New Years Eve

Well another year has passed again and what I am doing? Not a lot as it happens. We will have to go out and do some shopping today and what excitement that will be. At least I have no work today so could have a lie in.

So just chilling out today and listening to some music. That will do, have a Happy New Year to anyone that reads this.

Can't sleep

I have not got to get up until 07.00 for work and here I am unable to get to sleep. It is 3.00 in the morning and I am up having a cup of tea. What a waste of good sleeping time. I will try to get back to bed later on but it is usually a waste of time. Oh well what the hell, I got my email read anyway!

As per the last post the snow came down in Wales yesterday.Thankfully it did not stay around in this part anyway. It rained heavily then snowed heavily and then rained again taking it away. and that was the weather forecast!

I have a long day in work today and then two off so I had better try and get back to sleep.

And a joke to round things off and lighten up a dull blog.

Gossip????
The country doctor was just returning from a delivery at an outlying cattle ranch, when he crossed paths with the town's gossip.

"Doctor Wilson, how is the Smith baby?"

"Well, the child was born without a penis."

"Oh my goodness!" said the gossip, and with a smile on her face, she turned to head into town to spread the news.

Before she could take off to spread the news, the doctor quickly grabbed her arm, bent his head over and whispered in her ear, "But she'll have a damn nice place to put one in 18 years!"

More snow?

Well back to work and the forecast is for a heavy snowfall in this area again today. It has not snowed yet but the sky is looking full of it so we will have to see.

What a busy day yesterday! We ran a Sunday service but there were enough people catching our buses for a Saturday service. The queues were massive and most buses ran late. I was bloody glad to finish yesterday that is for sure.

Its OVER

Christmas that is, all that money, all that rushing about and it is now over for another year. I have no kids to worry about so I wonder what all the fuss is over. Perhaps it is just me but OH! I would love to go away just one year away from all the crowds and fuss over just this one day. It is all far to commercialized these days.

The supposed celebration of a baby that was born to save the world has turned into an excuse to spend as much as we can and eat and drink to much. It will never end now as even this massive downturn the world has just been through has not stopped the spending. If that does not then nothing will.

I am no better because like others I have bought things that I do not need and cannot really afford but hey! that's what keeps the economy moving isn't it?

The snow has gone

Well at last after over a week the snow and ice have disappeared from the ground. It took a while but a very mild day yesterday and some rain have finally shifted it.

We have booked a meal at a pub today just for a change. I am back in work tomorrow and this will be a nice little break before going back.

Last night we finished off a bottle of Champagne that we had bought for our anniversary. I am not one for wine but we had asked for one that was not to dry and this one was quite pleasant. I would not rush back to buy another bottle of the stuff but it was very drinkable.

For anyone that does read this please be warned of a computer virus that is doing the rounds and attacking social network sites. It is the Koobface Virus and it starts when you click on a Christmas video link. Click on my link (safe) and read about it.

Boxing day

Well another day and another small note that no-one will read. But what the heck I can read it myself and realize that I should write less rubbish!

Yesterday we had a quiet day with my mother and today we are going to see Mary's mother for another quiet day. It may not be the most exciting time but we have never been exactly party animals anyway. I had a couple of whiskeys last night and that was enough for me.

I am back at work on Monday after the Christmas break. I have had a nice week off and although I cannot say I am delighted to be back well we all have to earn a crust and this is mine.

And a joke to round things off

The Newlyweds

A young couple decided to wed. As the big day approached, they grew apprehensive. Each had a problem they had never before shared with anyone, not even each other. The groom- to-be, overcoming his fear, decided to ask his father for advice. "Father," he said, "I am deeply concerned about the success of my marriage." His father replied, "Don't you love this girl?" "Oh yes, very much," he said, "but you see, I have very smelly feet and I'm afraid that my fiancee will be put off by them." "No problem," said dad, "all you have to do is wash your feet as often as possible and always wear socks, even to bed."

