This week, like the last few weeks in fact, is proving to be one of those where I wish that I could slow down time, or preferably turn it back a day or two. Alternatively, I wonder how advanced cloning technology is? I really need more of me’s (yes, I know that’s grammatically incorrect but…
I’ve been totally snowed under with work since the weekend, so I haven’t had time to post. But I thought a bit of kitty humour, courtesy of Lolcats, would be nice to get us over the midweek hump. I’m not the only one “snowed under”: What is it with bubble-wrap that compels one to pop…
I wouldn’t indulge in such behaviour myself, but … Hehehehehe….
This is Zapiro’s response to the story of Winston, the carrier pigeon which proved, once and for all, that – in South Africa at least – sending data by carrier pigeon is faster than transmitting it by so-called broadband: Hehehehehe…. Brilliant.
South Africans have been complaining for years about the unbelievably slow internet connection in the country, compared to the impressive levels of connectivity available in Europe and the USA. Never mind the exorbitant costs we have to fork out. So it was with considerable delight that I read this article on the BBC’s website, which…
When hubby came home this evening, I pointed out to him that I had been unable to get the siphon working because it appeared that my thumb was too small (see today’s previous post). Once he’d recovered from that shock revelation, he generously revealed his very special, and most secret trick, which I shall now…

But in winter, when it rains and rains…
This morning, Sis-in-law forwarded me this joke: SNOTTY RECEPTIONIST An older gentleman had an appointment to see the urologist who shared offices with several other doctors. The waiting room was filled with patients. As he approached the receptionist’s desk, he noticed that the receptionist was a large unfriendly woman who looked like a Sumo wrestler.…
OK, I know this story has done the rounds a few times already, but it still makes me smile: “The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded…
A friend of mine emailed me this link to a most frustrating and intriguing colour test. It consists of a series of eight screens. You are given a word at the top and two buttons to choose from at the bottom. You have to choose the COLOUR of the word and not the word itself.…
I don’t know where this comes from, but I think it’s brilliant. “ODE TO MY SPELL CHEQUER Eye have a spelling chequer It came with my pea sea It plainly marques four my revue Miss steaks eye kin knot sea Eye strike a quay and type a word And weight four it two say Weather…
An apposite tale in view of the recent expenses scandal of MPs in the UK. “One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he asked about his bill and the barber replies, ‘I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.’ The florist was pleased and…
Law of Mechanical Repair After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch and you’ll have to pee.
