Some things never change.....
When top level guys look down, they see only sh-it;
When bottom level guys look up, they see only ass-holes...

My Sister came round with a very expensive camera and took a few photos around the garden. This is one of my favourites.

This blackbird has been with us for some years now, and demands currants at each visit.

I have the dreaded hiccups. Apart from holding my breath for half an hour, any cures

Di,our ever-so lovely soaker landlady was doing her usual shift the other evening when a couple came in to order some food and drinks. After taking the food order the gentleman ordered the drinks. He started with an orange juice. "Would you like that in a glass?", she asked.

Bucket perhaps?

Joke/ truth Tuesday.

One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut.

After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, "I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week."
The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, "I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week." The cop was happy and left the shop.
The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.



Then a Member of Parliament came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, "I can not accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week." The M..P. was very happy and left the shop. The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen M.P.s lined up waiting for a free haircut.



And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.

Subject: Silly banker


A Banker parks his brand new Porsche in front of the office to show it off to his colleagues.

As he's getting out of the car, a lorry comes speeding along too close to the kerb and takes off the door before zooming off.

More than a little distraught, the Banker grabs his mobile and calls the police.

Five minutes later, the police arrive. Before the policeman has a chance to ask any questions, the man starts screaming hysterically: 'My Porsche, my beautiful silver Porsche is ruined. No matter how long it's at the panel beaters it'll simply never be the same again!'

After the man finally finishes his rant, the policeman shakes his head in disgust.

'I can't believe how materialistic you bloody Bankers are,' he says. 'You lot are so focused on your possessions that you don't notice anything else in your life.'

'How can you say such a thing at a time like this?' sobs the Porsche owner.

The policeman replies, 'Didn't you realise that your right arm was torn off when the truck hit you.'

The Banker looks down in horror.

'F***ING HELL!' he screams........'Where's my Rolex????...

Thanks Mr. Farty!

The last few days have given us temperatures in the mid to high 70s. The humidity started to build and last night ended with the obligatory thunderstorm.

The rain was torrential for an hour,but at least it cooled the temperature. The gardens needed the water too. As I type it is raining and the thunder rumbles on in the distance.
