Essex Porsche

The rather unpopular Ford Capri replacment, the Probe was dubbed the Essex Porsche for being an appropriate status symbol at the Dagenham cruise circuit. This rather ugly motor shares it's chassis with, amongst others, Mazda vans.

Nowadays can include any crap wannabe sports car, but especially Fords, due to their now shut car plant at Dagenham, Essex.

Dudes! We got the driver himself in his Essex Porsche here, totally rev your engine and don't race him.

Essex Dogs

Many Fords were made at the lovely Dagenham, Essex plant. Over the years these cars and their revolutionary levels of soft, soft body work and inconsistent panel gaps became known as Essex or Dagenham Dogs.

The Ford Fiesta 1.6S MK3 was one of the only models not made in Germany or Spain, but because of it's combination of trim and engine had to be completed in the SVT (Special Vehicles Team) department at Dagenham. Do not buy this model, it can rust it's chassis rails through in about 3 years due to a bizarre lack of rust proofing.

I would guess they just plain thought someone else had sealed that bit. Perish the thought they make Police cars and Ambulances there.

Dagenham Dogs

Polite term for English built Fords, especially the XR series of Baby Killers and joy rider chariots.

Check out The Geezer in his XR3, flipping everyone the finger and trying to race everything from M3's to old women.

Intel

Who gives about micro-electronics when the first tv ad this company made had a bus load of guys in pastel colored NBAC suits who'd leap out and start doing bad dance moves any where, any time, with no warning?

That's some shit to live up to, AMD.

Hyperthreading 64 bit OS compatible on die first level cache in a super special heat transferring package still doesn't mean much when it's running Windows, m'lad.

Calvin and Hobbes

Kickass monster fixated, transmorgifier time travel machine, boy and imaginary tuna-loving tiger adventures with most excellent art from Bill Waterson's brain.

"You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocketship underpants don't help."

Urban Exploration

Like hiking, but in other people's buildings. Most urban adventures take place in derelict buildings, but also includes any location you can access without forcing entry.

Remember a joint and a camera to celebrate reaching the summit of your local really tall building.

Probably started by students living in halls in really big old universities who liked to explore all the tunnels and hatchs. Has even been featured on shows like Buffy and X-Files, firmly locating it in the "not cool, but fun" section of modern culture.

When urban exploring you should carry ID and consider if you have any suspicious articles on you, even a penknife can constitute a weapon if you manage to really make a dick out of yourself.

pinball song

The Pinball song from Sesame Street is scientifically proven to be the best song in the world, teaching kids counting and rhythm, funk and awe.

The second best would be the Number Song by Dj Shadow.

Ever notice how the repetitive 30 second spots between the rest of the show emulated adverts? In fact so much so that no-one's allowed to advertise during Sesame Street.
