    Love the cat picture :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Beki: can you see another doctor tomorrow if you still aren't feeling better? You should have had a check-up?

    Right, g'night all. Take care.

  • Hangover ratings

    * 1 star hangover

    No pain. no real feelings of illness. You slept in your own bed and when you woke up there were no traffic cones in there with you.

    You are still able to function relatively well on the energy stored up from all those vodka red bulls.

    However, you can drink 10 bottles of water and still feel as parched as the Sahara.

    Even vegetarians are craving a cheeseburger and a bag of fries.

    ** 2 star hangover

    No pain, but something is definitely amiss. You may look okay but you have the attention span and mental capacity of a stapler.

    The coffee you hug, to try and remain focused is only exacerbating your rumbling gut, which is craving a full English breakfast.

    Although you have a nice demeanour about the office, you are costing your employer valuable money because all you really can handle is some light filing, followed by aimlessly surfing the net and writing junk
    e-mails.

    *** 3 star hangover

    Slight headache, stomach feels crap, and you are definitely a space cadet and not so productive.

    Anytime a girl or lad walks by you gag because the perfume/after shave reminds you of the random gin shots you did with your alcoholic friends after the bouncers kicked you out at 1:45 am.

    Life would be better right now if you were in your bed with a dozen doughnuts and a litre of coke watching daytime TV.

    You have had 4 cups of coffee, a gallon of water, 2 sausage rolls and a litre of diet coke yet you haven´t peed once.

    **** 4 star hangover

    You have lost the will to live. Your head is throbbing and you can´t speak too quickly or else you might be sick.

    Your boss has already lambasted you for being late and has given you a lecture for reeking of booze.

    You wore nice clothes, but you smell of socks, and you can´t hide the fact that you (depending on your gender) either missed an oh so crucial spot shaving, or, it looks like you put your make up on while riding the dodgems.

    Your teeth have their own individual sweaters. Your eyes look like one big vein and your hairstyle makes you look like a reject from a second-grade class circa 1976.

    You would give a weeks pay for one of the following :-
    home time, a doughnut and somewhere to be alone, or a time machine so you could go back and NOT have gone out the night before.

    You scare small children in the street just by walking past them.

    ***** 5 star hangover

    You have a second heartbeat in your head, which is actually annoying the employee who sits next to you.
    Vodka vapour is seeping out of every pore and making you dizzy, you still have toothpaste crust in the corners of your mouth from brushing your teeth.

    Your body has lost the ability to generate saliva, so your tongue is suffocating you.

    You´d cry but that would take the last drop of moisture left in your body.

    Death seems pretty good right now. Your boss doesn't´t even get mad at you and your co-workers think that your dog just died because you look so pathetic. You should have called in sick because, let´s face it, all you can manage to do is breathe ..... very gently.

    ****** 6 star hangover

    You arrive home and climb into bed. Sleep comes instantly, as you were fighting it all the way home in the taxi.

    You get about 2 hours sleep until the noises inside your head wake you up.

    You notice that your bed has been cleared for take off and is flying relentlessly around the room.

    No matter what you do you now, you´re going to chuck.

    You stumble out of bed and now find that your room is in a yacht under full sail.

    After walking along the skirting boards on alternating walls knocking off all the pictures, you find the toilet.
    If you are lucky you will remember to lift the lid before you spontaneously explode and wake the whole house up with your impersonation of walrus mating calls.

    You sit there on the floor in your undies, cuddling the only friend in the world you have left (the toilet), randomly continuing to make the walrus noises, spitting, and farting. Help usually comes at this stage, even if it is short lived.

    Tears stream down your face and your abdomen hurts. Help now turns into abuse and he/she usually goes back to bed leaving you there in the dark.

    With your stomach totally empty, your spontaneous eruptions have died back to 15-minute intervals, but your body won´t relent.

    You are convinced that you are starting to turn yourself inside out and swear that you saw your tonsils shoot out of your mouth on the last occasion.

    It is now dawn and you pass your disgusted partner getting up for the day, as you try to climb into bed. She/he abuses you again for trying to get into bed with lumpy bits of dried vomit in your hair.

    You reluctantly accept their advice and have a shower in exchange for them driving you to the hospital.

    Work is simply not an option.

    The whole day is spent trying to avoid anything that might make you sick again, like moving.

    You vow never to touch a drop again and who knows for the next two or three hours at least you might even succeed.

    OK, now hands up all those who have never had a six star hangover!!
  • A major hurricane (Hurricane Shazza) and earthquake measuring 5.8 on
    the Richter scale hit Essex in the early hours of Friday with its
    epicentre in Hornchurch.

    Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, muttering "Faaackinell".
    The hurricane decimated the area causing approximately £30 worth of
    damage.
    Several priceless collections of mementos from Majorca and the Costa
    del Sol were damaged beyond repair.
    Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed.
    Many locals were woken well before their giros arrived.
    Essex FM reported that hundreds of residents were confused and
    bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that something
    interesting had happened in Basildon.

    One resident - Tracy Sharon Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said, "It
    was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into my
    bedroom crying. My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Victoria-Storm slept
    through it all. I was still shaking when I was skinning up and watching
    Trisha the next morning."

    Apparently looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried
    on as normal.
    The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Sunny
    Delight to the area to help the stricken locals.

    Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found
    large quantities of personal belongings, including benefit books,
    jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos and Bone China from Poundland.

