Apparently according to the latest research, most men what a traditional wife and women are often only to happy to oblige. At the top of the men’s wish  list was for the wife to take care of the home, cooking and cleaning.
I understand that there is certain food the cause women to lose their sexual appetite. it’s called wedding cake. I can only assume the research discounted men’s basic instinct or that they interviewed eunuchs.

The research goes on to report that the most valued attributes women want in men are as follows, 1. listen to want I say, 2. financial stability, 3. Being a great parent, 4. Gardening
I remember a friend sending me an email on how to please a women. It filled 5 A4 sheets and at the end was a list on how to please a man. One line ! come naked and bring a bottle.

If life, was only that simple

With the summer come and gone (you blinked) it’s hard to believe that next month many young loved ones will leave home for the first time to start a new academic life at their chosen University. For some parents a time of sorrow for others relief. Two of my drinking friends are such parents. The first amazed that his son has got there in the first instance, claims if his brains where made of gun powder he wouldn’t have enough to blow his beanie off. The other is concerned that he may want to come back home. He tried to sell his complete works of the Encyclopedia Britannica on eBay as he reckon’s his son knows everything.

And me ! I just hope they want some  hoodies printed

Want a cool T shirt ? All you need is a pair of scissors and a t shirt and some imagination.  Most of the

eat yer heart out Blue Peter

girls from Pure Lime took some scissors and really made some great designs. The photograph is just one of hundreds modified and remember it’s an original.

One we saw even managed to cut the t in half and made a top and skirt from just one t shirt (no I didn’t get a photo)

Happy cutting

We have a Labour Government ? We are currently taxed beyond belief and now the poor motorist is set to pay again as trials are given the go ahead to look at the technical feasibility  of special VIP lanes that for an extra fee the right to cruise passed stationary  motorway traffic. Won’t that breach our human rights ?

The transport secretary Ruth Kelly thinks the M6 toll road has worked. The toll road is so little used that the original £2 fee has risen to £4.50 to cover the costs. The M6 / M5 juction is still a nightmare, bless her.

“Money Money Money it’s a rich mans World” and I thought that was an ABBA song.

When I first turned on the telly this morning I thought I was watching a new sport “bouncing on the spot”. I then realised it was Taekwondo, three two minute rounds of bouncing up and down. That was until I saw what the corner judges did not, that awesome kick to the face from Stevenson. How come with me been over 10,000 miles away I could see it yet two of the judges 4 mtrs away missed it.
All was put right in the end but the upset must have effected Stevenson in the next round.

All in all not a bad Olympics for the ole Brit team. Well done to everyone out there.

Thought for the day! The Brit team can reduce their Carbon footprint by not flying our politicians back, we can leave them out there.

 Nottinghill Carnival……….. coming next

I for one, understand why we are doing so well. Third place with 16 Golds and if you took Phelps out of the American equation we would be pushing for second. It is noticeable that it is the traditional sports that we excel in, ones where we have history take sailing, I mean look at Drake, Cook and Nelson they all got Golds. Wasn’t it Richard the third who wanted his Kingdom for a horse and where did the saying “on yer bike” come from, yes of course it’s an ole English proverb.

Things we’ve always been good at. Can’t understand why we didn’t do better in archery, Christ we had enough practice over several hundred years, certainly stuffed the French a few times

anyway keep cheering for Harry and England (not sure what event he’s in)

Will keep you up to date,  Clive

Well what a weekend Rossi wins on the bikes, Britain go for more medals and I fly my new kite. Adam Jones our man in the BTCC had a mixed weekend up at Knock hill. Middle of the field in all three races, still missing a bit of power. Then off to Silverstone and Brands Hatch to end the season. Still 9th in the championship is pretty good work from the team.

A Boards advertise your business
With times getting harder for a business to get an order it pays to advertise. A boards are a cheap and very effective way to let the public know whose working on the house or placed outside a business premises catches the eye. Compared with advertising in the local press it’s very easy on the pocket and one of the most direct forms of advertising.
They can easily be folded up and transported to the next job or simply put away at night. Call Acorn for a quote on Free phone 0800 0190 552 and ask for Duncan.

7 Medals for Britain so far and the girls have 5 of them. Well Emily Pankhurst would be  proud, but what has happened to our men. How come one American guy on his own can win more Golds than all our’s put together ? Maybe we should get Jeremy to send the Stig across to sort them out.

This years Country side show at Fillongley Warwickshire saw the tractors working flat out to tow people out of the field being used as a car park. The day was very mixed weather with sunshine one minute then lashings of rain the next. It didn’t stop a good turnout at the show but as people ran for cover the beer tents did a thriving trade.
My thanks to young Mr Beaty for the tow out of the field from his £60,000 John Deer tractor
