The HoneyWell Kitchen Computer

Aboslutly true,

The only computer ever made with a built in chopping board.

Bizzare.

Well I never knew that

The phrase Peanut Gallery is based on the cheapest seats in old American theater. The seats where the highest in the theater (the Gods in English theater). The people who sat in these seats where known to heckle that performers and throw peanuts to show if they did not like a performance.

Thought

Americans do whatever they can not to use the word "toilet" or anything that relates to what you may do in there, "bathroom", "restroom" (when was the last time you had a rest in there?). Where as us Brits like to make it sound even worse than it is "bog", "crapper" etc...

interesting, enit?

Domsetic Violence

I know this is not acutaly funny and any sort of domesic voilnce is a realy nasty thing, even when it is a woman beating up a man. But...

I was reading the Sun today (yes, I read the sun, got a problem with that?) in wich they had a feture about beaten husbands. A quote from a nasty calouge of beatings for one bloke whent a little somthing like this:

"Once when I stood up to her and told her she had been aggressive. She kicked me in the testicles and punched me in the face."

Like a say wrong to laugh, but its hard not to *shame*

Friday Recommendation

This week it is the slightly pikey choice of:

JD Weatherspoon boozers

It does, of course, depend on which one you go to the volume of old, pissed up derelicts "enjoying" a pint of 99p Scotch bitter. But if you dont mind that, or you can find one that largley has normal people they can be the ideal pub for a good on sesh on the pop.

Any pub you can go to in this day an age and get 4 good pints of Stella for under £8 has got to be good.

Ray

oh dear.

Oh frank

Taste, Whats that.

Normal Service has been Resumed

Dont know what has been up with TheBrownHaze for the last couple of days. For some reason the pages where not updating. But all back to normal now so, thats exelent.

Public Informaion Films

Charlie says.... this is a quality trip down memory lane.

Public Informaion Films

Movie

I saw balck hawk down the other day. what a rip off, there was not a single rabit in it.

(its the way I tell em)

Blane

Hear is a wicked quote from a news story on the beeb about blane and his "sitting in perspex box" antics and the way the Brittish public think hes a dick.

Medical student Allison LaFata, 25, said: "We think of you as prim and proper. I wouldn't expect to go to London and see lots of drunken, rowdy behaviour."

I also like this one

She agreed that the British behaviour was in marked contrast to Blaine's gentler treatment by US spectators, looking on "in wonderment".

"I think Americans are much more easily impressed," she said.

"Quote"

"This morning air's some chilly shit"

Concil Tax gripe

OK, I know I am 3 months behind on my council tax. This is in part becuase I was setting up my single persons alowance and in part becuse I am lazy.

But to day I phoned the number on the front of my coulic tax book, switch card in hand ready to pay off all that I owed to get my self up to date, whent therough the ususal voice menu expecting to have to sit in a queue for a while.

What I acutaly got was a recorded message saying "the cash payment office is currenlty closed, please call back later" They did not say when the would be open, and what where they doing closed at 14:30 anyway, its not like they dont get enought money to keep the bleeding place open.

And while I am on the subject:

As far as I know my council tax to pay for Police (fair enough) and to get the bins emptied (some other stuff I know but that the biggest part of it). For those of you that ever go down my street, the place looks like a tip most of the time. This is in part becuase when the bin men empty the bins they spill rubish all over the place.

I live in an area of high desity housing, lets say there are 4 flats per building, each flat generating between £50 and £80 of revinue for the council per month, there are about 60 bulidings. By my maths there should be at least £8000 of council tax coming out of my street per month.

For that I would expect the bin men to collect the rubish from my flat to save me taking it to the bin, and drive a state of the art stealth bin van to make sure they dont wake me up when I have a day off.

ahhh, thats better, gripe over.

Fox Hunting

Here are my thoughts on fox hunting, I have sent them in to (suprise suprise) the talking point, butI doubt they will be shown.

A few points.

1) for those who say we should continue hunting because it is in “mans nature” to hunt. Next time I see a lady I like the look of I will bash her over the head with my club and take her back to my cave, thats also in mans nature.
2) For those who say we should keep fox hunting because lots of jobs depend on it. More jobs depended on the slave trade, does that mean we should not have gotten rid of that.
3)Those who say it is cruel to not let a dog behave in “a natural way” by not letting hit hunt. Why not let you dog maul a toddler, that would be natural for a dog, wouldn’t it?

Personally I don’t realy care if a bunch of toffs want to ride horses and kill a fox with a pack of dogs, just don’t pretended its something it isn’t. You says its good for the country side becuase it keeps the fox population down. Thats as maby but I would find it a lot easyer to belive you if you didn't enjoy it so much. Its blood lust, perfectly natural.

Nice Centiment

This is (as ususal) taken from a BBC talking point, this one is what impossible dream would you like to do. I think this guy is spot on.

I'm with Aristotle on this one: a good life is made of a mixture of good things. These good things give pleasure and mitigate the inevitable bad things in life. The wish list? To love and be loved, to be respected for a successful public and private life, to be wealthy, healthy and fondly remembered when I'm gone. There's more chance of going to the moon than doing all these in one lifetime, which makes it the ultimate dream experience for me.

Bad night out

I had a realy bad night out last week. I went to this bar in north soho. Got ripped of on a bottle of champagne that taseted like cherry coke and then ended up copping off with this big transvestite who almost broke my spine.

Talk about a crap night out.

Wi Fi phone boxes

How cool is this. BT are putting WiFi acess points in to payphone boxes. This could be very handy if you happen to live near a phone box :)

Google search

You may have noticed the Google search field at the top of the page that gives you the impression that you can search the brownhaze. And that was, infact, the idea. Thus far I have not been able to get it working, but feel free to give it a try.

It may start working next time google crawls the internet and gets to my page, we will just have to wait and see.

more 911 stuff
heres another good one

I am deeply concerned for the people on here who think it was America's foreign policies that caused 9/11. If you would just get off of your anti-America stand, and think for once. You would know that America was attacked because we are America. We are the envy of the entire world. We are the economic, cultural, and military powerhouse of Earth. If you were some hateful militant living in a cave, who would you want to attack? And if you want to call my comment arrogant, then go ahead and do so.
Justin Hughes, United States

Americans

The BBC talking point about 9/11 makes exelent reading. I liked this one particulary.

I lost co-workers in the Pentagon on September 11th. The pain has been real; the resolve for victory, unrelenting. If anything has surprised me, it has been America's restraint since the attacks. After losing over 3,000 civilians, many Americans would have been happy to wipe Afghanistan, Iraq, or any other threat off the face of the earth. That we attack our enemies judiciously with the goal of planting the seeds of democracy where nothing but fear and murder was known before is remarkable. Bill, Virginia, USA

Nice one bill, nothing like thinking for your self is there.
