running sucks. Especially as the Stockholm marathon is 'early' in the year meaning you have to train during the warm Swedish winter......that's my problem. However I have managed to pull my finger out of my butthole and do some running already. Take yesterday for example, I ran almost 20 km in 25 degree heat, on my todd and was great.....until I stopped.

Now I can't walk, not because my chicken legs didn't hold up, but I have a sharp pain in my right foot, meaning something isn't right! If it wasn't for all these setbacks I would unquestionably put all my effort into running and just get on with it. But in two words, I can't. I managed to run a 10km event last week, was a crap course and too many people so my halfway split was 23 mins something, which is basically pants. As I put the afterburners on, I ran the second half in 20 something mins and ended up with 43.42, so not too bad. My target is under 40, so I know I can do a second half split of around 20mins, meaning providing my body works it's more than achievable, and for me, that would be a great target.

I will (hopefully, barring injury) enter the Stockholm half marathon in September, where last year I ran 1hr 4omins with jack-all training (as in no running at all, I kid you not), BUT my body really did fall apart because it couldn't handle it, I suffered bad ITBS and my recovery was still affecting me up to only a couple of months ago. That seems fixed now, but other things pop up. Ok, so I sound like I'm moaning about everything and I know almost everyone is never 100%, but it's always a mental blow.

In summary, I suck, Johanna did well.

Completely unrelated, good result for England the other day, haha. The excuse? 'The players were tired'.....I'd be tired if I got paid 100k a week TO TRAIN!! What are these clowns on?! Too tired?! It is hard to do a mixture of mostly walking, light jogging and some running for 90 mins. Ha, what a joke!!

I watched the BBC thing online about the 4 year old girl who had an art exhibition with 9 pieces, selling up to 9 grand a piece or something like that. I love the mothers comments and from others. 'She's special in that she knows exactly what she is doing!!''Her paintings are balanced' 'She's already developed a style that is hers''It's abstract expressionism...but she's also a surrealist'...........hahahaha. What the f**k?!? You give me a four year old and some paint, are they going to splatter the crap out of the paper or neatly draw lovely straight lines, add delicate shadows etc....what the hell?! How stupid are these art people?! My 1 year old dog could do the same, just dip his paws in paint and away we go- now 'I have a dog who's a surrealist, very abstract art'......yes, he walked over some paper, pissed and shit on it to add 'texture' and now it will only cost you 10 grand to have it fester on your wall.

Well let's talk about fun stuff like the weather....it's hot. End of that topic. Next? As a well timed reward for Johanna's marathon antics, she has gone to Lisbon with her mum until today (well tonight) actually. Nope, I didn't get an invite, haha. I did wish them rain, which was probably mean, so I took it back. But I'm pretty sure its been better here anyway (since last Thursday), so am not jealous, especially as they are closer to those Spanish cucumbers (yes I know they actually think it was from beansprouts in Germany, but my joke still stands!)!!

I watched the Hangover II last week. If you haven't seen it (I actually went to the cinema, how good is that?!), basically it's exactly the same as the first, which is no bad thing in my opinion. So don't expect the unexpected, it really is incredibly similar, but if it works, why fix it?

Anything else? Well no, not really. My little reptiles have been making a porno, just humping a lot, so will be expecting eggs in a few weeks. If you are interesting in crested geckos, let me know : ) They have advantages over the dog, for example their shit doesn't stink, you don't need a dustbin bag to pick it up, they don't lick their bits then try to lick your face, they don't need walking, they are quiet in the day and they don't role around in everything when they get wet.

Not that I don't love our little hormonal, hairy bear of a dog........
