'B'Limericks

Ok, somebody is trying to steal my thunder.......Now I'm not one to name names, but Deridre you know who you are.

So, I throwing out a challenge to all you readers (reader?).

See if you can beat Deirdre's attempt!!  I, of course, already did.

Stuff

Why do people slow down when approaching the 'barrier free toll' on the M50, it so an upside down six (that's annoying (a 9), for anyone who doesn't have a teenager handy to translate!)

Speaking of teenagers, I won't have one around the house for very much longer.  No, he's not leaving home just going to be 20 soon!  Should I be sad or glad.  Does it mean when they turn 20 that they suddenly become an adult and do adult like things, like slow down on approach..........oh wait!

Three witches just knocked on my door, typical, never a witch around when you want one and then three come together.  I like Halloween, it's the only day of the year that I don't have to wear a mask! :-)

(Hic)

Another letter, another bottle of Moet.  I think I like this (hic) job.........

John Keats

Give me women, wine, and snuff
Untill I cry out "hold, enough!"
You may do so sans objection
Till the day of resurrection:
For, bless my beard, they aye shall be
My beloved Trinity.

I think he beats me at the Limerick writing..........

Go Jools!!

Wow.  What an evening of entertainment.
I don't know where to start.  From the very beginning it was pure music magic.  I have never see a bunch of musicians so happy in their work.  From the minute they came on stage they were in entertaining mode.  Oh sorry, did I tell you where I was?  Me and Kev went to see Jools Holland and his Big Band! Big being the operative word here, they were larger than life, every one of them.  I am trying to think of some adjectives to use to describe them and I think the only one really is Cool!!  Cool with a hat (seems to be a pre-requisite for being in the band) and the funky-er the better!!  But good as they were, there was no dancing.  Hmmm....anyway Jools played, his 'guest stars' sang, all good.  Then he brought on Alison Moyet. Wow again, what an entertainer, she sang 'Love Letters' and 'Only You' and a couple of others.  Looks very different to the Alison I remember.  Only getting over her and then he introduced the 'Queen' of Boogie Woogie.....Ruby Turner!!  OMG and then there was dancing!!  What a powerhouse of song, so entertaining, the crowd were on their feet in seconds.  She rocked the joint!  Even Kevin was on his feet, and he had no idea who she was.  We had a great time.  Oh yeh and the drum solo, was just OK..........!

Bank Holiday Weekend

At last a day off.  Three in a row actually, bliss!  Looking forward to the weekend, which will be full of family fun.  Hope you all are too, thats if there is anybody actually reading this!

I'm sitting here watching the planes taking off, wishing I was on one of them.  I wouldn't really mind where it was going, anywhere would be nice.  Before I moved offices last week, I could see straight out the window right into the take off path (not sure if that's the right wording!) of the jets, and if I had nothing to do (hmmm) I could look up the departures on the DAA web site and try and guess which flight it was.  Sad or what??  Now I have a lovely new working environment in proper offices with a real desk, instead of a makeshift one in a Portocabin, but I have to turn around to see the planes!  The new Terminal building is in my way a bit, but I can still see some of them take off, with the use of a complicated set of mirrors and wire that I have devised!!  I have turned into Mcgiver (is that how you spell his name?).  I may get a job in the world of construction yet.  Although I would have to have some structural engineering people look at my invention - read contraption!  Anyway, it's interesting.  It's interesting working here too sometimes, just the other day, my boss gave me a bottle of Moet for typing a letter for him.  Should I tell him that that's what I am here for, or should I offer to type a novel?  Watch this (aero)space......

Old men in leather trousers

This time two weeks ago I went to see Sting.  Not that I would normally like to look at 59 year old men in tight leather trousers, but in this instance I made an exception.  I was very glad I did. It was an amazing performance from the man and the orchestra, who really got into the swing (sorry!) of things.  But I am confused (as usual)!  The tour is named Symphonicity, but he is touring with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Why not a Symphony orchestra?  And whats the difference?  Answers on my desk by 9am tomorrow. 

note:  I know I can look this up on the net, but this is way more fun!

An interesting shower

Thanks for all the novel suggestions for my blog, my favourite being 'An Interesting Shower' provided by an anonymous brother of mine (Declan, you know who you are!). 

Once again I have been inspired to write an Limerick

"There was an interesting shower
that used up a awful lot of power,
you step right on in,
and loose most of your skin!
But it would grow back again in an hour!"

So unless you want more of these terrible Limericks, you can stop with the suggestions now!

My hands were cold walking the dog this evening.  I have a rule, hats, gloves and heating don't go on until November.  Dilemma!!  Should I break the rule, or stop walking the dog?
