I got sent this in an e-mail today, claiming that it was a picture of the car from the new Knightrider film.
It’s quite obviously a Koenigsegg CCX, since it’s basically a badly Photoshopped version of the first link you get by Google Image Searching for said car. And that got me thinking about what car they would use as the new Knightrider. My first thought was that it would either be a concept car or even specifically designed for the film, but then I got looking for an actual roadcar that they could use. I figured I should probably stick with Pontiac, since at least two of the other Knightriders have been Pontiacs, and then I looked at the sporty two seaters that they make. This pretty much left me with a 2006 Pontiac Solstice.
10 minutes of Potatochoppery later, and I had this:
Sadly, I’m actually quite pleased with it.

Can’t really say much more about this. It’s an Ostrich egg in a microwave, with spectacular results.

This time for toilet paper. Anyone who manages to spot every euphemism wins my eternal adulation.

I’m almost speechless that someone as talented as Zinedine Zidane could do something so utterly stupid.

However silly they look from the front, it seems like the Wimbledon line-judges are quite likely to look much sillier from the back, according to various news sources.
So, Wimbledon’s choice to use an outside (foreign) company for the first time in their long history has resulted in them becoming a bit of a laughing stock, not only because the clothes look daft (it’s been suggested that they could double up as Butlins uniforms), but because the clothes fall to bits after a few minutes of normal use.
I’m pretty sure they’d have done better to run a competition for UK Art and Design colleges to create and manufacture a new uniform, rather than pay an alleged $10 million dollars to an American company for shoddy products.

You’re all thinking that I’m posting a photo of a pretty female tennis player, and with my past form I’m not sure I can blame you.
However, the real reason I’ve posted the above image is to point out just how silly the uniform is that the Wimbledon line judges are being forced to wear at this year’s competition. For a start, I don’t care that the uniforms are designed by Ralph Lauren, they just look daft. I keep expecting them to break into song and perform as the chorus line in some cheesey West End musical. And secondly, just how annoying must those white trousers and caps be for the tennis players?
Anyway, I promise that’s (probably) the first and last time there will be two sports-related posts on here in a single day.

30 today. I’m sure I’m supposed to get all morose and depressed today, but I’m actually in a shockingly good mood.

I’m so glad we don’t have to put up with commentators like this in the UK.
