    I took pity on a tramp sleeping rough in the doorway of my shop and offered him a job.

    He now holds the position of draught excluder.

    The two policemen sat opposite me, "We think you might be able to help with us our enquires."

    "I've done nothing wrong!" I protested.

    "We don't suspect you of anything. You just look cleverer than we are."

    Earlier there was a massive storm brewing and the wife was getting anxious.

    "Holy shit!" she bellowed as we looked out the window "Was that lightning?"

    I said, "No...they're taking pictures for Google Earth."

    I was explaining to my wife how sometimes I feel really high and then really low.

    She said, "Dave, get off the fcking swing."

    BBC NEWS: Titanic captain's cigar box found in Merseyside house.

    And there you have it: ultimate proof that Scousers are the best thieves in the world.

    The past year has been pretty traumatic for me.

    First I found out that the tooth fairy didn't exist, then I found out that superman isn't real and my parents were lying to me about Father Christmas.

    And if all that wasn't bad enough already, I'm starting to suspect that the bloke on the rice packets isn't really my uncle.

    The police have issued a photograph of a man they want in connection with a string of robberies in the South East.

    What I don't understand is: why they didn't keep hold of him after they'd taken his photo?

    Dear Sir/Madam, Your transgender operation was a partial success.

    I met this wonderful girl today, and we had so much in common. We both liked football, beer, pub food, and she even laughed at my offensive jokes.

    So, I took her back to my place and she sat me down and stripped totally naked.

    And it was at this point I saw we had something else in common.

    Good Monday morning Abbers!

    Cloudy & cool here today Mick but no rain, yay. And no gardening for me either. I am on kid duty today, going to watch my granddaughter for a while, tomorrow I will have the boys here after school for dinner. Busy, busy
    Sounds like your planter needs a false bottom with a plastic tray to catch the extra water. When yo figure that out make one for me too, please!

    bear, I hope you can settle down into a less hectic routine. Driving yourself so hard can't be a good thing.

    Pauly, I'll trade you My Little Pony for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, HA HA!!!

    PQ, more snow? That stinks, sorry. I really am looking forward to the arrival of Spring on Friday. I checked yesterday & not a single daffodil or tulip have made an appearance yet!

    Hello to everyone & wishing a great AF day for all!

      MAE ALL....we're blanketed in the white stuff this morning! We've accumulated 2.5 inches and it's starting to turn to freezing rain pellets. Grateful my commute is only 1 minute. LOL

      Mick...thanks for kicking us off. Glad to see you're living up to your successes. LOL No garden work for me today. As a matter of fact we've run into a snag with building/development permits from the City. May have to postpone the Pergola build till September. Nothings ever simple.

      Lav...morning to you. Back to kid duty I see. We've actually got some tulips coming through. Hope this snow doesn't kill them.

      Off to get a coffee, anyone want one? Have a Marvelous AF Monday all and all to come.....:smile:PPQP

          Hello Everyone! Got some laundry going this morning. Have run out of milk for my cereal though, so will just have a banana with a last cuppa joe, and call it breakfast. I've heard this begonia also referred to as angel wing. It does well in shady places. Occurs to me that getting a handle on the snail population would make sense before setting these lovelies in the ground.begonia.jpg

          Hibiscus are so beautiful, bougainvillea too, though I've not seen either grown indoors. I guess that's what a conservatory is for.

          Happy, sober Monday to you all.

            Pie, I hate running out of milk! Oh well, could be worse, right?
            Its a lot warmer where you are than where I am. Snowing here and 0C out. Oh well.
            Pauly, 80degrees? Nice.

            Hi ya Mick Unplugged. Thanks for the jokes.

            Have a great Un Hung Monday everyone.

              hey all,just back from work,on sofa in PJs no gym tonight - just chilling.
              Funny to read the messages saying to slow down,I was just thinking how much more relaxed I feel - I honestly feel really good,and didn't have my list of 'shoulds' .
              Tonight is super lazy and an early night,maybe a bubble bath, not sure.
              Have a happy sober Monday all

                  Yo Abber's near and not so far,

                  Happy to hear spring is on it's way in most parts up there!

                  All good here. Enjoying day 1 of a Deepak and Oprah, free, i say free 21 day meditation series. They come around from time to time and not too bad a way to start the day.

                  Have a beaut week everyone.

                    Hi Pauly, Sounds like you've got a gift for plant care. Any tips for keeping cut flowers fresh longer? I split a bunch of carnations into two small vases, one for kitchen windowsill, and the other on my desk. There's just something about fresh flowers!

                    Bear, sounds like you're well into your comfy evening. Nothing better than coming home from work, and changing into pjs.

                    Nar, yes, running out of milk is annoying. At least there was enough for coffee this morning, which will not be the case tomorrow, if I don't go out shortly to get some. Nice to have the freedom to drive anytime now that I'm not drinking.
