What, are you in Australia?

It was pretty annoying me earlier, but it seems to be working now. It's just that I hate how I have an Internet Connection that drops sometimes, because it never happened to me in the past.

I had a similar problem last month, perhaps it's some sort of maintenance, but then again I have Orange as my internet provider so i'm not surprised.

Verizon's been terrible with that for the last month and a half or so. It never used to drop this often, now it's 2/3 times a day minimum.

That's funny. Have them for my phone service and never had an issue. Now my internet provider Xfinity (Comcast) has been a little spotty as of lately, but usually is ok.

That's because Verizon FIOS and Verizon Wireless are two different facets of the company. I wish FIOS had Wireless quality service, they'd get no complaints.

When CART used to run at Michigan and Fontana back in the late '90s and early 2000s, they would hit 240 mph...and that was at the start-finish line. If I had to guess how fast they'd go with those cars, I would say between 260-270 mph. With the IndyCars we have today, probably 240 mph.

Wham!
Bam!
Someone poured whiskey on my cat, Splash
And lit him
He went "boof"
While he was on my bed

I tried to put him out with a broom
My goitre problem got in the way (I sleep naked?)
Very quickly

Ouch
Ouch
Ouch
Ouch

In four colours

Ey up!
One morning
There's loot at my place
It's my shit wrapped in plastic
Horse's in fishnets
Spare a drop in one's mouth

It's a very grand beer dance
I like my beer in a big glass
And spew

Ooo
Ooo
Ooo
Ooo

Come on you Indians in your igloos

That's life for me
Repeat twice...

Me
Repeat four times...

That's life for me
Repeat twice...

Ey up!
The mother
Is larger than a panel
What a vibration
And a voyage through passion

Be my dirty passenger
And ride in my lime Combi
You are King of the divan

Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh

I'm King of the divan
That's life for me
Repeat twice...

Ey up!
Occupy me
Touch my trinkets
Touch my little house plant
It's not today that I wish to talk of tambourines
Or the head of a mannequin

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

That's life for me
Repeat thrice...

Ey up!
My Nana's the best
She's bizzarre
Marry me
And carry my case
Lever me onto the bar
My life force will come for a grand cocktail

Oh yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

Dance on the plate
That's life for me
My life for me

The actual lyrics don't make much sense either, to be honest...

Wam! Bam! (self-explanatory)
Mon chat Splash, (my cat Splash)
Gît sur mon lit a bouffé sa langue (lies on my bed, ate his tongue)
En buvant dans mon whisky (while drinking my whisky)
Quant à moi, peu dormi, vidé, brimé, (on my side, slept little, empty, disappointed)
J'ai dû dormir dans la gouttière (I had to sleep in the gutter)
Où j'ai eu un flash (where I had a flash)
Ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh! (oo, oo, oo, oo)
En quatre couleurs (in four colours)

Allez-hop, un matin, (let's go, une morning)
Une louloute est v'nue chez moi, (a cute girl came to my place)
Poupée de Cellophane, cheveux chinois (Cellophane doll, Chinese hair)
Un sparadrap, une gueule de bois (a Band-Aid, a hangover)
A bu ma bière dans un grand verre en caoutchouc (drank my beer in a big rubber glass)
Ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh!
Comme un indien dans son igloo (like an Indian in his igloo)

Ça plane pour moi (I'm doing fine (it's a figure of speech))
Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi moi moi moi moi
Ça plane pour moi
Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!
Ça plane pour moi

Allez-hop, la nana (let's go, the girl)
Quel panard, quelle vibration (what a foot, what a vibration)
De s'envoyer sur l'paillasson (to end up on the doormat)
Limée, ruinée, vidée, comblée (worn down, bankrupt, empty, satisfied)
You are the King of the divan (tu es le roi du couch, literally)
Qu'elle me dit en passant (she told me passing by)
Ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh!
I am the King of the divan (je suis le roi du couch)

Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi moi moi moi moi
Ça plane pour moi
Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!
Ça plane pour moi

Allez-hop, t'occupe, t'inquiète, touche pas ma planète (let's go, don't worry, don't worry, don't touch my planet)
It's not today que le ciel me tombera sur la tête (ce n'est pas aujourd'hui that the sky will fall on my head)
Et que l'alcool me manquera (and that I'll miss alcohol)
Ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh!
Ça plane pour moi

Allez-hop, ma nana (let's go, my girl)
S'est tirée, s'est barrée (left, went away)
Enfin c'est marre a tout cassé (had enough, broke everything)
L'évier, le bar, me laissant seul (the sink, the bar, leaving me alone)
Comme un grand connard (like a big asshole)
Ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh!
Le pied dans le plat (it was a big mistake (literally, the foot in the plate, but it's also a figure of speech))
