Good luck Lurkioioioo with those beers in the fridge, you have put yourself in a v v dangerous situation :eek:

WBF, just caught up properly, so sorry about the job hunny. I was 2nd in line for a job twice before I got my current one, it can be really quite frustrating, good luck for when the next one turns up xx

Sea, fantastic news, well done on your 14 days sober

Wish I had time for more personals, but look at the time!! I should be leaving for work in a minute, plus I forgot to get DS an extra drink for sports day today so gotta stop at the corner shop on the way to the childminders, lucky it's so early as they won't expect me to be buying beer, they've not seen me in there for a couple of weeks :rotfl:

Have a great day, I'll pop back when I get to 'work'

Well guys I almost stayed calm when getting the kids ready for school this morning but I did have to yell at DS2 ( the clown of the pack) to stop dancing around the room butt naked and get ready for school . God I hope he grows out of that one:eek: . Anyway Rome wasn't built in a day as they say.

Must get to work NOW . Catch you all later.

Good Morning everyone! It's a bright shiny new day! Let's all give ourselves a little hug for how well we're doing and be kind to ourselves. Life is quite hard for some of us (mine's a total mess in some ways!). We can't put it right straight away, but small steps in the right direction and we'll get there!

Also, we all have this wonderful thread of the nicest people!

Have a great day everyone. Take care of yourselves.

A young ventriloquist is touring the clubs and one night he's doing a show in a small town in Tasmania.

With his dummy on his knee, he starts going through his usual dumb blonde jokes when a blonde woman in the 4th row stands on her chair and starts shouting:

'I've heard enough of your stupid blond jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype women that way? What does the colour of a person's hair have to do with her worth as a human being? It's men like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community, and from reaching our full potential as people. Because you and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only blondes, but women in general... and all in the name of humour!'


The embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologize, and the blonde yells, 'You stay out of this mate! I'm talking to that little !!!! on your lap!'

Oi Jo! I'm blonde! I'll have you know some of us are very intelligent. In fact, I'm very proud of myself as I've just finished a jigsaw puzzle. It has only taken me a week, and on the box it says 4-5 years!

Sorry Hopeful a non-blonde joke for you....hope we have no bosses here.....

A large company, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO.
The new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers.
On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning on wall.The
room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant
business.

He walked up to the guy leaning against the wall and asked,
"How much money do you make a week?"A little surprised, the young
man looked at him and replied, "I make $400 a week. Why?"
The CEO then handed the guy $1,600 in cash and screamed,
"Here's four weeks' pay, now GET OUT and don't come back."

Feeling pretty good about himself, the CEO looked around the room and asked
"Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-ball did here?"
From across the room came a voice,
"He was delivering the pizzas from Dominos."

That's great! I'm going to adapt it to my company and tell everyone I know. My CEO is very unpopular!

Management

A man flying in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. Reducing altitude, he spotted a man on the ground and descended to shouting range.
"Excuse me," he shouted. "Can you help me? I promised my friend I would meet him a half hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man below responded: "Yes. You are in a hot air balloon, hovering approximately 30 feet above this field. You are between 40 and 42 degrees North Latitude, and between 58 and 60 degrees West Longitude."
"You must be an engineer," responded the balloonist.
"I am," the man replied. "How did you know?"
"Well," said the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost."
Whereupon the man on the ground responded, "You must be a manager."
"That I am" replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you're going. You have made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are in the exact same position you were before we met, but now it is somehow my fault."


Morning all! love the jokes! (I is a manager). Not about much cos having to work for a living this week, v busy.
