Funky and Friends

One of Hewlett Packard's first ideas was an automatic urinal flusher.

Why have so many people removed their profile pics? Is it some sort of trend? Hmmmmm the answer must be out there somewhere!

Did you know that in 1813: Napoleon led his troops against an allied force of Austrian, Prussian, Russian, and Swedish troops during the Battle of Leipzig? Well, there is something missing here, do you know what it is? Where are the Brits? Do you think they were all on holiday at Bognor or something? I can think of no other reason that we didn't take the opportunity to have a scrap with the French! Most peculiar.

We had a visit today from my daughter, Jackie and the two ankle biters, Niamh (7) and Abigail (4) Of course as on all such visits chaos ensues. I don't have to tell you the name of the main protagonists, suffice to say they are black, short legged and bark with a Scottish accent. I tried taking some photographs which proved impossible! What do they say? Never, something or other, with ankle biters and tripe hounds something along those lines anyway. Pssssst ..... Guess who had flowers in his hair? Big wussy dog did, pity we didn't have the camera handy. He would never live it down.

Well, they have gone now and all is calm again. I can't wait 'til the next visit as it's the only time I'm allowed to eat cake without being told off. Before I go I just have to share this word of the day with you. I love it,
