As the old year draws to a close, Ms Funky and I were having a very intellectual conversation, beside the fire as to whether duck's arses are watertight? It is my contention that they must be to aid buoyancy and to stop them taking in water and sinking. I remember once seeing an incontinent duck that had a taste for Brussel sprouts on a pond near here. It zoomed around like a jet ski until the effects of the sprouts wore off and then it sank like a stone and had to be rescued by the local fire brigade. Hence my theory as to buoyancy.Ms Funky on the other had believes differently saying that whenever has put her hand up one it didn't seem tighter than did a chicken, or turkey for that matter. There you go, my point exactly! How many turkeys do you see water skiing?
Now, you might think that your average duck leads a simple, uncomplicated life but you would be wrong. They have predators too. Recent reports from Bedford have this week revealed that the notorious Queens Park Duck Charmer has struck again. Typically, the Charmer operates late at night, singling out his victims in hotel bars and clubs. Invariably he preys on elderly widowed ducks, plying them with champagne and wooing them with compliments. Then the silver-tongued rapscallion takes them back to his room and has his wicked way with them before absconding with their life's savings. Police are warning local ducks to be extra vigilant. So next time you see a duck on your local pond think on what I have just told you and say hi from me. In duckese that is Quaaaaack quack.

Wow people!
Guess what? Go on, guess. Ms Funky and I have been invited out for a meal. Great isn't it, a home cooked curry. Her indoors is mixing up the polyfilla as we speak. GOD!!!! I just had a horrible thought! What if it's GOAT? Hmmm, last time we decended on someone for a meal we were served squid by a lovely Vietnamese couple. Like little fetuses (the sqid not the hosts) they were, all pink and round, stuffed with something else not entirely to my taste. I'm still chewng it now and that was twenty five years ago. How time flies between civilised meals.Another thought I wonder if Ms Funky emptied her handbag after that event? Half a ton of rubbery fish could quite easily have got lost in there. The last time she offered to lend me 10 bob to buy a pint I was nipped on the finger by a chameleon. I'm not going near that bag again.
Right, I have to go and get ready, change me sox ect. I will let you know how it goes.

Yes, you might say that is obvious but this isn't a mental issue but a far more serious matter. I can't, for the life of me see how to get my personal icon type thingy loaded into the square with a question mark in it? or anywhere else for that matter apart from into the body of my blog.
I will probably be shot down in flames here and make a complete 'prat' of myself but a tutorial on here wouldn't hurt!!!!!
So if any kind soul out there would like to email me what to do (apart from bugger off) LOL It will be much appreciated. That's providing anyone gets to read this.
Cheers
FunkyPS: Eureka!!! I managed to do it. Now I need to remember how? LOL
