The wife came home early and found her husband in their bedroom making love to a very attractive young woman. And was somewhat upset. "You are

a disrespectful pig!" she cried. "How dare you do this to me -- a faithful wife, the mother of your children ! I'm leaving you. I want a divorce straight away !"

And the husband replied "Hang on just a minute love, so at least I can tell you what happened."

"Fine, go ahead," she sobbed, "but they'll be the last words you'll say to me!"

And the husband began -- "Well, I was getting into the car to drive home and this young lady here asked me for a lift. She looked so down and out

and defenseless that I took pity on her and let her into the car. I noticed that she was very thin, not well dressed and very dirty. She told me that she hadn't eaten for three days ! So, in my compassion, I brought her home and warmed up the enchiladas I made for you last night, the ones you wouldn't eat because you're afraid you'll put on weight. The poor thing devoured them in moments..

Since she needed a good clean up I suggested a shower, and while she was doing that I noticed her clothes were dirty and full of holes so I threw them away. Then, as she needed clothes, I gave her the designer jeans that you have had for a few years, but don't use because you say they are too tight. I also gave her the underwear that was your anniversary present, which you don't use because I don't have good taste. I found the sexy

blouse my sister gave you for Christmas that you don't use just to annoy her, and I also donated those boots you bought at the expensive boutique

and don't use because someone at work has a pair of the same."

The husband took a quick breath and continued - "She was so grateful for my understanding and help and as I walked her to the door she turned to

me with tears in her eyes and said, " Please . do you have anything else that your wife doesn't use?"

A must have!!

192. Ananda Shankar - Ananda Shankar (1970)



Genre - Rock, psychedelic rock, cross-over

Excellent. Some chessy moments but quite enjoyable and worthwhile to listen to. Standards like "Jumpin Jack Flash" and "Light my fire' get Sitar-ed up!

Highly recommended!

Well, there goes any thoughts of my Iran trip...
All photos from Associated Press









Some eye-opening videos too..

1. Sirjan - A group of protesters save and resuscitate two hung men.. later police open fire on them, Warning! Highly disturbing scenes,
Source - The Atlantic



2. Tehran - Security forces are cornered by protesters and beaten. the crowd scolds and beats them and they seek forgiveness.

Translation
People ask them 'why do you do this to your people?' and the riot guards ask for forgiveness, 'Bebakhshid' they can be heard to say.

'You are Yazid's - the Khalif against whom the Ashura uprising took place -forces', the woman shouts at them. One of the protesters then reassures them that they will not be beaten up, all they have to do is say Khamenei is a bastard. The woman can then be heard saying 'All you can do is kill your people is it?' and again they plead saying 'Please We are not killers'.

A young woman who is heard towards the end yells "Are you only brave on your motorbike, you piece of shit?!" before apparently kicking him as a man tells her to stop.

The 2008 Louis Vuitton 'Journey' ad is making its rounds again. Whilst I'll never sport anything LV, I must say this is one gorgeous and introspective ad.

Call it what you will, cheesy, capitalist, consumerist driven drivel, populist avantgarde, it is stunning. I want to take photos like these!!

I wonder... there's this whole world out there. So many things to see, touch, smell, hear...experience. I want to drive free on an open road, without a worry in the world. I want to climb mountains, I want to breathe...to float on a lake, with the rain gently falling on my face. Perhaps walk down a busy hectic city street/subway station, anonymous to the world. On and on..

It truly is the little things? And I want to do it with you. You are out there...Whoever you may be. I am ready.

But yet...it reminds me...

I know nothing and I am nothing.
With or without you, the world goes on by....

The full ad..

Land Banking Companies
Why the majority of them are (legal) scams


The sad truth is the plots of land sold by Land Banking firms have about a 1% chance of receiving planning permission over the next 20+ years. Although of course the land banking firm will give the impression that planning permission will soon be granted.
Land banking companies started appearing around the year 2000 and most if not all of these firms follow a similar business plan -


Agricultural land is presently priced around £3,000 an acre

The land banking company will approach a farmer or landowner and offer to buy 5-20 acres at well over market rate which normally means they strike a deal

The company will then split the land up into smaller parcels and try to sell them for around £7,500 - £25,000 per plot (1 plot is usually 0.1 of an acre)


But why would investors buy at such inflated prices - simple, because the land banking company will have convinced them that planning permission is sure to be granted within say 5 years and then the plots will have risen in value by 200% - 500%.

Genre - Rock

185. Black Sabbath – Paranoid (1971)



Genre - Heavy Metal

If there's any, or for the matter ONLY heavy metal album you listen, then you need to listen to this. RAW power and energy, this album defined the sound of heavy metal. Caution! Some very depressing and bleak stuff (from horror, scif-fi, death, drug abuse, nuclear destruction etc). And you must watch their live performances! Ozzy Osbourne is nuts!
