Tactless questioning

On a visit to the local Healthcare Centre today to have the 22 week scan on our unborne child, my wife was given a questionnaire to complete after the birth - nothing extraordinary about that I hear you say.

However, frankly I was shocked at the first question which read "What was the outcome of the pregnancy - (a) live birth, (b) termination, (c) stillbirth or (d) miscarriage" - not necessarily what you want to think about when you've just found out that you're going to be the proud parents of a little girl in a few months time.

Signage

What must they have been thinking when they put a sign saying "Liquor in the front, and poker in the rear" in my local pub?

To inflate the life-jacket...pull here!

Imagine my shock when I listened to the safety briefing on a recent flight to find the recorded voiceover was none other than one of my colleagues! Moonlighting indeed!

Oh, I like it yeah!

If ever adverts need to be in context, it is for the following which I saw recently:

'For stiffness and pain phone Becky on '0800 xxx xxxx'

In my view, in any other publication than "Arthritis Monthly" it's fairly amusing, albeit in a childish sort of way........answers on a postcard for where I saw it!!!

Resolutions...

When asked what you think the New Year holds in store for you, it is a brave man that replies "Well, I'd like to clear my credit card before December and have a threesome with my wife and her pilates instructor".
