Dead Parrots in Ancient Greece

November 13, 2008 By: Paul Category: Uncategorized

A Very Live Stuffed Parrot

Reported on the BBC today is the fact that researchers have found a joke book from ancient Greece containing what could be classed as the forerunner of the Monty Pythons Dead Parrot sketch.

Here is the link to the article http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7725079.stm

This parrot is just pining for fjords

They say nothing is new but this is just one of the best posted on the BBC page:

Someone needled a well-known wit: “I had your wife, without paying a penny”. He replied: “It’s my duty as a husband to couple with such a monstrosity. What made you do it?”

Until Next Time…

Try Saying

January 23, 2008 By: Paul Category: Uncategorized

It has been brought to management’s attention that some individuals throughout the building have been using foul language during the course of normal conversation with their colleagues.

Due to complaints received from some employees who may be easily offended,
this type of language will no longer be tolerated.
We do, however, realise the critical importance of being able to accurately
express your feelings when communicating with colleagues.

Therefore, a list of 13 New and Innovative ‘TRY SAYING’ phrases
have been provided so that proper exchange of ideas and information can
continue in an effective manner.

1. Try Saying:

I think you could do with more training

Instead Of:

You don’t have a f***ing clue, do you?

2. Try Saying:

She’s an aggressive go-getter.

Instead Of:

She’s a f***ing power-crazy b*tch

3. Try Saying:

Perhaps I can work late

Instead Of:

And when the f*** do you expect me to do this?

4. Try Saying:

I’m certain that isn’t feasible

Instead Of:

F*** off a*se-wipe

5. Try Saying:

Really?

Instead Of:

Well f*** me backwards with a telegraph pole

6. Try Saying:

Perhaps you should check with…

Instead Of:

Tell someone who gives a f***.

7. Try Saying:

I wasn’t involved in the project.

Instead Of:

Not my f***ing problem, mate.

8. Try Saying:

That’s interesting.

Instead Of:

What the f***?

9. Try Saying:

I’m not sure this can be implemented within the given timescale.

Instead Of:

No f***ing chance mate.

10. Try Saying:

It will be tight, but I’ll try to schedule it in

Instead Of:

Why the f*** didn’t you tell me that yesterday?

11. Try Saying:

He’s not familiar with the issues

Instead Of:

He’s got his head up his f***ing a*se.

12. Try Saying:

Excuse me, sir?

Instead Of:

Oi, f*** face.

13. Try Saying:

Of course, I was only going to be at home anyway

Instead Of:

Yeah, who needs f***ing holidays anyway.

Shame and me

It’s been a while since I wrote anythning for here. It’s not for the lack of trying, honestly. This blog has never been far from my mind and whenever there has been something to post the motivation to post it was never there. I put that down to my medication that at times saps my will to live, but there is no changing that so no use whining about it.

So an update on me….

I no longer drink caffine or use sugar in anything I eat or drink
I have lost over 14pounds in just over three months (won’t know for sure until i get weighed again)
I eat a lot healthier (very little chocolate and fatty foods)

What changed?……. I was diagnosed as being Diabetic.

I couldn’t possibly type what I thought when I was told this earth shattering news but once the news sunk in and I digested the fact that this was a life changing issue (more so than my bi polar in many ways), I became fine with it. You won’t hear me bemoan my lot as being diabetic (OK maybe when there is Chocolate cake on offer you may hear a little grumble).

I would rather i didn’t have it, but I am feeling so much better in myself now that I have HAD to make the changes in my life just so that I can survive and not end up in hospital after going into sugar shock.

I will be posting more often now that I have taken that leap again into posting.

Until Next Time…

Remember Me

October 25, 2006 By: Paul Category: Uncategorized

That music video pretty much sums up the past month or so for me. Major health problems kicking my ass.

We moved across town and the new house rocks. Living with my wife and mother has it’s moments. I really do love being nagged at and ragged on for twenty hours a day.. They sleep shifts so as not to give me to much free time to think I am a normal freak.

I haven’t worked since I moved in. Not all bad then you might say… The fuckin bills and stuff still need paying.. why can’t they take a break????

I am gonna look for a new theme and look for this monster. Oh yeah if it aint green then i was successful.. if it’s still green then I was SOL.

If anyone goes rooting through my archives and finds any images missing.. there is nothing i Can do about it.. I lost a whole gallery in the past month or so and a hell of a lot of images went with it, sorry folks.. I’ll draw you a picture if you ask nice enough.

Until Next Time ….
