    hiya Sam..making a solar panel out of a satellite dish..a man after me own heart!!hope you get things sorted out today.

    wakey wakey tt!!!..just in case you slept in!!you ok back in the land down under?

    right folks ...these are the jokes and its a fond farewell from me toodle pip!!!:H

    The parents of Gareth Huntley, the British man gone missing in Malaysia, have appealed directly to David Cameron to intervene.

    What can he do? He can't even find his own kids from time to time!

    As I looked my soon-to-be wife up and down in her wedding dress and said the words, "I do," she slapped me...

    It obviously wasn't the reply she was expecting to, "Do you think my bum looks big in this?"

    A recent study carried out at Leeds University says that babies can learn to love a variety of vegetables if they're introduced to them early enough.

    I'm not convinced. Mine hasn't stopped screaming since I swapped his teddy bear for an artichoke.

    So Rihanna was beaten up by her fella, ella, ella.

    Just bought some barbecue flavoured crisps,

    They taste like bricks and wire mesh.

    I got really drunk at the wedding and at the end of the night I found it quite hard to consummate the marriage.

    "Dave!" said my best mate, pulling me off the bride yet again. "Leave my new wife alone."

    You should have heard the comments I got when I walked into the pub with my new girlfriend in a mini skirt.

    "You f.cking weirdo" and "shouldn't she be wearing that?" were just two of them.

    What's the name of that big ship that sunk in the film Titanic?

    I got a job with a company that manufactures trampolines.

    Now I'll have something to fall back on.

    Quick jump in to say :hello: Mick & Co.
    Public Holiday here in Ireland
    In typical fashion - instead of having a long lie in - the fecking sleep fairy poked me in the ribs to wake up at the same time as normal :boohoo:

      Hi everyone. Its Monday night here. I have been very busy sorting stuff out and writing something for a workshop this week - so apologies for the lack of posts but thinking of you all. Lacking mental energy to do much else.
      Sorry that you have the family problems PPQP - will this be a wake-up call for your sister?
      You all have a good Monday - it was a public holiday here too Satz - Queen's Birthday - yes, thats right - the English Queen. I know its not her real birthday but its observed here today.

        Hey TT
        Ah well we in Ireland would NEVER celebrate the English Queen's birthday - too much history there.
        Must say I have come to admire her recently.
        In a 'nanny' kind of way
        I mean she is 88 and still hopping in and out of cars & planes and able to hold her own with speeches etc at public occasions.
        She even spoke some Gaelic when she was here on her first ever visit to Ireland last year......

        Good luck with the writing ....

            Morning all!!
            Going to try and vacuum up some bees today. Finally got around to seeing where they were. I was told that if I didn't make it by a certain, like the day they called, they would be killed. Well I got a call again, checked them out and it appears from the outside, doable. No climbing involved. I just hope it works ok. We'll see....

            Great pics on yesterday's post Mick. What part of England are you in, if I may asked?
            TT, glad to see you home, serious jet lag??!!
            hello Satz, enjoy your holiday!

            greetings Lav, PQ, Det, SL, SF, Pauly

            Have a good one

                    Hey Ho all
                    just completed my first "cutout". Small colony, great way for me to try this. They were flying in at the bottom but had built at the very top. This was in a fertilizer building at a local farmers' coop.







                    I'll hive them late afternoon. Ended up being maybe 2 lbs of bees. Got the queen. Queen's day!!

                        Happy un-hung Monday ABerooooonies!

                        Mick, thanks for coffee and pointing out that I'm the only sap working today LOL

                        Sam, a bear incursion sounds exciting. yikes! great bee project. I have a buddy whos about 2 months into his first hive and it's a fascinating thing to observe.

                        SF, sorry to hear about the job drama. I'm also looking to vacate the corporate world soon after our house move is over. that's my evil plan anyway. we'll see what I can come up with.

                        Lav's dog boarding house is closed for rest this week

                        Mick, have you listened to the 'hardcore history' podcasts by Dan Carlin? brill stuff. he truly makes history pop into life.

                        Pauly, I drank as long as I thought it was worth it. sounds simple and I guess it really is. I really try to make myself play the 'fast forward game' and mentally preview what will happen after I let myself take that first drink. This is a powerful visualization/meditative technique i think has a lot of merit.

                        well, gotta shove off to hotel land tomorrow so will miss fencing Tue night. just as well I spose to let my poor knee heal up. I passed my first test (the apprentice test) on Sat with high marks happy to say.
                        now I'm nice and sore but very happy.

                        be well peeps and all to come....

                          Pauly have you ever tried Antabuse. This combines the visualization Det talks about with some heavy duty meds. I found this helped me to do my final quit and it does not have to be permanent. (Antabuse I mean). Sometimes we need to take drastic measures. I resisted it but did my research and took it. It is not a drug to be played with. But if you chose this we could help.

                            MAE ALL...

                            Mick...thanks for the brew and to be on the safe side you should just always bow when you pass it to me. :H What a day! They launched the basketball online registration today and it all worked except the registration page. :H Lot of phone calls and emails made the day fly by. Will try for pics soon.

                            Satzy...howdy to you too. Oh well at least you get to have a whole day off.

                            TT...thanks and I really hope this is a turning point for her.

                            Sam...you would never catch me anywhere near there. Great pics. Good job on getting the queen!

                            Lav...I would have taken an hour but of course I've never been to curves.

                            Pauly...hang in there. TT's suggestion of Antabuse might be one way to go. I thought of starting on it when I couldn't commit to my quit but it scared the heck out of me. Maybe a chat with your Dr. could get you going in the right direction.

                            SL...got you checked off on the accountability list. You're good to go.

                            Det...sap #2 checking in. Good advice for Pauly, we'll just keep holding onto her till she figures it out. Congrats on passing, with HIGH marks, your apprentice test. And look you still have all your digits.

                            Time to kick back and relax. I think Salmon on the BBQ is in order tonight. Have a peaceful evening all........PPQP

                              Dang guys i do think it through,i've wrote every bad thing that can and will happen,for some reason i just cannot get the pieces together,i'm losing hope that this will ever be conquered for me,once an addict,always an addict,damn,damn,damn! i can't take antabuse,i'd be one of those who dare to drink on it,cripes,i can't keep doing this! but dang i can't keep not doing this,my mom is a 63 year old drinker,i can't imagine her sober,she wouldn't be the same,i seen her sober before in my teens,she was forlorn,just not her ugh,too much
                              I have too much shit to do today and tomorrow to drink:sohappy:
