Sunday search

I know that the world of blogging goes a bit flat over the weekend.  Add to that weekend the snooker finals and you are not very likely to find me here either.....

Luckily for you..... the snooker finished early (Ronnie O'Sullivan really outclassed Ali Carter and gave us all a free evening!)..... and I hark back to the days of old when I used to try and have a look at what searches people had been using to find my page and to point them in the right direction......  So here's a revival of an old blogging tradition.....

tri wing screwdriver b&q

You won't get one at B&Q - In fact I DO know that a mate of mine was actually looking for a tri-wing screwdriver..... and in searching for it on the web turned up my blog and rung me up to see if he could borrow mine.....  random event!  Well a tri-wing is for taking consoles apart.... I use mine for the Wii and for the Nintendo DS..... I got it from here and they are REALLY cheap!  If you live lly, you're more than welcome to borrow mine!

whistle and ride

A phrase I inherited from my mum..... usually called to me whilst I was absent mindedly dawdling over something or other..... "whistle and ride" she'd say.... in typical female fashion, expecting the impossible, for a man to do two things at the same time...... Like Microsoft products, we are notoriously bad at multitasking.

my balls fox

Erm......

royal doulton arctic fox

Such a tacky piece of paraphernalia would never grace the mantlepiece of Fox Towers.  I don't think Royal Doulton would even plumb these depths of tat.... but if you've got money to burn and are desperate for such an item.... send the money to me and I will make you one from blu-tack or carrots or something.

do arctic foxes use water for anything other than drinking

Besides making cups of tea and coffee and the occasional wash..... not much.... not even to wash my car!

Snooker loopy...

It's about this time of the year when my alter ego emerges.....

Not one to sit down and watch television, especially during the day.... when snooker comes to the Crucible.... I make an exception.

I've been watching it for years..... I've always liked some of the snooker "characters".... the Alex Higginseses, Big Bill Werbeniukseses (the only man I've ever known to have a doctors note to allow him to sink a number of pints of beer BEFORE a game), Ronnie O'Sullivanseses, Ray (Count Dracula) Reardonseses... etc etc.... I have some great snooker memories, albeit most of the early ones are as a result of VERY late nights (staying up well after my bedtime).

I will at this point mention that today's Ali Carter and Stephen Maguire match has left me a bit cold!

I'll watch it all day... all night.... and go to bed and watch the highlights of whatever I've been watching all day.

I've played a few games of snooker.... I've never been any good at it.... I don't even think my custard pie eyes could even see the far end of a snooker table these days.  I seem to remember at one point even falling asleep on a snooker table during a particular heavy session.... mid-shot!  The less said about those crazy days at the Slawit Con Club the better!

I don't think I could sit and watch the snooker live at the Crucible, or anywhere else for that matter..... sometimes it's nice to get up and make a coffee or take a "nature break" at will.... besides which, my afternoon nap would undoubtedly raise eyebrows when I began to snore!  I am sure it would make interesting TV though.

At least we're now down to a reasonable number of players left in the tournament, and that means I've now got chance to get the tea on.....  veg curry tonight with a side dish of snooker.... you're all invited.... bring a bottle!
