Dear So and So: Road Rage Edition

Written by UrbanVox 2 Comments

20111209-101218.jpg

It’s not the best of ideas to cross me in the morning before I have my 1st coffee o the day when I am in my best morning mood… When I am late for my son’s 1st Ukulele concert 72 miles away is DEFINITELLY NOT the best time to crosse me (or stay on my way for all that Matters).

Road Rage was unavoidable!!!

So… Here we go!

Dear Alarm clock,

You are fired!!!!

Yours
Daddy late for Ukelele concert
———————————–
Dear young lady that was driving a silver Micra at 20mph in a 50mph limit zone just because you HAD to gossip o. The mobile,

Feck off!!!!! Hung up!!! Drive!!! Nuff said!!!

Yours,

The guy that honked at you after 10 minutes stuck behind you.
———————
Dear old lady holding the traffic in Bean at 10mph,

Get off the fracking road!!! 8am is NOT the best time for you to be driving at those insane speeds… People have to get to places (I.e. work or Ukelele concerts far far away)… If you are not in a hurry to get anywhere PLEASE wait until AFTER rush hour to go out,

Yours,
Annoyed guy 2 cars behind you
——————–
Dear stupid biker at the M25,

If you see a car coming on the fast lane at 80mph (okay… Maybe a little more… But I was late and my kids are my world… That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it!!!) where did I stop? Ah yeah… If you see a car coming fast on The fast lane you don’t slowly pull over in front of lt… The next guys brake might not be working as well as mine… Btw… Thank you very much for making me slam the foot on the brakes and always get hit by the BMW that was coming hot behind me… You twat!!!!

By they should invest the money spent in the “think biker” campaign into one that teaches bikers to stop being idiots!

And yes… I will honk at you AGAIN if you do it again!!!

Yours,
Road rage fuelled driver you flopped the finger at
———————
Dear fast lane hogger,

While I’m at it… There is a reason why the fast lane is called fast lane… Go be a slow coach in one of the other 3 lanes available to you!!!

Yours,
The guy flashing lights at you on the M25… Or one of them really….
——————————
Dear Porsche driver on the A3,

What’s the poi t on having a roadster if you are not going to drive it like one??? I reeeeeeeeally don’t see the point….

Yours
Amused little me
—————————-
Dear yummy mummies,

When are you going to learn how to park your huge landrovers an BMW, and Audi 4×4 monsters???
Seriously….

Yours truly… And still a little scared of you…
Tommy’s Dad (that’s actually my cool daddy nickname with Big Monkey’s school friends)
————————————-
Dear Vic,

Yeah… I did drive 72miles in just over 45min… Why so surprised?!?!? ;-)

I did tell you I’ll always be there. :-)

Giggly,
Your ex husband
—————————–
Dear Big Monkey,

I am so very incredibly proud of you!!!
Not bad at all, specially as you only practiced 1 hour/week for 7 weeks… Your concert was awesome!!!!
Just try not to yawn in the middle of it next time! ;-)

Love you more than the distance to infinite +1 and back,

Daddy

Going Off The Grid

Written by UrbanVox 2 Comments

We’re dropping off the the face of the earth in a couple of hours for a whole weekend without technology in an undisclosed location. Well… not really… We’re both taking laptops, cameras, mobiles and 2 Mobile Internet Dongles, but we have a deal… they get stashed away for most of the time (apart from the cameras) and we are not using any social network for the 48hours we are spending away.

I can’t begin to tell you how I’m looking forward to it…

God knows how much I’ve been needing to get away from life for a while… And yeah… The romantic get-away is also much needed after all we’ve been through for the past couple of months.

I Can’t also begin to tell how difficult it will be as well…

Why??

Well… Where do I begin?!?!

I’m constantly attached to my iPhone and constantly checking emails, facebook, twitter, sms, the works…

Hales is glued to her Blackberry more often than not checking the same stuff (plus BBN) and suffers of a serious case of Blackberryitus.

So… going off the grid should be interesting!  lol…

See you Sunday night… if we don’t get snowed under… :)

Actually… I’m taking bets as to how long she’ll manage not to log into any social network… any takers??? ;)

Logging Off!

There’s an App for that too…

Written by UrbanVox 4 Comments

I am not an Apple fan… Hell I am even reconsidering if the iMonster was the worst choice in phones I’ve ever done… Sure it is funky and fashionable and has that “there is an app for that” for everything really… but there are other BETTER phones on the market.

So WHY ON EARTH do I so desperately NEED to have an iPad???

The worst thing is that I don’t really need one… you see… we have a household ratio of 2 computers per person here (I’ve got 2 desktops that I use for work… yup I NEED BOTH of them… seriously… ) 2 laptops (one of which TB’s been claiming as his own since the old one he inherited from me decided it wanted to RIP… he chose the tiny one I take everywhere because it fits everywhere And apparently it is TB sized), 2 iphones (not computers… but face it… you can do all the important things with them like checking emails, blogging, watching TV… playing games… and they have infinitely more computer power than the Apollo 11, let’s not forget that!!)

There is no doubt about that… I am a gadget addict and I am trying to convince myself that I don’t need another toy… it is kinda like trying yo convince TB that he doesn’t need any more LEGO.

So what if it has a high-resolution, 9.7-inch LED-backlit IPS display on iPad is remarkably crisp and vivid. Which makes it perfect for web browsing, watching movies, or viewing photos and it features a display technology called IPS (in-plane switching), it has a wide, 178° viewing angle. So you can hold it almost any way you want and still get a brilliant picture, with excellent color and contrast.

And What if it has the world famous Multi-Touch screen based on the same revolutionarytechnology on iPhone.The technology has been completely reengineered for the larger iPad surface, making it extremely precise and responsive. So whether you’re zooming in on a map, flicking through your photos, or deleting an email, iPad responds with incredible accuracy. And it does just what you want it to.

What if one of the first things you’ll notice about iPad is how thin and light it is. The screen is 9.7 inches measured diagonally. So overall, it’s slightly smaller than a magazine. At just 1.5 pounds and 0.5 inch thin, you can take it anywhere. And a slight curve to the back makes it easy to pick up and comfortable to hold.

And What about the 10 hour Battery Life and wi-fi and 3G connections or the powerful speakers and Ubber performance of the new Apple A4 processor with a choice of 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB of flash storage,giving you lots of room for your photos, movies, music, apps, and more.

And what about all those funky accessories.

WHO NEEDS ALL THAT?????

I DO!!! I neeeeeed it *pouts like a toddler wanting a toy he saw on a display*

Come on people I am trying to justify why I should have an iPad…. any ideas??? HELP!!!

Random Thoughts About The White Stuff

Written by UrbanVox 6 Comments

Snow that is… :)

Recorded on the iMonster on the way back from school run this morning… but don’t expect any coherent line of thought… cold froze my brainzzz! LOL

But seriously… what is it about snow that makes grown men behave like children? Makes you smile and laugh with strangers (some guy fell on his ass on the snow and was laughing sitting on the floor… he looked at me and said: “That’s all I needed today: a wet frozen ass!” and went back to laughing…

and I laughed too… :)

Felt like throwing myself on de snow and making an angel while recording the video… then I thought better… too coooooold! hehehe

You enjoying the snow????

zya!
