Make the most of your job . . .
No matter what your job,- try to make it interesting . . . 
This isn't one of my cartoons, but one that my friend Rawden discovered and sent to me.
It's a good 'un, in't it?
Julie Andrews celebrates her 70th . . .
This'll make you chuckle ! 
To commemorate her 70th birthday, actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall.
One of the musical numbers she performed was 'My Favourite Things' from the legendary musical 'The Sound Of Music'. Here are the lyrics she used . . . (Go on,- sing along !) Botox and nose drops and noodles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and more dental fittings, Bundles of magazines tied up with string, These are a few of my favourite things. Cadillacs and cataracts, hearing aids and glasses, Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses, Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings, These are a few of my favourite things. When the pipes leak. When the bones creak. When the knees go bad, I simply remember my favourite things, And then I don't feel so bad. Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions, No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions, Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring, These are a few of my favourite things. Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin', Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin', And we won't mention our short shrunken frames, When we remember our favourite things. When the joints ache. When the hips break, When the eyes grow dim, Then I remember the great life I've had, And then I don't feel so bad. Ms Andrews recieved a standing ovation from the crowd that lasted over four minutes and repeated encores.

Wearing your trousers halfway down yer bum and the crotch hanging around yer knees.....a crazy fashion (!) statement if ever I saw one.
Are they held up with double sided sticky tape? 
Could this be an explanation ?
A Letter for a Marine...
A marine was deployed to Afghanistan.
While he was there, he received a letter from his girlfriend. In the letter, she explained that she had slept with two guys while he had been gone and she wanted to break up with him. She also wanted the pictures of herself back. So the marine did what any other man would do...He went round to his buddies and collected all the unwanted photos of women he could find. He then mailed about 24 pictures of women (with and without clothes) to his ex-girlfriend with the following note:- "I don't remember which one you are. Please remove your picture and send the rest back."

This is me,- handsome devil aint I ? With this blog I aim to provide you with lots of interesting, useful, amusing and even amazing things as we move along our merry way. October, 2009 was the start of this blog and also my 63rd birthday,- yes I'm really an 'owd codger' as they say here in Lancashire (You might find that I digress into Lancashire dialect sometimes and, if you're a foreigner, feel free to ask for a translation).