The bride-to-be, overcoming her fear, decided to take her problem up with her mom. "Mom," she said, "When I wake up in the morning, my breath is truly awful." Well, to him this seemed a workable solution. "Honey," her mother consoled, "everyone has bad breath in the morning." "No, you don't understand. My morning breath is so bad, I'm afraid that my fiancee will not want to sleep in the same room with me." Her mother said simply, "Try this. In the morning, get straight out of bed and head for the kitchen to make breakfast. While the family is busy eating, move on to the bathroom and brush your teeth. The key is, not to say a word until you've brushed your teeth." "I shouldn't say good morning or anything?" the daughter asked. "Not a word," her mother affirmed. "Well, it's certainly worth a try," she thought. The loving couple were finally married. Not forgetting the advice each had received, he with his perpetual socks and she with her morning silence, they managed quite well. That is, until about six months later. Shortly before dawn one morning, the husband wakes with a start to find that one of his socks had come off. Fearful of the consequences, he frantically searches the bed. This, of course, wakes his bride and without thinking, she asks, "What on earth are you doing?" "Oh, my," he replies, "you've swallowed my sock!"

Christmas Day

Well Merry Christmas to anyone who reads this today. There is as much chance of that as me going to the moon I guess but what the hell, Merry Christmas anyway.

I dropped my son off at the hospital yesterday as he had fallen over and smashed his knee cap and it was swollen badly. I thought he might damaged it badly but in the end and two and a half hours later it was just badly hurt and no permanent damage.

While he was there we went to see Mary's Mum and sister for a bit. We have not seen them for a couple of weeks as we had been away and then the snow came down. She was well and for someone of 95 years old she is remarkable.

OK that's it. There must be something better to do today! We are off to my Mums for the day.

Ice and wheelchairs

Well I managed yesterday to get my wife out of the house. We went to town to do some shopping, (Oh deep joy....) and then on to a much needed hospital appointment. By the time we got back home it was 5.30pm and the temperature had dropped like a stone.

Getting from the place I park the car to the short distance to our home was a bloody nightmare as the paths had frozen solid again. If you have never tried pushing a wheelchair on ice I suggest you try it sometime as an exercise in fear! You just know that you and the damn chair are going to go over.

As it was we did not but it was bloody close. After getting her settled in I took the car around to the back of the house to unload some stuff. There is a small slope there that has never given my problems in the past, but now the car is stuck there at the moment as when I tried to get out later the slope was iced up that badly I could not move. I just hope that it thaws a bit today.

Then my son went out and fell on the ice! His knee has come up like a balloon and I would have liked to take him to A&E but the car is stuck. So a couple of painkillers and a bandage and hope that it goes down the next day. If not he will have to get there somehow.

Still freezing

It is still bloody freezing out there and I still cannot get my wife out. As she is disabled we have a hell of a job even on normal days and it is for sure that she would fall in this weather.

It is supposed to be getting warmer today and we have a hospital appointment this afternoon so I hope that we can get out. She will be climbing the walls otherwise as my wife hates being stuck in. Especially as I have this week off!

I have not even put the Christmas cards around our neighbours yet and that is late even for me. I will have to do it today as well as wrap up the last of the Christmas presents for my nieces kids.

News at Xmas and money

How the fight started

My wife and I are watching "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" while we were in bed.

I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have sex?"

"No," she answered.

I then said, "Is that your final answer?"

She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, "Yes."

So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."

And then the fight started....

====

My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.

She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.'

I bought her a scale.

And then the fight started...

====

After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age.. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.

The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application

When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too.'

And then the fight started...

====

I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first."I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please."

He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?"

"Nah, she can order for herself."

And then the fight started...

Bitterly Cold

Well the bloody snow is still on the ground and I just cannot take my wife out shopping as she cannot get in the bloody car without slipping on the ground. So I will probably have to get out today and do it myself. Not that I mind that but all women like to do there own shopping don't they?

Last night we found blood in the urine of my wife. I thought that was very serious and it could be but it also be just an infection and we are going to have to find out today by getting the doctor over.

I have started to listen to WE7 a free music station. I love country music and we just cannot get stations over here. This one has all I need and I just have to put up with some occasional adver

Snow in Wales

Well we have finally had some of the white stuff here in South Wales. Not a lot by the standards of some parts of the country but it has scuppered some of our plans that is for sure. It might not be a problem to most but try getting a disabled person into a car when she cannot stand up in the house on her own when there is slippery snow on the ground.

We were meant to go and see her Mother today but if the snow stays on the ground that will be off I guess. The link is to some of the snow pictures in Wales today. Snow pictures

40 years

Well today my wife and myself celebrate 40 years of marriage. How did that happen? The time has flown by without my noticing it. We went away last weekend as noted in the blog and today we are just going for a meal in a local pub with my mother and our son Mark.

