I know, I know, you're saying to yourself, Oh my God not another one.
It's a gorgeous night, sun's still up and the birds songs are filling my soul.
Problem is, when I'm sat, it's sounds like it's raining outside, so I get up and check. Nope, dry as a bone, and it dose'nt "sound" like it's raining anymore while I'm looking out window. Then I sit down, and here we go again.
Believe me folks I don't make this stuff up,,and on that note, Who would!?!
Anyone ever had this annoying affliction?

Ps. No smarta*s comments will be tolerated,appreciated or wanted.
Have a good un.

After working twelve hours today, while coming up in the elevator, a woman actually told me I smelled good Now that's a silly happening, but a very nice one.

Every year they hold an arts trail here and registered artists allow the public free access to their homes/studios etc. It started well 8 years ago with just a hand full of established artists in all lines of work, so the public could savour their work over the weekend at their leisure. Now everyone has got in on it, with almost 80 registrations last year, and even cafes, resturants, garden shops you name it they promote themselves-but not as registered for the trail. Hence those who genuinly have fresh work to show loose many viewers simply by the scale of it, which some of us are now calling for a rethink of it all.
Hence last year someone down the road from us stuck signs up on the same day at the start of the road we live in advertising her "Secret Garden"-just down the road.'
By 1pm we had had over 50 people calling in thinking we had a secret , and getting rather annoyed in telling them we had,nt, and the correct location. In the end one dear lady called in quite confused and asked me very nicely, "Excuse me is this the Secret Garden, .....I looked around at my home and garden, sighed and just said "Not anymore!!!"

Basil Fawlty would have been proud.

Wallace, it sounds like some garage sales I have heard of advertised for 09:00 and some idiot is kicking the front door in at 06:00.
If that ever happened where I was the culprit would get a dose of one of my size 11s in a tender spot while I waited for the police to take him away on a charge of attempted burgulary.

Sorry but I don't understand what this is about.

Nigel that was meant for our friend Syd, i am sorry clicked on the wrong posting again. Regards Doris

Perhaps this could be classed as funny happening.
Back 20 years ago one winters evening I heard at noise from the back of the property. At the time we would often get people waliking in off the street to pick at the fruit trees, some I knew and had no objection to , after all we were not going to eat everything and some neighbours made jam or could not afford to buy alot of fruit. However after dark with gates shut was abit different. I went out and discovered a coat hanging by the fence with our neighbours,as if it had come off someone scrambling the perimeter and then took it to the police station. They took the details .
A few days passed and I spotted our neighbour , a dear sweet lady , retired scholteacher. I asked how she was and the reply was something like this.

"Yes I am very well thankyou, but I am a bit worried, my good coat I use to protect my lemon tree has gone missing,..... we might have had intruders!!!!!!"

Say no more.............the police saw the funny side to it when I asked for it back!!!!.

Wallace

Hahaha Wallace, bet you were a bit tongued there for a bit, or did the coat just turn up?
I stopped for a pint tonight at the Cherry hill, bought a paper and had a good read. For some reason I started whistling the Coronation street theme. Jeez Louis, this fella came over and started staring, I nodded, he continued staring with no smile. All of a sudden he sez, :Coronation street right? (((PHEW))). He tells me he's a big fan and asks low long I've been watching it, 48 years I tell him. We covered Ena, Minnie, Elsie and Len, Rovers and much more, and I got two free pints! Another silly happening, but a wee chat can really put a smile on your face.

Yes folks, this thread will be alive for some time to come yet.
Today, I was sent to a place that had a warning to my employer to Never send a 53 foot trailer for a delivery, they don't fit, it's only 50 ft. from their loading dock to a neighbours fence adjoining the property. As I was trying to explain the mistake to dispatch,(over the radio),I saw the fence slowly dissolving right in front of my eyes,,slat by slat. ( God I felt powerful!) At this point I checked to see if this was a cruel joke, and I wasn't laying dead on the ground. Turns out the dear Italian Gent chose this particular day to take off work and replace his fence.Hahaha, what's the odds eh?

Only a small truck then. The limit here on general roads is 55 metres for a road train but when you get way up north and inland a bit there is no limit at all. Once, I was north of the Tropic of Capricorn, one gave me the signal to overtake, he had six trailers and a caravan at the end; total length would have been in excess of 100 metres and it was on an unsealed road, his speed was just over 100 Kmph.

Ha Ha it would have to be Phil as usual, why don't you write a book on your ups and downs on your HGV driving career i bet it would sell like hot cakes. Regards Doris

Nigel, I must confess I've pulled all kind of contraptions. I was took a rig to Florida which consisted of a lead concrete mixer truck, three single axle trucks,a farmers tractor and a wee pickup truck, but I could see the end of it, I feel good when I can see the end bit.Hahahaha, just thinking about taking a corner pulling a hundred metres of very damageable equipment. Around here, I'd finish the day strumming my fingers down my lips making the beebeeebeebeebee sound and feeling I wanted some jello pudding.