    HOW CAN YOU HELP?
    This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those
    unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster.

    Clothing is most sought after - items most needed include:
    Fila or Burberry baseball caps
    Kappa tracksuit tops (his and hers)
    Shell suits (female)
    White sport socks
    Rockport boots and any other items usually sold in Primark.

    Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same.
    Required foodstuffs include:

    Microwave meals, Tins of baked beans, Ice cream, Cans of Colt 45 or
    Special Brew.
    16p buys a biro for filling in the compensation forms.
    £2 buys chips, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for a family of 9.
    £6 buys B&H and a lighter to calm the nerves of those affected.
    ***Breaking news***
    Rescue workers found a girl in the rubble smothered in raspberry
    alco-pop.
    'Where are you bleeding from?' they asked, "ROMFORD" said the girl,
    "woss that gotta do wiv you?"

    Please don't forward this to anyone living in Essex - oh, sod it, they
    won't be able to read it anyway.
  • A teacher starts a new job at a school on Merseyside and, trying to make a good impression on her first day, explains to her class that she is a Liverpool fan.

    She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Liverpool fans. Everyone in the class raises their hand except one girl.

    The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says: Mary, why didn't you raise your hand?"

    Because I'm not a Liverpool fan," she replied.

    The teacher, still shocked, asks: "Well, if you're not a Liverpool fan, then who are you a fan of?"

    I'm a West Ham United fan, and proud of it," Mary replied.

    The teacher could not believe her ears. "Mary, why are you a Hammers fan?"

    Because my mum and dad are from the eastend, and my mum is a West Ham fan and my dad is a West Ham fan, so I'm a West Ham fan too!"

    Well," said the teacher, in an annoyed tone, "that's no reason for you to be a West Ham fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mum was a prostitute and your dad was a drug addict and car thief, what would you be then?"

    "Then, I'd be a Liverpool fan."
  • My husband, not happy with my mood swings, bought me a mood ring the other day so he would be able to monitor my moods.
    When I'm in a good mood it turns green.
    When I'm in a bad mood it leaves a big !!!!ing red mark on his forehead.

    Maybe next time he'll buy me a diamond!!!!
  • Little Johnny is sitting in biology class, and the teacher says that an interesting phenomenon in nature is that only humans stutter, no other animal in the world does this. Suddenly, Johnny's hand shoots up.

    "Not correct, Miss!" he says.

    "Please explain, Johnny," replies the teacher.

    "Well, Miss, just the other day I was playing with my cat on the verandah, the neighbour's Rottweiler came around the corner, and my cat arched his back and went "ffffffffffffff! fffffffffffffff! ffffffffffffff! fffffffffffffff!" but before the cat could say "**** Off!!! the dog ate him".

    No need, they reappeared when I clicked on the next page,thanks:) I'll remember the tip for next time the thanks disappear, though.
  • To the citizens of the United States of America
    In light of your failure to elect a competent President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.
    Her Sovereign Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories (except Kansas, which she does not fancy).
    Your new prime minister, David Cameron, will appoint a governor for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.
    To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
    1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium," and check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it.
    2. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour', 'favour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix "ize" will be replaced by the suffix "ise."
    3. You will learn that the suffix 'burgh' is pronounced 'burra'; you may elect to respell Pittsburgh as 'Pittsberg' if you find you simply can't cope with correct pronunciation.
    4. Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels (look up "vocabulary"). Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is unacceptable and inefficient form of communication.
    5.There is no such thing as "US English." We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of "-ize."
    6. You will relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen", but only after fully carrying out Task #1 (see above).
    7. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday. November 2nd will be a new national holiday, but to be celebrated only inEngland. It will be called "Come-Uppance Day."
    8. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled by adults. If you're not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you're not grown up enough to handle a gun.
    9. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. A permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.
    10. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and this is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean.
    11. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric immediately and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.
    12. The Former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling "gasoline") -roughly $6/US gallon. Get used to it.
    13. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called "crisps." Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with mayonnaise but with vinegar.
    14. Waiters and waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive with customers.
    15. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as "beer," and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as "Lager." American brands will be referred to as "Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine," so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.
    16. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie MacDowell attempt English dialogue in "Four Weddings and a Funeral" was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater.
    17. You will cease playing American "football." There is only one kind of proper football; you call it "soccer". Those of you brave enough will, in time, will be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies).
    18. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the "World Series" for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable.
    19. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad.
    20. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due backdated to 1776.
    Thank you for your co-operation.
  • An Irishman walks into a bar in Dublin, orders three pints of Guinness and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finished all three, he comes back to the bar and orders three more.

    The bartender says to him, "You know, a pint goes flat after I draw it; it would taste better if you bought one at a time." The Irishman replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in America, the other in Australia, and I'm here in Dublin. When we all left home, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days we all drank together."

    The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there. The Irishman becomes a regular in the bar and always drinks the same way: he orders three pints and drinks the three pints by taking drinks from each of them in turn.

    One day, he comes in and orders two pints. All the other regulars in the bar notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your great loss."

    The Irishman looks confused for a moment, then a lights dawns in his eye and he laughs


    "Oh, no," he says, "Everyone is fine. I've just quit drinking!"

    I love this one as the ex-in-laws are from this neck of the woods but they're classy - they live in Brentwood, the home of TOWIE (which I've never watched but get the distinct impression it doesn't help change peoples opinions of the area) :eek:
