What is the Blockwork Road?
The Blockwork Road runs from the post box on the telephone pole (on the Old Weymouth to Lulworth Road that passes north of Ringstead Bay) to Holworth House. It is 250 metres of road laid in two strips of interlocking concrete blocks.
25 Years and still going strong
The first sections of the road were placed 25 years ago. The most recent sections were placed 10 years ago. The only maintenance required has been cutting back the vegetation either side of the road and replacing shoulder material over a short section where it has been dislodged by vehicles being driven off-the-blocks.
Apart from the section placed 10 years ago, it is difficult to determine the relative age of the sections. The only discernable wear is near the post box where hard sharp material from the adjacent loose surface has abraded the surface of the blocks through the passage of vehicles - but even this is only slight. The section placed 10 years ago is obvious because it is of a different type of block.
There is no apparent reason why the blocks should not last at least another 25 years - or even longer.

Dalila Unfortunate, Vocals, Programing
Rasputin Ecks, Lead Guitar
Sur Darius, Rhythm Guitar, Vocals
Biography
Blood Gatherer is a Heavy Metal and Experimental artist from the Transylvania Region of Romania, present day Ţara Moţilor. Blood Gatherer is a front name for the musician Hawk McLancaster Esq. who was resposible for all of the bands music, mixing, and production until recently. McLancaster has been described by the local media as a reclusive individual who partakes in bizzarre rituals in his abandoned old world Castle turned home. While not much is known of McLancasters history, it has been reported that he can trace his ancestry back to Elizabeth Bathory-Nadasdy, the Hungarian Blood Countess.
In October of 2007, Hawk McLancaster Esq. added three members to the Blood Gatherer line-up. Dalila Unfortunate is the groups female vocalist, and sometimes does programming and keyboards along with McLancaster. Rasputin Ecks, sometimes called "The Facemelter" because of his blistering guitar solos, is the lead guitarist for the band. The third member added was Sur Darius to play rhythm guitar and provide back-up vocals.
Like McLancaster, very little is known about these new members of the band. It is believed that these new members are not from Romania, as McLancaster traveled exstensively looking for new band mates and a new translator.
Controversy
After extensive touring in late 2002 McLancaster had an altercation with fellow Romanian rock group Monster Brigade and Escapees of the Universe. The altercation reportedly occurred at a Transylvanian music award conference when Hawk McLancaster Esq. claimed he would "Crush the seed of unborn children." Hawk McLancaster has been reported as saying "This controversy is more like a NON-traversy."

Cafezinho is how people in Brazil usualy call the black cofee.
Wherever you go in Brazil, the minute you walk in the door, someone will pop the question "Queres um cafezinho?" (do you want a cafezinho?).
Here is a recipe for making the Brazilian coffee standard: For each cup of water, use a heaping Tbsp of good coffee ground for espresso. The recipe also calls for sugar to taste. Add the water to the pan, add the sugar and dissolve well. Bring to boil over medium heat. When the water and sugar mixture boils, add the coffee powder, stir well and pour through a traditional cloth coffee strainer (or a paper filter). Pour immediately into a tiny cup. Addig a little hot milk makes a cafezinho con leite (little coffee with milk)
