Confusion, Anarchy and Confrontation In The Sky: GonzoTech Has The Answer

Whether the current (and future) economic climate will actually demand an additional runway is, of course, a topic that is firmly off the agenda at this stage. At Heathrow, it's all systems GO!!! And what an upheaval there is too...










Hundreds of activists opposed to a third runway at Heathrow have staged a protest at Terminal 5. And it's no wonder. Not only is the environment at stake, but also an entire village. Sipson has not only the great misfortune to be placed bang in the middle of the proposed new runway, but the main exit road is to plough straight through an ancient graveyard, upsetting the living as well as the dead.




Now calm down. GonzoTech, as usual, has the answer. Not only that, but GonzoTech is proud to be able to kill several birds with one stone. All at the same time.





Here's the plan. We use the River Thames as the 'third runway', thus avoiding the necessity to destroy a village, whilst at the same time drastically improving commuting times to the City of London.





"That would be a dream come true!!!" an unknown source told GonzoTech today in overly-excited tones. "Not only could I be off the plane and in my office in less than ten minutes, but I could enjoy superb views of the London Skyline on the way."




Allegedly, we've been told by Airbus that they are working a more modern design as we speak, more suited to land on water. The updated A320 incorporates the novel idea of having wire mesh over the air intakes to the jets to prevent unauthorized entry by wildfowl. Pure Genius!




As if that wasn't enough (here at GonzoTech, it never is), we have liaised with the International Pilots Union to improve the ride. When the service is finally launched (the go-ahead for project is dependant on whether or not the end of the credit crunch will necessitate commuters to central London) passengers will be given the thrill of being flown under Tower Bridge, only moments before landing.


I just hope that stone of yours knocks out the birds before they actually go into the engine - ED

Marlboro World


Great news!!! Finally. In this day and age of mass redundancies, company closures, stockpiles of unsold cars. Unpaid mortgages. Entire streets for sale (remember the high street???). Entire streets for sales (empty, repossessed houses). Etc, etc. You get the deal.
Either that or you're a millionaire and don't have to worry about such trivia.
So what's new? Well, due to public demand, Philip Morris International are opening an all-new manufacturing plant in India. Think of all those new jobs!!! Thing of all the money!!! Think of all the TAX!!!
Let's not worry about any possible health implications right now. Even if there are any (who's interested in that?) that will come later.
Of course, we've got the World Health Organisation to thank for that one, but more on that later.

Shares in U.S banks fall 25%........Unemployment rising in the USA by 500,000 per month.... The world-wide recession deepens....


And now what what??? Well, the 'bottom has slipped from view' claims the Telegraph.


The media are starting to get to grips with this baby. Let's hope the world does the same.

The News of The World paid a dominatrix half of the £25,000 previously offered to make a secret film of Max Mosley's sex session because of the credit crunch, the Times reports.


Sex sells. For less.

Macro Foto



Most cameras have a macro facility somewhere. Of course, hardly anyone uses it. Why would they even be vaguely interested? "My camera works perfectly well as it is thanks. Now LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!"

Any attempt to politely show them (yes folks, showing is better than telling) does in vein, and may result in physical violence. Either that or a broken camera. Then you'll really be in the *hit.


But what of this macro baloney? It's there for a reason. Indeed it is.


You see, although your camera is taking perfectly reasonable photos 99.9% of the time (or even 100% of the time if you are a typical camera user), there are times when macro means business.


These two shots here, taken at night, not only focus in the near-field, but also the camera lights up the near field, therefore 'focusing' the best of your cameras abilities within say a ten inch range. You won't get charged extra for using it - so why not give it a bash???


For demonstration purposes, i have included a shot without macro, taken at the same time.

So there's me - eager to find out about this exciting new buzz-word that's recently been added to the 'social networking' agenda. These days, if the media are talking about social networking, they are likely to mention Facebook. They are also likely to mention two others. Myspace (which seems to be mentioned less and less. Is this the end for My space? or has it carved its own niche for things such as music, and err.. music. Myspace. The musicians portal. Great maybe, but if you're not a musician, would you go there??? I guess if you are looking out for a particular band, you might. But what if they are Facebook too? Are you more likely to go there??? Probably. So this is the end of Myspace. And this is also the longest piece ever to be written in brackets (or crucifixes or whatever they call them in America). Now I 'm in real trouble. See I opened another set of parenthesises inside another set - and that's always confusing. What do i do now??? (create another set maybe, if that's an option).... ))))).

Enough already. Twitter. As curiosity got the better of me (at the same time as the feeling of not wanting to sign up) I pecked my way over to YouTube (pecked being the style of typing used) and watched the demo.

Well, as if Facebook wasn't enough, i can now have access to a new world of even more feeble, mediocre and time wasting comments. My mate has missed the bus? I guess there are certain benefits to be had by not having too many friends.

Not A Big Lorry Blog


For some reason (my memory fails to alert me at present. Maybe it will come to me later), I wish to point out that this is NOT a Big Lorry Blog.

Now I've mentioned the subject, however, i feel compelled to show you exactly what I'm referring to.

I'm talking trucks. Big Rigs. 18wheelers, wagons and juggernauts.


England used to produce lorries (before they were called trucks). Here's proof. A 1998 Seddon Atkinson Strato. Gonzo Transport.
More more big lorries, be sure to visit http://www.roadtransport.com/blogs/big-lorry-blog/

What the heck, here's Hellzapoppin'!!!


"A compendium of chaos; a potpourri of pottiness; a veritable vestibule of...well anyway, you get the picture. It's a comedy classic in which Johnson and Olsen preside over the gags, wisecracks and mayhem. A projectionist (Howard) tries to run a film while arguing with his girlfriend, only to have the stars step out and remonstrate with him; a woman with a pot plant wanders in and out of scenes and there is some very odd business with a private eye."


It's been called Pythonesque, and perhaps that's the closest you'll get to an apt enough description.


And I finally added this to my DVD collection, courtesy of BitTorrent.
