Mad taxi driver

Had to take my car to service today. While driving in my street Haugerudhagan which has a speed limit of 30 kmph a taxi came very close to my rear, and suddenly he passed me. I was driving at 30 kmph so I felt that I had to notify the taxi driver that I did not agree with his action. So I did the only thing I felt was right, used the horn and flipped my finger. The result: He flipped his finger as well while slowing down to about 30, I disagreed since he had been the one breaking the law, not me, so I flipped the finger once again. Then he stopped and got out of the car, a young Pakistani playboy looking driver. He walked towards my car.

“What should I do now” I thought, leaving only one option – I got out as well, ready for some action 🙂 He said “Why do you flipp your finger towards me????”, I responded like the gentleman I am “You broke the speed limit, I felt that I had to notify you about me disagreeing with your action kind sir!”. “I have passengers who are in a hurry!” he replied (still with enough time to stop and yell at me). I replied “I live in this street, I’m tired of cars speeding here” – leaving him with only a “doh!” and then he walked back to the car and speeded away.

So kind sir in taxi A9043 from Christiania Taxi, stop speeding

My blog is yet again updated

I’ve now updated my blog again, so now I’m up and running with version 1.9.3 “Rainforest” of B2Evolution http://www.b2evolution.net. It is superb I must say, quite easy to upgrade as well, no hassle! I had to to two things to make it as I wanted, first enable cross-posting againg. It sometimes happens that I post to the wrong blog, for instance a new cd in my rBlogonly-blog, not in Albums only. Then I need to be able to move it. A simple update of admin.php in the conf folder is enough. Then I had to transfer the youtube-plugin files again. No hassle, since I had the files in the backup-folder from the old one.

My latest book

“Islam for begynnere”, after I had read “Hvorfor jeg ikke er muslim” I felt that I had to find a book that told me more about Islam, so I stumbled over this book on sale. I learned quite a lot of the fundamentals in Islam, but have in mind when reading it that it is not a neutral book. By this I mean that it does take side, for instance when mentioning the crusades it is more like “the horrible crusades…”. I had hoped for a more like a encyclopedia form of the text, but anyhow, it is a short book, easy to read and therefore worth spending time reading.

I tried to find yet another book about Islam in the book store, but I gave up. It seemed to me that there are two categories, and only two “Why I love Islam” and “Why I hate Islam”. I want a book where I can understand more about why things are the way they are, not “Osama bin Laden is a muslim, hence all muslims are bad”. I simply do not believe that every person who is a muslim wants to conquer the world and kill all non believers, beat all women and so on…

Vazelina Bilopphøggers – Bedre hell’ all medisin!

When we where driving to Vestlandet for our easter vacation I started singing on “Aagot Stang”. Then, when refueling at Stryn I came across this cd costing only 60,- and I just had to buy it, because of Aagot Stang. We started listening to it, and soon realized that Eldar Vågan has one hell of a talent when it comes to writing lyrics, but also as a composer. Until I bought the cd we both thought that most of the tunes Vazelina plays are cover of more famous tunes but with their own lyrics, but that is not a fact. Eldar Vågan has in fact written quite a lot of tunes as well…

Vazelina

To bad that Viggo Sandvik no longer is vocalist in the band, after 25 years he retired, but before I really discovered them…doh! Read more at http://www.vazelina.no/

Men har du noen gang lufte på eksos frå en båtmotor i ferskvatten?
Slik en 2 og en halv hesters outboard i Mjøsa utved domkirkeodden
Kjinne vinddrag frå åker og eng og flatebygder rundt omkring.
Blæs bort stresset og uro i skrotten min, bedre hæll æll medisin

Other genious lyrics: “Hårete gåsunger”, “11 år uten kvinnfolk”, “En stor sølvgrå lastebil” and much more
