Not to be outdone by their European compatriots who often attempt to cross the English channel in a dinghy, the Cubans aim for Florida by truck. Their floating vessel consisted of a green truck buoyed by 55 gallon drums on either side, and its rear axel had been modified to turn a propellor. Unfortunately for its creators, the U.S. Coast Guard caught them before they could gain entry. Oh well, they can always apply for a place on the UK’s Scrap Heap Challenge TV program instead 🙂

No blog would be complete without a link to some Star Wars Kid Remix Videos. Once again thanks Ghylsain (or is it Ghyslain?).
It’s day 10 of my holiday in Florida. Currently staying down at the Trade Winds Resort on St Pete’s beach, right on the Gulf of Mexico… and wow is the water hot! There are signs at the beach saying “April through October: Do the Stingray Shuffle or you will do the First Aid Hop!”.
It’s now the fourth day of my holiday. Went to Orlando Universal yesterday. The rides were really good, particularly the “dueling dragons”. Went shopping the day before that, everything is so cheap compared to the UK. I bought two pairs of trainers for the equivalent of 25 quid! Going to “Wet and Wild” tomorrow, which is a water park in case any of you were wondering! 🙂 Anyhow I had better go because the Internet Access at the hotel is one thing that isn’t cheap.
Going to florida on friday, so watch this space… I’ll attempt to update it while I’m out there!
If you are bored, check out the games at Boohbah Zone – ok, so they were created for pre-school children, but it managed to keep our whole office entertained for hours.
Went to Max Power Live on sunday. Some guy called “Wozza” got picked from the audience to recreate a handbrake turn stunt where he is supposed to handbrake into a parking space between two cars. Needless to say things didnt quite go to plan. You can see the car crash video here.
Check out Phil Glanville’s site. Very well designed, and slightly crazy! He is the javascript king.
Don’t think and drive, it’s dangerous! What will they ban next!?
Some asylum seekers attempted to cross the channel in a dinghy this weekend. I think that if anyone can get accross to england from france on a lilo then they should be granted full UK citzenship 🙂
