Coffee cup exploded in car

by Stanley, July 8, 2009

I’ve always been very careful when handling edibles and liquids in my car. So does my wife and kid, or so they promised. Being a coffee junkie, it’s a daily routine where I drive to my favourite coffee shop for a take away cuppa. I have a basket permanently placed on the front passenger car mats and I carefully put my cup of coffee in it. Today, my daughter was in hyperactive mood and when my car was stationary while I hopped out to get buy something for dinner, she crossed over to the front passenger seat. Her foot slipped and stepped right onto my cup of coffee. The cup literally exploded. Her foot is drenched in coffee. My car was a mess. On the way home, the coffee stench - yea, coffee stinks when spilt onto fabrics - was terrible. I left the car doors open to prevent the stench from being trapped. I’ll drive to the cleaners first thing tomorrow and see what can be done.

Broadband back on its feet again

Seriously, I don’t think I’m [...]

July 8, 2009
Streamyx started to give me problems last night. Connections to both international and local websites are timing out left and right. TMNET, we have a problem! Never a week goes by without Streamyx screwing with my internet connection. I depend on the internet for a living and I always say to myself, right profession wrong place. [...]

7th straight Wimbledon finals for Federer

July 3, 2009
Yup! As I write this, Federer is in the finals of 2009 Wimbledon having beaten Tommy Haas in straight sets. Haas gave Federer a five-set scare in the French Open last month. I suppose he couldn’t reproduce the form here facing Federer on grass. Federer plays his best on grass. Of course last month’s French Open [...]
