Cash Saga

I visited my new favourite cafe in Auckland a few days ago. Tasty coffee and great ambiance. Moreover it has a funky, retro-type decor and plays my kind of music on its record player. 'Have you got Johnny Cash,' I asked. The barista looked a little startled. 'Eh?' I repeated myself and still a blank. A little frustrated, I said again, more insistently. 'Cash, cash, have you any?' He furtively looked at the cash register. I suddenly realised where the conversation was going. 'No, no. I'd like some Johnny Cash music please.' Give me a break.

Russian Modus Vivendi

Russian drivers began using dash cams when they first came out as they were  most important for defense against scam artists who demanded payment for being hit. Now, director Dmitrii Kalashnikov has compiled the wildest of these videos into a length documentary, The Road Movie, which can be pre-ordered as a digital download, from March 6. Check it out the trailer.

                             I think this is a hot tip to be an anti social. Yeah right.

Disco Ball Saga

An artist Benedetto Bufalino made the rotating drum of a cement mixer into a giant disco ball! He parked his truck on the streets as part of an installation in Montreal, Quebec, Canada…a good soundtrack and some well-aimed lights and a good time was had by all.

Reputation Intact?

It seems slightly bizarre that a Swedish television channel decided to protect the identity of a seagull that was saved from the subway.

Unwanted Intruder

I think without the bus, they would've just recorded another mundane video with a few thousand views. Instead, they get something that went viral with half a million views. Yeah right.

Wine and Cheese?

An interesting research shows that even when men are in their late 40s, they carry on looking at the profiles of women age 20 to 24 (women, by contrast look at older men's profiles as they get older). Where do 50-year-old men get this impression that they could date a 23-year-old? When New York magazine looked at the careers of 10 leading actors, it found that as they aged, their onscreen love stories didn't. Take Liam Neeson. In 1990, he appeared alongside Frances McDormand, who was five years younger than he's. By the time he starred in "Third Person" in 2013, the 61-year-old Neeson's lover was played by 29-year-old Olivia Wilde. We are socialised into thinking that men are like wine, they get better with time. Whereas women are like cheese, they get blue veins and start to stink.

What really costs the country

I really need to get this off my chest. Here's why am I so angry: I go and take $50 out of an ATM. I drive to various bakery, dairy, takeaways, other outlets even at a gas station. Usually I take note of what happens when the amount that gets run up on the till, or if the till even gets opened. This afternoon, I was in a dairy and I was 5th in line and all of us paid in cash. It was roughly $53 cash spent in 15 minutes and not once did I see an amount rung up on the till. So Mr Taxman. I'd appreciate it if you could add up how many millions of dollars these places are costing the country every year in unpaid taxes. Yeah right.
