Many lunatics seem to fly Greyhound, but I’m glad that particular loon didn’t get on the bus. Imagine drawing the short straw and having sit next to her?

Vietnamese Weasel Coffee
Oct 28th, 2009 by PaPa in The Outer Limits
As the cost of buying the coffee is so high, if you’re considering developing a weasel coffee habit, we think that it would probably be cheaper to actually go to Vietnam, find a weasel and wait for it to poo – then wash, dry and grind the results for a nice brew up.
Winter Rabbiting
Oct 27th, 2009 by PaPa in The Outer Limits
It is certainly the time of year that many of us consider going abroad to escape the sudden gloom. And it is quite sudden; at the drop of a hat we have our clocks turned back and we start leaving work in the dark. Winter is here, and we should all go into hibernation. Like [...]
Visit Norwich They Said
Oct 26th, 2009 by PaPa in The Outer Limits
So I did, took the missus to King Edward VII, 35 quid bargain, widescreen TV, breakfast included. Went out and saw the sights, came back. Metallica tribute band starts cranking out the hits RIGHT UNDERNEATH BED. No sleep, sounds like the band is in the room. Encore, one more they say. And they do, twice.
Nice [...]
New Houses On The Aussie Coast
Oct 23rd, 2009 by PaPa in The Outer Limits
It’s true, Oz is turning into a dustbowl and no matter how many houses they build, they’re no good if you don’t have any water. What we need is to dig two holes between Australia and the UK; one carrying moisture from Britain, and the other carry sunbeams from Australia.

With over 3 million citizens, it’s no wonder that there were so many of these events going on. I was hired as a waiter-come-servile person, handing out Champagne and dishing out vol au vants to fat businessmen – and some slinky businesswomen. The tips we got were great and we certainly got to eat well – there was so much wastage at these events!
Orange Car Green Frog
Oct 21st, 2009 by PaPa in The Outer Limits
If there’s one place you need a car, it’s gotta be Australia. It’s just such an unfeasibly large place. A Dutch friend of mine and I decided to get a car and drive down from Cairns to Sydney. We bought the car in Cairns: it wasn’t exactly a Roll Royce, it wasn’t even a used [...]

Escape Vehicles
Oct 19th, 2009 by PaPa in The Outer Limits
Getaway vehicles of every kind,
Help me escape from out of my mind,
To get on one I am resigned,
Such marvellous pieces of product design.
Oh what a joy to get on a bus,
Avoiding all the blustery gusts,
Getting to the airport is a must,
Opon a vehicle you can surely trust.
Lifting up, it’s never the same,
Istanbul, Greece, France or Spain,
Escape into [...]
