This has just totally made my day.

Speedboats, American muscle cars, crazy driving in a double decker bus, crazy driving in some really big trucks, and as beckstar2 pointed out, that does indeed look a lot like the Bugatti Veyron on the track! YES! I AM SO EXCITED ( Read more... )

I have an assignment for one of my English courses and it's rather interesting. It's to create and maintain a blog of a ficticious character quite unlike yourself for a whole week. My character is an English teenager (both of which I am not) that's a bit emo and a whole lot sarcastic, and very musically inclined, again, none of which I am. Well, I ( Read more... )

I am so bloody ill and so bloody tired of it. Last night I had major chills and had a bath at midnight to try to warm myself up, and then at 1:30 threw up what little I had eaten after dinner (TMI, I know, but it was pretty much just a cup of tea, really), which woke up my housemate, and then I lay wide awake coughing and generally feeling sorry ( Read more... )

Jeremy Clarkson Injured in Another Top Gear Car CrashBefore anyone starts panicking at the headline, it says he's okay. I don't understand how and/or why he was driving head-on into another car while filming. Surely they wouldn't do some stunt like that on purpose? There was that time all three of them drove into a wall in rubbish cars but that's ( Read more... )

Well, summer's officially over. Today was my first day of my last year of my undergraduate degree (I would say 'of university', but I intend to go for my masters) and it was pretty easy. I didn't start until noon, and just had a lecture and a screening. The film, though, was basically, as one of the guys sitting near me loudly put it, an hour and a ( Read more... )

BT actually came through with their promise so we have internet! Woohoo!

Lots has been going on in the last week but it's 10am on a Saturday morning and I don't feel like going over it all because it wasn't that interesting anyway.

I saw this article yesterday and it made me think that Robert Downey Jr. is a bit of an arrogant SOB. Guy Ritchie's ( Read more... )

Well, sort of. I'm back at school but we don't have internet at our house yet so I haven't had a chance to catch up with my f'list. BT is even more rubbish than expected and just can't get anything right, so if we do have internet by midnight tomorrow night as promised I will be amazed ( Read more... )

We had scads of problems with BT last year, and we've been waiting for internet at our student house for about two weeks and they still haven't finished larking about and so it still isn't set up. It's supposed to be done before Friday, but it would have been really nice if it had been done before I got there tomorrow! BT, you are rubbish. You were ( Read more... )

Right. Following an LJ-comment conversation with capra_maritimus, I started thinking about what would be in my dream garage. I know this month's TG magazine tried to guess at the Stig's so please steal this meme and show me your dream garage! I mean, there are Top Gear fans out there that watch the show for the cars as well as the presenters and the epic races ( Read more... )

Today was my last day of work at the store. It was sort of bittersweet, but at least I'll be back at Christmas! On my way home I went through the drive-through at Starbucks (for a London Fog, of course. Mmmm.) and watched a Ferrari F430 Spyder come down the next road. In my sleepy little town of all places. I actually did a double take and thought ( Read more... )
