    Another morning where I wake up at stupid AM, long before I really need to!

    I know exactly what you mean, Daz. During the daytime I feel like I could sleep for a million years, but come bedtime…

    It is possible to drink a whole mug of hot coffee merely by dabbing the rim briefly against your lips.

    My Thai wife’s texting again. Last week she asked me to call in at Iceland for some “Frozen Mice” (Mince). Today it was “PG (Mankey) tea bags”. 😀

    Went on a company 10-pin bowling night and found that our names had already been entered into the computer along with that of “David Blake” who no one had ever heard of. Couldn’t delete it, so to keep the game going we each took it in turns to be “David Blake” Played three games, and the non-existent “David Blake” won each one comfortably. :confused: I can only think that each of us was more relaxed bowling as “David Blake” than we were when playing under our own names, and consequently played better.

    “If Britain Had Fallen” by Norman Longmate, a look at how life in the UK might have been under Nazi occupation. As an aside, does anyone else think we British are a bit selective in boasting that the UK was never invaded, when of course the Channell Islands were occupied?

    Dentist’s bill. £91 for a filling (didn’t even use anaesthetic) scale and polish. And as if to add insult to injury, the practice has re-branded itself “Smile.” (Yes, I bet they do. :mad:)

    You never have to negotiate when buying or selling a business.

    “I hear you’re selling the pub?”
    “You want it?”
    “Yeah, I want it.”
    “It’s yours”

    I had a snip 4 years ago (whimped out and paid for it at a local private clinic so as to be asleep while they did what had to be done…)

    3 months and 6 months after the procedure you have to be tested and need to provide a sample. So they sent me two cups, and instructions……

    “we recommend privacy”…..

    why !?

    Well I think you should at least go indoors. 😉
