A friend sent me this. Some may have seen it. But I like it.
How to give a cat a pill
1) Pick cat up and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat’s mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. As cat opens mouth pop pill into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow. Continue reading “How to give a cat a pill”

I haven’t really got a thing about people in wheelchairs and mobility buggies but this made me smile.

They can’t touch you for it, apparently but this guy, going about his business, took up virtually the width of his side of the road.
Filmed in Wincanton, Somerset. I just have to admire his independent “sod you lot” spirit.
Like the way he’s wearing a high-vis jacket – as though the carpet doesn’t make him obvious enough!
Those who have recently visited would have noticed our ‘informal’ mass transport system, more commonly referred to as ‘black taxis.’
Unlike taxis which you are familiar with these take the form of 14-24 seater minibuses, ignore most road signs, rules and regulations, are often (very) poorly maintained and are all privately owned, needless to say routes are closely guarded and turf wars often break out.
Here’s an example of two smaller operators having an argument. Continue reading “Taxi wars (Caption competition)”
She looked at her hands. The broken nail marred the perfection of her beautiful manicure. She hated the jagged line and the sheer horror of it all struck her again.
It had been stupid, careless and unnecessary. She knew what was at risk as she looked at the parcel in front of her. She thought it was flowers. Well, when the postman had asked her to sign for the package she had examined it carefully and Interflora was quite obviously what she had noticed. It couldn’t wait; there were flowers inside and waiting until tomorrow, her birthday, was not an option.
The scissors were obviously and annoyingly not in the designated drawer in the kitchen so she had attacked it with her bare hands. Damn the children, they never ever replaced these things in the right place. Could have been the cleaner, she mused. Whatever, they were not to hand and this was not unusual.
The beauty salon were understanding and appreciated that she really could not contemplate turning up at her birthday party with one nail awry. Quite out of the question they had agreed and her appointment was arranged for ten. At least they understood the ghastliness of the situation; something that her husband singularly failed to grasp when she phoned him to explain why she couldn’t stay at home to have the boiler fixed.

We currently have the 2010 edition of Idols S.A. (yawn!) playing out down here. I was recently told a funny true story.
During the auditioning stages the judges attempt to ease the contestant’s nerves by engaging in small talk, you know the stuff, where are you from? what do you do? etc.
Here’s how it went; Continue reading “Idols S.A.”
Here’s an article from a columnist in my regular Sunday read, I either love his stuff or hate it, I enjoyed this one and thought that you may too!
What do you get when you add
1 litre Brandy + 2 litre Coke + 3 litre Toyota
(Clue the answer has 2 bulls in it 🙂 ) Continue reading “Simple arithmetic”
Kalula Air is a budget airline over here, their marketing is fun, their business approach lighthearted and almost every ad of theirs that I see or hear makes me smile.
During March / April this year they declared themselves “the Un-Official carrier of the you-know what.”
They were forced to withdraw the campaign, not to be outdone they bought a dog, christened the dog Sepp Blatter and flew the dog around the country, they then announced that they were,
“The official airline of Sepp Blatter” 😆
Anyhow, that all old news what do you think of this?
