Go back ten years ago sunbeams dancing round

It has been to long that a sustained period of time off of work has been enjoyed by myself and Kelly but this week the beauty of free time will unveil its beautiful face. The weekend kicked off with a bang, we went to Kelly's brothers wedding which was grand although sometimes awkward as it was hard to escape the fact we are technically next in line and don't the family know it and ask several questions about it. Anyway I got suitably drunk, full of cake and enjoyed the general wedding ambiance.
We stayed in the hotel overnight and joined the family for a hangover squelching fry up the next morning. We headed back to Kelly's parents afterwards to nurse our hangovers in front of the Grand Prix which we mostly slept through. However newlyweds Daniel and Hannah turned up to do some post wedding admin and Daniel took us out in the Wedding vehicle of choice; a jumped up Ford Mondeo, I mean the 3.0 litre V6 Jaguar XF, which is essentially a Mondeo with more knobs on. Nevertheless, I do enjoy a nice car and this was it, the speed and acceleration was immense even though you felt like you were sat in the smoking room of a gentlemans club. You could seriously do to 170mph top speed and light up a pipe at the same time, beautifully smooth and quiet.
Still not my choice of car though, it just isn't quite unique enough as a Jaguar should be, it really does from the outside look like a Mondeo slept with a lexus on a pile of chrome.

Anywho, its technology of the week time, this week bionic limbs! ...for a sick Goose.

Betty the Goose was disappointed when she woke up from the operation to find she could now walk but possesed no bionic super powers or retractable laser systems. Although something of a lame duck, or goose if you will, this technology shows promise for the future, i'd like some sort of turbo foot upgrade.

The speed and acceleration WERE immense, surely...
