» ‎ BHBlog

The other day, as I was sitting in this exam that I was not all prepared for, a thought hit me. It dawned on me how sitting in an exam with nothing to do felt similar to traveling on a passenger air flight in economy class with terrible airhostesses and no in-flight entertainment. A thought, [...]

The other day my friend, a very mature and responsible driver found out that there was a speeding ticket against him.. Apparently my friend felt the need to speed and an unmarked police-car with a radar clocked got him on camera enjoying the adrenaline rush. Very good I say, take them to the side off [...]
