Lollypop sticks

I think it is a bit worrying that a 40 year old has a container of lollypop sticks. 154 of them plus another 19 still stuck to the lollypops in my freezer. What the hell am I keeping them for - I don't know.

 

milk cartons and cup a soups

Leaking milk cartons
I’m mightily pissed off again. Milk cartons this time. I bought four pints on Wednesday night. I’d only drank half of that and tonight I bought two 6 pint cartons. The space in my fridge for keeping them upright can only contain two cartons. So one has to go on it’s side. I thought I’d try the four pint container. I go back half an hour later and see milk on the fridge floor. Well, now it’s one of the six pint containers that’s on it’s side. I’ll see if it’s any better.

Chicken cup a soups
They’re now making Bachelor’s Cup a Soup in jars. So I can put as much powder in a cup as I want – making it thicker than when using the sachets.

Musty smell and Blutak

So I washed my bedsheets but forgot to put them out to dry. I don't put them outside to dry I put them over a libe in my hallway. But they had lay in the washing machine for three days and had a musty smell about them. I can't even bung them straight back in the wash as they need to be dried before re-washed as the musty smell remains otherwise. They have been dried now and re-washed.....and guess what - I left them in the washing machine for a couple of days again. They don't have a musty smell this time.....yet. Otherwise it will be third time lucky.

BLU TAK
I love Blu Tax....especially when you've just taken a new batch out it's container. It's all flat and you can just yank both ends and stretch it like a rubber band.

Martina Hingis

Just thought I'd post the original of this pic before I merged it with a multi coloured sheep. I don't recall ever finding Miss Hingis all that attractive but dagnabbit she's attractive in this picture......and that's nothing to do with her nips showing through. 

Martini Hingis mixed in with a mulitcoloured sheep. 

Squirrels

There was a squirrel appeared in the back garden a short while. Man, can those little creatures move fast. I picked up my camera to take a picture of it and it was gone.....a few gardens down I saw it running along the wall. In my 40 years only twice have I seen a squirrel in this town and the first time was only a few weeks ago.

Happiness is..........

..........finding a micowavable cheeseburger in the freezer you didn't know you had.

Mmmm

This isn't a post to my blog - it is just easier to copy it here han to create a file on my own computer for it.

1). When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odour for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbours. They claim the odour is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

2). I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

3). I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual cleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offence.

4). Leviticus 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not to Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

5). I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states that he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

6). A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is a abomination of Leviticus 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?

7). Leviticus 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

8) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Leviticus 19:27. How should they die?

9). I know from Leviticus 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

10). My uncle has a farm. He violates Leviticus 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev. 24:10-16). Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14).

A funny sight

My brother chasing his van
A rather amusing sight today…..My brother came into the office where I work a couple of days a week. He was talking to me about this and that. From where he was talking to me he could see out the window to the street outside. All of a sudden he started running out the office. No explanation. He came back in and said the van was moving backwards…….and he was the van driver but he was inside talking to me. Luckily the van didn’t stray too far and didn’t make it on to the main road.

Cable clutter

Click on pic for a bigger version
This is the cable clutter at the side of my bed. This is where my head rests - just inches from this disaster just waiting to happen.
Jeeeeeeez - this place needs hoovered - BADLY.

Mightily pissed off now

Why is my "Google toolbar for Firefox" not installing. I just get their privacy policy page. No buttons o click to say I agree to their terms and conditions. I fucking hate it when two programs conflict with each other but they won't admit there is a conflict. It's doing my head in.

Ebay and gas men

The Gas Man cometh

Just had the gas man round. I found it funny he didn’t know whether he was here to read the gas or electricity. 2090 is the reading just in case I forget to take a note of it. Bloody obstacle course he must have been thinking as he had to carefully tread round all the things I have scattered on the floor.

Three Ebay auctions won in the one day
Just won three Ebay auctions – all from the same person. The git prefers to be paid by cheque.  What was even funnier was I beat the same person twice. He/She had previously put in bids. The second one he saw I had outbid him so upped his bid but I sneaked in with about 20 seconds to go. He must have been thinking I’m not getting done again.
(Probably a he as it was a non-league football books and the only time I see females at non-league games is when they are the partner of one of the players)

Bicycle clips

When am I going to take these freakin' bicycle clips off? I put them on this morning when I went to the restaurant to collect some invoices and pay their monthly bills (which I couldn't do because no-one knew where the box that keeps the invoices and cheque book were kept.....I'll need to go down tomorrow instead, which will suit me fine as I was up till 5:30am this morning).
I knew I had to go to the supermarket so I kept them on. I've now been to the supermarket and they're still on my legs. That's hours they've been on now. My feet will be blue with the circulation cut off.

