    Affers blondie how are you?so the jokes remind you of Tommy Cooper do they??Just like that....you will be fine..after all this time you know you can do it...KY is probably right....its a subconscious link to being involved on here


    Mornin KY....oops affers..you ok?

    Hiya TDN hope you are ok...and things get sorted out this week for you..interesting where the name three dog night comes from...there is a dispute as to whether Inui Indian ,Californian, or Aboriginal...what isnt disputed is the fact it was a gauge of how cold it was at night times...they would huddle up to their dogs...hence it was a i/2/3/ dog night last night..wow...the stuff you learn on here!!!:H

    Mmmmooooorrrrnnnniinnggg Lav...now hows that for a super slow start??Coffee for you ...eh no ..not a million years ago...but not far off it!!!!have a great day

    Morning Cantoo........whats wrong? can we help?

    Mornin Nurdl....you ok? think sometimes we try and blame things like feeling down , rubbish tired and crap on maintaining an af lifestyle..Dont think that is neccessarily true,,,think what we are not doing is grabbing a drink when we feel like crap..and so it all seems magnified...anyway youve got a flash purple car to zoom about in!!!

    Right peeps...time to go,Strangely enough in this the "festive" season is when you fell at your lowest ebb..I felt it the other day over something really silly...
    Just think tho...there are a lot of people worse off than us at this very moment

    anyone heard from shue and the others?
    Take care

    I phoned the local gym and I asked if they could teach me how to do the splits. He said, "How flexible are you?" I said, "I can't make Tuesdays."

    "He said 'I'm going to chop off the bottom of one of your trouser legs and put it in a library'. I thought 'That's a turn-up for the books.'"

    "So I was getting into my car, and this bloke says to me "Can you give me a lift?" I said "Sure, you look great, the world's your oyster, go for it.'"

    "You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windscreen, it said 'Parking Fine.' So that was nice."

    "So I went down my local ice-cream shop, and said 'I want to buy an ice-cream'. He said Hundreds & thousands?' I said 'We'll start with one.' He said 'Knickerbocker glory?' I said 'I do get a certain amount of freedom in these trousers, yes.'

    I went to Millets and said 'I want to buy a tent.' He said 'To camp?', I said [butchly] 'Sorry, I want to buy a tent.' I said 'I also want to buy a caravan.' He said 'Camper?' I said [campily] 'Make your mind up

    I bought a train ticket and the driver said "Eurostar" I said "Well I've been on telly but I'm no Dean Martin? Still, at least it's comfortable on Eurostar, it's murder on the Orient Express...

    I'm so lazy I've got a smoke alarm with a snooze button.

    I bought some Armageddon cheese today, and it said on the packet 'Best Before End...'

    So I went to buy a watch, and the man in the shop said "Analogue." I said "No, just a watch."

    I went into a shop and I said, "Can someone sell me a kettle." The bloke said "Kenwood" I said, "Where is he?"

    So I went in to a pet shop. I said, "Can I buy a goldfish?" The guy said, "Do you want an aquarium?" I said, "I don't care what star sign it is."

    I was in this restaurant and I asked for something herby. They gave me a Volkswagen with no driver.

    I went to the doctor. I said to him "I'm frightened of lapels." He said, "You've got cholera." So I met the bloke who invented crosswords today. I can't remember his name, it's P something T something R.

    So I went down the local supermarket, I said "I want to make a complaint, this vinegar's got lumps in it", he said "Those are pickled onions".

    So this bloke says to me, "Can I come in your house and talk about your carpets?" I thought "That's all I need, a Je-hoover's witness".

    I was having dinner with my boss and his wife and she said to me, "How many potatoes would you like ?". I said "Ooh, I'll just have one please". She said "It's OK, you don?t have to be polite" "Alright" I said "I'll just have one then, you stupid cow

    So Batman came up to me & he hit me over the head with a vase & he went T'PAU! I said "Don't you mean KAPOW?? He said "No, I've got china in my hand."

    So I went to the dentist. He said "Say Aaah." I said "Why?" He said "My dog's died.'" "Now, most dentist's chairs go up and down, don't they? The one I was in went back and forwards. I thought 'This is unusual'. And the dentist said to me "Sir get out of the filing cabinet.'"

    "So I got home, and the phone was ringing. I picked it up, and said 'Who's speaking please?' And a voice said 'You are.'"

    "So I rang up my local swimming baths. I said 'Is that the local swimming baths?' He said 'It depends where you're calling from.'"

    "So I rang up a local building firm, I said 'I want a skip outside my house.' He said 'I'm not stopping you.'

