I could not findthe happiness in my city and till now is lonely. For myself I haveresolved to search for the love in other country.

Dorset Holiday

April 21st, 2009

Just got back from a marvellous relaxing two-week holiday in Dorset, and thought I’d take the opportunity to pass on some recommendations to anyone visiting the area.

Hembury Mill

Where we stayed, wonderful welcoming, tastefully renovated property with all mod cons.  Peaceful and relaxing mainly because it’s at the bottom of a valley with no mobile reception!

The Spyway Inn

Great pub only a short stagger along a public footpath from the Mill, great beer, great food, very welcoming and child friendly.

Monkeyworld

Well worth a visit to see it’s contented, well-treated colonies of monkeys, most of whom have been rescued from horrible conditions.

The Tank Museum

If you’re in to tanks in any way, this is the place for you, more tanks than you could shake a stick at.  Everything from a WWI Mark I to a Challenger 2.

Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre

If you’re wanting to hunt fossils on the Jurassic Coast then this is the place for you.  The offer an excellent fossil hunting guided walk which is virtually guaranteed to get you finding fossils.  Both my son and I came back with a pocketful!

John Prescott – Ignoramus

March 27th, 2009

It would appear that the lovely personage who is John Prescott MP has stated that “nothing good ever came out of bloody Norfolk since Oliver Cromwell”.

Clearly Mr Prescott is an ignorant, uneducated, twerp,  Oliver Cromwell ACTUALLY comes from Cambridgeshire, and obviously he’s completely unaware of such unimportant people as Horatio Nelson, Robert Walpole (The first Prime Minister, a position that Prescott will never achieve!), Turnip Townshend (founder of modern agriculture) and Captain Vancouver  (helped to discover the New World) all of whom DID come from Norfolk.

You just stay in Hull Mr P. which is well known as the centre of the universe.  Don’t bother coming to Norfolk, you might get egg on your suit to match your face!

And we WILL thump you back!

Child Support Agency Forms

March 10th, 2009

These made me laugh, so I’m passing them on:

The following are all replies that Manchester women have written on Child Support Agency Forms in the section for listing “father’s details;” or putting it another way….

Who’s your Daddy?

These are genuine excerpts from the forms. .

1. Regarding the identity of the father of my twins, Makeeshia was fathered by Maclearndon McKinley I am unsure as to the identity of the father of Marlinda, but I believe that she was conceived on the same night.

2. I am unsure, as to the identity of the father of my child as I was being sick out of a window when taken unexpectedly from behind. I can provide you with a list of names of men that I think were at the party if this helps.

3. I do not know the name of the father of my little girl. She was conceived at a party at 360 East Bolton Avenue where I had sex with a man I met that night. I do remember that the sex was so good that I fainted. If you do manage to track down the father, can you please send me his phone number? Thanks.

4. I don’t know the identity of the father of my daughter. He drives a BMW that now has a hole made by my stiletto in one of the door panels. Perhaps you can contact BMW service stations in this area and see if he’s had it
replaced.

5. I have never had sex with a man. I am still a Virginian. I am awaiting a letter from the Pope confirming that my son’s conception was ejaculate and that he is the Saver risen again.

6. I cannot tell you the name of Alleshia dad as he informs me that to do so would blow his cover and that would have cataclysmic implications for the economy. I am torn between doing right by you and right by the country . Please
advise.

7.Tyrone Hairston is the father of child A If you do catch up with him, can you ask him what he did with my AC/DC CDs? child B who was also borned at the same time…..well, I don’t have clue.

8. From the dates it seems that my daughter was conceived at Euro-Disney World; maybe it really is the Magic Kingdom.

9. So much about that night is a blur. The only thing that I remember for sure is Gordo Ramsey did a programme about eggs earlier in the evening.. If I had stayed in and watched more TV rather than going to the party at 56 Miller St, mine might have remained unfertilized.

10. I am unsure as to the identity of the father of my baby, after all, like when you eat a can of beans you can’t be sure which one made you fart.

Flock – A Useful Social Networking Tool

March 4th, 2009

Recently I have been looking at Flock a ‘Social Networking Browser’.  It’s a network browser like Firefox or Internet Explorer, but it incorporates tools for Social Networking Sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Digg, YouTube  et al.

I’m finding it a really useful way of keeping in touch with all of these without having to browse between all of them or having a multitude of browser windows open or loads of notification utilities advising you of updates.

If you’re struggling to keep up with everything, I recommend you give it a try, it’s free, so what do you have to lose!

Tonight’s Crimewatch Update

February 17th, 2009

Check out this dodgy geezer inspecting the rear of my property, not behaving suspiciously at all!  As he’s having such a good look it’s a shame he missed the CCTV camera pointing straight at him!!


The police now have a copy of this, if anyone knows who he is I’d be grateful to know!

Happy Darwin Day

February 12th, 2009

Today is Darwin Day, and in honour of this memorable event the Open University have a ‘Devolve me’ page on their website.  If you present it with a photograph of yourself it will project you back in time.

The page can be found here.

1.8-millionThis, apparently is what I looked like 1.8 million years ago (seems like only yesterday!)  It’s good to see Specsavers were already going strong then.

Domain Registration Scam

February 11th, 2009

I received this email today:

Dear Manager,

We received a formal application from a person who is called John Alldis is applying to register "idaa" as their domain names and Internet brand in Hong Kong and also in Asia on 2009-02-11. During our auditing procedure we find out that the alleged John Alldis has no trade mark,brand nor patent even similar to that word.As authorized anti-cybersquatting organization we hereby suspect the alleged John Alldis to be a domain or trademark grabber.Hence we need you confirmation for two things.First of all,whether this alleged John Alldis is your business partner or distributor in Asia.Secondly,whether you are interested in registering these domains and Internet brand instead of that alleged person.(The alleged John Alldis will be entitled to obtain a domain not needed by original trademark owner.)

If you are not in charge of this please forward this email to appropriate dept.

This is a letter for confirmation.If the mentioned third party is your business partner or distributor in Asia,please DO NOT reply.We will automatically confirm application from your business partner after this audit procedure.

Best Regards,

Judy Lau
Registration Commissioner
Sponsoring Registrar:Asia Network
Tel: +852 3118 1808

Being a cynical so-and-so I smelled a scam and did some research, and it seems my instincts were right, it is a scam.

Basically if you’re foolish enough to respond they will get back to you offering to register the domain names for you for a few hundred dollars.

If you really do want to register some domain names, get in touch with me, and I’ll do it a lot cheaper.  Or I can charge you hundreds of dollars if you really do want to be ripped off!

Get a grip Microsoft!

February 6th, 2009

It seems the new version of Windows, known as Windows 7 will not be able to upgrade from Windows XP.

Microsoft……. THIS IS STUPID……. Many people have missed out Windows Vista and will probably be going straight from XP to W7, and you’re going to force them to wipe their PC’s and reinstall!

Those of us of the nerdy persuasion will know that to wipe and reinstall is always the best option, however, less technical users will want to insert the CD and upgrade.

I predict a lot of users will be sticking with XP until they upgrade then will buy a PC with W7 pre-installed.

Six degrees of separation?

February 5th, 2009

My wife is tracing her family tree and managed to contact a distant cousin.  When the cousin heard my wife’s married name she asked if she knew of a Robert Afford.

Cutting a long story short it transpires that my wife’s distant cousin is married to my uncle’s former business partner.

Small world or what?
