    af Thursday 19 December

    Thursday 19 Dec already ? I posted just a few hours ago but my cat anxiety got the better of me ? so I woke early. I have to get him to the cat Motel before it closes for the day ? but its too early now ? and the little feline monster is trying to find places to hide in the house.

    As I said I enjoyed the party last night. It wasn?t a party party like the old days ? rather sedate. Speaking of parties...

    Happy Birthday Lav :rockband:? I have started a separate thread of birthday wishes that sums up things a wee bit. You have a terrific day and note Pauly?s description of 60 being the new 40. I like that!

    Pauly ? I have never heard of Tootise Bars! Have you heard of Pineapple Lumps, Hokey Pokey Icecream or Crunchie Bars? Not sure where you can get them ? but they are part of NZ?s contribution to the great Sugar Downfall:H

    Det ? I made zillions of garlic bread last night for the party. Of course it was really to keep the vampires away (well except the handsome ones!).:H

    Mick ? gosh you swim a lot. Isn?t it wet enough in Downton Abbey Land? Will there be a Christmas special this year? Who else can they have killed off? See I can?t compete with your jokes!:H

    Sam ? how?s the cleaning going? All done?

    PPQP ? any plans for Christmas ? apart from keeping warm?

    Narilly ? you still trudging through the snow?

    Hiya Giraffe from South Africa! Are you going to join us? We need some more animals and birds here! :HMore than welcome ? tell us a little bit about your goodself.

    OK- folks ? I am off on cat safari ? we head off tomorrow on our human adventure so I will be off-line for most of the following week.

    Greetings to all others and have a great AF Thursday!

    There is a nudist convention on in town next week.
    I might go if I have nothing on.


    The Bank of England is to introduce plastic banknotes that can survive a spin in a washing machine by 2016.

    Surely that will just encourage money laundering ?


    I went for a job at the Royal Mail sorting office yesterday. After the interview I was given a tour of the depot.

    I asked the guy taking the tour "What's that machine?"

    "That's the Acme 3000 Auto Sorter System. It can sort 150,000 letters an hour and it's 99.5% accurate. It's controlled by 12 supercomputers, each of which is 5000 times more powerful than an average desktop PC. It has over 15,000 state-of-the-art optical location identification sensors, contains enough circuit boards to entirely cover the pitch at the new Wembley stadium and it has 200 miles of fibre-optic cable. It cost over ?100 million to develop," he boasted proudly.

    "What happens to the letters after it's finished sorting them?" I asked.

    "We give them to a bloke on a push bike."


    Settled down to watch Obama at the Mandela gig with my deaf wife the other day.

    Apparently, Space Shuttle Atlantis is due to have a baby next buffalo.


    My dad found out I had an imaginary girlfriend.*

    He said, "You know, you could do better."

    "Thanks dad, that means a lot," I replied.

    "I was talking to your girlfriend."


    I pulled a right minger at the office Christmas party this year.

    I work from home.


    I couldn't believe it when I was a minute late arriving at a premature ejaculation conference today.

    It was all over by the time I got there.


    So far I've received 17 Christmas cards. If I get one this year that will make 18.


    Psychologists say the left half of the brain is responsible for both kleptomania and numeracy. So, it's the taking part that counts.

    Ronnie Biggs has died, aged 84.

    This leaves National Rail as the last remaining Great Train Robber, with cheese sandwiches for ?4.50


    My wife said, "Do you love anyone enough to give them your last Rolo?"

    I winked and said, "Of course I do, sweetheart." As I threw it to the dog.


    I went into my local library and asked, "Have you got a book called 'How to win your divorce case' please?"

    "Yes, sir," the librarian replied, "the woman's version is under Non-Fiction, and the men's is under Fiction, Humour."


    Royal Mail have said today is the last day to get your letters sent to guarantee delivery by Christmas.

    2015.


    I rushed my one year old son to hospital after he accidentally swallowed two tiles from my Scrabble set.*

    As I anxiously waited a doctor emerged and said, "There is no need for alarm, sir. Before we take a course of action we're going to have to do a CT scan."

    "Let me save you the trouble, doctor." I replied, "I can assure you, Nothing will show up on a CT scan."

    "How can you be so sure?" He asked.

    "Because, It was an F and a G that he swallowed." I replied.


    Tonight I was watching the waxing of the moon.

