Houston - we have a problem!
Booster number 3 on the Ostrich Explorer hasn't ignited...
...oh, it's OK... he's off. Good Luck Big Fella!
edit - apologies for limited hummus... just had to get something made to break my photoshopper's block.

» Mini Cabs From Hell
The scariest cab ride I ever took was in Dubai
Very much a London-mini-cab-style experience. Cab turned up, we pile in, and discover that the driver is a huge rastafarian with dub reggae blasting out of the stereo and a big joint on the go.
He's got one hand hanging onto the handle above the door, and the other holding his big fat spliff.
And, er, no hands at all on the steering wheel.
The car's an automatic, so he doesn't need to change gear. He ain't stopping, so he doesn't need the handbrake. And why bother holding the wheeel when you can steer with your knees?
This bastard proceeds to drive us through town and out to where we're going without touching the wheel once with his hands, including navigating a couple of clover-leaf highway junctions.
We thought we were going to die... although the passive smoking took the edge off it.

» Clients Are Stupid
I'm a lighting designer
An architect once said to me "we've increased the quantity of skylights in the building (an airport), so you must be able to save a lot of money... we won't need as many lights!"
You will at night, mate. See when that big orange thing goes below the horizon...

Johnny Cash was the first American to know that Stalin was dead.
He was in the army and was monitoring Russian radio broadcasts.

» The Worst Journey in the World
Dubai.
A colleague and I, a few years ago. We come out of the place in town we'd had a meeting, and there's a taxi rank right next door outside a shopping mall.
It's July in Dubai... very hot, very humid. Not comfortable at all outdoors fully clothed. So we dash to the front cab and pile in, announce our destination and sit back...
...at which point we spot the little signs we'd missed in our haste - fake fur seat covers, the drivers' dreadlocks, the plastic model spliff and the picture of Haile Selassie hanging from the mirror.
The driver was very laid back. Just a touch too fucking laid back to be driving anything.
He drove the whole 20 minute journey without his hands ever touching the wheel. One hand on the handle above the door, the other on the gear stick, steering with his knees. Including negotiating a couple of clover-leaf highway junctions. At speed.
I really didn't think we'd make it.

» Lies Your Parents Told You
My parents told me that salad cream and mayonnaise were the same thing.
I was mightily pissed off when I found out the truth, and discovered that mayo was good, as opposed to the vinegary, slightly green gunk that was salad cream...
Bizarrely, I once had a girlfriend whose parents had perpetuated the same myth.
