Kile, Pip-pup and and lights

9 December 2012

At last I managed to get into town and got shots of the poor excuse for Crimble lights the council have put up.  Just as I thought they have gone for the neutral look with just white lights in meaningless shapes.  I did get a few candids too so if you want to have a look at them all here's my flicker page URL ...  http://www.flickr.com/photos/15764683@N00/  ... although I will post one of them below.

The hoax phone callers are not laughing about pretending to the Queen on the phone now are they?  Being suspended is the least they can expect.  The news this morning reported that Scotland Yard have been in touch with their counterparts in Australia and that doesn't surprise me at all.  What those two prats thought was funny has now backfired on them in a big way and in a way they wouldn't have imagined.   Now we wait to see what will happen to them.

We have Kile with us right now, well, not right this minute - if you see what I mean.  Jan has taken him to church.  One of the worries we both had on quiet was whether Pip would be OK with him.  We really needn't have worried at all.  She runs around chasing him wherever he goes.  Right now she's crying and yapping for him and it's driving me crazy while I'm trying to write this ;-)))

The weather is due to turn really bad over the next few days.  I bought the Daily Express yesterday and they have said that the temperature will be too low for the grit to work properly.  We'll soon see eh?  Normally we here in Dorktown don't get any real heavy snow falls and what we do have is soon gone.  It rarely sticks around for days and days.  There's been the odd occasion where it does hang about, but they are few and far between.  Let's hope that if the Express is right then it does at it normally does. 

So here's the promised photo - actually two of them ... 

one of the lights and one of Pip-pup sitting by the window.

And today's funny is sadly enough, actually true ...

A guy goes to the local Council to apply for a job. The interviewer asks him "Have you been in the service?"
"Yes" he says. "I was in the Lebanon for three years."

The interviewer says "That will give you extra points towards employment" and then asks, " Are you disabled in any way?"
The guy says, "Yes 100%.....a mortar round exploded near me and blew my testicles off."
The interviewer tells the guy, "Ok you're hired. The hours are from 8.00am to 4.00pm. You can start tomorrow, come in at 10.00am."
The guy is puzzled and asks "If the hours are from 8.00am to 4.00pm then why do you want me to come in at 10.00am"
The interviewer replies "This is a council job, for the first 2 hours we sit around scratching our balls; there's no point you coming in for that".
