The 850 billion pounds bailout for the banks is going to cost each of us in this country £14,000 so, you better start saving now!  >:( :'(

Just watched a programme called Hop. Skip and Jump on the BBC Iplayer about British children at play from the early 1900s through to the early 1960s. How did we ever survive?? The bit about collecting German incendiary bombs the day after a night of air raids during WW2 was interesting! Worth a look for those who remember the days before kids were driven everywhere and health and safety took over - I think it's called survival of the fittest :2funny:

I saw the program last night it brought back memories of by brother and I playing in the street in the 60s on our home made ( Trollys ) or carts made from old pram wheels & scrap wood.
Lots of fun and lots of bumps and scrapes but no one cared you were a sissy if you ran home to mum everytime you scraped your knee or elbow or worse in fact I would have been in more touble for scraping the toes of my shoes............ :legit:

Just received a 'special offer' from Adobe. I can buy Elements 8 and Premier Elements for £79.92, or if I would rather, I can buy an upgrade licence for £94.07.

Pretty standard Adobe logic there.  ;D

The theory seems to be that as long as a man is a failure he is one of God's children, but that as soon as he succeeds he is taken over by the Devil. H.L Mencken.

May I direct you to the Darwin Awards which I think have been made into a TV show called "1000 ways to die!"

On the school run this afternoon I overtook a relatively slow moving old Renault 21 that was weaving about a bit. As I glanced over at the driver I saw the reason - he was reading (if that's the right word) a girlie mag, which he had opened across the steering wheel.

Good grief.

I suspect the drivers words were more along the lines of 'Good Read'   ::)
I could descend into further innuendo but this is a responsible site...

A common local gaff i'm told - but it doesn't make it any better.
We visited the Devils Dyke today for a spot of lunch and because we enjoy the view (as per my posted picture today entitled 'The Downs').
It sits at the top of the South Downs and provides a spectacular view whilst eating.
As we sat waiting for the food, sipping a drink - my wife says "Where's that pub we sometimes go to at the bottom of the hill?"
Innocently i replied, pointing with my finger, "That's Fulking down there..." - to which the surrounding area of tourists all gasped at my outburst.  :-[ :-[ :-[
It took me several seconds to realise my gaff - 'Fulking' is the name of the village in which the pub my wife was referring to is located!

Oh to be back in Suffolk - no silly names there!

without a doubt.
The tittering off the waiting staff didn't help - nor did the party of oriental tourists amazed at my  'apparent outburst'
Pictures of 'Fulking Village' will follow!

Nearly as bad as when i was in Brussels with a colleague driving around looking for our hotel.
"Where are we?" says my colleague, and he looked over for an answer and said (before i could answer) said "What's up?"
"Kunts Wet" i replied in my best Suffolk drawl.

A heated conversation ensued until i was able to explain that "Kunts Wet" was the part of Belgium where are hotel was located!

When you look at this list and think how much they get paid and how many [for me anyway!] have the 'quick must switch off factor' is'nt the state of factual TV depressing?

A neighbour, who works as a jobbing gardener found a 35mm Pentax in a client's shed. The client didn't want it, so neighbour tries to sell it to me. It's damaged and has one of Pentax's worst ever lenses on it. He looked quite crestfallen when I told him it was worthless. Bless.
