Little white lies.

Whilst driving home from Napa I had the pleasure of this idiot driving his eco pious along the freeway at a don't destroy the world 50mph. Besides the so called eco car he had the number plate you can see in the pic...how smug,how radical....how friggin pompous and stupid. fighting back the urge to drive straight over him in my gas guzzler we instead sat alongside and gave him a little wave...of the English 2 finger variety...childish I know but just pitched at the correct level for the average libtard.

The simple life.

Whilst over the water in England I try to keep in touch with the bay area by reading the local newspapers and blogs. This article caught my eye the other day as I read the rather liberal leaning sfgate site...always good for a laugh I find. I read the article as I am very interested in the rammed earth building concept as I plan to build in California at some time and this is a building technique I am interested in using. It is a technique that has been practised around the world (in England it is known as clunch or cob building) for thousands of years and is particularly suited for climactic conditions such as those in CA. I plan if possible to buy a house that has enough land that will enable me to build a guest house using rammed earth, coupled with various natural materials available...not that I'm a crusty eco nut...I just prefer building with stone and wood etc. The lady in the article seems to have spent rather a large amount on her project and as I'm a free marketeer at heart...that's fine. The only problem is...she seems to believe she has downsized,gotten closer to the earth and somehow become more in tune with the environment. A house the size of hers with yoga studio,exotic woods etc is not by any sense of scale ...living a simple life....ah!...life in Napa...lala land at its best....I can't wait to get back!

You can take the boy out of Liverpool etc.

Whilst travelling down the Silverado trail in napa this week I needed to pull the hummer over to the side in a hurry.I had only been parked for a few seconds when out of the blue appeared a lycra clad tree hugging freak.Now I had forced him to perhaps lengthen his journey by 3 ft but his reaction was rather over the top.He immediately in front of all my female family members proceeded to swear at me in rather an aggressive manner...what is an Englishman to do? now whilst in America I do try to maintain an air of faint disdain for the occasional rudeness I come across...but...well...erm....the cyclist was last seen disappearing rapidly in opposite direction trying I presume to call the CHP.Eco nazis are not it seems capable of standing up to a meat eating co2 producing son of Albion...sod em!
