inkscape and kufi

So I've tried to make a tutorial video for using inkscape to make kufi.
this is my first attempt, a bit long and rambling without a script and without editing.. arghghghgh! I hear you scream in agony, but I thought maybe i'll make it more polished later
this is the link:

Re: Exageration

If it's too far-fetched for you to fetch then I'll fetch it for you!
... Just don't blame me if your ability to fetch deminishes or atrifies from lack of use!

Exageration

Exageration isn't a malody its an art-form!

Blargh

Can't sleep!
Fizzy head and bubbly grumbly guts!
Too much coffee 2day I think. Grrr how stupid 2 poison myself like that !

I keep quiting coffee then going back to it.
Am I weak (yeh I know I am but for the sake of posing a question) or am I stupid?

On the other hand, maybe I'm pointing the finger at the wrong consumable! Could it be the super cheesey pizza gurglifying my guts? (5 slices for lunch 2ish slices for dinner). Naah, just had another 'gut glug', and it def felt cafinated,just slightly like IBS + mild nausia. Why would anyone willingly do this to themselves? Just for the tasteofit!!!! (Sounds like a
successful advertising campaign to me NesCaFools!)

I think its time to try a different stimulant. Not tea, I find it nice (at best) but unstimulating, plus its too easy to get a bad cuppa around these parts.  I mean the tarik can be excellent if you find the right shop but it's rarely as hot as I like it, and if u want tea without gula, then u might aswell ask for steaming moon juice: the people around here will think your mad either way!

Anyone got suggestions? I heard of some leaf in south america they drink from a gourd which supposed to be an amazing stimulant with none of the usual 'crash & burn' side effects but really bitter flavour. (No, not that S.American leaf! Another one! I said stimulant not intoxicant...although, is coca leaf intoxicating or mind altering in it's natural state? I know many locals chew it with relatively mild results, but not sure how those results would be classified (surely any amount of halucination could not be considered a 'MILD' side effect).

The application form, fee and supporting documents for renewing an adult passport : Directgov - Travel and transport

WOW! UK passports are really expensive now!
£77 for basic service or £129 for fast track (in the UK)
If you wanna renew from abroad then double those numbers (aprox £160 or 760 RM)
