Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday?
Sat puz – 2
A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven’t eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?
Saturday puzzle – 1
This is an unusual paragraph. I’m curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching! With victory, your mood will zoom to laughing out loud! X’s and O’s to you!
Oh dear!
It looks like the Aussies are getting the British disease. All Quantas flights are cancelled due to a major strike. It could be Britain!! At least they waited for Liz and Phil the Bubble to leave! 🙂
Any comments from Aussie posters?
Update.
The airline has not been directly closed by a major strike. Qantas will lock out those taking industrial action on Monday and have closed down the airline as of now. None the less, the comparison with obstinate British unions remains.

Where would we be without Mike Hussey?

I only managed to watch the last 30 overs, and I’ll concede that most of the others did their bit, but without Mr Cricket’s unflappability we would have been hard pressed to win the 3rd ODI against South Africa.
From what I saw of it, a great match, with good performances on both sides.
Fair result, Soutie?
Heya, na na na

So there I was watching the television over the weekend and a promo comes on for Joanne Lumley and her trip down the Nile.
Looks like it could be a good series (okay, I know that most here have probably seen it already but we haven’t)
Back to the promo, in the background I hear one of my favourite tunes of all time, so I start googling to find the artist and hear a bit more than the BBC aired.
Couldn’t find it, it’s not on the DVD credits nor the BBC Knowledge website, I asked Mrs. Soutie just now, she says “oh ja, Heya na na na”
We found it and wanted to share…
Here’s the full version without the humanoids Continue reading “Heya, na na na”
Walking Eagle
On a recent trip to the United States, Tony Blair, Ex-Prime Minister of the UK, addressed a major gathering of Native American Indians. He spoke for almost an hour on his plans for a CarbonTrading Tax for the UK and Europe
At the conclusion of his speech, the crowd presented him with a plaque inscribed with his new Indian name – Walking Eagle.
A very chuffed Tony then departed in his motorcade, waving to the crowds.
A news reporter later asked one of the Indians how they came to select the new name given to Tony Blair.
They explained that Walking Eagle is the name given to a bird so full of shit that it can no longer fly.
By the dangly bits!
An elderly woman walked into the Royal Bank of Canada one morning with a purse full of money. She wanted to open a savings account and insisted on talking to the president of the Bank because, she said, she had a lot of money.
After many lengthy discussions (after all, the client is always right) an employee took the elderly woman to the president’s office. Continue reading “By the dangly bits!”
Hello Again
Just thought I would drop by and say hello again to all and sundry. I haven’t shot myself yet, or been shot and still very active in field archery, so much so that I managed to get myself banned by the local club for voicing an opinion in their newsletter, I got one of those ‘on behalf of the committee’ letters written by the chairmans lackey, and then found out that none of the committee knew what this plonker had done, so I up and joined another club, 40 minutes away from home, but with beautiful woods I can shoot in every Sunday.
The winter field league has now started, where fools like me go out every Sunday, get freezing, soaked to the skin or both to shoot a round of 12 targets all over the south coast, the thing is we must be just ever so slightly nuts!
I am still fighting the good fight and loosing as usual. Cameron I feel is just another lying two faced cheating thief who has denied us the referendum as he thinks (that would be a first!) that he knows better, and understands what the the British public wants. That coming from a millionaire who has never had to struggle for anything in his life, basically he knows nothing except how to lie and cheat.
Still doing care homes and sent a letter to the above creep as we had an inspection in April 2011 and I am still waiting for the report so that I can see where we need to do some more work to make my home better. The creep sent my letter to Burstow who then replied and sent it on to CQC, so I bet we come in for some very close scrutiny whilst some arsehole home owner gets away with blue murder.
My regards to Rick, Bearsy and co, so busy that I barely have time to sleep, so not around too much. Can’t wait to retire, only seven years to go and counting, I feel I am becoming mentally weary of trying to keep care homes on the straight and narrow and meet everyones needs, residents, relatives, staff, owners, CQC and stupid bloody politicians who couldn’t do my job in a million years, but know better than someone who has over 40 years experience.
So bye for now, grumpy old fieldshooter (ex-antipolitician, although still so on my own blogs!) signing off. Keep well and don’t let the bastard politicians grind you down………………….. vote them out!
