Just started it last night actually...waited till I finished the Shane MacGowan book, and then kept forgetting to get it out of my car because I was driving (dare I say it) an SUV during the bit of snow and ice we had.
 
 BTW....MB ML series SUV...a fine example of crappie designing, you can tell it was after Chrysler got involved. [/b]
Good, I hope you like it. I have the sequel too.
 
 As for MB, SUV. People must really want a three pointed star on the driveway to get one of them. They always get terrible reviews. Wouldnt you have been better off in the toyoter...?

Yep Eros, that's the dude. He does that funny little arms flailing dance. He's one of those people you can't help but notice.

Well, I figured if some idiot was going to hit me during the bad conditions it may as well be a company car. Not being a big fan of SUV's in the first place I didn't care what I drove home, so let the other two decide and I took the leftover.....I might have to have an opinion next time because the other choices were Range Rover HSE and Landrover Disco.
 
 Observations on the ML430
 
 Heated seats burn your arse...way too hot even on the lower setting!
 
 Don't use the cup holder because you knock your cup out of it with your knee everytime you get into the bloody car, thanks to the placement of it.
 
 Rear wiper switch is in a totally different location of the car than the rear defrost switch! Why? Ask the stinking Germans.
 
 You can't send heat to the windshield and your feet at the same time, it's one or the other. Not good when your feet are freezing from being in the snow and the windshield is icing up from snow/freezing rain.
 
 Volume button for the radio is extremely convenient...FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER!
 
 Minor things admittedly...in a 67 MG. This tin can is supposed to be a luxury automobile for crying out loud.
 
 Must've been designed in Detroit because I can't believe the German engineers would've done it.

Well the range rovers have a much higher chance of breaking down. Perhaps you got the right vehicle afterall.
 
 As for the 430, is it the newer revised model with 1000 changes, none of which made any difference? I think the car was designed by the Germans, but it was back before the BMW x5 and there was very little competition back then.

I think the staph did something about him that night only because the standing on the head thing was a little dangerous to those nearby.  I also remember he smelled like he hadn't showered in at least a week.
 
 Everybody's got their own thing I guess..

Man's greatest achievement? Perhaps not, but can you afford not to read on when I am about to tell you about concert enjoyment? At one stage or another, every man woman or child will be faced with the issue of concert enjoyment. Indispensable to homosapians today, its influence on western cinema has not been given proper recognition. Crossing many cultural barriers it still draws remarks such as 'I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole' and 'i'd rather eat wasps' from global commercial enterprises, many of whom blame the influence of television. Though I would rather be in bed I will now examine the primary causes of concert enjoyment.
 
 Social Factors
 
 Society begins and ends with concert enjoyment. When Thucictholous said 'people only know one thing' [1] he must have been referning to concert enjoyment. Much has been said about the influence of the media on concert enjoyment. Observers claim it demonstrates a coherent approach, something so lacking in our culture, that it is not recognised by all.
 
 Did I mention how lovely concert enjoyment is? It breaks the mould, shattering man's misunderstanding of man.
 
 Economic Factors
 
 We no longer live in a world which barters 'I'll give you three cows for that hat, itâ??s lovely.' Our existance is a generation which cries 'Hat - $20.' We will begin by looking at the Lead-a-Duck-to-Water model of economics.
 
 Housing Prices
   <img src="http://radioworldwide.gospelcom.net/essaygenerator/images/graph_down_4.gif" alt=" - " />  
 Concert Enjoyment
 
 
 It is apparent from the graph that the influence of concert enjoyment is strong. What is the secret to its strength? Even a child could work out that housing prices cannot sustain this instability for long. A sharp down turn in middle class investment may lead to changes in the market.
 
 Political Factors
 
 Much of the writings of historians display the conquests of the most powerful nations over less powerful ones. Comparing the general view of politics held by the poor of the west with those of the east can be like comparing playing with a puppy and singing with a blackbird.
 
 It is always enlightening to consider the words of one of the great political analysts Aaron Skank 'A man must have his cake and eat it in order to justify his actions.' [2] Considered by many to be one of the 'Founding Fathers' of concert enjoyment, his words cannot be over-looked. It is a well known 'secret' that what prompted many politicians to first strive for power was concert enjoyment.
 
 Since the Renaissance concert enjoyment has become more and more prevalent. May it continue.
 Conclusion
 
 We can conclude that the concert enjoyment plays a large part in the lives of all. It questions, applauds greatness and statistically it's great.
 
 I will leave you with the words of Hollywood's Beyonce Travolta: 'It's been nice educating you.' [3]

I know exactly who you mean. Markie, he's that guy we saw at Iota on my birthday. Walkie and I actually got caught in a conversation with him when we were at the front for a show. He has a hilarious giggle of a laugh. But he's pretty harmless -though a little off mentally.
