After all
the fuss about the gold painted post box in Bed'th, within a couple of hours of
the job being done some moron has vandalised it but chipping off a chunk of the
paint. Pretty clever that eh? I just don't understand what they get out of
damaging anything at all, no matter what it is.
Is it jealousy that they don't have one the items they damage - but
could they have a post box if they wanted one?
Is it just being nasty or being a prat?
That sounds more like it to me!
The cheque
for the lost photo kit has arrived but it's about £100 light of the prices I
quoted them from warehouseepress.com.
They've gone on a quote they got from Jessops. It amazes me that Jessops came in cheaper,
they're normally a lot more expensive. I
don't particularly like Jessops really.
It tends to be hit and miss as to how good or useful the staff are. Ordering from them can be a nightmare
too. At least with the cash in the bank
I can get on line and order the stuff knowing full well that goods will arrive
next day. Now of course I have to go
into town to pay in the cheque. I had
hoped to stay in today and get some more writing done. Ah well ... ... ...
We don't
hear a lot about the Walsall Illuminations these days. I'm starting to wonder if they are still
going on. We went just once about 12
years ago I think it was. The lights
were amazing and we really enjoyed it.
Here's just one of the many shots we got that time ...
And today's
funny ...
An engineer of the Harley Davidson Motorcycle
Corporation died and went to
heaven. At the gates, St. Peter told him, "Since you've been such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world; your reward is you can hang out with anyone you want in Heaven."
The Engineer thought about it for a minute and then said, "I want to hang out with God."
St. Peter took him to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God.
The engineer then asked God, "Hey, aren't you the inventor of woman?"
God said, "Ah, yes."
"Well," said the engineer, "professional to professional, you have some
major design flaws in your invention.
1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end protrusion.
2. It chatters constantly at high speeds.
3. Most of the rear ends are too soft and wobble too much.
4. The intake is placed way to close to the exhaust.
5. And finally, the maintenance costs are outrageous."
"Hmmmm, you may have some good points there," replied God, "hold on."
God went to his Celestial supercomputer, typed in a few words and waited for the results. The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it.
"Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed," God said to the engineer, "but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours."
