Age vs Technology

Life just gets better as you get older doesn't it. I was in a Starbucks Coffee recently when my stomach started rumbling and I realized that I desperately needed to fart. The place was packed but the music was really loud so to get relief and reduce embarrassment I timed my farts to the beat of the music. After a couple of songs I started to feel much better. I finished my coffee and noticed that everyone was staring at me.

 I suddenly remembered that I was listening to my Ipod.

British Family

Just a quick moan today, I was delighted when I saw a family on the BBC who had a goal of buying British wherever possible, I thought this would be difficult but admired their philosophy even though I thought a little misguided and detached; I wanted to support them and checked out their website, only to see its hosted in Germany :-(

Another crazy paradox is that UK companies are NOT allowed to register a .US domain, but US companies register .co.uk domains

Help for heroes

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.
PROUD TO BE BRITISH

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
