That's the
first of our visitors for today done with.
Our new sofa is due next Tuesday so the old one has gone off to the
British Heart Foundation shop in Dorktown town centre - where we got it from. Our next set of visitors are the workers to
fit the shower doors. At that point we
will be free of them at long last. No
real plans for anything now apart from Jan going out to do some shopping. With a bit of luck the doors will be done in
time for me to go as well. Be nice to
get out for an hour or two.
The village
green application for the land alongside St James church is now back in the
hands of the council planning committee.
It is hoped that they will now rule in favour of the application thereby
stopping the building of 300 homes on a flood risk green field site. The problem as I see it is that the same
committee didn't do their job properly and sort out the planning application
within the required time frame. The
application then went through by default.
However, if the council was to get its finger out and sort out the
so-called 'town plan' then that would help to prevent such silly games in the
future. But there's a problem there too. The council want to do it all be secret
committee and not allow anyone not on that committee to attend any of its
meetings. So that one has now come to
grinding stop too. So much for local
democracy eh?
Council
muppets are still falling out over the street lights switch off. One lot say t'ther lot are playing politics while
the other lot are saying that their opponents are not listening to the concerns
of the public. In reality I think both
sets of muppets are partly right and partly wrong. That's one of the downsides to the political
party democracy we have here in the UK.
The answer is to have a one party system which is oh so dangerous for us
all. Maybe we should just accept that we
will never be happy with whatever the muppets do. Some of us will be happy with one set,
other's won't be. Ah well ... ... ...

Today's
funny ...
An
85-year-old man was requested by his doctor for a sperm count as part of his
physical exam. The doctor gave the man a
jar and said, 'Take this jar home and bring back a semen sample tomorrow.'
The next day the 85-year-old man reappeared at the doctor's office and gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day.
The doctor asked what happened and the man explained, 'Well, doc, it's like this -- first I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing.'
'Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, then with her left, still nothing. She tried with her mouth, first with the teeth in, then with her teeth out, still nothing.'
'We even called up Arleen, the lady next door and she tried too, first with both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried squeezin' it between her knees, but still nothing.'
The doctor was shocked! 'You asked your neighbour?'
The old man replied, 'Yep, none of us could get the jar open.'
