    I play for a Sunday league football team and my teammates have given me the nickname 'the Cat'.

    crap in the box.

    Jeremy Clarkson has furiously denied using the N-word in an unseen clip from Top Gear.

    "There's no way on God's Earth I would ever have mentioned, let alone driven, a f.cking Nissan!" he stormed.

    I couldn't believe it when I went to a 'Rail Operators' meeting today.

    When I got there some git had taken my seat, there were no refreshments, and the meeting was running an hour late.

    I sat down to dinner and noticed that my fork was dirty. I said to my wife, "This fork is disgusting, it's got old food stuck on it." Well, she went crazy, "How often do you do the washing up then?" she shouted. I replied, "Never." So she said, "Exactly, I always do it!" I looked at her a bit puzzled and said, "Well surely you should be good enough by now not to leave the cutlery dirty"
    br />I was taking up all the space on the bed and my wife asked me to move.

    So now I live around the corner.

    I can't believe my teenage son spends all his time indoors trolling people on the internet.

    In my day we went outside and mugged someone.

    I may not be the most prosperous, compassionate or conscientious person in the world.

    But at least I know long words.

    Missing Wife
    Husband: I lost my wife. She went shopping & still hasn't arrived home yet.
    Inspector: What is her height?
    Husband: I never noticed.
    Inspector: Slim or healthy?
    Husband: Not slim, can be healthy.
    Inspector: Colour of eyes?
    Husband: Never noticed.
    Inspector: Colour of hair ?
    Husband: Changes according to the season.
    Inspector: What was she wearing?
    Husband: Pants and shirt, maybe a dress or something ..... I don't remember exactly.
    Inspector: Did she go in a car???
    Husband: Yes!!!
    Inspector: Can you tell me the number, name & colour of the car ?
    Husband: NLH-638 Black Audi A8 with supercharged 3.0 litre V6 engine generating 333 horse power teamed with an eight-speed tiptronic automatic transmission with manual mode....and it has full LED headlights, which use light emitting diodes for all light functions and has a very thin scratch on the front left door. At this point the husband started crying...
    Inspector: Don't worry sir, we will find your car..........

    Pick a number between 1 and 9.

    Good morning Abbers,

    Thanks for the math problem Mick - I had to go refill my coffee cup to wake up enough to realize what that was all about :H :H
    The floods are receding nicely, what a crazy week!
    The whole east coast was slammed pretty hard with excessive rain while the southern states were dealing with massive tornadoes, not pretty.

    I did see the pictures of the floods in FL Det! Did you see the entire city block in Baltimore, MD that literally crumbled & fell into a ravine taking 10 parked cars right along? Crazy!!!

    I am off to go get the grandsons & bring them back here for the better part of the day!
    I will put their boots on them & send them out to play in the yard/mud/whatever :H
    The sun is back & the temps are pretty mild!

    Greetings to everyone, sending wishes for a great AF Friday for one & all!

      Morning all!
      Hey Mick, nothing like a good math problem to start the day! Good luck on the parsnips, something I've never planted but have heard they're tasty.

      Lav, I heard about Baltimore yesterday, hope no one was hurt. I was in DC for Penn Quarter farmers' market. It clouded up a few times but thankfully no rain.

      Off to do some 'veying work, hope everyone enjoys their day!

        Gooooood mornin'....

        Mick you are to funny.. Lace curtains. Yes sir I have been around for awhile. I would post a little then run away when I drank instead of being authentic and just admitting it. I had a lot of personal issues to sort out too. I always ran to AL when I would have to deal with these things. But now I am learning how to face them.

        Lav- so glad to hear the flood is receding.. Your grandsons could probably go swimming. HA!

        Sam- don't work to hard. Repairing plumbing is a task.

        I got this morn and sprinted my driveway. It was a near death experience. It's steep. But I am trying hard to get in shape so the sprinting must be done.
        Good day to all...

              Hi folks - woke up to a sunny morning - brilliant and a beautiful view of the blue Pacific - we are staying on a cliff top so its pretty spectacular. So was yesterday with the rain. Even flood warnings here! Had a good day though. Today we might potter around some rock pools/maybe snorkel depending on conditions. Tomorrow its back to the big city -Honolulu - and my family departs for NZ while I do some work there.

              Haha - lace curtains Mick:H - I have always hated the things! When we moved into our house in NZ it was full of the horrible fly catchers (Mick knows what I mean) - and blocking the views. Ripped them out - didn't care about the sun damage we then had to face - and washed said curtains that over the years were great for dress-ups!

              Parsnips - pass me on those too please. I know they are meant to be delicious but I just don't have my Scottish tastebuds anymore:H

              lav - glad the floods your way are receding.

              Pauly - you will get it to being AF one day - because you have to. Keep posting here. You too BYG.

              Det - if I need to order imported sparking water - I go for Perrier by preference. But I now try to stick to local and if possible avoid bottles. Can't do that in a bar or when eating out of course - although I have noticed that more and more places are offering sparking water on tap. If it has some lemon or lime in it - hard to tell the difference.

              Still not convinced about the kona coffee here SL. I like my coffee strong and robust - with an intensity - and Kona coffee is more mellow - besides its often made through a drip.
              Each to their own!

              Hi there PPQP, Sam, SF. And all others. Hope your weekend goes well - and that you start to turn on the sunshine in the US and Canada - as I am heading that way soon!!

                Det - I meant sparkling water - not sparking water. Been too close to a volcano lately it seems!:H

                  Aloha Friday ABeroooooos!

                  sparking water would be awesome!

                  in a loverly mood after a romantic sleep-in.... wink wink nudge nudge....

                  a hem....

                  Mick, this weekend Sat it's more packing up the house and then off to sword fighting class, then Sun more packing and then I'm attending a class on making medicine from botanicals you can grow in your garden....should be interesting.

                  yes that Baltimore sink-hole was freaky. saw a video clip on it.

                  Pauly, one thing that's held me back in my sobriety over the years is a nagging little feeling/resentment that I'm somehow missing out on something by not drinking. the plain honest truth is that I have WAY more fun being AF. my sense of humor and wonder for life is immeasurably greater and grander. I just have to remember that and get my new neural pathways fully established.

                  back to work for garlic breath

                  be well

                      sam ..hopefully the parsnips will do good...what I have done is drilled cores into the soil..and filled them with sand..and put the parsnips in ..less resistance to them growing with them in sand....theyre lovely roasted with rosemary on them

                          Well now - that rash I mentioned couple days back .....got to see Dr today - shingles!!!!!:upset:
                          I have not been feeling good, but (as nurses do) I don't like to complain, and just pull up my bootstraps and get on with it - but now i have a reason not to feel good!! On anti viral meds now, hope to goodness they don't make me feel worse...
