Eloise (& Brad) online

It’s been nearly 2 weeks now since we took delivery of a new toy.  We now have a new shiny games console; a Nintendo Wii. 

We first saw the Wii back in February when we went to see Stuart & Skye; both Brad & Bryan came away wanting one. However they are still difficult to get, as there is not many stock, so when they come in they only stay in stock for a couple of hours.  None of the usual online shops will let you place an order if it is not in stock.  

After a couple of evenings of surfing the net without success I found http://www.wii-consoles.co.uk/ this has a real-time stock list.  I also sent an email to Dixons & Gamestation.  Gamestation sent me an email the day before they were going to release some stock, telling me what time I could buy my wii and the link to use.  Dixons sent me an email when they had released the stock.

Yesterday was the long awaited match between Bristol & Northampton.

Some of you may remember that the match was due to be played back in January but it was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch. At the time I think Bryan was quite glad it was postponed as he was suffering with a bit of a hangover (see Bon Voyage Ali & Liz).

With Northampton needing the points to move off the bottom of the table, and Bristol keen to end their row of defeats; it was a tense match for both sets of supporters. Neither team played particulary well, however Bristol had more luck and won 31-19. Lets hope that Saints pick themselves up of the bottom or their won’t be any encounters between the two teams next season. See BBC match report

Not much choice this week 

A woman is caught speeding on the freeway, and is pulled over by a traffic cop. He says “Ma’am, you were going 85 miles per hour, can I see your driver’s license?”
“I don’t have one,” says the woman, “it was revoked for reckless driving.”
“I see,” says the policeman. “Then will you please show me your vehicle registration?”
“I don’t have that either because the car’s not mine,” says the woman.
“Whose car is it, then?” asks the policeman. She answers, “It belongs to the man I killed this morning and chopped up in pieces, put in plastic bags, and loaded into the trunk. I was just going to dispose of him.”
The policeman, shocked, says, “You just stay where you are, I’m calling reinforcements.” Continue Reading »

The Cat’s Diary

Day 983 of my captivity.

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep my strength up. Continue Reading »

We are now back from our holiday, there were a few good contenders in my Inbox for the Monday Funnies but this was one of the best ones. Enjoy.

Here are 12 of the finest double-entendres that were aired on British TV & Radio

1. Pat Glenn, weightlifting commentator - “And this is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning and it was amazing!”
2. New Zealand Rugby Commentator - “Andrew Mehrtens loves it when Daryl Gibson comes inside of him.”
3. Ted Walsh - Horse Racing Commentator - “This is really a lovely horse. I once rode her mother.”
4. Harry Carpenter at the Oxford-Cambridge boat race 1977 - “Ah, isn’t that nice. The wife of the Cambridge President is kissing the Cox of the Oxford crew.”
5. US PGA Commentator - “One of the reasons Arnie (Arnold Palmer) is playing so well is that, before each tee shot, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them … Oh my god!!!!! What have I just said?!!!!”
6. Carenza Lewis about finding food in the Middle Ages on ‘Time Team Live’ said: “You’d eat beaver if you could get it.”
7. A female news anchor who, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn’t, turned to the weatherman and asked, “So Bob, where’s that eight inches you promised me last night?” Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too, because they were laughing so hard!
