It is a good tool though. It showed me all the sites that were talking about us, and I could go have a look to see what they were saying. I searched dreamraven as well. Needless to say, i think I talk too much. lol.

Aah. I had a car like that. You could literally feel the road beneath you, and in the area I live in, the roads are either really bad and full of potholes, or dirt roads. (I'm quite a way out of town).

A lot of people around here have more than one car though. One for everyday, and one to go out on Sunday drives with. That MG is gorgeous though. (sigh) I would find reasons to go driving in it. Even if it wasn't Sunday

Why would you feel that though? Some say that some cars drive differently. And if I had to look at Jeremy and the gang from top gear, I would believe it. Maybe it was the handling or steering? lol (Forgive the stupid Q though, I'm not that mechanically inclined).

Not bored yet I watch top gear here religiously, and not just because of their antics.

"Hawaiian" good luck sign I think that's the best name its ever been called.

I did a little Google image search... That is a gorgeous car. I'm just a tad jealous atm.

lol at first I thought I broke it I got a lot of stuff that wasn't about the company similar names. But low and behold, darn near choked on my coffee when I saw it. We are being talked about. Not bad for a new campaign I'd say.

I just did a keyword search. Either I am the only one in my niche with a blog, or I am high on caffeine Every single one of my blog posts are mentioned first....

how does this tool really work?

I do it more for therapy nowdays. To keep my skill honed. I could build a new PC from scratch fully loaded in under 10 minutes(without the OS install of course lol darn windows). Need to keep the dust off my toolbox I guess. just think it's a waste having an A+ and not using it

lol I'm all eyes...

If you think about it, its all over the place, not just in the UK. You guys just took a bit longer for it all to hit the fan. Here, in the beginning, you had to be able to prove you were poor before you could pay less school fees to get government to help you. I think you still have to actually. Things are changing though, slowly but surely, where people are creating new "benefits" for people. But in the end they don't realize that all they are doing is making sure that these people don't go out to look for work or try further themselves, because the government takes care of them. If you think about it, in a job, you could be fired at any time, and you're left with nothing, which makes a monthly grant seem like no work for money, and its always given to you on time, for nada.

I left school in 94, my matriculation completed, dreaming about what I could become. Lawyer, programmer etc. and it was all just that. A dream. I felt bad about it, I was upset, angry.. but I made other arrangements. I worked where I could, did my job the best way I knew how and just kept at it. Now, I have two brilliant girls, way ahead of their time in comparison to kids their own age, and I am scared. They have the same high expectations, and I am scared that they won't be able to accomplish them yet. Bless the internet though. I have learnt so much already just by working and reading and studying day and night, that I can show them where they can actually make their dreams come true.

In a way, I can seriously relate to they way these people feel. I had a bad background, and my upbringing because of that might have been a complete flip to what it was if I had been left with my real parent, but where it was meant to confuse me, scare me, and just generally make me into someone that shouldn't give a hoot, it turned me into the person I am now. I saw two different life spectrum's, and benefited from learning from each of them.

People being given something, constantly, become lazy. They become accustomed to that way of doing things and it molds itself into their personalities. "Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach him to fish and feed him for a lifetime" (I think...).

It still rings true today, and I believe that its not just the government that needs to see this. People need to take responsibility and teach their children to work hard for what they want. To learn from their daily lives instead of living it.

The way I see things is that everyone is responsible for their own fate, their own actions and decisions. Sitting back and finding an excuse, blaming everyone imaginable for something you decided to do is wrong IMO. People that come from broken homes, homes that have either one or no parents, people that had very minimal opportunities etc. it's just not an excuse.

Instead of following the general populous like a sheep, you should make a conscious decision to make the best out of what you have and keep at it when all seems lost. You don't have to be a delinquent just because everyone else in your situation is, or because someone in your family was the same way and it seems to be the only way to get results. I had to make those same decisions and to be honest, if I had to redo it all, I would do the same thing all over. My past and my background made me stronger and a better person. The exact opposite of what I could have become, and knowing I made those decisions makes me feel better about myself as a person.

People can sit back and pass the blame to everything and anything they could possibly think of, but in the end it still boils down to one thing; they made their decision and need to deal with the consequences of it all.

Maybe, instead of trying to make things better for everyone to avoid violence, they should focus on teaching people to be headstrong and make decisions that can benefit them instead of harming them.

I hope you guys all stay safe until everything calms down.

hmmm, my iPhone, the components that I built my PC from My games, and my laptop bag. It's not easy carrying a 40 cm laptop around with me. My games are there to relax me, and for that I need my custom built pc (she's not out of this world, but she works beautifully) without her I wouldn't be able to render my 3D morphs, my artwork, or work on my own landscapes, and my iPhone?, well it is an iPhone.. nuff said. lol
