30 April 2012
The flags are out in Dorktown today. The BEEB has got the weather right again for
today. Bright sun and nearly clear skies
were good to get up to. It's shopping
day too so hopefully I shall get a few new
pics today too.
It's a quiet day in the News
again today as well. Front page is a
story that the Hussy Hospital has paid off a debt of £6.8m but it seems that
they still have a deficit of £7.3m to sort out.
Now is it just me or do debt and deficit mean two different things these
days?
Trading Standards have been busy again. They have visited 20 restaurants and
takeaway's within Dorktown and the rest of the country to test the quality of
the lamb in their curries and kebabs.
Lamb is the most expensive meat so it seems that a many of these outlets
are fiddling customers by using beef, pork and chicken which are all
cheaper. Of the 20 lamb kebabs bought
none of them contained just one meat, lamb.
They were made up of a mixture of all of them. Of the 20 curries tested only three had just
lamb in them. Advice will be given to
the law breakers. But here's a point ...
I thought that Asian folk wouldn't touch pork in anyway. So how come some of the items bought
contained pork? Makes you wonder eh?
I bought one of those
pens which are linked to a device that records your hand writing and converts
it to typed text. Well, I finally got to
work out how the software worked with it.
A half page of my handwriting became total gobble-di-guop. Jan and I had a good laugh over it last night
and I posted the results onto a Facebook page for writers who also had a laugh
over it. The idea behind buying the pen in the first place was that I
could hand write my story and have it converted and if it fails then I still
have a hard copy to hand if it doesn't work.
However, having thought about it a good bit last night I'm wondering if
it turns say eight pages of hand writing into the sort rubbish it produced last
night, then it's going to need a lot of editing afterwards. In which case I might as well type it
straight in anyway. I do have eight or
nine A5 pages of my new novel (yes I know, but I have to do something while I
wait for the proof reading of the last one to be done), to type now anyway
before I do any more. So we'll soon see
eh?
I finally found the instruction manual for my Alpha 350
after hunting for it for a couple of weeks.
And guess what? I can't remember
why I needed it now ;-))) Daft I calls it.
And so a photo ...
one of a number I got ay the Funny Girls
show in Blackpool.
The Rochdale sage has been in touch ... it's a bit non-PC
but funny as heck ...
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't
mean they don't love you with all they have.....
Fred and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while
they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Fred suddenly jumped into
the deep end.
He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there
Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and
pulled him out. When the Head Nurse/Director became aware of Edna's heroic act
she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now
considered her to be mentally stable.
When she went to tell Edna the news she said, 'Edna, I have good news
and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to
rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person
you love... I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.
The bad news is, Fred hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe
belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.'
Edna replied, 'He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry...
How soon can I go home?'
