Today I have realised that you don't have to believe in something for it to affect you. Just as nutjobs who don't believe in evolution did, nontheless, evolve from primates, whether they like it or not; Likewise, I have been smited by the wrath of Friday 13th today, regardless of not beliving in superstitions. I shall, however, be looking to improve the day's events from here on in, starting with high...

Understandably The sorting out of front room junk here has ground to a halt. Other more important things have taken it's place. One interesting thing it has shed light upon is the amount of crap I actually do now possess. Not big stuff, but little odds and ends, nik-naks and wot-not. A pink Mr greedy pencil cover, rat skull, an insulated 1/4 liter carabiner cup, 2 Lego motorcycles (with riders), a...

Years ago man looked upon a car and said "that's not long enough for me." It's been downhill ever since. With the help of our readers here's out list of the ten most obnoxious limo conversions . The line between awesome and obnoxious is a fine one, but these ten vehicles (and a bonus!) end up on the wrong side of it. We'll just take a long-wheelbase Executive Town Car, thanks.

Dedicated to That Southern black Gal... just because she will like this... One of my all time favorite rap songs... Salt N Pepa's "I desire", circa 1987. I loved this rap so much... So much so that my boyfriend at the time, Eli, who I just simply loved so much, recognized that it was MY song. He would pick me up from the train station every day after school in his maroon Ford Escort, and...

I’ve always found it slightly amazing, that every little thing we see has it’s own story to tell…Every person we see is going somewhere…Seeing someone…And they all have had different experiences. It just feels slightly unreal. Take for example, this picture, it’s of a 1994 Ford Mondeo. Who knows how many miles it’s done. It could be 50,000…Could be...

We suspect that this little gadget could entice some boy-racers to get a bit reckless, so we wouldn't recommend letting this into the hands of anyone but those with the cleanest of driving records.

70 but Not in a TRANSIT During the last couple of weeks I have seen and also been overtaken by Vans owned by two well known utility companies. This of course is perfectly ok and if they are driven safely, but the problem is they have stickers on the rear doors saying their maximum speed is 70mph . Whoever has been told to fix these stickers have been miss-informed , and may I just say are leaving the...

There be an olde English saying around these parts: Remember, remember the fifth of November Pat McGarry ran out of pot. Or something like that. It's more or less Bonfire Night today. It's one of two nights a year that the UK get to piss around with fireworks and invariably, someone dies as a result. Insane, I know, but it's good practice for nuclear fallout, which, here in York, we're pretty sure...