Stupid dreams

I just spent ages trying to explain a dream I had but had to delete it because it was pointless. Who wants to know about my dreams anyway. Believe me, this dream was so boring you really don’t want to know about it. It basically involved a three year old girl doing a gymnastic move which was physically impossible in real life. It would have twisted the arms out of their sockets if she had succeeded in doing what she was trying. I was standing behind her and holding both her hands by her sides – and she was doing a move – the sort of thing you’d see a gymnast doing on parallel bars. But of the parallel bars she’d get to move her hands. In this dream I was holding them – hence why I said she would have twisted the arms out their sockets if it had been real life. So what does this dream mean all you dream analysts.

I’ve started singing into my computers microphone. My upstair neighbours have to put up arguing with myself – now they have to put up with my singing as well.

Where's my blogger add-in gone to now?

This is getting weird. The Blogging add-in for Word disappeared but now I’ve got it back.

I just wish that when I install a program that fucks with another program I would be told during the installation process. Why does Windows make things so complicated. I thought computers were meant to make things easy. Fucking geeks – I hate them all.

My wee toe
I smashed my wee toe off a pile of soup tins I’d left in a bag on my living room floor. Maybe if I kept things a bit tidier I wouldn’t have walked into them. I must have hit it with some force as it cut my toe open.

Unsmelly socks
I can’t believe my socks aren’t smelly. I’ve been wearing them all day. Maybe my nose is fucked. (A bit like Kate Moss’s I suppose………allegedly, in case any of her lawyers happen to read pointless blogs).

Imagine being called a 270

I thought it was bad being called a 269. But then to be called a 270. Imagine how hurt I was.

Missing the toilet

Probably a misleading title for the post - but I went to the toilet at around 11:30am on Monday morning. This is me now using the toilet for the first time since then at 1:05am Tuesday morning. That is not healthy. 13½ hours.

Cup competitions

My football team won a cup tie away from home on Saturday. No big deal. They were expected to win as it was against a club from a lower division. I knew our record in this competition was bad but I've just looked at their results in my lifetime (40 years). In that time we have only reached the third round of this competition on three occasions. OK, on one of those occasions we went on and won the cup. But three times in 40 years is dreadful. Especially as we've reached the 5th round and 6th round of the national competition quite a few times just in the last 15 years. Yet this cup, which has a third amount of teams as the national competition we have never done as well.

This cup began in 1927 (I won't bore you with the details of WHY it began) and it took my club (deliberately leaving the club name out) until 1947 before they won a game.

No game on saturday. What am I going to do? I could always look for a pair of rubber gloves and get friendly with Angus Kilroy.

Wireless mouse

Great idea - but if you use your computer for more than half an hour a day not so good. The odd behavious of the mose over the last fortnight was due to the batteries inside the mouse dying. All of a sudden the cursor would jump to the top of the page. If I was dragging files around my computer they would be copied to an unknown location. Folders would be moved and I've still to find some of them. So if this started a fortnight ago it means the batteries only last about three weeks with constant use.
I hate computers. I hate my Freesat. In fact I hate anything electronic. It is fucking me up tonight. I'm back to believing in an evil God with fuck all better to do than mess around with me. Hey God - why don't you blow something up then I know it's really you messing with my - rather than have a collection of small things go wrong. Ya big gobshite that you are. 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483 483

Advantages of word

Advantages of Word
The only real advantage of using Word 2003 to post to my blog is the spellchecker and I can see the post in a reasonable size. Other than that it’s shit.
Still haven’t got the proper monitor for this computer. It’s in the shop – just haven’t been able to persuade my brother to give me a lift to get the thing. I wish I’d learned to drive as a youth….but of course, my SA prevented me. This fucking SA has prevented me from doing everything.

This mouse of mine has got a mind of its own. It will suddenly just jump to the top of the page. First time I’ve used a mouse that doesn’t have a wire so maybe that’s what happens when the battery dies. What is it with me and dying batteries.