The weather is to damn cold to do much to be honest and we just want to keep warm and fed!

I am not in work now until after Christmas and I am glad of it. I have only had four day in this week but I must be getting old as even that bit has tired me out. I think the last weekend when we had late nights has caught up with me.

A COLD snap

Bugger, the weather has turned cold this week! It has not got much above freezing for the last couple of days and does not look like it will warm up any time soon. But at least over this part of the world we are not getting the snow. The eastern side of the UK is up to their neck in the damn stuff.

But at least one young bride got to the church on time with the help of kind people in her area. link

Funnies time

Well perhaps anyone who actually gets around to reading this will be bored by the usual drivel, so lets get a couple more jokes in here.

The local bar was so sure that its bartender was the strongest man around that they offered a standing $1000 bet. The bartender would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass, and hand the lemon to a patron. Anyone who could squeeze one more drop of juice out would win the money. Many people had tried over time (weight-lifters, longshoremen, etc.) but nobody could do it.

One day this scrawny little man came into the bar, wearing thick glasses and a polyester suit, and said in a tiny squeaky voice " I'd like to try the bet" After the laughter had died down, the bartender said OK, grabbed a lemon,
and squeezed away. Then he handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to the little man.

But the crowd's laughter turned to total silence as the man clenched his fist around the lemon and six drops fell into the glass. As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid the $1000, and asked the little man "what do you do for a living? Are you a lumberjack, a weight-lifter, or what?" The man replied "I work for the IRS."

"Mister, why doesn't this cow have any horns?" asked the young lady from a nearby city. The farmer cocked his head for a moment, then began in a patient tone, "Well, ma'am, cattle can do a powerful lot of damage with horns. Sometimes we keep'em trimmed down with a hacksaw. Other times we can fix up the young 'uns by puttin' a couple drops of acid where their horns would grow in, and that stops 'em cold. Still, there are some breeds of cattle that never grow horns. But the reason this cow don't have no horns, ma'am, is 'cause it's a horse."

Back to work

Well it has been a nice few days off but now the alarm has gone off at 04.30 and I am up and ready for another day in work. I will be in until Saturday and then off again until Christmas so I am looking forward to more time off.

It is our 40th anniversary next Sunday and we are celebrating by going out for a meal with our son and my Mother who is treating us to dinner in a local pub. I will have to get a bottle of champagne to go with that. I don't like the stuff but after all these years my wife deserves a treat.

My views on the area

So what was the area like? If you have never been to this side of the UK you will surprised at how flat it is. As I think it was Noel Coward who said when asked about Norfolk, 'very flat Norfolk'.

Well Lincolnshire and neighbouring Norfolk are flat making for good driving roads when space allows. If you like long open stretches with no traffic where the roads just beg for you to put your foot down you will love it. If you get frustrated at roads with to many speed cameras and drivers you cannot pass because the roads are to narrow you will not. There are more of the latter than the former I have to say.

It is if when God finished the UK he had enough of the dramatic mountains of Scotland and the wild beauty of Yorkshire and the hilly loveliness of Wales and decided it was time for some peace and quiet.

And that is what you get in this part of the world, peace and quiet. It just seems as if the pace of life is different in this place with the flat farmlands and the wide areas of country. We enjoyed the break.

The first day

We drove up to Birmingham to stay in an 'Express by Holiday inn that we had booked for a night. Of course we were a bit early so decided to drive into Birmingham centre to have a look at the German Market that was there.

It was quite a show with stalls containing German Christmas stuff right up the whole main street. We did not by anything but the whole thing was interesting and they were very busy. I have put in two photos taken on that day. Frankfurt Market

Then back to the hotel to book in and get to bed for the evening. To do that I had to drive through 'Brum' at peak hour and oh boy! Is it busy! I am used to driving in a city during peak hour as Cardiff gets heavily congested, but Birmingham is a whole different experience. Of course in Cardiff I know the short cuts and can often take a different route, and in Birmingham I really am a stranger, but even so that is one congested city.

To anyone looking to book one of these overnight type hotels I can recommend the 'Express by Holiday Inn'. The price for the two of us was £55 and that included breakfast and it was a very comfortable stay.

