Priorities

So Toyota has created a robot that plays the violin. The robot's been getting a lot of attention from the geek press.

However, I think the best comment I've heard was from my wife -

How about an SUV that gets more than 30 mpg?

Chicken lorry crash causes chaos

This made me laugh. Sounds like a scene from the Muppets - 3000 chickens make a jailbreak on their way to the slaughter house.

Scotland the Bear

When Nathan turned one recently Liz and I bought him a bagpiper bear. We decided to name him "Scotland the Bear" after the pipe tune "Scotland the Brave".

I thought that Scotland the Bear should have his own song too, and so here are words to Scotland the Bear, set to the tune of Scotland the Brave.

There is a bear that I know
Wears just the kilt down below
Bagpipes and drums are
His favourite thing
This bear is very special
Plays the pipes in any weather
You never have to wonder whether
This bear’s a Scot

Glasgow or Aberdeen,
There’s no place he has nae been
Wherever he goes
You will hear the pipes being played
Even in the crummy weather,
Scotland is his hame forever,
Chasing haggis through the heather,
Scotland the Bear
