January 2008

I was running out of petrol on the way to work today and it was getting very dicey. My car was losing power majorly and was jerking along.

I was desperately looking for somewhere - anywhere - I could get some of that sweet smelling nectar. A Safeway Petrol loomed around the corner.

Just as I was about to pull in, my car died. I use the remaining momentum to swing in and slot in next to the bowser. My car could not have gone 5 metres more.

Sometimes life is like that. I would have been pretty annoyed if it conked out 10 seconds earlier!

Well, it’s possible to put a positive spin on just about anything I guess. Ron Paul got 10% of the vote in Iowa but that doubled national front-runner Rudy Giuliani, so for him it’s a success.

It definitely makes Fox News look like idiots.
