The Art of Driving

Black Box Recorder - The Art of Driving
Sarah Nixey - Luke Haines

La la la, la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la

You’re quite precocious
I know which button should be pressed
Let’s go out driving
I’ll wait until you’ve passed your test
We can get a hood down
Throw away those learner plates

You got the hang of steering
Now try stepping on the brakes

You’ve been driving me too fast
You’ve been pushing me too hard
You’ve been taking things too far
Who do you think you are?

La la la, la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la

Do you believe in love at first sight?
Do you believe in fate?
I believe the good things
Only come to those who wait
We’ve got to plan the journey
Eliminate all mistakes
Take the scenic route
It’s called the art of driving

Maybe wait until the summertime
Maybe wait until December
Because a heartfelt seduction
Lasts a life time

You’ve been driving way too fast
You’ve been pushing way too hard
You’ve been taking things too far
Who do you think you are?

It’s called the art of driving
The art of driving
It’s just the art of driving

La la la, la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la

I wish you’d learn to slow down
You might get there in the end
Don’t think the accelerator pedal
Is a man’s best friend
You don’t have to break the speed limit
You don’t have to break your neck
Another dead boy-racer
Cut out from the wreak

You’ve been driving me too fast
You’ve been pushing me too hard
You’ve been taking things too far
Who do you think you are?

Maybe wait until the summertime
Maybe wait until December
Because a heartfelt seduction
Lasts a life time

It’s called the art of driving
It’s called the art of driving
It’s called the art of driving
The art of driving
It’s called the art of driving
It’s called the art of driving
Just the art of driving
It’s just the art of driving
The art of driving
The art of driving
It’s called the art of driving
It’s called the art of driving
The art of driving
The art of driving
The art of driving
It’s called the art of driving
It’s called the art of driving

Ozwald Boateng: Why style matters

In the vein of Simba Tango’s Tailored for Tango post

Two places at once

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

One of the problems of being a man of many parts is that every so often one part collides and gets in the way of another. In this case it is my camera and 3 tonnes of fireworks colliding with the Cork Tango festival. It just so happens that the National Lottery Skyfest fireworks display, to be held this year in Limerick, and the Cork Tango festival ball are both on the night of Saturday 13th March.

That being said the fireworks will probably be over by 9 and the ball doesn’t start until 9.30-ish

People are quicker when reacting than when initiating

From BBC news

Scientists discovered that people move faster when reacting to something than when they perform “planned actions”.

Perhaps this explains some of the differences between leading and following. Why some followers bolt at the slightest intention and why some leaders are constantly frustrated.