The second day

Breakfast was included in the price of the hotel so we stoked up on food and started the long haul across country to Skegness. I say long but is was only 130 miles. However a lot was not on Motorway so it took over four hours. Maybe not a lot to a truck driver but you need to drive long distances regularly to get used to them.

We booked into Butlins and went into Skegness to have a look around. Not a bad little town with a nice shopping centre. Then back to Butlins for our evening meal.

The meals in Butlins have improved a lot since the last time we stayed there that is for sure. We had a very nice selection and as we have paid for gold cabins a nice quiet dinning room as well.

Then on to the main event, the music. Ah the music of the 60's, still as good as it was all those years ago. The first one on was 'The Dakotas'. You might remember them better as 'Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas'. Without Billy of course they lost a bit but it was still a very good opening act.

And then onto Brian Poole and the electrics. It used to be the Tremeloes of course but hey! Things change. Brian Poole has been around now for 45 years and I am afraid it showed. He got a good reception but there is no doubt his voice is not what it was.

The last act was 'Hermans Hermits' and they were huge in the 60's with 24 hits in the charts. They were in fact very good but as Peter Noone was not there of course there was that voice of his missing and that was what made the group

However it was a good night and we have another two to go.

The third day

December 12th Saturday,

Today we drove into Lincoln for the day to have a look around. It is a very ancient city and you can still see the walls of the city in the shopping area. I like Lincoln but sometimes it is not easy get around with a wheelchair. There are some photos on-line here.

In the evening more sixties bands. The first one was 'Dave Berry and the Cruisers'. He had a massive hit with 'The crying game' and others and to be fair was very good last night. The voice that made that hit was still there and he had huge applause from the audience.

After that was 'The Fortunes' and they were good as well. One of there big hits was 'Here it comes again' and they sang a real variety of stuff as did all the bands this weekend.

The last and headline act was 'Gerry and the Pacemakers'. He of course was huge way back then and his hits 'Ferry across the Mersey' and 'You'll never walk alone' are still being sung today.

He is still the irrepressible Gerry from years ago and you can still hear that voice that made those huge hits, but 45 odd years of blasting out rock songs in smoky clubs have not done his voice any favours. However 45 years have not done any of us favours I guess and he was very good last night.

The last day

On Sunday we took a trip to Kings Lynn in Norfolk. We had never been there and it was supposed to be a pretty little place with a lot of history .Kings Kynn

In the unlikely event that anyone who knows the town reads this, they will no doubt say that I have missed all the real history of the place. We what we found was the biggest shopping centre that I have seen in such a small place! We parked up and wandered into town thinking that as it was a fairly small place there would not be a big shopping area.

The shops seemed to go on for ever and there must have been a couple of hundred of them. As it was near Christmas they were all doing good business as well. Mary loves to look around shops so we had to spend a bit in them!

In the evening we had our last night of sixties music. First we were treated if that is the right word to music by 'Gidea Park'. They specialise in music by The Hollies, the Beach Boys and The Everley brothers.

The music from all of these need incredibly tight harmonies and they just did not have them. They were not that bad I suppose and they even bought in one of the original Hollies to play with them. However I was not that impressed, but perhaps that is just me.

Next came the Tremeloes who's 'Silence is Golden' had a great reception. They were very good but by this time we were both knackered and a bit fed up with the loud music. The last group were ' Dozy,Beaky,Mick and Tich' but we just could not be bothered to wait for them and left.

And then on Monday the long trek back home. It is a 250 mile drive and as a lot of it is not on Motorway it took 5 ¼ hours including one stop. And then on Wednesday back to work!

People and life

>The people and the modern life.

As it was a 60's weekend you might have expected some unusual outfits and by the lord there was! Quite a lot of short dresses on women who were far to old to were them with the huge patterns of the time. There were guys dressed up like John Lennon and such and of course there were the stag and hen parties all with weird outfits.

There was quite a few outfits from the Beatles days and also two guys wearing outfits from 'Thunderbirds' the puppet program way back then. Also a couple of cowboys and quite a few 'teddy boys'. These no doubt would have had the hair all those years ago but these days they have to get it from a joke shop! There was even a guy dressed as Dracula for some unknown reason...

Girls wearing very sexy airline captains outfits that made my eyes pop out and Santa outfits that would have changed him into a naughty boy!

