So what have you done today..?

Picked up my lads...well two of them - the other one's just passed his test and wanted to drive. The rest of us went to watch him get thrashed at rugby - he's 17 and has started playing for their seconds and thirds teams. Third son (4th kid) has football tomorrow so hopefully will restore some family honour.

 

its not the winning that counts.. its the taking part... but perhaps just remind em, if they dont win, they will be taking part in a homeless shelter...

 

Haha, if anyone ever says to you "it's not the winning, it's the taking part" ask them if they do the lottery.

 

I've just seen a modern-day copy of a portrait of Lord Nelson - not a patch on the original.

 

Took my catfish Colin to the vets in a bucket so that he could have his cancer removed. He looks dapper now

 

Bet it was a nice bucket too !!!

 

The best.. lol

 

That must be the first time those words have ever been put in that order in the history or the world.

 

Went out on the MTB this morning for a few miles, bloody hard going across a wet plouged field, certainly got the heart banging away . Some nice sights on my doorstep and so many people don't know it's there because they never get out .
Took the Xmas decs down and all put away in the loft . Went and did the food shopping with the mrs for brownie points . Just had dinner and watched wreck it ralph!

 

We just call it dogging around here.

 

I realised this morning, why author Ian Rankin has never appeared on the Jonathan Ross Show

 

However he did once make a speech on behalf of the bakers Rank Hovis!

 

@Carr01 Great to see your flying the national flag again,the union is back up & running.

 

Well yes, of course, I mean what else can one do?
I bit of support wouldn’t go astray!

 

took me a while also, but I wealised in the end.

 

The New Year diet starts today

 

Just realised it would have been J. R. R. Tolkien's birthday today.

I thought he was great in the Yellow Pages adverts.

 

My day started at 4am - eldest son, 21 and no.2 kid, was up with an upset stomach. He has severe autism, learning difficulties and is non verbal...it's hard when he's not well because he can't let us know what's wrong. He seems ok now and has just eaten some lunch.

Because of that, middle son drove youngest son to his football. They lost 4-1...so the family honour has been further disgraced following yesterday's rugby thrashing. Samurai swords will be issued - they know what they must do.

 

Seppuku (ritual disembowelment) or the vulgar term Hara-kiri more commonly used by Westerners, was traditionally carried out using a tanto (knife) or the wakizashi (short sword). It was impractical to use one of the longer katana family of swords (commonly called a Samurai sword) which is between 60 and 80 centimetres long. Andy
