Today Mummy was showing me photos of her and Daddy when they first started school, so thought it would be funny to put them on here with mine.

Vandalism

Mon, 30 Mar 2009 17:30:00 -0400

I posted this photo on another site I use and it got a lot of giggles and was popular, so thought I'd pop it here too!

James spotted this, it's rather amusing!

Even Mummy's and Daddy's need a break sometimes so Kory and Krystal took over with the Sunday jobs for the day ;-)

Kory Logic

I just wanted to record this for the future, one of those wonderful "kid comments" that would be forgotten. While eating dinner of pasta stuffed with Tomato & Basil the other night, the conversation went something like this......

Kory: "What are the green bits?"

Me: "That's basil, it's a herb"

Kory: "Oh right. Corriander is a herb too, isn't it?"

Me: "Yeah that's right"

Quick as a flash.....

Kory: "I think it should be called Krystal-ander!!"

Needless to say, James, Laura & I dissolved in fits of giggles.

Classic!

The Wrong Trousers

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 22:35:00 -0400

This is from one night before Christmas. Krystal and I swapped socks, then I thought it would be a good idea to swap all of our clothes. So we did. We both thought it was really funny.

Then the next morning, I put some pants on my head and was running about and Krystal wanted some too, so I got her some of my pants and we were both running about. Aren't we silly!??

Love

Scottish Christmas Fairy

Thu, 18 Dec 2008 19:30:00 -0400

I am a little fairy
On tap o' the Christmas Tree
It's no' a job I fancy
Well how would you like tae be me?

A' tarted up wi' tinsel
It's enough to mak ye boak
An a couple o' jaggy branches
Rammed up the back o' your frock!

An' these wee lights a'roon me
I canna get my sleep
An' there's the yearly visit
Fae Santa - Big fat creep!

On Christmas Day I'm stuck up here
While you're a' wirin' in
An' naebody says, "Hey you up there
Could you go a slug o' gin?"

It's nae joke bein' a fairy
The job's beyond belief.
You've got to go roon' the wean's beds
An' lift their rotten teeth.

But o' a' the joabs a fairy gets
An' I've mentioned only some;
The very worst is sitting up a tree
Wi' pine needles up yir bum.

When a' the fairies meet again
By the light of' the silvery moon,
Ye can tell the Christmas fairies
They're the wans that canna sit doon.

The Christmas tree's a bonny sight
As the firelight softly flickers
But think o' me I'm stuck up here
Wi' needles in my knickers.

So soon as Christmas time's right by
An' I stop bein' sae full o' cheer,
I'll get awa back tae Fairyland
An' I'll see yous a' next year

Krystal is Famous!!

Her photo appears in the gallery on this website 4 photos down as I write this.

I loved Coral's "Itsa" so much on holiday I was noseying on their site when we got back at what other colours they have. I saw the gallery and sent in the photo of her on it. I exchanged a few emails with the owner (the one who appeared on Dragons Den if anyone watches it!) and kind of forgot about it again until tonight, while watching the Dragons. So I just went for a nosey and found her looking back at me!

How cool!

What an Idiot!

This week we bought a camera memory card online. It was posted outthe following day and arrived today. Only it didn't. The seal had never been peeled off the envelope and so the card must have fallen out at some point! Someone at Royal Mail got a memory card free...

Well I'm not that's for sure!!

While surfing about yesterday lunchtime I decided to do the typical" type your name into Google and see what you get" search. In the top ten came this website www.jamesbuckingham.com - Yes it's a blog by a guy called James Buckingham in Wales.

So anyway while I was there I though I'd put a wee comment on one of the entries to say "Hello James, it's James Happy New Year" :-)

Now you might be thinking, yeah that's cool but so what? Well have a look at the design of the site as well?? It's the same as ours. How spooky is that??? It's not even that common.

Checking my emails tonight I got a message from James (that's the other one) who has put a comment on one of our entries here. He's also put an entry on his blog about all of this as well. How cool :-)

I now feel drawn to hitting the old search engines again to find more James Buckingham's around the world, as James says (not me the other one :-)) it feels very Dave Gorman. Maybe there are even more James Buckingham's reading this blog? Who knows!!!

Little Becky

Mon, 30 Jul 2007 14:30:00 -0400

I heard this on Radio 2 on Friday on the way to work and I was in tears of laughter. Becky is an 8 year old girl from Dublin who does prank calls. What's great about them though is she uses that "innocent" kid approach to really keep them on the line.

There are a few of these going around online but this is by far the best. Check this out, it's SO funny:
