A free concert for the 5% of us that can’t stand bhangra, indi-pop and hindi film music. A very nice change from the usual.
Shame it took a three hour flight full of wailing kids (that should have been checked in with the rest of the luggage) and a four hour drive down treacherously wet, hill roads in a car with weedy tires, no ABS and a driver blissfully ignorant of the concept of aqua-planing. But since I didn’t go skidding off the edge of the hill into the crisp, cool Meghalayan air, I’d say totally worth it.
One of the upshots of the ‘Cash for Clunkers’ programs put into place by many countries (U.S.A, Germany, U.K., to name a few) to stimulate the economy and ‘save or create’ jobs is that thousands of perfectly decent cars (the ‘clunkers’ traded in) must be destroyed. This is one of the many videos of these clunkers being put to death that is floating around on ‘teh internets’, it looks like a late model Volvo S60 on death row. As part of the deal the car dealers accepting these cars as trade-ins must destroy them. They do this by putting either sulphuric acid or some sort of liquid glass compound into the cars’ engines which are first drained off of oil and then run them till they tear themselves apart. But can anyone spot what is wrong with this video?
