THE DAYS YOU DON'T WANT TO ARE THE DAYS YOU HAVE TO MOST.
How about a gym instructor that's...
...not in the mood.
Not the client but an instructor !
I was lying on my mat and I couldn't believe it. The guy just said to the lady,
"This isn't happening for me today. Do you mind if we leave it ?"
Ha ha ha, hilarious. Is this man aware for one second of the economic crisis out there ? And here he is turning down perfectly good wonga from an eager, slightly sweating and not unattractive lay-deeee.
I'm thinking he's in the wrong job and I wouldn't mind but all he ever does is sit next to the whichever machine his client may be using and talk about Heat magasine or The Jeremy Kyle Show whilst they get vaguely fitter.
Some people eh ?
And the banks, oh don't start me on the banks. Not that I understand the base rate thing anyhow. The Bank of England cut their rates, so who do they lend to ? Is it the banks themselves ? Are they like the wholesalers to the banking industry ? Why are their rates so important ? Is this how the banks make their money ? They lend off the Old lady and we lend off them. Cos if The Bank of England are in the business of lending, why don't we just borrow off them, cut the high street banks out and split the difference ? We save more, they make more. The Bank of England seem to know what their doing, they're still in business, I want to bank with them please.
Actually having said that I bank with HSBC and they have been very accommodating of late, extremely accommodating, like really really really accommodating. I'd better quit whilst I'm ahead.
Barack's looking more like a dude every day. The more you hear about people's reaction to his win, the more you have to think he's been sent from God. One American talk show host remarked,
"It was incredible in New York today people were almost making contact with each other !"
And the more you see images of that kiss, wow, the more you see that kiss, what about that kiss ? They were both so "in the moment," my my they're so cool.
Listen you lot have a weekend that's good will you not ?

Hello all, just wanted to let you know that the Boleyn family are off to see Chesney Hawkes in "Can't Smile without you!" next Saturday! Inculde no less than 30 yes 30 Bazza classics! It's all about a band entering a reality talent show, then the lead singer has a tragic accident and it looks like he will never sing again. He meets this girl who helps him through it and guess what her name is? No Ctd of course it's not Lola, she was the showgirl. It's Mandy of course, the one who gives without taking. Surely he won't send her away! I have a hunch that the band might win in the end.
A wonderful ARF and weekend to one and all,

After finally finding time to read an insightful Blog from Mr. Evans and some finely tuned banter from the rest, I finally have time to wish you all the finest of fine weekends.
Having had a busy week, it thrill my very being to enjoy the comforting confines of this forum. As for me, late meetings last night afford me the luxury of an early finish today and an afternoon pint with friends...followed by a night in with a movie and a fine bottle of Malbec.
With Remembrance Day being a bank holiday here in Canada, I have that day off to so have taken a cheeky Monday off for a change to provide a simply sumptuous and exquisitely rewarding four day weekend.
Incidentally, I am in Blighty for Christmas in case any fancies a pint one evening...

Let me rephrase. One is blogging.
There, that's better.
Well. The end of a heck of a week. The tiny twist in the tale is that I have managed to blag a 'Mazzer' for the weekend.
The twist in the twist in the tale is that I'll be driving it straight back to work tomorrow morning to play 'policeman' - sorry Gingembre, it was the best analogy I could come up with.
But then it is home and dry for a rest at last.
Until Sunday. You see, the gym that we go to, the one that I used to see Chris at, has just begun a huge refurb operation. They've stopped us paying while it is going on ('till June or July) and given us a 'temporary' gym in a portacabin.
Sorry chaps, I know it is free, but it is rubbish.
So, Mrs MfR have scouted around and found another place we can join for a year, so we are off there on Sunday to sign up and get jiggy with it.
And that must rate as one of the dullest posts ever plopped on here. But hey, I need to chill and that is the extent of our weekend.
Except for the feast of football to be served up at Craven Cottage on Sunday.
By Newcastle. Because we are bound to be rubbish.
Peace my friends.

A rather splendid NZ sauvignon blanc.
Mega tip though. Don't ever mix your booze and your Nytol. You won't get sick, but you won't sleep and your head will bang for 24hrs afterwards.
My serious tip is plan a really good nights sleep the day before. When you get home don't fire up the PC and don't watch TV. Eat little, but enough that you won't wake up hungry later. Have a lovely lavender bath and open all the windows in the bedroom. Pop a Nytol and if you can, find one of those scented rubs that you can smear on your top (wear something old though, they stain). Then, read for an hour or so and lay back thinking of that lottery win.
You will sleep. It has taken me years, but once or twice a week I can do this and I feel fantastic the next day.
MfR

Well it's a beautiful autumnal day here, unseasonal 70 degrees. I have spent the day armed with a hedge trimmer hacking at the bushes in the garden and now I smell of pine sap and am covered in twigs and cobwebs. Very attractive, I can tell you!
I will also be back in the UK for Christmas, probably traveling about a bit visiting folks so if our paths should cross, I'd be up for drinkies!
Welcome J_B_G, I thought I had seen you posting before. Must be someone with a similar name then.

A few years ago I had very scary experiences when going to sleep: seeing my body slipping out of my left side, black buzzing cloud descending around my head and being paralysed until it went away, etc......
I know there's a rational explanation for these happenings but it would be too awful if I couldn't wake up, having taken a sleeping drug, even if it's the friendly homeopathic type.

Annie - Have you tried yoga/meditation for sleeping? I've found some of it can help.

Just can't see the need for rudeness personally but then as I have said many times on here....each to their own eh?
The blog is a place for allcomers, new, old, returning, passing etc, just don't really understand why you would wish to join in with abunch of 'saddos'....do you rubberneck at road collisions too?

And my last of the evening. I have a date with Gordon.
Now. I don't get the Daniel Craig sex symbol thing.
Don't get me wrong, I am very happily married, but if I were to 'admire' men for their attractiveness, I could understand Johnny Depp, perhaps Brad Pitt and maybe George Clooney. But, much as I tip my hat to Casino Royale (we haven't seen Question Of Sport yet) and love him as Bond, I can't see the 'heart throb' thing?
Over to you girls. Explain.
