Extended Washing Cycle

Last time I was using a washing machine in a farm, it delayed multiple times, probably down to the low water pressure.

Then my own washing machine played up, it took 3 hours before it would finish, despite having trying to stop it.  This time was probably down to overloading.

The washing machines are too smart.

Rebus Principle

In the BBC Secret History of Writing, it reminded us that we spoke much longer than we wrote.  And when we invented writing, we did not invent a symbol for everything, so we borrowed what we had invented, and some has evolved into Sarabit, Alphabet and Hiragana.  So any anomaly of any any languages, we can just pin them all on this Rebus Principle.

Influenced by the advertisement, I bought a bag of giant wotsits.  It really isn't that big...

Suzuki SV650

The long await test ride was met with disappointment.  The SV650 has a very low bar Z650 to beat, and still fail. Z650 was adequate, and SV650 was basic...  The only nice things I can say about the SV650 is that it is a motorcycle and it moves.

Suzuki Katana

For the sake of curiosity, I test rode the Katana.  Katana is quite ugly, but when you are riding it, you are not looking at it.  Katana's specification matches up with Speed Triple very well.  It is powerful, turns on a dime, I have very few complains apart from its look.  It has all the potential for to be a hooligan bike.
