Told by Elton John of his gold Aston Martin
Oh, it’s you that owns that ghastly car - we often see it when driving to Windsor Castle

Look, I know there is a revolution going on and and everything but this is really big news: there is an Arrested Development Documentary and here is the trailer for it.
This is a few years old but it’s an absolute classic Bill Bailey song.
As my old mate used to say, this is a bit spooky. Move your mouse between the buttons on either side of the portrait.
Well, I don’t really know much about motorcycles, but these single cylinder machines from a new company called Mac Motorcycles certainly look nice.
And before you ask, no this has nothing to do with Mac the computers from Apple. In fact the main reason I am posting this is that Mac Motorcycles is based in Worcestershire, not too far from here. So not only do they make cool looking bikes and have a very nice website, but they are also local.
It is good to see someone starting a venture like this.
From the BBC:
Presidential candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi has vowed to review laws that discriminate against women in Iran if he wins an upcoming election.
Watched by his wife, Zahra Rahnavard, Mr Mousavi told an audience of female supporters in Tehran: “We should reform laws that are unfair to women.”
Patrols of so-called “morality police” regularly enforce standards of Islamic dress on Iran’s streets.
I just don’t get why such a big deal is made about compulsory Hijab wearing when there are so many other egregious violations women’s rights in Iran. Don’t get me wrong - I am all for easing of these ridiculous restrictions and the disbanding of the gangs that enforce it. It just seems to me that for Iranian women, compulsory Hijab would be the least of their problem.
Having said that, I suppose not being harassed by state sponsored Gobshites would be an improvement to anyone’s life, so what do I know.
I can assure any concerned parties that contrary to the lyrics, Matt is not in possession of a fire arm chambered for .44 Magnum, even though I haven’t seen him in months.
Well, at least he is putting his time to excellent use.
Wired have posted a very comprehensive and in depth review of Optek’s guitar learning system which uses a modified guitar and a gaggle of powerful software to teach users how to play.
Optek’s innovative approach to musical education is two-pronged. It’s most recognizable component is its specially designed FretLight guitar. Throughout the training process, unmistakable visual cues are provided through a series of – wait for it – “fret lights” mounted beneath the guitar’s fingerboard. These lights react to instructions from the second component of the system. Its companion software package is a unique set of applications and training exercises designed to teach everything from guitar tuning to music theory.
Interesting video posted a while back about a cafe in Morocco set up by a guy from Britain.
We are still going to Morocco, right?
You could easily imagine the above quotation originating from some kind of Middle Eastern sexual instruction manual, that is if it were possible to imagine such a thing to begin with.
As it happens, it is actually from a Franco era text handed out to hapless Spanish women by the Falange group. Many people of Middle Eastern origin would draw comfort from the fact that 40 years ago, such things made Spain look almost as bad their society do now. It isn’t much of a consolation to me.
Here is another pearl of wisdom:
When the culminating moment arrives, a small whimper on your part is sufficient to indicate any pleasure that might have been experienced.
