Monster

Today's lyric:

"The girls come crawling on all fours,
Banging on locked doors,
High cards call the tune.
I know, you know, they know, we all know,
Everybody's gonna burn down.."

Electric Light Orchestra: "Poker"
From the album: "Face the music"

Highlight of the weekend had to be an interlude in a colleague/friend's anniversary barbecue (against the weather forecast for the day) during which I was treated to a seriously fast run in his Dax Cobra, an absolute brute of a car, with a 5.7 litre Chevrolet engine under the bonnet and a sound to make your ears bleed.

(This is not actually their car, and the photos aren't of the best quality, but you get the idea...)

I've not (yet?) experienced such acceleration even on any motorbike I've ever ridden or been on.

It took hours to peel the grin off of my face afterwards...
