Hi! I'm back! (finally)
Your post remember me my grandfather had a collection of coins. When I was a child I loooved playing with this. I drew animals, people, plants, flowers... It was a loooot of coins! Well, he died and my grandmother doesn't know where it is ): It's a pitty!
Had to laugh at the psychic and the unforeseen circumstances. :)
The floor in the men's room giving away is actually a bit scary. It really could have been so much worse. That aside, what an awkward position to be in at the time.
These always make me smile. Thanks!
I recently went to a baby shower, and yes that poem is very annoying! lol
And omg about the complete works of Shakespeare texts. Wow!
So many great stories, so little time! I will need to return to read them all. But for now, I love the "super pram" and the RAF museum! Happy Monday, Tracy! Thanks for gathering these unusual tales!
that's kind of adorable that a seven year's old room is a museum- literally!
Hmm which should I pick???
Well , the Psychic ?
Hi Tracy,
When I first read the article about the 'poo' book, on the BBC, I did chuckle, but then I got to thinking about the stupid amount of book prizes and awards there are now and I actually began to get annoyed! Do we really need them?
That giant vending machine really does take the idea of a 'pop-up' shop to extremes, doesn't it? So long as the prices aren't too high and it dosn't get vandalised, then I guess it is better than not having a shop at all, although I am not sure that I would want to use it!
Perhaps I could gather all the books in my house together in one room, shelve it out and open it as a library? .... No, well just a thought!! LOL
Great selection again this week ... have a good one!
Yvonne
Perhaps we should handle more disputes and problems flinging poetry at one one another, both Shakespeare's and our own.
Someone at work recently sent a You-Tube video around the office about how to poo at work. The poo on a date book reminded me of it--I have to laugh at both.
How cool for the seven year old boy whose room was declared a museum! I imagine his parents have their work cut out for them. :-)
Don't you poo on a date the same way you would if you aren't on a date?
The mother-to-be who sent that poem to her friends will soon find herself friendless! How annoying and greedy can you get? Am flabbergasted! :o
Did like the story of the little boy being able to turn his room into a museum. How thrilling for him!
Ha! Love these posts....still cracking up at the plethora of Shakespeare texts. *smirk* Thanks for the smile!
