SCC

Today, I have been mainly a journalist for Eureka Online Innovations Magazine…shh. As such, I gained exclusive access to MOD Thorney Island to witness a trial of the SSC [steam car challenge] aiming to set the land speed record for a steam powered CAR!!
The driver was Sir Malcolm Campbell's grandson - Donald Wales. He really WASN'T [or wasn’t] going to reveal what medical procedure he’d had recently. I interjected with rather journalistic [getting right into character I thought] tenacity when, in reply to requests from the Daily Mail man for him to smile more for the camera, he declared that he was dosed on pain killers. Not even the T/PR girl knew - but luckily the relatively green project manager forgot to pack the spare
thermocouples [bi-metallic temperature sensors]. As a consequence I awoke from my nap to miss the briefing [typical] informing the journalists that they had a wasted trip from London.
I, however, had not. I had to go into Emsworth anyway to deliver some books. I have also firmed up a vision for the future of [not steam turbines so much as] EXTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES. Steam engines run on renewable fuel and burn it in the way that nature intended - at atmospheric pressure. [cars produce noxious gasses due to pressurised combustion] BUT steam engines are heavy [fuel and water] and inefficient. Use them statically and you have a different story. Motion in reciprocating engines [steam, petrol and diesel] is all about releasing gas pressure. In external combustion, the FUEL ITSELF is not pressurised . Store gas pressure - in a cylinder - air compressor ... Drive a car vastly lighter less expensive / complex / dangerous [no explosive fuel or explosions].. Bish basche bosche and that’s it and all about d'it. Compress the air using whatever you want - steam engine, solar electric, you name it. Currently of course - air is free ! Even pressurised air at filling stations. Hello. Air cars are coming soon from a formula 1 engineer. Search youtube for air car. http://www.mdi.lu/english/ I told the P.R. girl - she handed me the sandwich which I'd asked her to make.
The project manager admitted to me that developing a turbine powered car had little potential to knock-on to the street. It may raise awareness and improve funding projects that might, however.
Had some fun with the army - there was a sergeant-major type who had obviously been assigned to keep us inline. He latched on to me as a
trouble-maker in no time. Perhaps I stood out as I was actually taking an interest. I said, quite simply, that he was mistaken [when he said he thought that I may have got some MOD building in a photographic shot of the car]. He had not approached Sky or BBC who were shooting directly at the building. I teased him later telling him to stand easy and that he was almost my bitch as my taxes paid his wages.
I enjoyed working with the s.c.c. team - fixing the catering tent after it blew over an urn of steaming water onto the pregnant [thank god I was right - and she wasn't just fat] PR girl - not a good day for the steam team from Lymington.

Thanks Winston

Woman in the book shop tells me the BNP are using Winston Churchill as a figurehead.. "well in those days it was England for the English." she said "so you are saying that it WAS ok then.. " I said.. she wasn't sure. "People said he was a warmonger" she said - people say I am - "but they choose not to see the provocation" [Hitler] Clem Attlee opened England up to the commonwealth apparently - quietly, without much fuss, legislation went through. What a great "Thank you" to Winston voting him in was!

Some girls do

some girls don't.. treat men like meat. If you don't come up to scratch u r scum.
If you do.. you win the chance to forego all intellect and self determination and serve a magazine-driven bimbo.

Trade wins ?

It is sexy to be arty - wacky - the Stones got laid - the suits didn't like it - they bought the Stones. The artist on the corner - same - the suited traders bought him for Athena..The kings road free spirit - total clothing rights charity shops gone mad - go down there now - elitist.. Anything that is desirable then gets a price and the traders move in. That includes football, sex, surfing, food.. rural English villages - they are full of suits in Porsches now .. What do we do ? legislate ?.. Traders also seem to have a radar against those who really ARE creative - its like they mimic the species that is competing withem and snuff out their behaviour replacing it with their own. Without creativity we are sunk. What do we trade as humans ? Products. If the human stock becomes only traders - what will they trade?

Happyness is my Busyness

War games

A chap for whom I have much respect and with whom I enjoy almost total alignment in terms of points-of-view said - if there was a war ..[all boys brought up in pampered cossetted female dominated environs.playing computer games - no exercise etc] I agreed BUT actually, soon wars will be fought remotely and controlled just as in virtuual simulated war games!! It will be hardware v. hardware just as it always has been without the flesh . So exercise for troop stock is not even an issue . male instincts are redundant but you still like a fit body in the sack no? help!!

Are the genders merging or is one going to preside over t'other? Have we invented our way out of gender specifix..

carcoons

carcousses

its a DEFENSIVE thing - I have just realised. Attack being the best form of defence.

If we could adjust the psyche of the WASP [white anglo saxon plonker ] just a fraction back from neanderthal and hyenesque then car wars would be over.

It all ties in with what I was saying about the inherant minding of others' business. Its a flaw I think that drives [!] out other perfectly good citizens - to France or the moors or Sherwood forest. The instinct is valid - see blog - ...But when it becomes disproportionate and missplaced it is - in my oh so humble opinion - a DISease.

People feel UNeasy - they compensate by carcooning themseles and taking the argument TO the enemy [anyone] who canot reply or defend.. and the arms race starts as any war escalates.. As the Eirish problem - how 2 initiate disarmamment - and in a slump there is more anxt more called 2 arms..