Does it seem ironic only to me that I am writing this on a laptop with my mobile phone nearby. I will upload photos taken on a digital camera to my Google Picasa account when I get home and am missing the always on broadband that I am used to. All of this while away for a weekend of music from nearly 50 years ago when even science fiction writers could not have even dreamed of the staff that we take for granted today........

Some time off

Well that is work done for the next six days. We are driving up to Birmingham today and will stay overnight and visit the Germand Christmas market in the town centre. Then off to Butlins in Skegness on Friday for a weekend of 60's type music. The best there has ever been!

We have not been away since May when we went to Ireland and we are really ready for this break. It is really a celebration as our 40th anniversary is a week later and this is a bit special for us.

And a little joke to finish off with...

An elderly woman went to her local doctor’s office and asked to speak with her doctor. When the receptionist asked why she was there, she replied, “I’d like to have some birth control pills.”

Taken back, the doctor thought for a minute and then said, “Excuse me, Mrs. Glenwood, but you’re 80 years old. What would you possibly need birth control pills for?”

The woman replied, “They help me sleep better.”

The doctor considered this for a second, and continued… “How in the world do birth control pills help you sleep?”

The woman said, “I put them in my granddaughter’s orange juice, and I sleep better at night.”

Sleep-whats the point?

Well I went to bed last night with the intention of getting a good nights sleep before getting up at 04.30. That was the intention at least, but at 3.00 I was wide awake and at 4.00 I gave up and put the kettle on. Like a lot of people getting a bit older I do not need to sleep so much these days. Perhaps it is the strange shifts that I have worked nearly all my life that has buggered up my sleeping pattern.

Work Yesterday was horrendous. I am not going to put the details here because if anyone does read this they will not care anyway but bloody hell it was busy. I never stopped all day. I just hope it is a lot quieter today.

A Sunday in work

I work every forth Sunday and this is my weekend on. I don't mind these days but for a Sunday it is usually damn busy. There is no-one else in the office so all the work that you usually get help with you have to do on your own. Still it goes quickly as you are so busy.

More heavy rain last night. I was awake at about 3.00 and the rain was hamering down. You would think by now there was nothing left up there. We will never have floods where we live as we are to high above sea level. If we ever get that bad Noah and his ark will float past!

And a little bit of humor to brighten up the day....

A Blonde's Revenge

A Blonde Writes Back For all of you (especially men) who like to send blonde jokes, it's time for paybacks... How many honest, intelligent, caring men in the world does it take to do the dishes? Both of them. Why did the man cross the road? He heard the chicken was a slut. Why don't women blink during foreplay? They don't have time. Why does it take 1 million sperm to fertilize one egg? They don't stop and ask for directions.

What do men and sperm have in common? They both have a one-in-a-million chance of becoming a human being. How does a man show that he is planning for the future? He buys two cases of beer. What is the difference between men and government bonds? The bonds mature. Why are blonde jokes so short? So men can remember them. How many men does it take to change a roll of toilet paper? We don't know; it has never happened. Why is it difficult to find men who are sensitive, caring and good looking? They all already have boyfriends. What do you call a woman who knows where her husband is every night? A widow. When do you care for a man's company? When he owns it. Why are married women heavier than single women? Single women come home, see what's in the fridge and go to bed. Married women come home, see what's in bed and go to the fridge. How did Pinocchio find out he was made of wood? His hand caught fire. How do you get a man to do sit-ups? Put the remote control between his toes. What did God say after creating man? I must be able to do better than that. What did God say after creating Eve? Practice makes perfect. How are men and parking spots alike? Good ones are always taken. Free ones are mostly handicapped or extremely short. What is the one thing that all men at singles bars have in common? They're married. Man says to God: "God, why did you make woman so beautiful?" God says: "So you would love her." "But God," the man says, "why did you make her so dumb?" God says: "So she would love you.

Another day in work and still raining

Well I might as well moan about the weather because no-one reads this crap anyway. Off to work today,(Saturday) and hopefully this should be a quiet day. I say that every bloody Saturday and it never is! And it is my weekend in work so I am working Sunday as well. Just once I would like a quiet weekend and we can only hope.......

The bloody rain never seems to end does it? I know it is December but hey! it could stop for a day or two. Well we are away next weekend and I just hope that we get a dry few days.

