I'm just listening to an intesting interview on the radio with Stephen Twinings, who is the head of the Twinings tea company. I am quite a tea drinker myself, every afternoon when I get home from work I make a strong cup with some creatine in it (for my newly found bodybuilding hobby).
Getting to the point of this little post, I heard that tea actually takes 3 minutes to properly brew in the cup. Mr Twinings has said that pot tea can tend to be better because people generally let it sit for longer than when they put a teabag in a cup. This is because when you make tea in the cup, you can see the color change, and when it goes dark, you generally pull the tea bag out because it looks ready. Apparently, this is not long enough, and the tea still has some brewing to do after the water turns dark.
So, when I get home tonight, I will take the advice of Mr Twinings and leave the teabag in the cup for a couple of minutes longer.

Cleaning Your Car
Today is Sunday, the only day I get off at the moment, and is the day of washing the car. Above is a link to a really comprehensive thread on the Australian LS1 forum that covers everything about washing your car.
Interestingly, the guy who wrote it is perminantly banned.

Ghost Rider - Nutter On a Motorbike Doing 300kph+ On Public Roads
I came across these videos on the net the other day. This guy (or a group of guys) make videos of riding flat out around Sweden. There are about 4 ghostrider videos, and there are quite a few clips available on the net. The pictures below are taken from a clip featuring a 500hp turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa. He pops wheelies at over 300kph on public roads in daylight with traffic.
It's without doubt the most amazing footage I've ever seen. The best is the run around Stockholm, which goes for about 20 minutes and is flatout all the way. The guy has a death wish but it's very entertaining to watch and he really can ride. I have a couple of Ghost Rider videos on order from the local motorcycle shop, but they can also be purchased all over the internet.
