Endqote
If you consume too much cider, it's hard to tell the difference between breakfast cereal and a drink!

Debs | I'm fairly sure that I dont have any missing siblings but you never know - although if i am it rules me out of the toyboy running 
as a ladeee you did well to take five bottle of K and still manage to climb into a skip
I went out for a "quiet" drink last night and feel quite fragile now (7 magners) which brings me back to the questions.
what does kareoke actually mean in japaneese ( My suspicion is that its a combination of the ideographs for opportunity and idiocy
Does my singing improve when i've had a few or do i just think it does ?
and why did i think doing "stan" by eminem would be a good idea ?
and finally whats good for a hangover ? - and yep I know the groucho line thanks ( drinking heavily the night before always does it for me)

Eeyore, sounds to me as if you are enjoying life to the full .
Karaoke means (i think) empty hand!
I always thought my singing improved after a couple of Glayva... or better still JD!!!
If you have a hangover this morning...means you didnt drink enough... water that is ...so today..drink lots of water. Hehehe.. cruel

Toast lands butter side down...because from the average height of the hand/bench etc... the toast makes two and a half or three and a half turns..(Icant remember the correct number ) therefore... unless it was butter side down in the first place.. it will land on the butter...btw... dont waste real butter on this experiment
I might have this wrong too... I do hope not.

Debs | nooo....no traffic cone...but i did find a pair of 4 inch stiletto's that don't belong to me. i'd assumed they belonged to little bro's girlf though.....
kareoke...it might have an official meaning but my friend tells me that its unofficial meaning is...oppurtunity for drunken peeps to make muppets of themselves! the kareoke at our local is truly appalling, except there's this one lass that takes it really seriously.
why, when i sit down to this computer does my dog always come and lay on my feet thus making them go numb and giving me pins and needles?
on a nature subject though....why do orchids hybrodise? it took us three days to identify the component species in one?

Why does the slow lane always move quickest in a traffic jam?
Why can't bees learn the words instead of humming?
Why does the special offer always end just before you get enough coupons?
What do sheep count to go to sleep?
What's another word for synonym?  |

The length of a piece of string is the distance from the middle of the string to one end of the string multiplied by two!

Hey eeyore, found two traffic cones in the Lews Castle Grounds, you been up to the islands and never said hello.
I have you know the sargeants mess in Benbecula sells its magnums for about £1.20 a large bottle, you would have to be here for a couple of weeks and drink a lot to make the airfare worth it!!!
Debs
PS great film happy feet!
