Guys guys guys,
How can you be so heartless.
Can you not just imagine that poor coffee cream sitting alone in a wharehouse somewhere, feeling unloved, lonely.
It needs to break free, it needs to be cared for, not snubbed like some one hit wonder boy band.
Mmmmm
Well I suppose
Dragon avec une couronne deux pronged
Not exactly exciting, although if I was French, who would give a shit anyway, I could call myself anything as long as I had the accent and obvioulsy that certain va va voom
Bugger, where did I put my car keys
Errr, ok what bastard turned the light off
Or my sentimental side
I lived a life full of dreams
I lived a life full of joy
I lived a life full of sorrow
I lived my life, I died my death
a huge trout does it for me.
Or possibly a wet newspaper
Oh bugger got me thinking now - and thats dangerous ...........
Eyes, definatly eyes.
As mentioned, I think you can tell so much from someones eyes.
Only once I have I gazed into someone's eyes and seen happiness, laughter, compassion, intrigue. But especially laughter, that ability to have spontaneous laughter for no apparent reason . Funnily enough, that was the only woman I ever fell in love with.
Isn’t it amazing how many truths come out in this forum. Sort of stuff that you would never admit to anyone else, but does not seem a problem to mention it on SH to thousands of people.
Ok, so to my extended family (SH) the following was my joint worst drunken thing, there have been too many to mention here, but this ranks a joint first.
To set the scene I was on holiday with a good friend, both of us about 19. One night we went to a huge caravan type establishment, you know the sort, huge bar, huge dancefloor. Obviously on the look out for unattached women, we headed for the bar to look out over the dancefloor fingers crossed.
Well there didn’t seem to be anyone there under the age of 50 so we just continued to drink…. and drink…….. and drink ……….
Eventually completely sozzled the 50 yr old women were looking more and more attractive, so when “The Model†by Kraftwork came on – I thought – aha – time to impress the women, I need to strut my stuff on the dancefloor. Bearing in mind that, on a dancefloor, I look like the wibbly wobbly man wibblywobbling with 2 left feet I decided that it was essential to do the robot like dance (not sure if all you guys will remember that style).
Well there I was, for the whole song in my drunken stupor thinking I was god’s gift, parading around like Robbie The Robot. When the song eventually finished I realised that I was the only one on the dancefloor with 150 middle aged people looking on thinking “what the fuck was thatâ€.
The DJ made it even worse by not saying a word, honestly you could have heard a pin drop as I just stood there. After what seemed like an eternity a little old lady clapped and then winked at me, she could have been my great great grandmother.
Hands in pockets, head down, as I quietly left the dancefloor thinking bugger, I have sobered up
A friend sent me the attached today, and probably just because of the way I am feeling right now, I thought it would be nice to share it with you all.
I realise it is probably doing the email rounds, so to those who have alreadyy seen it, i apologise.
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar... and the coffee...
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a infamous "yes."
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things. Your family, your children, your faith, your health, your friends, and your favourite passions. Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter. Your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else. The small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."
Whilst in a restaurant a little while ago the guy on the next table was heard to remark to the waiter upon receiving his Tiger Prawns
"Are these fresh"
Finally got round to popping something in this thread.
First off, a huge thank you to Shireen & Steve for hosting and of course Voddy for doing such a sterling job in helping to organise.
Once again it was great to see some familiar faces and meet with new ones.
It was a fabulous evening, although I must be getting old, because I did start to feel the cold towards the end. Dawn, how you just had a t-shirt on all night god knows, although the view certainly warmed me a little.
The best thing for me about these things is finally being able to face to name, and actually to say hi in the real, rather than virtual world. I still get so surprised how my imagination of someone is so far from reality, obviously always positively.
The only thing I really regretted from the evening was not having a good heart to heart with Mr and Mrs DaveJ, only because I knew, if I got close enough I would be feeling Mrs DaveJ’s leg to ascertain if it was a hard or soft wood.
All in all a fabulous night, well attended by fabulous people.
Cheers guys
Even with a munch going on tonight I am sure you will still get a lot of takers.
Best of luck.
Totally agree, it was just embarrassing to watch.
Although saying that the Blacks were awesome in those conditions.
It does make you wonder if we can turn it around at all for next week.
