Car wreckage and a £50,000 pint come to Manchester
People in Manchester were be exposed to two very different consequences of drink driving by Greater Manchester Police this week. The wreckage of a car whose owner was killed in drink driving crash went on display at the University of Manchester, alongside a pint worth £50,000 – the personal financial cost of a conviction.
The £50,000 pint, displayed behind velvet ropes and housed in a protective glass case, represents the personal financial cost of drink-driving, calculated for the first time by the Institute of Advanced Motorists. The calculation reflects the fines, legal costs, rise in insurance premiums and possible job losses faced by those who are convicted.
The wreckage, known as the Think! Car, was owned by a 21-year-old man who lost control of his car on his way home and hit a tree, sadly killing him.
The activity was part of the University ‘Wellbeing Week’ and involved police conducting on the spot breathalyser tests and handing out free ‘scratchcards’, as well as activity highlighting the dangers posed to cyclists and bikers straying into the blind spots of HGVs and buses.
Inspector Matt Bailey-Smith from Greater Manchester Police said: "Drink driving ruins lives. It can cost motorists their family, job and worse still their life or that of somebody else.
"Many people do not think of the consequences of driving under the influence of alcohol until it is too late and police are committed to tackling this issue so that we can make the roads of Greater Manchester a safer place to be.
"If you are planning on driving then the safest choice you can make is to avoid alcohol all together, and if you see somebody else attempting to drink and drive then make sure you stop them. It could be the difference between life and death."
Road Safety Minister Stephen Hammond said:
“It might only look like a humble pint of beer, but it could end up costing much more than a few quid – in fact it comes with an eye-watering hidden cost if it pushes you over the limit.
“Most people know not to drink and drive but a small number still do, which is why we are highlighting the consequences of a drink drive conviction through our THINK! campaign.
“Anyone thinking of drinking and driving should be without any doubt – if you are caught driving over the limit you will face a heavy court fine and lose your licence – you could even go to prison.”

The Thinker (French: Le Penseur) is a bronze sculpture by Auguste Rodin, usually placed on a stone pedestal. The work shows a nude male figure of over life-size sitting on a rock with his chin resting on one hand as though deep in thought, and is often used as an image to represent philosophy. There are about 28 full size castings, in which the figure is about 186 centimetres (73 in) high, though not all were made during Rodin's lifetime and under his supervision, as well as various other versions, several in plaster, studies, and posthumous castings, in a range of sizes. Rodin first conceived the figure as part of another work in 1880, but the first of the familiar monumental bronze castings did not appear until 1904.

Everyone should think green a bit more often. Go on, think green. Check out this Green Hairstreak and think green.
At Denbies I watched this female egg laying, then pausing to rest, then egg laying again. Back in May.

The Blacktron forces have started to use and deploy think tanks. While expensive, they are far easier to program and to get them to do what you want them to do vs. pilots, needed for manning more traditional mechs lacking an autonomous AI.
I think even Rodney and Del Boy would have turned their noses up at a Reliant Regal Super Van as heavily modified and outrageous looking as this! The Hot Wheels Poppa Wheelie is quite the head turner though maybe not for the right reasons, a plastic van body which has undoubtably being unofficially based on a Reliant Supervan perched on top of a huge pair of wheels pointing skywards. So dreadful its actually addictive! ;-p

There are things to learn in every activity if you do the activity in a way that you wouldn't normally do it. For instance, writing with your right hand wouldn't normally teach you very much but writing with your left hand, after a bit of practice, would yield ambidexterity!
In much the same way, I want this picture of me cooking naked to be about learning and thinking differently. At first I was very uncomfortable with the idea. I did not want to be seen naked in a more public area of the house. Compromise: wear an apron. Good. But what if somebody sees me?! Concentrate on cooking! In the end, this activity was more enjoyable for me because there was an added twist. Like dying your hair blond or like trying a new type of drink. But there is also something to be gained when pushing your limits beyond your comfort zone. Like skydiving, like going to school in a different country, or like taking an art course with sexually explicit material...or just by cooking naked. This is my idea of pushing my limits, and learning from it.
I think this was actually a post-woof face, (she wanted me to throw a toy!) still it sort of looks like Rosie was smiling for the camera :) She was very cute, very expressive and very polite too - carefully and very deliberately sharing stick and ball throwing duties between all three of us humans, gazing up at the chosen person expectantly, so they couldn't ignore the hint! Most BCs I've met are much less considerate - they pick the "best" thrower and target them exclusively, unceremoniously firing the slower/less efficient throwers - Barney for example knows I'm often a bit slow to throw a toy (too busy taking photos!), so if we're out with my friend Natalie, he dumps me and presents her with toys instead - she's much quicker off the mark!! Yes, it was nice to meet a collie who has manners :)
I think she might have been a little happier if it had been just me who'd come to visit her... After all she could utilise an extra human companion as a ball thrower, whereas Barney was simply competition! They got on fine but there was a bit complaining from both when the other dog reached the toy first and on a number of occasions they practically ran each other over - to their mutual horror... Having said that, in some ways (when they weren't annoying each other!), they made a good team - Rosie won't swim but Barney will and Barney rarely retrieves sticks properly but Rosie not only retrieves them, she finds them too. So when sticks were chucked in deeper parts of the river, Barney would swim out and fetch it back to the shallower region near the bank, where he'd promptly lose interest and drop it. At that point, Rosie, who'd been watching on the sidelines, would wade out, search around for it and bring it back to us to throw again!
Tribute band to Pink Floyd. Seen at The Light's Andover Hants. Absolutely brilliant tribute band in being the best one ive ever seen.If you get a chance and you love pink floyd you must go and see. Nick Mason of PF fame raves about them himself, so must be good. Tracks from all the years that they were going so something for everybody
I'm assuming that this huge horse is a clydesdale, right where it should be about 100m from the river clyde, it was taller than me anyway, and I'm 6"3. We agreed on exchanging a photo for a peppermint and everyone was happy.

I think I chose wisely with this one. Very nice. It's a little loose without a SmartCover...but I always use a SmartCover.