Just to lighten up this crap I have put in a photo of my nieces boys taken and photoshoped by a friend of hers.

And I have put in something to laugh at below as well

A blonde walks into a doctor's office. She gets in the room with the doctor and says, "Doc, I hurt all over." The doctor is really confused. He says, "What do you mean, you hurt all over?" The blonde says, "I'll show you."

She then touches herself on her leg. "OW!!! I hurt there." Then she touches her earlobe. "OW!!!!!! I hurt there too!" Then she touches her hair. "OW!!!!! EVEN MY HAIR HURTS!" So the doctor sits back and thinks on it for 5 min. Then he says, "Tell me, is blonde your natural hair color?" The blonde says "Yes, why?"

The doctor says, "Well, you got a broken finger..."

Oh its early!

What does the 0 stand for in 02.30? Oh my God its early! And that is the time that I got today to go to work. This time has been fairly regular for me for over 30 years now and although you get used to it, the alarm still hurts when it goes off.

My brother came around yesterday to ask me to scan in an old wedding photo of theirs from 25 years ago. With a minor bit of fiddling using Picasa it was a new photo. It worked that well that I am going to put in a load of my old suff that has been in boxes for years soon. I have put the photo here to show how well it came out.

Day off

Well it is my day off today and of course I could not sleep so got up at 06.00 to check emails etc. Oh the modern life with a computer! Just a few years ago I could not imagine using one and now I cannot imagine not having one.

I have just had an email from a relative in the USA that I have not written to in years. We both lost the email addresses so it was nice to get that message. Hi to Diane of she reads this.

Just to make the day off interesting we have a funeral to go to this afternoon. An old friend of the family has passed away and we are saying the final goodbyes. He was ill for a long time and I think it was a relief when he finally went. I would hate to linger like that. My own father went very suddenly and when my end comes that is the way to go. Not yet though!

Well after that rather depressing letter a little joke to lighten it up below,

An Amish boy and his father were visiting a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and back together again. The boy asked his father, "What is this, Father?" The father [never having seen an elevator] responded "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is."

While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed, an old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched small circles of lights with numbers above the walls light up. They continued to watch the circles light up in the reverse direction.

The walls opened up again and a beautiful 24-year-old woman stepped out. The father said to his son, "Go get your mother."

Another day in work

I work for a local bus company as a supervisor and I am up at 05.00 for another days work. For those of you that think perhaps that this is early to get up then you obviously have never worked on public transport.

Think of the trains that run early in the morning and the bus you might want to catch to work. Who do you think drives them and what time do they start? Our companies first bus leaves at 04.30 so the driver has to be in by 04.09 to get it out. He or she has to have a supervisor there to sign him on and they start before he does.

The last bus gets in at past midnight and there will be a supervisor on until after it gets in. So if you ever read this think perhaps that buses and trains do not run themselves and the staff work all sorts 0f weird hours.

And to make it a little less serious....

One day a girl decided to buy some crotchless panties to surprise her boyfriend. She went and bought them, got home, put them on and waited. When the boyfriend got home there she was spread eagle on the bed with only her panties and bra on. "Come over here baby." she says smiling. The boyfriend backs off, "If your pussy can do that to your panties - I ain't going any where near it!"

Bloody computers!

I have not been able to connect through my wireless capability for about two weeks now and had to phone the help line in the end to sort it out. It turned out that the most obvious button was turned off. All I had to do was press one BIG button at the top of the keyboard and I was on! What a complete dickhead I felt!

However all is well now and it is working fine. And just for a laugh check out

Stupid labels Some manufactures must think you are daft!

A man and his wife go to their honeymoon hotel for their 25th anniversary. As the couple reflected on that magical evening 25 years ago, the wife asked the husband, "When you first saw my naked body in front of you, what was going through your mind?"

The husband replied, "All I wanted to do was to fuck your brains out, and suck your tits dry."

Then, as the wife undressed, she asked, "What are you thinking now?"

He replied, "It looks as if I did a pretty good job."

Cold weather

Well the rain has stopped for a bit and just for a change it is bloody freezing out there. I am off to work in a little bit and will have to wrap up warm. I must be getting old! Does anyone read this drivel? I would love to know.

And just for a laugh, some reasons why you should have a camera phone

And as for the prices in 1955!

And to finish this some punny restaurant names!

