Announcement

  • No one is perfect and when you accept this fact you will be able to take on any critic.

    STILL waiting for my prince but until that day comes I'm willing to date a few rich frogs.

    Today is the first day of the rest of my life, tomorrow is the hangover.

    If you cannot accept a person's difference than you can never truly accept life.

    Advice:Never agree to get in a shopping trolley at the top of a hill, or attempt to go on a coastal road at the helm of a go kart or do press ups over eggs.........

    It's been a while I know, it's been a bit hectic with the shop, I'm pretty well established now and looking into more avenues.

    I was watching a show on odd British Sports, I'm not sure how many of you had 'School's Sport's Day', but in Britain it was big. If you didn't win the egg and spoon race, you could be assurd that your parents were going to make you practice three hours a day balancing an egg on a spoon whilst attempting the sack race. Who could of known that in adult life there was worse to come.

    Cheese- Rolling ~ A game for the seriously deranged, a large double gloucester cheese is rolled down a steep hill and than the competitors are sent after it, at 70mph the cheese has been known to injure spectators.

    BOG Snorkelling ~Rules are pretty simple, snorkle through a bog from one end to the other and back again using only flippers to propel you, they now have one with bikes and a triathlon

    Two men, both in white shirts and jeans, are grasping each other at the shoulders and attempting to kick each other. They are surrounded by an onlooking crowd

    Shin Kicking ~From the Cotswolds comes the art of Shin Kicking, oh yes totally true, this sport dates back to the 17th century and involves you stuffing your trousers with straw and getting kicked to the ground in a tackle

    I'm sure there are a ton of stupid human sports we haven't heard of that are highly entertaining. Smiles and laughter have such powerful influences on the body and what's funnier than watching persons willingly doing sth that looks kinda dumb to us? haha. Of course there are some unusual sports that are very serious so I'd avoid watching those. ;) I'm always on the lookout for laffs.

    Never heard of shin kicking in the US but it's a big country.  Cheese rolling?  maybe in Wisconsin.  Our school outings were mostly foot races and jumps and three-legged races but I've seen sack races and egg/spoon races at picnics.  Sheesh.  We're such a competitive species.  Always practicing.

    The postman once came knocking on my back sliding door no more than 20 seconds after I'd just gotten changed out of my workout clothes and into clothes!  I gave him a reaming.  Knock on the fucking front door.  He's a skeevy guy.  Never did it again.  

    The bracelet's pretty.  I could use a few more guardian angels on duty.  Jammies are nice too.
