Help For Heroes
Let's hope they all come home safely.

  
 
When a soldier comes home, he finds it hard....

..to listen to his son whine about being bored.

....to keep a straight face when people complain about potholes.


...to be understanding when a co-worker complains about a bad night's sleep.

...to be silent when people pray to God for a new car.

....to control his panic when his wife tells him he needs to drive slower.

...to be compassionate when a businessman expresses a fear of flying.

 
....to keep from laughing when anxious parents say they're afraid to send their kids off to summer camp.

 
....to keep from ridiculing someone who complains about hot weather.

 
.....to control his frustration when a colleague gripes about his coffee being cold.

 
....to remain calm when his daughter complains about having to walk the dog.

 
.....to be civil to people who complain about their jobs.

 
.....to just walk away when someone says they only get two weeks of vacation a year.

 
....to be forgiving when someone says how hard it is to have a new baby in the house.

And Our British Mates. Always There.
 
We "Band of Brothers".

If you agree......keep it going,
If not simply hit the delete button.

Under cooked chips

 Chez American - Villamartin - from Qype

This place looked like a place for the perfect burger and chips, the “group” also own a Argentina steak restaurant which is excellent so I was very optimistic about what to expect; The real 100% beef burger was €9.5, so not cheap, or expensive, but a lot of money for  a bad experience, especially as the drinks are a little pricey; the food arrived quickly and courteously; I tasted the burger, fantastic; I ate a chip, arrgh, it was nearly roar, I called the waitress over and she said she would get me some more, but didn’t really apologise; I nibbled my burger while I waited; twenty minutes later still no chips and I had eaten my burger. I asked the waitress again, she said wound’s be long now but they were very busy (but they didn’t seem it). I told her to forget the chips; I paid and left, so overall if the chips had been cooked it would have been a nice meal, but for me it was a bad experience. Another thing is that kids eat free, for some, this was a plus, but for me the kids running around and playing did not really make it a restaurant experience, only restaurant prices.

I probably would go back but not when they have more that 10 customers as they don’t seem to be able to cope

GP Prescriptions

On the BBC news this morning, apparently GP's mess up one in six prescriptions; seems fare enough to me as they only get paid six times the average wage, oh no wait, that’s not right is it

Mums Stew

Hi all

Sorry I have not updated for a while, I had ten days away in sunny Spain with my father, it was nice getting to know him better as its been years and years since we really had a chance to talk, he's 77 now, really is a different bloke than I remembered as I've not really seen him to talk to.

Anyway I'm back in the UK now and my dad came over with a frozen stew that my mum had made for me, I don’t really cook much as its very hard work with my dystonia, but I can reheat a stew and make some dumplings, and here it is :-)

I have a very quite few days, listening to music and doing a bit of work from time to time. I intend to do more of this re-heating cooking, its very nice.

Racial Tolerance

I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends
are against another mosque being built in London.
...
I think it should be the goal of every Englishman
to be tolerant.

Thus the Mosque should be allowed, in an effort
to promote tolerance.
That is why I also propose that two nightclubs
be opened next door to the mosque, thereby
promoting tolerance from within the mosque.

We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay,
"The Turban Cowboy ", and the other a topless bar
called "You Mecca Me Hot."

Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes
in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbeque
pork restaurant, called "Iraq o' Ribs."

Across the street there could be a lingerie store called
"Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret ", with sexy mannequins
in the window modelling the goods.
Next door to the lingerie shop there would be room for
an adult sex toy shop, "Koranal Knowledge ", its name
in flashing neon lights, and on the other side a liquor
store called "Morehammered."
All of this would encourage the Muslims to demonstrate
the tolerance they demand of us, so the mosque problem
would be solved.

If you agree with promoting tolerance, and you think
this is a good plan, please pass it on....
