Cup Of Coffee

I appreciate that this isn’t Windows Mobile related, however I had to stop and give this email from long-time reader Russell Beuken the publicity it deserves. He states… “On May 13th 2006, my brother and his best mate were killed by a drink driver. Earlier this year the driver in question received two 4-year sentences [...]

When we were in Florida we popped into some very posh restaurants for our evening meal. One in particular was Pizza Hut, but I was a tad confused by this particular offering…. Surely no-one is going to order this ? “Just the right combination of toppings” ? Eugh..

OK, we’re back. It seems that yet again that our US server knows just when I step onto a plane, because it fell over on Friday yet again and we we’re off-line. Sorry about this, there wasn’t much I could do about it We’ve got loads of stuff coming your way over the next few [...]

We’re at Orlando airport right now waiting for our plane. It’s very, very, very delayed and – instead of spending the afternoon in the heat of Florida – we’re sat in the International Departures lounge looking at a screen telling us just how late we’ll be. There’s several problems here. Firstly, I won’t make it [...]

So I promised you more on the driving I did last week at Daytona International Superspeedway. As I’m now sat by the pool I can tell you a bit more about it. The whole day was handled by the Richard Petty Driving Experience and we’d called them up a few weeks back to organise it [...]

We saw these people yesterday whilst on a trip around Kennedy Space Centre. Before I talk about them (and the fact that they took two seats each on the coach) I must mention Kennedy itself. The whole place is amazing, and it was interesting to see how many countries went into building the Space Station [...]

So here we are, once again, sat by the pool. It’s the first real day of laziness today following a week of sight seeing. The first few days here were especially hectic and within minutes we found that the hotel was overbooked. We got shifted to another similar hotel a few yards down International Drive, [...]

Following on from all the Nascar references last week I can now reveal what they were for. We’re in Florida at the moment on holiday and yesterday we travelled to Daytona. After some training and safety stuff I was let loose in a real Nascar racer ! I don’t have too much time to tell [...]

Good old Paris Hilton. You’ve got to admire her stupidity. After being banned from driving she decided to get behind the wheel again because she “was told” that she could still use the car “for work”. Errrrmmm… no chick, no you can’t. Click here for the full story and then have a look at her [...]

My last blog post mentioned the Will Farrell film “Talladega Nights“. It’s a movie revolving around Nascar racing from the good ‘ole US of A. Some of you may have seen this – if not, get it recorded on late-night channel Five or Five US. Sure, some may not be huge fans of this sport [...]
