            Another bad day for me - I tried to get a patent on my latest invention: foootwear for the beach for one-legged people.





            It was a flop.

                Dyslexia cost me my job in IT.

                Turns out my boss wanted me to unzip his 'files'

                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                  My friend is very poorly so I went round to see him.
                  I took an I pad,some DVDs and some ready meals.
                  Hopefully he is too sick to notice they've gone.

                    As if that wasn't bad enough, I had a disturbed night - the security alarm went off, and when I went downstairs, there was this bloke wearing a rugby shirt, a baseball hat, golf shoes and a pair of cricket pads.

                    "Oi!" I shouted at him, "What's your game!"

                          Johnny: "Seven, Sir."

                          Teacher: "No, listen carefully.

                          If I gave you 2 cats, and another 2 cats and another 2, how many will you have?"

                          Johnny: "Seven."

                          Teacher: "Let me put it to you differently.

                            Time is like a river. You cannot touch the water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again.
                            Enjoy every moment of life. As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play
                            at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's
                            cemetery in the Nova Scotia back country.

                            As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn't stop for directions.

                            I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight.
                            There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for
                            being late.

                            I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else
                            to do, so I started to play.

                            The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with
                            no family and friends. I played like I've never played before for this homeless man.

                            And as I played "Amazing Grace", the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I
                            finished, I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my head was hung low, my heart was full.

                            As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, "I never seen anything like that before, and
                            I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."

                            Regards Ant

                              Due to the current economic crisis, Greece is cancelling all production of humus and taramasalata.

                              It's a double dip recession.
