    right peeps..just confirmed out tomorrow early doors...this time a forage into Cheshire...not very far...

    and now ..da da........the answers....


    This is a most unusual paragraph. How quickly can you find out
    what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary, you'd think
    nothing was wrong with it and in fact, nothing is wrong with it.
    It IS unusual, why? Study it. Think about it and you may find
    out. Try to do it without coaching. If you work at it for a bit,
    it will dawn on you. So jump to it! Try your skill at figuring it
    out! Good Luck - Don't blow your cool! THE LETTER E DOES NOT APPEAR ANYWHERE


    what are the next 3 letters in the sequence ottffss......EIGHT NINE TEN...ENT

    why are 2013 dollars worth more than 2012 dollars? THERE ARE 2013 OF THEM A DOLLAR MORE

    you chase a horse into a forest....how far in will it get? HALF WAY..AFTER THAT ITS COMING OUT

    HARD PUZZLE....Take 9 from 6,10 from 9 and then 50 from 40........your answer is 6 can you work it out?

    OK HERE WE GO ...Change it into Roman numerals!!!!!!!


    SIX – 9 (IX)= S
    9 (IX) – 10 (X) = I
    40 (XL) – 50 (L)= X

    SIX

    this was the other answer that I didnt get...not convinced tho......

    9 from 6 = -3
    10 from 9 = -1
    50 from 40 = -10

    -3 – -10 + -1 = 6

    have a great day....

    Depression is that illness you develop when you're watching Jeremy Kyle Show.

    I walked into a pub and said, 'Pint of lager please, barsteward.'

    He said, 'Oi! Don't call me that, you cheeky git.'

    I replied, 'Sorry about that. Pint of lager please, glasswipe.'

    Ok, so my neighbours officially hate me. Me and a few mates were having a bonfire in the backyard, and we were roasting marshmallows and stuff when suddenly we hear sirens, and see a firetruck turn into the street in front of us. So we all went running to see what was up, and our neighbour's house was on fire!
    Well, when we got there, the wife was crying into her husbands arms, and we were just kinda standing there, and then she saw us, and then like for 10 seconds, gave us the dirtiest look ever..
    Turns out, we were still holding our sticks with marshmallows on it, watching the fire....

    Talk about bad timing...

    Why did my wife cross the road?

    To get back to the first shoe shop we went in three bleedin hours ago.

    Pavarotti knocks on the pearly gates,
    St Peter opens them and says,
    "Oh its you Luciano, come on in",
    Pavarotti says,
    "Here's an envelope for you from the pope"
    St Peter opens it and reads...
    "Here's that tenor I owe you"

    A bloke is sitting reading the morning paper when his wife comes into the kitchen.

    "Look at this", he says, "there's a great sale on tyres at the moment."

    "What do you want tyres for? You haven't even got a car!" his wife says.

    "Yeah, but I don't complain when you go out and buy bras do I?" replies the bloke

    I've recently been encouraging my sixteen year old daughter to find a job to help pay for her college education. Last week she came home with five applications and later that night I read them.

    Under "previous employment", she listed, "babysitter".

    Under "reason for leaving", she wrote, "they came home".

    U2 has a concert that starts in 17 minutes and they must all cross a bridge to get there. All four men begin on the same side of the bridge. You must help them across to the other side. It is night. There is one flashlight. A maximum of two people can cross at one time. Any party who crosses, either 1 or 2 people, must have the flashlight with them. The flashlight must be walked back and forth, it cannot be thrown etc.

    Each band member walks at a different speed. A pair must walk together at the rate of the slower man's pace:

    Bono:- 1 minute to cross
    Edge:- 2 minutes to cross
    Adam:- 5 minutes to cross
    Larry:-10 minutes to cross

    For example: if Bono and Larry walk across first, 10 minutes have elapsed when they get to the other side of the bridge. If Larry then returns with the flashlight, a total of 20 minutes have passed and you have failed the mission.

    Happy Saturday, Abbers!

    Thanks for the kind words, Mick, and for the puzzle solutions. Never did spot the missing "e", and your own solution to the math problem makes more sense to me than the roman numerals. Out on a mystery jaunt tomorrow morning, eh?

    SL, you may have brought me luck on the handyman front, as one is due here in a few hours. We'll see.

    PQ, what are you reading?

    Hoping to help out at a canine event this afternoon. Will pop in again later.

      Good morning Abbers,

      Sunny & a chilly 18 degrees at the moment but the skies are clear, yay!

      Thanks for the start up Mick & the coffee.
      Not sure what I'm doing today, not going to the farm show, that's for sure, Ha Ha!!!!

      Pie, good luck with the home repairs. It's hard finding someone reliable & actually willing to show up & do the work.
      A dog show sounds like fun, enjoy!

      Greetings to PQ, hope you're feeling lots better today!
      Greetings SL, Pauly, Sam, NS, TT & everyone. Where's Det??

      Have a great AF Saturday everyone. I need to go figure out what I'm doing today.

        Good luck with the handyman Pie...
        Mick - I do enough around the house - I get someone in about every six months for things that are just too much, or that I don't have the tools for - I got a lot of the kitchen stuff, he got most of the garage stuff, so starting to collect tools is not what I feel like doing just now...and I do manage to pack my days pretty full.
        seems you maybe feeling better Lav - that was pretty quick if so...
        Managed my walk, it was cold and cloudy so not a pretty walk, but managed to get my blood stirring..

          Mae everybody, drained and tired today,didn'tpost this morning cuz it would've been a whiny rant about hating working Saturday, hating the cold,being congested same ole same ole,it was just one of those mornings where you wish you could rewind and wake up on the right side of the bed,I took a half-assed walk,grr,really wasn't worth it anyways,and I couldn't find my beanie that covers my ears so I got earaches,for some reason my ears are sensitive to cold,when we used to live in California I would have to cover my ears when we went to the beach,even in summer, weirdo,anyway I hope everyone is having a good Saturday
          I have too much shit to do today and tomorrow to drink:sohappy:

          I'm taking care of the "tomorrow me":thumbsup:
          Drinkin won't help a damn thing! Will only make me sick for DAYS and that ugly, spacey dumb feeling-no thanks!

                Evening all
                well, I didn't make it to the banjo release party, the wife got sick and when she gets sick, she's a mess. She has very low blood pressure normally so when she's sick, she''ll pass out at the drop of a hat so..... got into a plumbing project that I've put off forever. It lived up to its pain in the ass plumbing fix as do most plumbing fixes. Not complaining (much). In any event the wifey is better so that is a good thing. It was probably the glue smell that made her feel better. She's watching her Downtown Abbey discs, there but so much of that I can take. A program where main characters die in the bat of an eye and there never any resolution.

                thanks for the teasers Mick, enjoyed the math one, figured it the second way.
                Poor snow man melted!!

                Hope everyone had a super saturday.
