This made me smile this morning:
Stop saying "vinyls". Doing so makes you sound like you buy your music exclusively from Urban Outfitters.
....and while we're at it, the plural of Lego is Lego and when you cook pasta tubes in a cheese sauce, it's bloody well called macaroni cheese, not 'mac and cheese'!

It's about time we did something more positive to train drivers.
How to use motorways and skid control SHOULD be on the syllabus, perhaps after passing the normal test and running around for 12 months on a green P (for provisional) plate.
And as for motorcycles, there should be an upper power limit for new drivers.

It was certainly very slippery around our way earlier, I did find myself wondering how new drivers would cope. The usual driving too fast by a few was in evidence.

Watching grand daughter last night singing and dancing al on her own.
A rather noisy, not perfect nearly 2 years old I was very taken by that.

I learnt about a fascinating piece of family history today and it made me smile a lot.
My dad has been researching our family tree for well over a decade now and has made some incredible progress, following some lines a long, long way back. He received an email today with a scan of part of a document that states that in the tenth year of his reign ( I make that 1519 ) Henry VIII gave special dispensation to my great, great, great......(14 greats) grandfather so that he would not have to remove his hat when he was before the King. The reason being because of "certayne diseases and infirmities which he hath and dayly susteineth in his head, he cannot conveniently without great danger be discovered of the same". The document goes on to say that it is a licence for him to keep his bonnet on in the presence of the King and that no-one should hinder or harm him should he choose to do so.
Reading between the lines, Henry didn't want to look at the poor bloke's scabby head!

Much the content of You've been Framed and most of the internet clip TV shows. Some of the incidents I've accidentally seen look potential life threateners Spare a thought for some of those pensioners getting a broken hip and similar Seeing the fit and healthy doing something stupid, coming a cropper and looking like the idiots they are is ok though  |
