Radio Five Live

Why oh why don't they give that Helen Blaby her inhaler? I can't STAND her gasping through the traffic bulletins in the mornings! My daughter is asthmatic and I empathise so I gasp along in sympathy. Or sometimes if she's particularly bad I actually change the channel...

This is creepy!

Think of a letter between A and W
.
.
.
.
Repeat it out loud as you scroll down
.
.
.
Keep going
.
.
.
.
Don't stop.
.
.
.
.
Think of an animal that begins with that letter.
.
.
.
.
Repeat it out loud as you scroll down.
.
.
.
.
.
Think of either a man's/woman's name that begins with the last letter in the animal's name.
.
.
.
Almost there......
.
.
.
.
Now count out the letters in that name on the fingers of the hand you are not using to scroll down.
.
.
.
.Take the hand you counted with and hold it out in front of you at face level.
.
.
.
Look at your palm very closely and notice the lines in your hand.
.
.
.
Do the lines take the form of the first letter in the persons name?
.
.
.
.
Of course they fucking don't.
.
.
.
.
.
Now smack yourself in the head, get a life, and stop playing stupid on-line games!

Just wondering...

Why can't women put on mascara with their mouths closed?

Gav's Handy Tips #2

I'm passing this on to you because it has definitely worked for me...

By following the simple advice I read in an article, I finally found inner peace. The article read: 'The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you've started.'

So I looked around the house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished... and before leaving the house this morning I finished off a bottle of red wine, a bottle of white wine, the Bailey's, three half cans of Stella, a gateau, the Prozac, some Valium, some cheesecake and a box of chocolates.

You have absolutely no idea how wonderful I feel right now...!

Gav's Handy Tip #1

Vegetarians coming to dinner?

Simply serve them a nice bit of steak or veal. Since they're always going on about how tofu, Quorn, meat substitute etc 'tastes exactly like the real thing', they won't know the difference.
On some days, my head is filled with such wild and original thoughts that I can barely utter a word. On other days, the off license is closed.

News Flash

AP and UPI have reported that the French Government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "run" to "hide." The only two higher alert levels in France are: 'Surrender' and 'Collaborate'. The rise was precipitated by a recent fire which destroyed France's only white flag factory, effectively paralysing their military.

It's not only the French that are on a heightened level of alert, The Italians have increased their alert level from: "Shout loudly and excitedly" to "Elaborate military posturing". Two more levels remain: "Ineffective combat operations" and "Change sides".

The Germans also increased their alert state from "Disdainful arrogance" to "Dress in uniform and sing marching songs". They have two higher levels: "Invade a neighbour" and "Lose".

Seeing this reaction in continental Europe the Americans have gone from: "Isolationism" to "Find somewhere else in the middle east ripe for regime change".Their remaining higher alert states are: "Take on the world" and "Ask the British for help".

Finally here in GB we've gone from "Pretend nothing's happening" to "Make another cup of tea". Our higher levels are: "Remain resolutely cheerful" and "Win!"

A very good place to start... With hindsight, this really was a bit Julie Andrews!
