Flying to Lord-knows-where yesterday, a couple of items amused me on the plane...
Check out the story of the guy who had a wild boar on his scooter (he was taking it to meet a girly pig for a 'breeding session') who was killed when the sound of a horn sartled it, and the resulting wriggle made him lose control & crash...I guess you could say he died because having the horn (and sounding it) killed the moment of having the horn...if you get my drift (assuming the boar understood where he was going - maybe they had shown him a photo of his 'date'?)
And the big news here is the big APEC meeting of world leaders (well, Asia at least) who - naturally - don't want to choke to death on the pollution & smog shite, so to ensure no-one gets the wrong (real) inpression about China & Beijing, the government have already closed about 35% of local factories, and nearer the time, will half traffic by banning odd / even number number plates on alternate days! Simple as that!! The government throw the switch and turn on the winter heating soon (yes, they even control that!) but as much of it is coal-fired, there's no way it'll be going on until after the conference. Hope those attending bring warm jumpers!!!
Of course, when the visitors have all left, they won't give a toss & we'll all be back to choking & spluttering...
At my hotel this morning, I tried making a 'bacon' butty, but I can only assume the donating 'pig' had been fed on plastic bags - it tasted like one of those plastic trays you get at the chip shop.But I was pleased to see some ceral - I'm afraid the likes of 'Cornflakes' and 'Cheerios' were lost in translation - check out the names!!!
