Car love overboard?

This happened a few days ago and it was a conversation among 4 people that I never expected.
These was how it went...

A: My car is my baby.
B: So is mine, it's everything to me.

A: Do you have a name for your car?
Me & another guy (C): WHAT??!!??
B (male): Of course, I named my car Howard. My car is a guy.
A (female): My car is Ronald, he is a guy too. Male cars are definitely easier to drive.

Me: Are you guys serious??
A&B: Yeah! don't you name your car? It has feelings too you know.
Me: I have never heard that. A car is a car and I had a car which I drove every single day for years but it is still just known as my car.

A&B said to each other: Hey, our cars are parked next to each other, they are making friends now.

I looked at C.

C: I have friends who name their cars too but not me.
A: It's logical to name your car, you are with it all the time.
Me: Doesn't make sense to me.
C: Do you name your toothbrush? your toilet seat? your bed? you are with those all the time too and more than you car.
A&B: It's different!

Me thinking : It's that really different?

A said to B : Do you sometimes talk to you car too.
B: No, that's too much!
A: Well. ok. I'm stopping this. Probably freaking you guys out.
Me: Why do you talk to your car?
A: Well, sometimes in a traffic jam and it's just us. I talked to my car.
Me: Well, that's just a one sided conversation. Weird!
A: No, he replies.

This is getting weirder and weirder.
Enough said.

Priceless moments

One of the joys of having to travel as part of your job is that you sometimes go to unusual places and might even chance upon unusual scenes or moments. This is one of them.

This was a video I took recently when I was relaxing at a local pub at the outer parts of NSW. The man who is playing the tambourine vigorously is 78 years old. His energy and flexibility is just amazing. Although he might be waking up the following day with a sore body.

Random Ingenious Slogans

It's great to come across funny, witty or sometimes just corny slogans at the most unusual places and spots when we run around in our daily lives. I saw these two when I was travelling away at work last work and they just made me laugh!

Saw this at a gourmet shop at the cheese section. How true! Although this does apply to wine too.

Travelling along the highway on the way home. Now the car really doesn't look that ancient but it still is funny!

Nutrient Water

With our the level of consumerism in many advanced countries, you also tend to be hit with an onslaught of a variety of choices for any given item. The world of health, energy and sports drinks is already really huge but beverage manufacturers be it giants or family business is still constantly coming out with new inventions or even just new packaging and marketing ideas to entice the weary consumers of us who tire of the old really quickly.

This is a health drink that came onto the market recently and I was having a look at it when a friend of mine bought it to drink. There are several choices and this one is made of cranberry and grapefruits with Vitamins A,B,C,D and E included.

Now I know that you are meant to drink it as how you would with any drinks. Imagine my surprise when reading the instructions here that it instructs you to "APPLY LIBERALLY" for fast effective relief from other beverages. Wow! That is something new, a drink that is meant to be applied onto the skin rather than be sliding down your throat. What would they think of next?

Pumpkin Land??

It was a typical working day and I went out to grab some lunch in Chatswood when I saw this...


If you look at the destination sign on the bus, it says "Pumpkin bus"!
I wonder how Pumpkin Land looks like....
For anyone who is interested, please board Bus No. 130....any takers?
