Old = Expensive. Especially cars.

So this morning I was driving my 1978 Merc Coupe to the office, when my fuel cage suddenly dropped to 0, and I ended up pushing the car to the side of the road. Ok, no big deal, I have a 5l jerrycan for situations just like this. Unfortunately, I forgot to fill it up after I took out the petrol for the lawnmower last week!

Ah well, got a lift to the nearest petrol station, got my jerrycan filled up, and drove to the petrol station again to fill up the car. While I was there, I figured it’d be a good idea to pump up the tires, and top up the engine oil. So I spend $120 on petrol, $50 on engine oil, and a fiver for a can of red bull (yes, terrible idea for breakfast, I know!)

After pouring the engine oil in, I went ahead and tried to close the bonnet, when I heard a SNAP! somewhere – crap. So now, my bonnet somehow leans to the right hand side, and wont close properly anymore. Had to drive it to the nearest garage going 30k/h on a 70k road, because all I had was a shoestring to hold the bonnet down! Figured I might as well let them do a service on the car, seeing it hasn’t had one in a few years now.

I have the feeling I’d better bring in an extra credit card when I go pick it up…

Russian Robber Turns Sex Slave in Russia – Again?

I don’t know why, but it looks like some newspapers are really struggling to get new material, so they rehash old stories, which were probably never real in the first place.

Whatever happened to the Principles of journalism?

Democracy depends on citizens having reliable, accurate facts put in a meaningful context. Journalism does not pursue truth in an absolute or philosophical sense, but it can–and must–pursue it in a practical sense. This “journalistic truth” is a process that begins with the professional discipline of assembling and verifying facts. Then journalists try to convey a fair and reliable account of their meaning, valid for now, subject to further investigation. Journalists should be as transparent as possible about sources and methods so audiences can make their own assessment of the information. Even in a world of expanding voices, accuracy is the foundation upon which everything else is built–context, interpretation, comment, criticism, analysis and debate. The truth, over time, emerges from this forum. As citizens encounter an ever greater flow of data, they have more need–not less–for identifiable sources dedicated to verifying that information and putting it in context.

This is the oldest copy (15 April 2009) I found of the Russian Robber story, who became a tied-up, viagra fed, sex slave to a martial arts hairdresser in Moscow. Link.

*Edit Looks like I wasn’t the only one who noticed this.

Google Priority Inbox – Please Work.

Google mail, or gmail, introduced something new just now – Priority Inbox helps you get through it faster by putting the most important mail at the top of your inbox.

Wonder if this will do me any good.

And to think I completely emptied this account 2 months ago. Guess thats what you get for having one of the most generic email addresses in the world. You wouldn’t believe all the account details, order details, private emails and membership details that I get every week, because people used my email address for some reason.

From amazon login details, to password resets for myspace, twitter, facebook and other accounts, to billing statement, love letters, business memos, cheating housewives, and personal holiday pictures.

Here’s an example you might enjoy
:

And yes, feel free to try that free bangbros account. Some John Jones is taking care of the bill.

Did Imran Naseem really just say this?

Woohee! This one nearly made me wet my pants! Imran is now calling out other Warrior Forum members, accusing them of rehashing money making methods!

Because last time Imran was caught, stealing someone elses report, and flogging it as his own WSO, he managed to cry hard and long enough for the WF mods to remove his thread. No body, no case right? So I got the Google Cache links for this thread.

Anyway, I am referring to: Part 1Part 2

And look at this screenshot. Notice how he has a hard time justifying a $27 purchase, yet in his signature, he’s claiming that he is making thousands of dollars per month from facebook, another couple of thousand from offline schemes, and how he makes a fortune on YouTube.

Then he goes ahead, pretends to buy the product, and have a ~250 review just 10 minutes later, trashing the report (der!) So spiteful and petty that he’s trying hard to ruin someone elses WSO.

Here’s a few astonishing things that Imran actually said to this WSO seller:

The report is just a rehash of existing methods you can find on the Internet.

I can show you proof but for a measly amount of money I think you have shot yourself in the foot by not only making yourself look like a complete fool but also someone who I have no intention of doing business with.

And now that we’re on the subject of Imran Naseem (yet again) I’d also like to make a quick reply to “Jim” who left a comment on one of the other Imran posts here. “Jim” seems to be the only person who loves Imran.

1. Bob, I think this blog is bullshit. You start a blog to bash a guy whose products you’ve never purchased? – No, I did not start this blog to bash a guy whose products I never purchased. It just so happens that he caught my interest when he was acting like an assclown. I wrote a few posts regarding Mr Imran Naseem himself, not his products. That’s all.

2. Sounds like most of the people on this forum have never bought anything from Imran, so your credibility as an “authority” is dubious, at best. – Hold on, back up there. We’re talking about a post on my blog here. Not any forums. You didn’t just copy and paste your comment as a “damage control” effort did you? And hey, I never claimed to be an authority, on anything for that matter.

3. Regarding all your “rehashing” points – I think you’re a bit off comparing Imran’s steal-copy-paste-sell-profit “business model” with teachers, athletes, coaches, and surgeons, that practice a respectable profession.

4. Would you give up on a profitable niche if you were making great money with it? – Would you show everyone else how you are making thousands and thousands of dollars per week, in a $5 report? Wouldn’t that be shooting yourself in the foot?

5. so you have to bash someone else in a feeble attempt to make yourself look better – You mean like constantly throwing around accusations of scamming and slurs, shouting at the top of your lungs that you have proof, but when people ask for it, you don’t have any proof to present?

6. I am not here to defend anybody, but those of you who are bashing someone who does an effective job at providing GOOD training information to his buyers (at a reasonable price), without your even having read the material you are bashing, must have your own hidden agenda, which is more transparent than you may think. – The only agenda I have is to make sure as many people as possible are aware of what a scammer Imran Naseem really is, and hopefully they can save a bit of money and some frustration.

Seriously “Jim” I’m just wondering how much Imran paid you to write up that 711 word comment. And on how many blog posts/forum threads you’re spinning it to help salvage whatever is left of your reputation, Imran.

My advice to people who found this post while searching on Google for Imran Naseem products, do not waste your time or money.
