Dermot - :-D :-D :-D :-D

Strangely, as one who doesn't like running, I suffered from 'runners cartilage'.
I was walking up the flag stoned high street one wet morning, when I slipped on some impacted chewing gum.
I managed to not hit the floor - but damaged my knee :-(
The (fairly newly installed) flagstones were known to be slippery - and were changed a year later.

Someone ought to write a book entitled 'Runners' Cartilage Problems' because that is what befell a few mindset runners that I have known. :-(

Run morning and evening ? does your knees in. When I was younger I used

one of those Bullworker exercisers.

I had twelve bottles of whisky in my cellar...
and my wife told me to empty the contents
of each and every bottle down the sink...
or else!
So, I said I would... and proceeded with the unpleasant task.

I withdrew the cork from the first bottle and
poured the contents down the sink, with the
exception of one glass... which I drank.

I extracted the cork from the second bottle
and did likewise with the exception of one
glass... which I drank.

I pulled the cork from the third bottle and
poured the whiskey down the sink, with the
exception of one glass... which I drank.

I then withdrew the cork from the fourth sink
and poured the bottle down the glass...
which I drank.

I pulled the bottle from the cork of the next
and drank one sink out of it and threw the
rest down the glass.

I pulled the sink out of the next glass and
poured the cork from the bottle.
Then I corked the sink with the glass, bottled
the drink and drank the pour.

When I had everything emptied I steadied
the house with one hand, counted the bottles,
corks, glasses and sinks with the other, which
were twenty-nine.

To make sure I counted them again... they came to seventy-four.

And as the house came by, I counted them again,
and finally I had all the houses and bottles and
corks and sinks and glasses counted,
except one house and one cork... which l drank.

Fully agree! :-D :-D :-D


I can't understand these people who insist on a 'run' every morning and evening.
Running must be a very hard addiction to overcome - yet nothing is done about it - it seems to be an accepted form of addiction :-S

Alcoholic, workaholic, chocoholic.
I’ve taken a liking to Baileys and hubby said are you an alcoholic, I drink lots of tea but he has never accused me of being a teaaholic. What is it with some people that think if someone likes the occasional alcoholic beverage they are accused of being alcoholic. :-(
