Are we all
battened down ready for the big blow later tonight? And we all remember to put the clocks back an
hour last night? We didn't so when the
alarm went off at 9am Jan was soon to point out that it was 8am not 9am. Ah well - I'm sure we will survive.
A few weeks
ago we recorded and watch the later version of Willy Wonker; I have to confess to liking the earlier version
better. However, I visited a sweetie
shop in the Ropewalk shopping centre in town some time ago and noticed they had
Wonker Bars on sale - at £3 each! I
didn't bother. But the other day I
called into Asda for some shopping on my way home Brum and they had a Wonker
Bar on sale for £1, so I bought one. I
thought it was OK, nothing special but OK.
Jan is a real chocoholic but she didn't like it at all. I'm not sure I will be buying any more though.
Yesterday
was a trip into town on me scooter. The
weather wasn't bad but I felt rather strange all over. After a short while I wanted to get out of
there and make my way home. Normally on
Saturday I'm happy to sit and snap away at the shoppers in the market, but not
yesterday. No idea why though. Once I got over the railway bridge I felt a
lot better and dropped into the Anchor for an hour. Three pints of Wobbler later I made my way
home. For hours after I had a hankering
for egg and chips but ended up with a blackcurrant jam butty instead.
Here's the
new entrance to New Street Station and shopping concourse ...
The plan was to have it open in time for
Christmas but it's been put a couple of months now and won't open until the New
Year some time.
Funny time
...
Next time you use a pair of rubber gloves,
you're going to smile when you think of this:
A dentist noticed that his next patient, a little old woman, was nervous, so he decided to tell her a little joke as he put on his gloves. 'Do you know how they make these gloves?' he asked.
'No, I don't,' she replied.
'Well,' he spoofed, 'there's a building in Canada with a big tank of latex, and workers of all hand sizes walk up to the tank, dip in their hands, let them dry, then peel off the gloves and throw them into boxes of the right size.'
She didn't crack a smile. 'Oh, well.. I tried,' he thought.
But five minutes later, during a delicate portion of the procedure, she burst out laughing. 'What's so funny?' he asked.
'I was just envisioning how condoms are made!'
(Gotta watch those little old women! Their minds are always working!)