Early shift

It is nearly 3.00am and the rain is pissing down and the wind is howling. But I have to get to work as do a lot of others.This time of day is fairly normal to me and thousands of others that work in the bus industry. Think of that next time you curse the bus driver for being late.

A loss for Wales

Well all the talk about Wales beating the Aussies yesterday came to nothing as they hammered us 33-12 Wales Game The must have been about 70,000 welsh supporters yesterday as well as half the nation that were absolutely gutted after that. Anyone expecting the Aussies to be a walk in the park were bloody disapointed.

I was in work yesterday and town was heaving at 4.30 pm as the supporters gathered in town before the match. The one thing about Rugby is that there is rarely any trouble. The fans just want to see a good game and enjoy themselves. Not that they did yesterday by the sound of it!

Wales v Australia

Well it may be pouring down with bloody rain again, but Cardiff will be heaving with rugby fans today as Cardiff play Australia in the last of the autumn rugby matches. The Aussies beat Cardiff Blues 30-3 this week, and were beaten by the Scots last week. The Welsh will want to get them back for that beating and the Aussies will want to make up for the loss to the Scots before they go home. All in all it should be a good match.

Photo Link

I have thousands of photos published in Picasa and if you would like to check them out they can be found at Steve's Photos. Take a look and let me know what you think of them.

Rain and work

Well another rainy day and off to work. I work in an office so it will not matter to much. But the guys that have to wander outdoors these days must think this bloody weather will never end.

well I have to get ready for work now but I really would like it if someone actually read this rubbish and let me know about it.

Still raining

As no-one reads this crap, I might as well moan to myself. The bloody rain has not stopped for days now. I know that we in November and it Wales but shit! you would think it would stop for a day or two! At least we are not in Cumbria though and have not had the bad floods this year. They are used to the stuff up there but they realty have been through it this last week or so.

Cumbria Flood link I feel for those up there as the floods are unprecedented and they are having a terrible time.

rembering when it did not rain

Well we have had sometimes this year when the rain did not come down. It seems a long time ago now though so I thought that I would put in a photo or two of those times. We spent a week with a friend from Holland in August. There were one or two days that week when the rain stopped and on one of them we went on the Brecon mountain railway.

We also had a day out in Cardiff Castle when the rain was coming down and I have put in some from the inside of that lovely place.

And for the last today I have put in one taken in the sun when we were in Ireland on holiday. If you actually read this drivel will you let me know so I know if it has been worth it?

Back again

I doubt whether anyone actually reads this drivel but I am going to try and start blogging a bit more regularly from now on. I have bought a new laptop and using it will be a bit easier these days.

I am seriously thinking of retiring next year about three years early to look after my wife who is disabled and needs more care. Work is getting busy and full time work and caring is getting very difficult. It will all depend on money of course as everything does these days.

Rain bloody rain

Well here we are in the middle of summer. July and thousands have saved and booked holidays. To go abroad is getting really expensive in this credit crunch time so they book in the UK. And what do these poor suckers get? Bloody weeks of rain! The sodding stuff has hardly stopped ever since the beginning of July and I feel sorry for anyone who is off about now.

Work life

I work for the local bus company as a supervisor and get up at 2.30 am a lot of the time. The work is busy and sometimes difficult but at least I am in work unlike many more. I retire in less than four years and OH BOY! am I waiting for that. I will be 65 years old then and do I want to carry on? Do I bloody hell! For those who want to or need to good luck to you but after 50 years of work I am ready to finish. If anyone reads this drivel let me know will you?

The new car

My wife and I have had the pleasure of getting a brand new car a few weeks ago. I say a pleasure but it has been a pain from the first day. Not the car however as that is a Ford Focus C Max and that is as good a car for the size that you could ask for.

No this is through the wonderful Motability program to help disabled people. My wife is disabled and she has had cars through Motability for the last 15 years or so. This has helped her get out and about as she just could not use public transport.

This year however we applied for an electric front seat as she is having problems getting into the car. Eventually this was agreed and fitted in. What I did not know was that we were given a manual seat and not the electric one that was advised.

This one is simply not suitable as it is to awkward to gte my wife in and out. After complaining to Motability that agreed to send someone down to test out a new seat. They have now advised her that she should have a Turnout seat with a Carony adaption and that is where we are now waiting for a call from Motability to see what they will do.
