POLE DANCING
If your going to take up pole dancing, make sure you dont get a cowboy DIY person to fit the pole!
DEBBIE GIBSON
Here she is, Debbie Gibson, or Deborah Gibson as she likes to be known now, in all her fantastic different and sexy styles through time.
Boy...she still does it for me.....wheres the damn Kleenex!!!!!!!!!!!!
ELIZABETH 1
Yesterday, Pirategirl and myself were having a good old chin wag, and I brought up the subject of ELIZABETH 1.
I mentioned to her that the state of Virginia was named after her by the English settlers, as she was also know as the Virgin Queen.
But as a funny suggestion, I said to her, if ELIZABETH was a SLUT, I wonder what Virginia might have been called instead???
Any Funny Ideas?
But on a serious note, due to the release of the new film Elizabeth - The Golden Age, I think my next piece on my wordpress weblog will be about her. She was, I think, one of the most important and world changing monarchs ever to have reigned, as her success would have global consequenses for many people, some of which lasted centuries.
CRUSH
Surfing the net today, I came across a woman that I remember having a bit of a crush on, her name is Debbie Gibson, or Deborah Gibson as she is known now.
And still still looks terrific now.
Did you have anyone that you had a crush on, if so, who was it?

MY WEEK
Helloooo everyone.
Sorry for my absence but I have been ever so busy, and last week I had a weeks holiday from work, and since I do all my posts from work, that is why there has been a lack of them.
But I was busy at home. It was my wifes' 40th birthday a week past sunday, so I had a lot of organising and sorting out to do.
To add to that, my 17 year old niece (Tasha) was kicked out by her step mother (did i miss the word EVIL?) so we have let her stay with us. Unfortunately, she has to sleep in the living room on a sofa bed as we do not have any spare rooms, but she is more than happy with that after the hell she has been through.
I picked up my 19 year old niece (Gemma) so she could stay with us for a week to celebrate my wifes birthday, so she slept on the couch.
By the end of last week, all I kept finding all around the house were thongs, bras and other bits of clothing draped over door knobs, chairs and on the bathroom floor. I had to laugh really.
Anyways, I took Gemma back home, caught a bad cold off her (I am blaming her anyway) and now I am back to work....bunged up, coughing and sneezing.
And that was my week.
Oh....I was also in my garden building a retaing wall, but that was to boring to talk about.
Absence
Sorry i have been away, had lots of stuff to sort out, been on holiday.
All will be revealed.
Buah hah hah hah haaaaaa
SAYINGS
I am often interested in how sayings came obout, and where they originated from.
One interesting one i know of is the one "go the whole 9 yards" or the equivalent. This one came from the First World War, when the British Vickers machine gun had ammuniton belts that were 9 yards long. The belt feeder would quite often say "Give 'em the whole 9 yards"
And a new saying was born and obviously adapted.
Do you know of any, if so let me know. It would be nice to compile a little list, especially if they are not known world wide.
HORRID OLD WOMAN
As a follow up to my last post, the other evening, i went to the station to catch my usual train home. It is a train that is normally busy.
The train arrives, people get off and on. I got on, turned left and stood in an area reserved for bicycles. This is at the end of coach. meanwhile, people are still getting on, including this old woman.
She gets on the coach, followed by a man. She turns in my direction, but when she realises their are no seats where i am standing, she turns to head the other way into the main body of the coach. By this time, the man behind her was just about to go straight into the main body of the coach, but was promptly pushed back by the woman and her walking stick, so she could go first and find a seat.
The man looked absolutely shocked. She even had the cheek to say "excuse me" as she pushed him back with her stick.
I dont object to old people having seats on trains in preference to yunger people, but they should still use manners, the same manners by which they taught their owm children and say the younger adults do not have.
BLOODY OLD PEOPLE..GRRRRR
Being at the age of 41, I seem to be at the crossroads of life where I seem to mix with both young people and old.
The young ones I mix with (other than my offspring) are my 2 nieces (aged 19 & 16) and their respective friends/partners.
The older ones are my wifes dad, his friends and neighbours (whom my wife knows very well).
I find this large age gap interaction quite interesting, and at times very annoying.
Interesting because of the difference in opinions, ways of working things out and doing things can be quite stark. But annoying as I see how omnipotent older people seem to think they are, and, when I am in town, I do find that older people are less polite and curtious than younger people, and at times I feel as if they have the attitude that the whole world and everybody in it owes them something.
The latter is extremely annoying to me as I have constantly heard complaints by older people that they think the young ones show no respect or have manners.
Those in glass houses should not throw stones - me thinks!!

LIFE CHANGING EVENT
Life can be quite pleasantly suprising sometimes.
My life was trudging on, the same rutty thing, day after day, then all of a sudden, you meet someone, and they just totally brighten up your days.
Tami did that.
We just started talking and everything just clicked into place.
She has changed my rutty, boring life to something that is worth getting up for in the morning. She has put life back into my world.
Strange how you can go through life for a long time, not realising how dull things are. You cannot realise sometimes until someone pops into your life and just blows all the dust and cobwebs away.
I just want to give Tami a big Thank You, and I will see you tonight!
P.S. It has even been noticed on Tblog by Surrogate!!!