    I'm glad my wife's decided to do something about her hairy butt


    How come the Starship Enterprise can travel to far off distant galaxies and everyone they meet has a good command of the English language.

    And I can't even go down the end of my road..
    .

    The Foreign Office are treating the death of a British doctor in Syria as suspicious.

    He had signed his own death certificate.


    Im not saying that I am unfit or anything.

    But even shivering makes me sweat!

      Good morning Abbers!

      Yep Mick, I am fifty ten today :H
      That is a rather unique way of putting it by the way!
      Thanks for the coffee, much appreciated

      TT, I hope you were able to get the cat transferred peacefully! I don't think I could handle a cat, dogs are easier. I just snap a leash on them & say 'let's go for a ride' & they hop right in the car, no sweat :H Wishing you wonderful week, be safe

      My grown up kids are taking me to lunch today!
      I plan to order the most expensive item on the menu because they really owe me :H :H
      Eating out in public with the little ones is always an event - should be fun.

      Wishing everyone a wonderful AF feast day of Lav!!!!

            Hi guys!
            Yup, weather SUCKS today. -32 or something nuts when I went to work this am. Now it is warmer -15 C, yahoo!
            Mick, 50 lengths, wow! that is awesome. I do around 30 and that is good for me.
            Pauly, looks like you have to go on a treat hunt if you ever come to Canada or Australia. It is always neat to see the different treats countries have.
            TT-hope your cat is ok.
            Talk soon,
            enjoying my Sober Thursday.

              Hello Fabbers,

              I just wanted to pop in and take the plunge to GET MY BUTT BACK HERE! LOL Fortunately, I'm just embarrassed for my absence, but I haven't fallen off the wagon. I'm still sober and happy to be so. Thanksgiving provided lots of temptations, however, and I had a number of vivid drinking dreams after the fact. Yuck! I knew that I'd better get myself back on here before I got myself in serious trouble.

              The next few days are going to be busy for me finishing up work and getting off for Christmas visiting, but I want to catch up on some reading here and posting.

              Forgive me for not writing more now, but I figured it was better for me to write something, anything, than to put off posting for any longer than I already have!

              I see we have a few new posters here on daily Abs. Welcome.

              Hugs to all,
              :l

                  yah....forgiven glad to see yah (pardon the pun) Falling off the wagon ..here you go amaze your friends with this useless sh.te!!!:H:H

                  American and it is associated with wagons, of a sort. The original form, which dates from the early years of the twentieth century, was to be on the water-wagon, implying that the speaker was drinking water rather than alcohol and so was an abstainer, at least for the time being. The image of the horse-drawn water-wagon would have been an obvious one at the time — it was used to spray unpaved American streets in the dry summer months to dampen down dust thrown up by the traffic. A direct link with the temperance movement — very active at the time — would seem probable.

                    Thanks Mick! I'm sure that everyone will be fascinated with my knowledge! Just in case, I'll print out a page or two of your jokes to keep folks entertained. :H Actually, I don't give a crap if anyone is entertained. I will be just as happy reading a book.

                      LAV....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I hope you enjoyed your expensive meal

                      TT-glad you enjoyed your party. Parties are not the big blowouts they used to be. I am glad for it. People these days are so much more PC. Have a great trip.

                      Mick-Honestly the guy who came up with the small fun size bags of candy was rather genius. How can we get people to eat more? Make them smaller

                      YAH, Paully, Narilly....glad to see you. Sure Det will be poking in soon.

                      Well I got to go to one of those "Dirty Santa" parties today. For lack of coming up with anything creative....I took a bottle of wine. It was the dirtiest thing I could think of to take Of course I get paid back by ending up with the Peppermint Snapps Bottle. Here is the thought that ran through my mind...."hmmm as I recall this will make my breathe super minty, so nobody would really KNOW I was drinking.....they might notice something was up when I fall on my ass though" I gave it away before I left the party.

                      Here is something I never noticed before. While buying the wine I was informed that wine shops cannot sell glasses, cups, ice or corkscrews So I can buy the wine here, but if I want to drink it.....I have to go to another store to be able to open it and pour it?

                      I honestly bought it being lazy and lack of being creative. Even though it traveled in the trunk....I just did not feel right having it or much less giving it as a gift. I kinda envisioned a wicked genie corked in the bottle. Talk about a change in how I view al.

                      Hope everyone is surviving the holidays. I am so looking forward to it. A nice quiet one for us.