    So I told my girlfriend I had a job in a bowling alley. She said "Tenpin?" I said, "No, it's a permanent job."

    So I told my mum that I'd opened a theatre. She said, "Are you having me on?" I said, "Well I'll give you an audition, but I'm not promising you anything."
    So this cowboy walks in to a German car showroom and he says "Audi!"

    So I fancied a game of darts with my mate. He said, "Nearest the bull goes first" He went "Baah" and I went "Moo" He said "You're closest"

    So I met this bloke with a didgeridoo and he was playing Dancing Queen on it. I thought, that's aboriginal.

    I visited the offices of the RSPCA today. It's tiny, you couldn't swing a cat in there.


    So I said to a Scottsman 'did you have terrible spots as a kid?' He said 'ac ne'

    Morning all, evening TT and Blondie.

    Knackered today....couldn't sleep last night and a couple of big ops today so too much caffeine and now wired .....sigh.

    SL..... Don't need to excuse yourself, we all get those moments. I think it is easier for those who drank heavier mebbe. When I have a moment I KNOW it will be a half of vodka cos nothing less did before so I cannot fool myself that I will ONLY have a couple of glasses.

    Then I KNOW the next day I will REALLY have withdrawals that can only be fixed by ANOTHER half bottle.......and so on and so on and so on and so on.......for weeks/months til I am back here on day 1.

    The thought of it scares the shite outta me.......thankfully.

    Cantoo ....... Don't make me come find you!

    PPQ....you all good? The word is Proper, interesting you had no probs with the second! :H

    Mick ........measure twice, cut once ! :H:H:H

    Pauly .... You all sorted for a good run, Hun? I take loads of supplements and I think it was Prairie that did a good download of info....very informative

    Orrrfff for a wander

      Evening Kuya, Morning Mick and hi everyone
      Thanks for thoughts about my mini crave; back as good as gold but it was a weird one!
      Hi Det! I'm guessing luxury hotels hold no brief for you! :H
      Have to brave the shops tomorrow as I left it too late to shop online :upset: My max tolerance time is about an hour; add Christmas crowds and heat, and we'll see!

      Off to spot a few haggis before I turn in; it's looking a bit dreich up in the land o' heather!

      Have fun everyone!

          Good morning Abbers!

          It's Monday, it's dark & raining & it just doesn't matter because I am alive & well
          My heart is heavy though thinking of all those families who lost loved ones in last Friday's massacre. I feel it is high time for stricter gun control here. And time to do a better job at identifying & treating the psychotic individuals who walk among us.

          I am grateful for another AF & SF day in my life. I wake up every morning & am happy to make those pledges each & everyday!

          Wishing everyone a wonderful AF Monday!

            Good Morning Mick...thanks for the coffee and the kickoff. Haven't read through all the jokes...keeping that for work! :H

            You would think the community centre would be crazy busy but other than hosting company xmas parties we're winding down for a 2 week break as of Friday. :yay:

            KY...Proper...never would have got there :H

            Blondie...Urban Dictionary: 1. Dreich (Old Scots origin) A combination of dull, overcast, drizzly, cold, misty and miserable weather. At least 4 of the above adjectives must apply before the weather is truly dreich.
            Not only am I learning to live AF I am increasing my knowledge of this "english" language. Find any Haggii before going to bed?

            Good Morning Lav...do you need a job? Your positivity is the only requirement for handing out "P"s and you're excelling at it.
            I think the news media is paying attention to all the tweets and blogs. This morning they actually stated they were concentrating on the victims only.

            I'm on a quest this morning looking for a link to a web site I think was posted on the Army thread....so off to see if anyone knows what I'm talking about.

            Have a feeling this week is going to be rough on a lot of us so stay close...stay safe...and have a great AF Monday all and all to come...PPQ

                    Hi All! It seems like everyone is doing reasonably well around here, at least if we judge by the humor!

                    Scottish Lass, of course we will still have you! It sounds like drinking was just waiting for you, and I'm glad you got it out of the way now and are feeling more determined. What happened to you could happen to any of us if we're not careful. The only alcohol I have in my house is cooking sherry and vanilla extract. So far no temptations; they taste like shit, but I will get them out of the house too if necessary.

                    I'm sick with a nasty cold. Everything in my head is clogged up, so I am not a happy camper here. Nothing over the counter is working at all. The only good thing is that I have been wanting to quit ciggies, and feeling this punk is the best excuse to just.do.it. Wish me luck, please.

                    Waves to Mick, Kuya, blondie, Lav, PPQ, TDN, Pauly, nurdl, CanToo, Deter, and every one else. No hugs today. You don't want what I have.

                    YahYah
