When the earth is Frozen...3

4th January, 2011

When the earth is Frozen...3
Not constructed from offcuts, this is my new "modular double railed benching system" an idea I had for moveable benching. Plants look so much more appealing raised up of the ground.

I can dismantle and reassemble a bench in about 2-3 minutes. I am thinking of applying for a patent to protect my intellectual property regarding the invention. However, I am regularly reminded that, outside of plants I don't have much intellect so it would be subject to misrepresentation under the trades description act.

Some people can be so wounding! If you cut me do I not bleed?

May I wish everyone a good 2011. I don't go in for the actual celebrations themselves at New Year, having a profound dislike of handshakes from guys I don't know and a face covered in spit and gob from women I don't know....plus the world is just the same an hour later. However I do like a good story so try this short tale....

A Royal Flush.......

Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall bought new shoes for her wedding and during the big day they became increasingly tighter and tighter as the day went on.

That night, when the festivities were finally over, and they retired to their room, she flopped on the bed and said, "Charles, darling, please remove my shoes, my feet are killing me!"

Her ever-obedient Prince of Wales attacked her right shoe with vigour, but it would not budge!

"Harder!" yelled Camilla, "Harder".

Charles yelled back.

"I'm trying, darling! But it's just so bloody tight!"

"Come on! Give it all you've got!" she cried.

Finally, when it released, Charles let out a big groan and Camilla exclaimed,

"There! Oh, God, that feels so good!"

In their bedroom next door, the Queen said to Prince Phillip,

"See! I told you with a face like that, she had to be a virgin!"

Meanwhile, as Charles tried to remove her left shoe, he cried,

"Oh, God, darling! This one's even tighter!"

At which Prince Phillip said to the Queen,

"That's my boy! He served in the Navy: once a Rear Admiral, always a Rear Admiral!"
