Cars The BBC And Politics

Another week gone, a lot was supposed to happen this week at work but things went wrong and the material we were waiting for wasn’t ready, so all in all not a great week as far as progress goes..
Time is getting tight now and I’m booked back to the UK on the 28th March it was originally the 7th and it won’t change again, so maybe the next two weeks here will be hectic, will have to wait and see.
Photo on the left is of the crane we have hanging around at work for three days now waiting, glad it's not my money.
Changed my car last week had to drive to the airport in Charlotte to do this as you can’t do it over the phone if you’ve already had a car out for 28days, need to go bank on and show your face for some reason. New car it's a Pontiac G6, quite stylish but not a lot of power and I'm not mad about the colour it's a sort of off white but I'm going to give it a 7 out of 10 as it looks quite good.
Forgot to take my coat and sweat shirt out of the back when I changed the car, went back the next day car was gone and nothing had been handed in so that peed me off a little. In the grand scheme of things not a lot though when I think about it I’ve got more room in my case for some new things now.
Working all week doesn’t leave much time to do anything else much, for instance been at work six days this week. Typical day for me is getting to work about 7 leaving about 6 going to the gym for an hour or so getting something to eat so not a lot left for anything else, pretty boring, photo on the right is in the parking lot just outside the new gym.
Thought I would get out today and do something as I wasn’t at work but got up late and just watched TV went out for a little went to a couple of shops and a walk around and that was pretty much it. There’s not a lot to do around the immediate area, anyway apart from shopping and going to restaurants, and that gets boring after doing it a few times. The restaurants for instance are all chains, there are a lot of them but they are all the same so you know exactly what you are going to get depending on the chain, shopping’s a bit like that as well in the Mall’s around here.
That leave the TV and the big thing over here is the presidential race, it’s on all the time. Occasionally attention get drawn to something else for a few days, right now it’s a guy called Eliot Spitzer. He’s the governor of New York and got himself into a sex scandal with a prostitute, he’s getting crucified right now, so it’s diverting attention form Clinton and Obama a little bit, or at least it was.
Obamas in trouble right now, the pastor of his church is pretty out spoken about whites America, and that sort of thing so lots of political fall out from that, not good for Obama. I’m sure Hilary Clinton is rubbing her hands and kissing the ground right now, just the kind of thing that may help her out especially as Obama has more delegates right now.
Just an observation but if you think England is PC just move over here for a while you don’t seem to be able to say any thing over here with out a lawyer checking it out first, am sure it won’t be long for us though.
Just watching the Calendar Girls on BBC America at the moment, don’t know what it is but seem to like all things British right now and you can always count on the good old BBC. Most of the US channels I have are either news or weather, then there’s the talk show and Judge Judy or some other drivel.
I’m struggling to find anything much to write about as you’ve probably guessed, that because I haven’t been anywhere or done anything, so will get going now..
