A good cure for a Friday morning hangover is to not stop drinking!

I have no hangover so the world is all good.

On the downside though I will mostly be copying data from one part of a spreadsheet to a different part of a spreadsheet all day, and of course I'll be here.

I used to be a gymhead for a while after I stopped smoking for a couple of years, but then started smoking again and stopped going.

Re Rock climbing
It's not that hard, and upper body strength is more of an afterthought. You use your arms for steadying yourself, if anything, otherwise you just end up tired halfway through and they feel awful the next day. But walking round the bottom of rocks is lovely as well, there are some brilliant walks in the Longshaw Estate (not too far from Sheffield) that testify to this fact. And the Dev Cat is a very good pub!

Here's the shit joke I was gonna post last night
A husband leant over to his wife in the pub and says, 'Do you remember the first time we had sex together over fifty years ago?

We went behind the village tavern where you leaned against the back fence and I made love to you.'

‘Yes’, she says, 'I remember it well.'

‘OK, how about taking a stroll around there again and we can do it for old time's sake?'

Oh Bob, you old devil, that sounds like a crazy, but good idea!'

An undercover policeman overheard this and thought he would follow them to make sure they would be safe and he was intrigued as to how they would manage it.
The elderly couple walk haltingly along, leaning on each other for support aided by walking sticks. Finally,
they get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence. The old lady lifts her skirt and the old man drops his trousers.
As she leans against the fence, the old man moves in.
Then suddenly they erupt into the most furious sex that the policeman has ever seen. This goes on for about ten minutes while both are making loud noises and moaning and screaming. Finally, they both collapse, panting on the ground.

The policeman is amazed. He thinks he has learned something about life and old age that he didn't know.

After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering, the old couple struggle to their feet and put their clothes back

on. The policeman is still watching and thinks to himself, this is truly amazing; I've got to ask them what their secret is.

So, as the couple passes, he says to them, ‘Excuse me, but that was something else. You must've had a fantastic sex life together. Is there some sort of secret to what you just did?'

Shaking, the old man is barely able to reply, 'Fifty years ago that wasn't a fucking electric fence …!’

Just for the record, gin is lovely. One bottle of Whitley Neill, some Fevertree tonic, and some limes.

Crap Joke Time
A stranger was seated next to a little girl on an airplane. The stranger turned to her and said, 'Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.'

The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the stranger, 'What would you like to talk about?'

'Oh, I don't know,' He said 'How about nuclear power?' Smirking like the twat that he is.

'OK, ' she said. 'That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?'

The stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence,
thinks about it and says, 'Hmmm, I have no idea.'

To which the little girl replies, 'Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?'

here:
Under UK law, no VAT is charged on biscuits and cakes — they are "zero rated". Chocolate covered biscuits, however, are subject to VAT at 17.5%. McVities classed its Jaffa Cakes as cakes, but in 1991, this was challenged by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise and the case ended up before the courts.[6] This may have been because Jaffa Cakes are about the same size and shape as some types of biscuit. A question that the court asked itself was "what criteria should be used to class something as a cake?"

McVities defended its classification of Jaffa Cakes as cakes. In doing so it produced a giant Jaffa Cake to illustrate that its Jaffa Cakes were simply miniature cakes.

McVities argued that a distinction between cakes and biscuits is, inter alia, that biscuits would normally be expected to go soft when stale, whereas cakes would normally be expected to go hard. It was demonstrated to the Tribunal that Jaffa Cakes become hard when stale. Other factors taken into account by the Chairman, Mr Potter QC, included the name, ingredients, texture, size, packaging, marketing, presentation, appeal to children, and manufacturing process. Contrary to a commonly held belief, whether something is considered a 'luxury item' is not a test for VAT purposes.

Mr Potter ruled that the Jaffa Cake is a cake. McVities therefore won the case and VAT is not paid on Jaffa Cakes

The big problem is that they have got God, big time. They are a church school which means that they get money from the church and the children attend services. Now I though this wouldn't be to much of a problem to me, I went to a church school. However each class had a display saying the God is Love and that kind of shit.

My problem is that I don't think I could work in a school where I am required to openly lie. However I really need a job.

I went to a CofE too so I know what you mean.

I really didn't want to get our daughter christened because I felt it would be hypocritical to do so. She was christened in the end after we reasoned that we both already were and it never affected us.

Perhaps if you did work there, then you may be a voice of reason perhaps for some of the kids?

Then again telling a 5 year old God is a lie may cause issues.

Crap Joke
A man is driving along the motorway with his wife in the passenger seat. During the drive, the wife gets an idea. She starts taking off her clothing piece by piece and tossing them out the window.

The guy is shocked but aroused. She gets her shoes, socks, etc. and chucks them all out. Finally, she whips off her underwear and throws it all out onto the motorway. The guy isgetting well horny and cannot keep his eye's off of her.
He loses control of the car in the process and crashes into a barrier at the side.

Unfortunately, the air-bag doesn't go off on his side, and he finds himself wedged in under the steering wheel. "Help, go get help......aggghhhh, I'm stuck", he shouts.

"But I have no clothes on. What'll I do ?", she screams.

"Here", he says wiggling his foot, "Take my shoe and put it over your crotch. It'll have to do, love. Quick, hurry!"

She takes the shoe off his foot and places it over her crotch and gets out of the car, limping and shouting for help. After a few hundred yards of yelling and running a trucker notices this naked hysterical woman holding a shoe over her crotch, and pulls over.

"What's seems to be the trouble?", he asks.

"Help me", she screams, "My husband is stuck".

"If he's stuck up that far love then I'm afraid There aint a thing I can do to help you."

Haggis is lovely if cooked right
I do a nice haggis stir fry. 'Tis yummy.
