h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

They have one bugger of a job, over-all. One that I'd never want. So far as I know, on the whole, they do pretty well too. (Yours and ours) But of course, the one foul-up out of how many activities, ... that's the only stuff you'll hear about. Life, eh?

It's because they give motorists an extra hard time here thats why they fall for a lot of flack

Times and places here, they seem to be excessive as well. But to the average "Joe" who observes the common sense rules of the road, and stay within 5 or 10 mph of the posted limits, ... It's not so bad. I've been pulled over twice in my 30+ years of driving. And both times, I deserved it for being such a jack-ass with speed.

And stupidly young, I will add.

When I first started driving I was pulled over AT LEAST once a week, I think because I looked very young and therefore too young to be driving.

I was about 12, driving cars, trucks and tractors on farms. Maybe 14 the first time I took one on the roads ... The constabulary expected this of farm-lads, and generally over-looked my 4' 9" behind the wheel. I really WAS a runt until I hit about 16 or so ...

ahh you see I'm only 5' which doesn't help

Ah, but I'm sure a very fierce and intimidating 5', eh?

Being built closer to the ground should make it easier to pick-up the mini-man though.

*giggles*

funny you should say that


our answerphone message is me saying "hello can't be bothered to answer, but if you leave a message and you sound interesting I might phone you back"


Hubby came home from work the other evening, picked up a message and it was someone saying just as they were putting down the phone "god I feel sorry for the poor sod who's married to her"

Hubby said "now do you believe how bad I'm done by?"

As if any hubby really needs a 2nd opinion, eh?

I think I'm generally pretty goo, and don't put down the missus at all. In private or public. But sometimes my 'humour' may be taken wrong. What can ya do, eh?

*grins*

So, Littler lady, ... how's your Sunday getting along? I've a carpentry job that been put on hold whilst milady is at church. Sure hope she's taking to the right one "upstairs".

I had to cook Sunday dinner (hubby normally takes care of Sundays) because hubby was so inconsiderate and decided to go to work to earn money !!!!!!

Oh, the nerve of him.

My working day starts quite early, and has me home about an hour before the missus. So Monday's through Thursdays, I make the supper. She generally makes up with the week-ends. Mind you, if a roast anything is going to be done for Sunday, ... I might nudge her out of the kitchen. I love to make a 4, 5 or 6 part supper.

*grins* it's why hubby cooks on a Sunday coz I do the rest of the week

Did I mention that milady was a military cook when we met? With her extraordinary culinary skills, it IS in my better interest to cook during much of the week. I don't have to replace trousers as often.

She is also extremely adept with many sharp implements of the kitchen variety. I have a WORLD of respect for her.

NOTE: There may be a very fine line between respect and fear.

ahh well, not to worry, or split hairs, unless of course she's going to do it

And she could.!!!

So whilst Im starting into a bank-holiday, and construction still going, but much slower, ... How's your new week going?

PS: I'm a sucker for piccy's of super-young-folks, having so much enjoyment of my own grands ... So if your mails ever incorporate a pic of the mini-man ... and a proud Mum and Dad.

oh don't know if we've got one of all three of us together, one of us is normally taking the pic


But the week I think is going well
