Pub news.

It was packed in the pub again. But, as Mondays' crowd were all pre-booked, this appeared to be off the cuff, so to speak.

Last Wednesday, Paul, the landlord went shooting and the pub was packed. Today, he was on the shoot, albeit beating and the pub was packed. Does Paul going out for the day, and the pub being packed seem coincidental, or is it the "Chairmans'" mischievous mind!? I actually suspect the latter, but I will continue to monitor the situation as the shooting season progresses.

In other news, Kellie, Pauls wife started putting up the Christmas decorations today. Photos of the decorated pub to follow.

Joke Tuesday.

Simple home remedies that work

AMAZING SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES: THESE REALLY WORK!!


1. TO AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES, GET SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP.

2. TO AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET SEAT- USE THE SINK.

3. FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND BLEED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR VEINS. [REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER.]

4. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON.

5. IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF LAXATIVES - YOU'LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH.

6. YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

7. IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

DAILY THOUGHT:

SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING, BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN YOU PUSH THEM DOWN THE STAIRS.

Pub news.

I arrived at the pub at opening time to find the dining area packed. I checked my watch. Yep 12 noon. "When did this lot get here?" I asked Paul. "11.20", he replied.

Apparently they had booked their meals in advance.

The group were on a walking trip and consisted of sprightly pensioners, and they needed to be, as the route they took is a 3 mile round trip with two hefty hills involved!

They left at about one o'clock, only to be followed in by 15 older pensioners, some well into their eighties. They, too, had a good meal. The power of the silver pound!

Bonkers EU!

Now, i'm no musician, nor am I a scientist. But, I am in possession of more than a modicum of common sense, which is more than can be said for those lunatics in the EU that run the asylum (and our Government).

The latest nutty rule emanating from this nuthouse is that string instruments cannot be made with strings made from the gut from beef cattle. This is to ensure that cattle infected with BSE cannot enter the food chain!

When did you last hear of anyone chewing on a violin string?

The other side to this is the amount of firms that will go to the wall in Europe and the UK because of some loonies in Brussels!

IT'S TIME WE GOT OUT!!!

That made me feel better!

Apologies.

I have just spent nearly three days trawling back through my old posts. This version, the publog2 started on the 21st Feb 2007, so, I am coming up to five years of utter drivel, interspersed with a joke each Tuesday.

What I did notice during my trip back in time, was; (a) My posts have become fewer, and (b) The numbers of readers has dropped. This could be explained by two factors. (1) I've become boring, or (2), my subject matter has been mostly centred around the pub and jokes.

I did notice a lot more general content in previous posts. I must start that again!

Some of you will recognize this. I painted this 32 years ago!

Opinons.

I'm thinking about buying a Kindle, as it's the only way I could read books. Is it easy to use, and how much are the books?

Comments would be most appreciated.

Check for Alzheimer's - Pretty Amazing

The following was developed as a mental age assessment by the School of Psychiatry at Harvard University

Take your time and see if you can read each line aloud without a mistake.

The average person over 50 years of age cannot do it!

Family stuff.

My youngest cousin and her husband came down to visit today with their daughter, Faye-Nicole. Aged 17 months, she is a bundle of joy.

Lorna-Jane, you and Glen have a beautiful daughter!

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.

General drivel.

As you all know, I am not a cat fan. This post is for two of my good bloggy friends, KB,and Mickle in NZ.

A good friend of mine in the pub sent me this.

Her Bengal Cheetah kitten got rebuked by mother and went into sulk mode and watched the telly!

My son told me - Dad, I would like to have a tattoo.
I told him - No, nobody has one in our family ... and you are not having one !!!
He asked me - Why not ? All my friends have a tattoo !

I told him - It would be a stain on your body !
He pleaded with me - Dad, please, please, just a Cartoon Character on the belly ?

And after many hours of discussion I gave in and decided to let him.
After all, he was a young man with his own freedom of choice ...

and I thought ...
a Cartoon Character ... is probably not so bad!

Garden news.
