Les Dunham Scorpion - I think.

 First bank holiday weekend in the caravan!  Good weather, awful traffic, epic ice cream, mediocre chips.  I had to join the Camping and Caravan Club to use this site - I don't like clubs, they are NOT COOL, but it was very nice and the cost pretty reasonable.  Monkeyboy was kept awake by our neighbours snoring.    Lulworth Cove  Corfe Castle; quite expensive and not much to see

Greatest car ever

Countach LP400, before the gross bodykits of the '80s ruined the shape.

Really Massive Engines

Monkeyboy and I went to see Star Trek Into Darkness last night, and it was just SUPER .

Home again

Got back home yesterday, I'm always glad to see the back of these projects.  I liked Canada though, certainly the best place I've been work-wise.  Came home on a Boeing 777, massive engines!

I made this

This is the kind of engineering excellence you can expect from somebody of my calibre (actually there was a problem with the server room, so this was just temporary, OK?) No, it's not really that tall.  I've not been up it, can't really be bothered and it's supposed to be quite expensive anyway.  I took this photo from one of the endless English pubs we keep ending up in (they're not at all English though).  Not been to Niagra Falls either - didn't want to go on a bus, couldn't really be bothered with hiring a car.  Coming home on Tuesday night so I've probably missed the opportunity now.

A Day Off

Went to the Royal Ontario museum today, spotted these along the way.  All police riders wear short sleeve shirts, and no armour.  This house reminded me of Pixar's "Up" Tastes even worse than it looks - even the pigeons (who are surprisingly polite, like everybody in Canada), won't eat these chips.
