No I was in court in Belgium.
In 2007 januari I had forgotten the speedlimit in Turnhout (Belgium).
They have measured a speed of 71 km/hr were 70 was allowed. That results in a 60 euro penalty. I was a little late with the payment (due to the difficulties of paying abroad).
And.... they have lost my payment. That why I was forced to go to court. Finally the judge give m a minimum penalty of 55 Euro and 23 Euro's (partly the cost of court) the already paid 60 euros will be subtracted from that. That will leave to pay 17 euro's.
So I have a record now in Belgium, convicted by the judge.

It's weekly... Don't understand why it takes so long, considering there were 2 weeks between me sending the letter and receiving the "you've won" mail... It took 8 to 10 weeks to publish a letter in 1974, and it takes 12 weeks today.

Who needs Belgium anyway. I've had my license for umm...three years now but I've never been booked or pulled over. It's very difficult to stick to the slow limits when there are 20 cars piled up behind you getting very angry.

I've had people overtake me in a school zone where the speed limit is 40km/h.

My mood:

I almost gave up! After installing the Mac OS X upgrade "10.5" ("Leopard" -- a mere US $129 plus $5.50 SHIPPING!) absolutely everything began either to freeze or crash. After doing everything possible to get the mess cleared up, even booting in Mac OS X's "UNIX" environment and taking very careful steps there to change preferences, provided by a Mac technician, I was still fucked!!! The only thing left for me to do was to do a clean installation of "10.5" Fine! The only problem was the loss of 207 Gigabytes (!) of irreplaceable data!!! I wanted to take that whole machine and ram it up Steve Jobs' ass!!!
I still can't recall the most irreplaceable data but I'm remembering it as I go along.
No stored usernames/passwords at all, all bookmarks gone, and on and on and on. Aaaaarrrrgh! The only reason I could get in here is my Dell Windows 2000 laptop, currently running now.
I almost forget when it happened which was just over a month ago. This laptop is one rickety old (Released November, 1999!) machine but I fuss over it and do maintenance on it constantly.
(Weather sucks too! Lots of snow, lots of freezing rain, lots of rain, and a whole lot of ICE! It's just 34 degrees F/1 degree C and the snow just turned to rain. And there's still something weird and unsettling about "snow thunder squalls" -- the lightning and thunder in a burst of snow is just plain eerie!)

--Bat :shocked: :crying:

DED - 13-2-2008 at 15:34

You said the only thing left to do, I think there was another way.
Lending,hiring or buying a clean disk.
Put it in your machine, make clean installation. Put your old disc in as slave
Pump the data to your new disk
shut down
new disk out, make old disk master
make a clean installation
Put in new disk as slave, pump data back
format the new disk and give it back or sell it or keep it as a clean slave whatever.
Forget all your logins and passwords but 1 (ours)

If I 'm too late with my advise
Then be convinced that I'm :shocked::shocked:

DED:"Forget all your logins and passwords but 1 (ours)" LOL!

Oh, but all the corrupted, screwed-up parts of the System were installed on the internal Hard Drive! Putting the disk in only let me "Replace Current System" and told me, "The current System will be placed in a folder titled "Previous System" and that's still there, with the title "Previous System" but I used an application that comes with the System called, "Migration Assistant" That took all my "Applications" from the "Previous System" folder and copied them to the new System -- only one application didn't recognize my "key code" and I had to buy a new (US $35) "key code" soth that I got all its functions and it didn't open up in 6 days with a window saying, "Your 6-day evaluation period has expired, please contact Lemkesoft for your authorization code." Ugh! More money!:pissed:
So, no disks would have held anything and now I have a 107 GB "folder" marked "Previous System" on my hard drive doing nothing but taking up 107GBs of space on my 250 GB internal hard drive. Blech! Thanks for the attempt to dig me out of the mess, DED! ;-)

Ohhhh, yeah! But finally Apple put out a "point upgrade" that cleaned all, well, almost, all the bugs out of their "Leopard" Mac OS X (10.5) but it wasn't 10.5.1, it was 10.5.2! It was a huge download but it was a perfect system stabilizer!

I hate these software companies that sell their trash before it's ready -- either "Crapple" or "Microsnot" -- because "it's time to make a lot of money!":regan::regan::regan:

punknaynowned - 25-5-2008 at 07:36

Well, for one thing, ''Cruisin''' has been a youth-culture pastime for fifty years here. When enough wealth was had in an industrial society that had built enough internal combustion carriages, in this case, to give the teenager in love something to do . . .
'Route '66' is an extension of that. Jack Kerouac 'On The Road', even Nabokov's Lolita . . . Jan & Dean, The Beach Boys. The race on the cliff in 'Rebel Without a Cause'?
Yeah. To do something stupid and see what chance encounters bring.

punknaynowned - 11-6-2008 at 01:41

this reminded me when I saw it of the same character in a Terry Gilliam movie. Can you name the movie? In reality it stands in the same church as Bonny's 'Brown Moses' in the other thread.

Hey Punky, are you talking about Monty Python's Meaning Of Life?

No and I haven't seen that in such a long time, I don't remember if the gr makes an appearance in the Meaning of Life, tho it would make sense (btw Terry Jones directed it).
I was thinking of The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. I love that one so much, I should go purchase it. But I have such a loathing for the accumulation of stuff : :regan:I hate being bourgeois.

The Grandmothers!! Is it?

aquagoat - 22-6-2008 at 16:20

scallopino - 23-6-2008 at 14:21

Who's saying that? Who exactly is saying "Really I'm fine"? Is it the wooden placard itself? It might be. And is it just using a picture of the upside down cow to ironically express itself? If it is, is the placard even capable of changing its mood? No it isn't. It's ALWAYS not fine.

If it's the cow (actually a representation of a cow) who's saying it, how did it transfer it's message to the placard itself? Clearly the cow is not fine, but how did the placard know that? Maybe the cow made the placard. But that's impossible because the cow is just a picture of a cow and is itself inside the placard.

We must conclude that it was the person who made/bought the placard who is he or she isn't fine (by saying they are fine and juxtaposing it with a dead/inoperable cow). But then the placard should say: "Really...the person who bought/made this is fine" to avoid any possible confusion that may occur. I'm going to send a letter of complaint right now.

Sometimes hot, sometimes wet, sometimes with forest fires. The south is hothothothot! Many Dutch tourists, very annoying.

And of course, you wouldn't want to be a member of a club that would have you as a member.

BBP - 25-6-2008 at 06:47

The main reason why Dutch are annoying is you can understand what they say, how much trouble they have with cultural differences of the hygienic kind and all that.

Unless you go to a camping with an ANWB sign, where unvariably the most annoying "things for Dutchmen" happen. Like bilingual bingo, though it was fun hearing the lady translate 42 as 24 and getting in trouble afterwards. Or disco.

But the worst we had was when there were 2 vacant spaces with a small hedge separating them, right across from our tent, and a Dutch mother and 2 kids decided it would be fun to play VOLLEYBALL there, which of course was accompanied by heavy discussions on the regulations and on whether a ball was in or out. :pissed:

Today I had a rough day on the round, being very tired. As I went home, I was cycling too close to the side of the road, and as my knees tend to bend outward when I cycle (bicycle is too tiny), the inside of my right knee hit a tree, causing me to fall on the ground. OUCH!
