I'd kill for a Nobel Peace prize.



Evening all.  I am feeling recharged and ready to once again face work.  When I say it like that, it makes it sound worse than it is.  I am one of those lucky enough to love my work, and I really like where I am working.  Of course, at the moment, I am having to spend more time away from my family, which is a pity as they give me so much strength.

Today for example, I managed to sleep until about eight o'clock.  Which is a major lie in when you have kids!  Considering I was working till midnight, that was a sleep I really needed.  So afterwards, I got to spend time with them, feeding them.  Ideally I would have liked to relax, but they wanted to go to the newsagents.  Or rather, the sweetie shop.  Well, it just happens to sell newspapers, magazines and the like.  You see, my wife does her best to feed them healthy food, ideally organic produce, and I take them on walks and then tank them up with e-numbers and sugar.  But afterwards, we went to the park.  And it rained.  Now this would not be a problem if they were wearing any of the many coats that they have with hoods.  But both wanted not to wear coats with hoods.  And the moron that I am, I let them.  This would have been a sensible suggestion had I taken them for a walk when they wanted to go.  It was sunny then.  But I was too lazy (or tired).  And by the time I had done a man-clean I then took them out when the sky was grey.  And then the clouds got darker.  So by the time that we went to the playground it started to spit.  And then rain. Luckily my wife had woken up and drove to pick up the kids.  And as it was not raining too hard, they were not that wet.  And they had a great time.  As did I.




I was hoping to watch the Arsenal game.  But the kids would not let me.  I did get to watch the highlights though.  I also got to watch bits of the news, notably the interview of IDTS about the Con-Dems views on getting people back to work.  To be fair, if the plans work, it will be great.  My solution is a bit controversial.  A Citizen's income.  And then there is no problems for those on benefits going into work.  

Anyway, take care all, and I hope you like this.


Bob, a 70-year-old, extremely wealthy widower, shows up at the Country Club with a breathtakingly beautiful and very sexy 25 year- old blonde who knocks everyone's socks off with her youthful sex appeal and charm.

She hangs onto Bob's arm and listens intently to his every word.

His buddies at the club are all aghast.

At the very first chance, they corner him and ask, "Bob, how did you get the trophy girlfriend?"

Bob replies, "Girlfriend? She's my wife!"

They're amazed, but continue to ask. "So, how did you persuade her to marry you?"

"I lied about my age", Bob replies.

"What, did you tell her you were only 50?"

Bob smiles and says, "No, I told her I was 90."
