A really nice day with the morning spent in Joan's garden sheltered from the sun under several parasols.
I read Sue's story first a retelling of a poor family in the mid west USA. John kicked off next with a faulty kidney saving tourists' lives. Sheila retold how her family were entertained at Eling during the torch ceremony. Rosemary's story was about a young girl about to marry who fell out of her bed. Joan's heroine rebelled against her family taking her for granted. Joan E told how missing a bus stop is scary. I related how going for a walk led to meeting many people. Brian - missing deeds for some land and a murder.
Pat got most votes and her story follows.
GET OFF
That “Go Compare” ad on TV drives me up the wall. I don't know about you, but I can't reach the remote control fast enough! Usually my husband nods off with his hand on it.
The good news is that yesterday, a masked assassin blew him up with a big bazooka! Ha Ha. I'm not the only one then.
The assassin? None other than former tennis star Sue Barker. I do hope she was well compensated. Apparently the ad people do listen. That makes a change. There must be thousands of people like me, who enjoyed the action, and, whats more important actually paid attention to the insurance comparison company message. Maybe they are on to something, in a kind of back handed advertising campaign.
I always believed it was easier to get a message across with humour.
Following that thought, they could string up the bankers in a High Noon type of way, when they go on about their safe banks.
Have you watched our Parliament in action? First off, the House is half empty. They can't all be at very important meetings can they? The only time it seems to be full is Prime Minister's question time or when there is an important vote.
Now its the Olympics. Apart from the security fiasco, the ticket fiasco and the strikes, it will be alright on the night, as they say.
Hooray for Bradley Wiggins. Now, get off your bike and save the Olympics!
Next month 27th August at John's "He understood"
