The Weekend is upon us.

So it is to be sure to be sure.

Well had a great nights sleep last night which can only be a good thing because it's gonna be a crazy one today.

Proper work will be busy enough but also I have to prepare for a long night of DJ'ing and....................we'll call it "Socialising"

(Mix Bar, Reading 7pm til 8pm then Mango, Reading 9pm til 1am on the terrace.....back to back with my extra special guest and good chum all the way back from Thailand Mr Keith Newman.........if anybody is interested

Not really going to have any kind of break in between so might as well just crack on.

Must mention about an ex work colleague who after reading the blog went and ordered and brand spanking new Audi A4 with fully on Wavy LEDs, good work Sean :-)

Audi if you happen to be reading this I'll take commission in the form of a long weekends use of an R8 without LEDs please and if you could give the drivers seat a good steam clean before handing it over that'd be great.

Little one was funny yesterday. We're off to Great Yarmouth at the end of the month and unbeknown to her we'd arranged with our friends that their girl could come with us too. Apparently when told there were tears of happiness and "This is the best birthday ever" was blurted out.....bless her.

Great news too for the Vreeman family over in L.A. and their adoption proceedings. On their way back now from Ethiopia with the new family member. This young girl can not only now look forward to much better life but will also be spending it with a great and wonderful new family. Truly fantastic and an inspiration for us all.

Back to German efficiency. I'm hoping that this will again prove to be head and shoulders about all others as I ordered another Party Animals, Ibiza T-Shirt from Cocoonclub in Frankfurt (the most perfect club I've ever been too......German of course, well done Papa Sven) just two days ago in the hope that it might arrive today.....We'll see.

Oh blast, have to bugger off to Pinewood studios now which wasn't expected and will set me back an hour or so.

Toodle pip :-)....for now.

German Cars

OK I think it's obvious from my previous posts that I admire virtually anything German.

If something is German it is generally good. Be that mechanical, sporting, musical, hygenic, etc etc.

So why is it that I don't particularly like German cars?

I mean I realise that they are exceptionally well made and designed to their nearest points of perfection but I just don't get excited about them and I cannot explain why.

That is true for most of the manufacturers you can think of. Mercedes, Porsche, BMW et al.

However there is one particular manufacturer of undoubtedly fine auto mobiles that I simply cannot stand at the moment...............Audi !!

Not the old Audi's I mean the new ones and why is that you ask?

Those horrible, rediculous, pretentious LEDs that underline the headlights. The rest of the cars designs are completely adorable.

Why the hell are the LEDs there? They do nothing useful, they just serve the purpose of tell the person infront of them looking back in their rear view mirror that soon they will have some middle aged Top Gear presenter wannabe/Estate Agent/Travelling Salesman (delete as applicable) driving far too close to their rear bumper.

I'm guessing that they are being marketed as some kind of daytime safety feature designed to make people more aware of your presence on the road but even that doesn't make sense at all.

Maybe ones on the rear lights I can understand but on the headlights ?!?!? Why does the person in front of you need to see your any more clearly than the fact that they have a great big car in there rear view mirror?

OK so even if the LEDs were infact useful and even if using them did have the remotest effect of car safety why the hell would you then change the design of them from straight to wavy?

I'm guessing the people that buy these used to be the same people who used to own de-badged BMW 316's or company Ford Mondeo's and drive along in the hottest day of summer with their foglights on.

(Disclaimer - To all drives of Audi's which have these LEDs and do not turn them on this next bit does not apply)

My advice to anybody feeling the need to pull over and let one of these self obsessed morons overtake you during rush hour on the A4 through Slough (for instance) is to wind up your window because eventually when they have to stop directly alongside of you having got only 4 metres further in their journey a waft of stale semen will come right at you directly from the pubis of this person.

But other than that I think they are OK :-)
