for those struggling..dont stop stopping..you will get there never say never it is hard ..then somewhere a little trigger in the head will say ..Im having some of that
for those thinking about giving up ..dont think act!! you wont regret the choice..being able to do things without asking the bottle first!!

My wife is great at squash.

Apparently Andy Murray is searching for answers as to why he was knocked out from Wimbledon yesterday.
Well Andy, I thought I'd help you by searching on Google. And, the answer is...
You are Shit.
Does anyone know a cure for excessive ear wax?
If you do, please give me a shout.
The person who invented the giant hedge maze realised that you could make them pay for their own upkeep if you could sell things to people as they went round.
And thus, the first Ikea was invented.
Google announced last night that they're launching a new security feature to make it harder for governments to spy on us in the future.
Then they went back to driving around, taking pictures of the street that you live on.
I visited the Louvre art gallery in France last week.
I asked if it was okay to take a picture and they said it was.
I must say, the Mona Lisa looks pretty damn good on my living room wall
My son said to me, "Dad, I'm sorry I forgot to get you something for Father's Day."
"That's okay, son," I said, "I forget things all the time too."
"Like what?" he asked
"Like the time I forgot to wear a condom and ended up with an ungrateful little git in my life," I said
Decided to learn some French to get into the spirit of things.
Today I learned ?��Hors d'oeuvres?��....... and that was just for starters.
My wife was looking at an evening dress and asked me what I thought,
"It's lovely, " I said, "do they have it in your shape?"
I can't work out whether these Jeremy Kyle shows I've been watching are repeats or whether it's just the fact that all the guests look like the same toothless f.cking inbreds that have been on there before.
see you
