At last! A British Team takes up triumph and goes racing. The new Daytona 600 will be raced by the established V & M team. Racing means more development and more exposure. Things are looking up for the Hinckley plant. 
More rocking cats, this time from Eyeenvision. Some good links on their site. Spear chucking for the beginner. A top little program to help fight the war on spamm - Mailwasher. Blues A round up of today's reports: The Guardian appears to be warming to us The Times praises both Bruce and the players, which is more than poor old Houllier gets! The Sun follows the other nationals when they say Blues deserved the win and the local press stand behind the team that bears the city's name! 23 February 2003
Joys and Sorrows  
YES! Blues win at last and against a team, at least on paper, that should have beaten us. Clemence got his first goal for nearly two years. A free kick taken by Robbie Savage saw Clemence, not the tallest of players, beat the red defence. In the a second half Clinton Morrison picked up a Stan Lazarids pass and made it 2-0. Owen got one back later on but Blues took all 3 points and widened the gap from the bottom 3. BBC Sport already has a report. The bad news was I couldn't make it. Mrs Kwacky has been suffering from some severe pains so I took her to the hospital this morning. They've carried out some tests and we should get the results in the middle of the week. Baby is fine by all accounts. Worrying though, not able to act, feeling helpess and as if it was all in the hands of someone else. Fingers crossed.

The Friday Five This week brough to you by Bluesy (I'll stick you in my link list at the bottom of the page mate, I promise!) 1 What is your favourite restaurant and why? The one I've used the most would be the Plaza on Ladypool Road. Traditional Indian food at top prices. Metro Bar has some very good food (the only place I can go to get good rabbit) but it's a bit OTT. 2 What fast food restaurant are you partial to? KFC. I've been known to spend ages getting myself all kitted up and gettingt he bike out, just to go for a KFC. Mrs Kwacky is a strict veggie so I don't go often. 3. What are your standards and rules for tipping? Tipping isn't compulsory. Good service = good tip. Be friendly but don't act like you're my best pal. Pay attention but don't hover. 4. Do you usually order an appetizer and/or dessert? Always kick off with a starter. I don't always have pudding. It depends how full I am and what's on the menu. 5. What do you usually like to drink at a restaurant? It's rare for me to drink booze when I'm eating. I usually stick to water or lime and soda or lassi if i'm eating Indian. I like to taste my food. P.S. Which American site did you nick these off? :-) As the good old U S of A continues to prepare for war, the public is being prepared for every eventuality. Paranoia sweeps through the land and with shit like this on the web, it's no wonder. Recent tragic events such as the fire in Rhode Island and the blast near New York have the theorists blaming anyone with dark hair and a moustache (good job Mowlem is almost bald!). No one is safe. Abdul will use any method to infiltrate the infidels. Trust no one and nothing. Employ stop and search tactics. Slow down your enemy If you buy it, make sure you go to the big mall in the sky in style. True American bikers can be sent off in style and make sure that the Hog your mates are referring to isn't your last squeeze. Many thanks to Squealy for this link. I think I'll pass it on to some co-workers just to be subtle. 18 February 2003
Tonight I'm going to talk about GUNS! That's right. I had to look up a piccie of an AK103 Assualt Rifle. Google did it's usual decent job and once I had found what I was looking for, I nosed around the search results when I came across this advert for a small fully automatic weapon, now know as "Personal Defence Weapons" !!! or "PDW's" in the trade. This MP5K provides an unmatched degree of personal firepower in a package small and light enough to be worn at all times. How comforting. You'll be pleased to hear that the MP5K has the capability to carry a laser mounted sight, which guides the gunman in the right direction, therefore reducing the risk of cutting down an innocent bystanders, or, as the article puts it "Mounting a laser aimer on the MP5K-PDW assures a high degree of first round hit probability and reduces the chance of firing errant rounds in the close proximity associated with protective details". I'll sleep well tonight! 16 February 2003
JohnSmith and the others are hard at work on the new look aardvark website., I suppose I'm going to have to give up this stuff when little Kwacky arrives (10 weeks and counting!). Best make the most of it while I can. Despite yesterday's peace marches (which went off peacefully) the Governement is still sticking steadfastly to its scaremongering campagn. We're now being told that "Al Qaida terrorists have a substantial presence in the UK" ""The threat is still high and we have still got an operation at Heathrow. What we do every day is analyse the threat and meet that threat with whatever resources necessary." [http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_751311.html?menu=news.latestheadlines] And? This country has always hosted terrorists whether it be with the blessing of Her Majesty's government or not. To be honest, there's not too much we can do about it, not as Joe Public. We're being asked to be "extra vigilant". How many terrorists wear "Bless me, for today I will become a Martyr" t-shirts? Imagine your local busy body reporting a suspected to the police? "Excuse me Mr CounterTerrorist Type Policeman, but went past this housethe other day, and I know that students rent it and that they are not white and they were playing "911 is a Joke" on their stereo. Well, that's when those attacks took place in America, and they're laughing at it. They must be terrorists". Can't see it working, can you? Maybe the powers that be are a little bit bored and want to be swamped with crank calls? Make them earn their money, e-mail and/or text your mates and include the following words:- Muslim (yes, this is a trigger word) Explosives (really, how dumb are these terrorists?) Fatwa (did you know this s a surname in many parts of the world?) Attack (oh please!) Martyr (let's hope Father Murphy hasn't laid his hands on Sister Fiona's mobile number) and many many more. Be good and if you can't be good make sure you ruin someone else's day :-D 15 February 2003

1/ What is your favourite sea food based dish ? I love seafood, so it's hard to choose. Good lobster I suppose, although I am partial to a good paella. 2/ What and where was the best boat ride you have ever enjoyed ? Erm, probably the one on the Orinocco (sp?) when we saw freshwater dolphins, fished for piranha, were tailed by a giant amazon otter and saw crocs sunbathing. 3/ What is the holiday destination you would most like to do that you have never yet got around to , maybe time or money ? Probably a tour of New Zealand 4/ If you could dive and see any sea creature / reef etc what would it be ? Saw some amazing stuff in Cuba. I would like to see sea horses I think. Very speical animals. 5/ If you could slap Tony Blair's face with any wet fish , what would it be and why ? The dead cod I found near Lime Regis. It was huge and it stank to high heaven! Well, here it is St Valentines day. I struggled this year. What do you get someone who is 7 months pregnant? I tok her out last night and we spent today together, just slobbing out and taking it easy. We had best make the most of it, only 10 weeks 'til drop day! Scarey shite. The Story of St Valentine Like other days of celebration within our culture, Valentine's Day has its origins in pagan times. In ancient Rome this feast day was know as Lupercalia, the "feast of Lupercus." Lupercus was the Roman god that protected them from wolves, which were a great danger in that area. The wolves, which lived in the woods that covered most of the land, would carry off the farmers' sheep and goats. Sometimes the farmers and their families were not even safe! Each year in the middle of February the Romans honored the god Lupercus, giving him thanks for protecting them from the wolves. The people feasted, danced and played games. When the young men wanted partners for the dancing and games, they drew names of girls from a bowl. Sometimes they became sweethearts, too. This went on for hundreds of years. When Christianity came to Rome, the Christian Romans put aside their belief in Lupercus, but because Lupercalia was a happy time, and they did not want to give it up, the feast of Lupercalia was replaced with the feast of St. Valentine. What is the story behind St. Valentine? Although Christianity had come to Rome, it was not accepted by the Roman Emperor Claudius II, who considered himself a god. Many times people were arrested and even killed for believing in Jesus instead of the Emperor. One year a young couple, Julius and Octavia, loved each other very much and wanted to get married. Since Julius was a soldier, and soldiers in that city were not allowed to get married, they decided to get married secretly. They went to a very kind priest who lived outside the city, Valentine. When Julius and Octavia arrived at Valentine's home, they found a beautiful flower garden. Valentine was surrounded by little children who were helping him with his plants and flowers. As the children left, Valentine gave each of them a bouquet of flowers to take with them. Some time later Valentine married Julius and Octavia, who were very happy to be married by a Christian priest. One day the children went to the garden to visit with Valentine. When they arrived they found the flowers trampled and the house empty. Valentine had been taken away to the jail because he was a Chrstian. However, due to his faith Valentine was not afraid The children decided to care for Valentine's garden. They knew that would make him happy. Every day some of the children would take him flowers from his garden. The jailor's blind daughter took the flowers into the jail and gave them to Valentine. The jailor's daughter was very kind to Valentine. Valentine was put to death for believing in God. He prayed and asked for the jailor's daughter to be cured of her blindness. She was healed! Before Valentine died, he wrote her a good-bye letter and signed it "From Your Valentine." Ever since then, February 14, the day Valentine died, became a day of celebrating. If you haven't got your other half anything, try this. Well, I got a bread maker. The first batch is in the oven as we speak/type. I'm just doing a normal bread for now until I get it right, then I'll try some different recipes. 07 February 2003
