Ages Of Man
Published by Rick on Wednesday, April 29, 2009.
You are in the middle of some kind of task around the house: mowing the lawn, painting the living room, changing a light bulb or whatever. You are hot and sweaty, covered in dirt or paint. You have your old work clothes on. You know the outfit - shorts with the hole in crotch, old T-shirt with a stain from who knows what, and an old pair of tennis shoes.
Right in the middle of this great home improvement project you realize you need to run to Homebase to get something to help complete the job.
Depending on your age you might do the following:
In your 20's:
Stop what you are doing. Shave, take a shower, blow dry your hair, brush your teeth, floss, and put on clean clothes. Check yourself in the mirror and flex. Add a dab of your favorite cologne because you never know, you just might meet some hot chick while standing in the checkout line. And anyway, you went to school with the pretty girl running the register.
In your 30's:
Stop what you are doing, put on clean shorts and shirt. Change shoes. You married the hot chick so no need for much else. Wash your hands and comb your hair. Check yourself in the mirror. Still got it. Add a shot of your favorite cologne to cover the smell. The cute girl running the register is the kid sister to someone you went to school with.
In your 40's:
Stop what you are doing. Put a sweatshirt that is long enough to cover the hole in the crotch of your shorts. Put on different shoes and a hat. Wash your hands. Your bottle of Brute Cologne is almost empty so you don't want to waste any of it on a trip to Homebase. Check yourself in the mirror and do more sucking in than flexing. The spicy young thing running the register is your daughter's age and you feel weird thinking she is spicy.
In your 50's:
Stop what you are doing. Put a hat on, wipe the dirt off your hands onto your shirt. Change shoes because you don't want to get dirt in your new sports car. Check yourself in the mirror and you swear not to wear that shirt anymore because it makes you look fat The Cutie running the register smiles when she sees you coming and you think you still have it. Then you remember you have your fishing hat on and it says, I Got Worms .
In your 60's:
Stop what you are doing. No need for a hat anymore. Hose the dog doo-doo off your shoes. The mirror was shattered when you were in your 50's. You hope you have underwear on so nothing hangs out the hole in your pants. The girl running the register may be cute, but you don't have your glasses on so you are not sure.
In your 70's:
Stop what you are doing. Wait to go to Homebase until the chemist next door is open so you can collect your prescriptions at the same time. Don't even notice the dog doo-doo on your shoes. The young thing at the register smiles at you because you remind her of her grandfather (ah, bless).
In your 80's:
Stop what you are doing. Start again. Then stop again. Now you remember you needed to go to Homebase. Go to Homebase and wander around trying to think what it is you are looking for. Fart out loud and you think someone called out your name. You went to school with the mother of the old cleaning lady nearby.

Emoticons
Published by Rick on Sunday, April 26, 2009.
We all know those cute little computer symbols called emoticons, where:
:) means a smile and
:( is a frown.
Sometimes these are represented by

or even

Well, here are some alternatives:
(_!_) = a regular arse
(__!__) = a fat arse
(!) = a tight arse
(_*_) = a sore arse
(_o_) = an arse that's been around
(_x_) = kiss my arse
(_X_) = leave my arse alone
(_zzz_) = a tired arse
(_E=mc2_) = a smart arse
(_£_) = money coming out of his arse
(_?_) =dumb Arse

Published by Rick on Friday, April 24, 2009.
Being a British monarch is a pretty risky task. Since King Harold was killed at the Battle Of Hastings there has been 44 monarchs. Only eight have died of old age.
Harold, killed 14th October 1066 at the Battle of Hastings.
William I, 1066 – 1087, fell off his horse and died of injuries.

Stephen, 1135 – 1154, died naturally.
Henry II, 1154 – 1189, died of a broken heart when he learnt that his sons had turned against him.
Richard I (the Lionheart), 1189 – 1199, shot in the shoulder in a minor skirmish and died from gangrene.
John, 1199 – 1216, a contemporary repart tells he fell into a fever and was let blood, but keeping an ill diet as indeed he never kept good, eating green peaches, and drinking sweet ale, he fell into a looseness and grew presently so weak, that there was much ado to get him to Newark, where soon after he died.
Henry III, 1216 – 1272, died naturally.
Edward I, 1272 – 1307, died naturally.

Joke
Published by Rick on Wednesday, April 08, 2009.
A man is strolling past an infants' school when he hears all the children chanting from the other side of the high fence, "Thirteen! Thirteen! Thirteen!"
He is intrigued and searches for a crack in the fence to see what is going on. Eventually he finds a knot hole and peeps through, only to be immediately jabbed in the eye from the other side.
As he reels back in agony, the chant goes up, "Fourteen! Fourteen! Fourteen!"

Remember, earth's green-yellow
Remember, blue don't care
Remember brown is live, good fellow
And then you're almost there!
Remember green, yellow, brown and blue
And you really won't go awry
But if the colours in the wires don't correspond
Then wave your hair goodbye!
Remember, blue don't care
Remember brown is live, good fellow

The Camera Never Lies
Published by Rick on Saturday, April 04, 2009.
Two ultra-Orthodox Jewish newspapers have altered a photo of Israel's new cabinet, removing two female ministers.
The two ladies, Limor Livnat and Sofa Landver, were grouped with the rest of the 30-member cabinet for their inaugural photo. But the newspaper Yated Neeman digitally changed the picture by replacing them with two men. The Shaa Tova newspaper blacked the women out.
Publishing pictures of women is viewed by many ultra-orthodox Jews as a violation of female modesty. The ultra-Orthodox community separates itself from mainstream society through its traditional religious practices and distinctive attire of black hats, coats and sidelocks for the men and long skirts and sleeves for the women. Restrictions include using only Kosher telephones, and not accessing websites with content deemed inappropriate.

Why You Should Not Take Men Shopping
Published by Rick on Thursday, April 02, 2009.
This letter was sent by Tesco's Head Office to a customer in Oxford (it might sound a bit like an urban myth, but let's hope it's true):
Dear Mrs. Murray,
While we thank you for your valued custom and use of the Tesco Loyalty Card, the Manager of our store in Banbury is considering banning you and your family from shopping with us, unless your husband stops his antics. Below is a list of his offences over the past few months, all verified by our surveillance cameras:
June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's trolleys when they weren't looking.
July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to feminine products aisle.
July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, "Code 3 in housewares" and watched what happened.
August 14: Moved a CAUTION - WET FLOOR sign to a carpeted area.
September 15: Set up a tent in the outdoor clothing department and told shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring sausages and a Calor gas stove.
September 23: When the Deputy Manager asked if she could help him, he began to cry and asked, "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"
October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a mirror, picked his nose, and ate it.
November 10: While appearing to be choosing kitchen knives in the Housewares aisle asked an assistant if he knew where the antidepressants were.
December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously, loudly humming the Mission Impossible theme.
December 6: In the kitchenware aisle, practised the Madonna look using different size funnels.
December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed, yelled "PICK ME! PICK ME!"
December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, assumed the foetal position and screamed "NO! NO! It's those voices again."
And; last, but not least:
December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited a while; then yelled, very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here."
