A Dargaville man has been charged with driving a ride-on lawnmower while drunk.The 52-year-old was seen by police driving through the Northland town at 9.30pm yesterday.He was stopped and asked to get the mower off the road. The police officer then discovered the man was a disqualified driver who had been drinking.

Northland police communications officer Sarah Kennett said the man recorded a breath test of more than twice the legal limit.

The lawnmower was impounded for 28 days and the man is to appear in Dargaville District Court this week facing charges of careless driving, driving while disqualified and driving with excess breath alcohol.

You have to love our police force. Impounding a lawn mower. In no way to I condone Drink Driving but charging someone for driving a lawn mower is pretty funny. Who is he going to mow down? The grass?

You are an Attentive Leader.

You are a Leader

Your solid grounding in the practicalities of life, along with your self-assuredness and your willingness to appreciate new things make you a LEADER.
You’re in touch with what is going on around you and adept at remaining down-to-earth and logical.
Although you’re detail-oriented, this doesn’t mean that you lose the big picture.
You tend to find beauty in form and efficiency, as opposed to finding it in broad-based, abstract concepts.
Never one to pass on an adventure, you’re consistently seeking and finding new things, even in your immediate surroundings.
Because of this eagerness to pursue new experiences, you’ve learned a lot; your attention to detail means that you gain a great deal from your adventures.
The intellectual curiosity that drives you leads you to seek out causes of and reasons behind things.
Your confidence gives you the potential to take your general awareness and channel it into leadership.
You’re not set on one way of doing things, and you often have the skills and persistence to find innovative ways of facing challenges.
You are well-attuned to your talents, and can deal with most problems that you face.
You are balanced in your approach to problem-solving, not letting your emotions hold you up.
You prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the air until the last minute.

If you want to be different:
There’s more to life than the practical - take some time to daydream and explore the aesthetic sides of things.
how you relate to others
You are Attentive

Because you like spending time with others, understand their feelings, and often know what is best for them, you are ATTENTIVE.
Some people are merely concerned about others, but you take action, helping people when you have the opportunity.
Although you care about others, you are hesitant to trust them to act in the best way on their own.
You don’t let your concerns with people go unnoticed: if someone has hurt your feelings, that person will hear about it.
People energize and excite you—you are able to have fun and be yourself when you’re around others.
You also learn a lot about yourself by talking things out with people, even if you don’t always share things that are important to you.
You have a strong sense of right and wrong, and you’re not hesitant to express yourself.
Understanding the dynamics of a situation is an important skill that you have, and you often intervene to clarify things for others.

If you want to be different:
You care about people, but finding the ones you can truly trust will allow you to get closer to them.

While you have strong opinions about what is right and wrong in the world, you risk coming across as judgmental—be sure to consider different perspectives when voicing your opinion.

The first photo is from my kitchen window while I was cooking dinner, it is a reflection of my other window which looks out directly at uni (as seem in picture two).

What can I say?

Whilst this computer may look like a terrible genetic engineering accident, it is actually a fully working linux machine which has never let me down.

Processor: A legendary Pentium II MMX @ 300MHz
Memory: A whopping 160mb
Hard Disk: 5,202,548,000 bytes of storage [5.2 gig]
Operating System: Linux slackware, 2.4.20 Kernel

The machine has everything [52x cdrom, hard disk, motherboard, psu] all encased in a highly technically architectured Selleys No More Gaps case. Somewhat shoddily too I might add, the architect severely lacked an eye for detail, oh well shit happens.

A Fantastic machine for coding [was used for C++, Java, Ruby, Perl], web serving [has an ancient version of apache installed] or just for putting on your mantle piece and impressing visitors who can’t work out what the f__k it is, or why you would ever want it.

PICK UP ONLY.

One of my friends has a different video of this stunt. But I never knew that this would hit you tube.

From what I know both guys were brusied, sore, and cut afterwards but no major injuries.

I wonder if this works for university level math too?

Following on from my post on Christian videos a few days ago, I accidentally stumbled upon some from my own church.

There is a lot from my youth group here.

And finally, I don’t know if I should laugh, cry, or what, but someone leaked video of me performing Weird Al’s White & Nerdy at church camp last year.

I don’t know how exactly to describe this, nuts? Cool? Insane? Lucky?
