What It Means To Be British.

Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for A

Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a

Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch

American shows on a Japanese TV. And the most British thing of all?

Suspicion of anything foreign.




Remember my post about Toga , well there is good news for the Parents.

My wife has always been interested in Dolls Houses, so while my sister was in england on holiday, she bought one for her.



It's called "copford" and its going to be in Victorian Style, so I got onto ebay and spent a few pennies.

Been greedy,grumpy,nasty,

Selfish or self indulgent.

However, I am going to get out of bed in a few minutes,

And I will need a lot more help after that.


Amen

A Cat's Prayer.

Now I lay me down to sleep
The king-size bed is soft and deep
I sleep right in the centre groove
My human can't hardly move
I've trapped her legs, she's tucked in tight
And this is where I pass the night.

No one disturbs me or dare intrude
'Til morning comes and I want food.
I sneak up slowly and begin
To nibble on my human's chin.
She wake up quickly, I have sharp teeth.
For the morning is here and it's time to play
I always seem to get my way.

So thank you Lord for giving me
This human person that I can see.
The one who hugs me and holds me tight
And sacrifices her bed for me at night!




Taken from This Web page.It has lots of goodies about cats.


We have a cat since we have been married (33 years) and the peom rings true with everyone of our feline's.

What Happened on New Year's Day ?

Here is just a few things I found that happened on New Years Day ...


1934: Prohibition (of alcohol) ends in US.


1941: In a speech decrying the war in Europe, Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt announces America's principles of "Four Freedoms" (freedom of speech, freedom of worship, and freedom from want and fear) desired for the world--freedoms which pointedly were not encouraged, then or later, for countries whose dictators were installed and/or supported by the US for Cold War purposes.


1942: Rose Bowl played in North Carolina due to the Japanese threat to Pasadena.


1960: The Man in Black--singer/ex-convict Johnny Cash--plays San Quentin, the first of many concerts he will perform for to prison inmates.

1983: Women break into cruise missile base and dance on silos. Greenham Common, Britain.


1986: USSR leader Mikhael Gorbachev asks for world ban on atomic weapons.



And then there is the Chinese Calendar , Which makes interesting reading.




And finally, Harrods Christmas Lights, and me Wishing You All a Happy New Year ..

Speeding Ticket.

A man in his 40's bought a new BMW and was out driving on the motorway at top speed when he suddenly saw flashing police lights behind him. 'There's no way they can catch a BMW,' he thought to himself and sped up even more. Then the reality of the situation hit him, 'What the heck am I doing?' he thought and pulled over. The policeman came up to him, took his license without a word, and examined it and the car.

"It's been a long day, it is the end of my shift, and it's Friday the 13th. I don't feel like more paperwork, so if you can give me an excuse for your driving that I haven't heard before, you can go."

The guy thinks for a second and says, "Last week my wife ran off with a policeman. I was afraid you were trying to give her back."

"Have a nice weekend," said the officer.

Men strike back.

Memory Card Gone Faulty

I have my sister and her husband over from New Zealand for the Xmas holidays. Yesterday we went up to London (Oh, I hate that place).

Anyway, my sister took lots of photographs and while taking one the camera went beserk and showed that all the photos were gone. On arrival at home I tried to download these pictures but all were lost.


So it was down to Google, and it came up with This

After downloading the trail version and running it, it found all the photos on the card, although I was unable to recover them until I have purchased the full version. I thought it was worth a shot so I bought it, entered the registration number and bingo. My sister now has all the photos she took in London to take back for her memories.


So, if you have a problem with your memory cards, try this program. It works a treat.
