    A lorry on its way to a Glasgow depot has overturned on the M8, spilling its entire cargo of pre-packed salad bags onto the carriageway.


    A police spokesman has warned drivers to expect delays of up to four minutes, while he picks them both up.
    My wife's so convinced of my psychic abilities, when our phone rings she'll ask me who's calling rather than pick it up to find out herself

    What's worse than an IOU?

    An IOEU.

    When you think about it, bubble wrap is just Clingfilm with acne

    Former US President George HW Bush has broken a bone in his neck after a fall.

    George Bush Junior was said to be concerned after a friend used some of his crayons to draw him a picture showing him where a neck is.

    After I'd seen a car forced off a road in Paris, the French police asked me to write a statement and a gendarme who spoke English volunteered to help me

    "What's 'to force' in French?" I asked him

    "Eight, - same as in England you stupid man!" he replied

    "Trump is running for president? That's insane, the idea that a moronic businessman with a long record of dim-witted statements could become president of the United States" Said George W Bush.

    What's the difference between a limbo dancer and a politician?

    A politician can get lower than a limbo dancer.

    Good morning Abbers, happy Friday to all!

    Mick, I think you should be charging for all the trips to airport!
    I love the clearance sales at the plant nurseries, yay! I had a real good time with the girls yesterday & no talk of Minecraft. Of course the main topic of conversation was finding the 'perfect princess castle', ha ha!! I'm glad I chose yesterday to make that trip because the heat & humidity are making a return today. My daughter is building a rock wall in her yard, it's looking pretty good.

    Greetings to the whole gang! I'll check in later after a trip to Curves this morning & some work stuff this afternoon. I am dog sitting this weekend - the ITs will be here sometime today.
    Have a great AF day one & all!

      The solution to the Greek Problem
      It is a slow day in a little Greek Village.
      The rain is beating down and the streets are deserted.
      Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.
      On this particular day a rich German tourist is driving through the village, stops at the local hotel and lays a €100 note on the desk, telling the hotel owner he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night.
      The owner gives him some keys and, as soon as the visitor has walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the €100 note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.
      The butcher takes the €100 note and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer.
      The pig farmer takes the €100 note and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel.
      The guy at the Farmers' Co-op takes the €100 note and runs to pay his drinks bill at the taverna.
      The publican slips the money along to the local prostitute drinking at the bar, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer him "services" on credit.
      The hooker then rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill to the hotel owner with the €100 note.
      The hotel proprietor then places the €100 note back on the counter so the rich traveller will not suspect anything.
      At that moment the traveller comes down the stairs, picks up the €100 note, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money, and leaves town.
      No one produced anything.
      No one earned anything.
      However, the whole village is now out of debt and looking to the future with a lot more optimism.
      And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how the Greeks will pay off their Eurozone debts.

        Never thought of it that way before, Mick! Seems like money is just an idea now anyway and that sort of shows how it works.

        Lav, I thought of you yesterday when I listened to this story about backyard chickens.

                        MAE ALL....YAY...it's Friday and the weekend is here.

                        Mick...thanks for kicking us off this morning. Eye is still not healing, I'm back to drops every 4 hours. I really think it has a lot to do with all the stress I've been under at work. Boss decided the British Open is more important than work and he's been MIA. Building super is back on Monday so that's one job I can take off my plate. Board members are starting to notice the boss is never around and that I am dealing with everything. Apparently boss gave his notice at the last board meeting and he will be done next August. He hasn't informed the staff yet though. Love the solution to the Greek problem and that's a second vote for Mick for president.

                        Lav...good luck with the IT's this weekend.

                        NS...thanks for the info on backyard chickens. Not that I have any but know people who do.

                        Pauly...so what won out, mental health or getting out? Hope your day was good which ever way it turned out.

                        Pi...are you going to miss SG being around? I'm glad she was a good fit for you.

                        Bear...I think I need to get active to deal with my stress to. You are a good influence on me.

                        Det...glad Dx made it home safe a sound. Bummer you had to hang around the airport so long. Enjoy your hike/shoot tomorrow.

                        Simple supper, hot dogs on the BBQ, early to bed with my book and sleeping in tomorrow. Other than my Dad visit tomorrow the rest of the weekend is going to be me time. Heaven help the first person that asks me to do something for them. LOL Have a peaceful evening all, see you in the morning......:smile:PPQP

                          Mick for president & PQ for VP

                          NS, there is absolutely NO CHICKEN KISSING allowed here - trust me!!!! And I won't bring one in the house either.
                          I've always made a big point with the kids about hand washing after we collect eggs & all that. I also pitch any cracked eggs ~ don't trust them

                          Pauly, we really need to find you a hobby. What do you think?

                          Det, glad Dx is home safe & sound. Sorry about the late night flight arrival, that's tough.

                          PQ, I really hoped you had better news about your eye, sorry. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you :hug:

                          My brain is turning off, time to end this day! Peace to all!
