So can one say "You're a bliksem" or is it more along the lines of "Bliksem arsehole"? Enquiring minds, you know...

Yoi're a bliksem is perfect. One would say 'bliksemse arsehole'

I just opened this *punny* email, courtesy of friend's mother who regularly bombards my inbox. This one is actually funny but maybe it's that my standards have dropped due to wading through the rest of the crap she sends on a daily basis...

1. The fattest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi.

2. I thought I saw an eye-doctor on an Alaskan island, but it turned out to be an optical Aleutian .

3. She was only a whisky-maker, but he loved her still.

4. No matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still be stationery.

5. A dog gave birth to puppies near the road and was cited for littering.

6. Two silk worms had a race. They ended up in a tie.

7. A hole has been found in the nudist-camp wall. The police are looking into it.

8. Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

9. Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

10. Two hats were hanging on a hat rack in the hallway. One hat said to the other: 'You stay here, I'll go on a head'.

11. A sign on the lawn at a drug rehab center said: 'Keep off the Grass'.

12. A backward poet writes inverse.

13. In a democracy it's your vote that counts. In feudalism it's your count that votes.

14. If you jumped off the bridge in Paris , you'd be in Seine .

15. The midget fortune-teller who escaped from prison was a small medium at large.

16. A vulture carrying two dead raccoons boards an airplane. The stewardess looks at him and says,
'I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger'.

17. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again
that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.

18. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, 'I've lost my electron'. The other says, 'Are you sure?'
The first replies, 'Yes, I'm positive'.

19. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root-canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.

20.There was the person who sent ten puns to friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh.
No pun in ten did.

Afternoon all :halllo:

Glad the AA job's over molly and well done on the tax return. It's one of my pet hates too.

Well done on the skating pingu. I imagine it would have been warmer on the ice rink than it was outside.

And well done arsey too. Why do you punish yourself like that in this weather?

Loved the food porn. I took a leaf out of tip's book and stuffed myself at lunchtime too (beef casserole) and then had a long nap, just woken up.

Jackie - while you're working on your Afrikaans/English dictionary, maybe you could do an Irish/English dictionary too? You know....words like gruaige and bogger. Might come in handy for army newbies!

Now hang on a minute here... the plot thickens. Is is bliksemS with an S or is it bliksem? My roving correspondent on the spot (Johnny the Snoop) says it might be with an S.

I know, zens, but we have to draw the line somewhere! Otherwise we'll be asking JC to produce Scottish/English, Geordie/English, Scouse/English, American/English dictionaries and more. She's already holding down two jobs!

Yes, I see your point and I agree. So the Irish/English one will have to wait while she does the Scottish/English one! Simples!

How are you doing? :l

Doing ok today, thanks. Been quite productive, apart from the nap. Are they still keeping you rushing around all over the place?

My "rushing-ness" is coming to an end. ) I finish IOP on Tuesday and my rehab friend goes home next weekend and I'm not going to be involved with the half way house after that. I'll be doing Aftercare on Tuesday nights and therapy on Thursday afternoons, AA meetings and working the steps... but life will be back to normal (whatever that is!) by the end of next week.

I know what "quite productive" means... I might not speak Afrikaans but I know Reccy code for sober! )
