Even more dog...

"When God had made the earth and sky,
The flowers and the trees.
He then made all the animals,
The fish, the birds and bees.
And when at last He'd finished,
Not one was quite the same.
He said, "I'll walk this world of mine,
And give each one a name."
And so He traveled far and wide
And everywhere He went,
A little creature followed Him
Until its strength was spent.
When all were named upon the earth
And in the sky and sea,
The little creature said, "Dear Lord,
There's not one left for me."
Kindly the Father said to him,
"I've left you to the end.
I've turned my own name back to front
And called you Emannwoym, my friend."

Finding Dog

Dog is great!

I have recently found Dog in my life and want to share it with everyone.  Dog is invisible!  Yes, you can't see him and, get this, Dog is everywhere!

Dog can do anything he wants to and we can talk to Dog in our heads like telepathically and he can hear everyone who talks to him all the time wherever  they are and whenever they talk to him.

He doesn't talk back though which is a bit disappointing but if you really want something, like your favourite football team to win their next match and you talk to him really hard you will sometimes get what you wish for!

Oh yes Dog is great all right!

I was going to put a picture up of Dog but apparently it's frowned upon so I will put up a different picture instead so I don't get into trouble :)

Not Dog okay?

Puzzle

Can you solve the riddle?  Say what you see.....!

Fear

Sebastian

Just had a very quick thought whilst looking through another's blog - should we refer to Sebastian Coe as Sebastian Church of England or Sebastian C of E?

Work name

There seems to be a distinct trend towards everyone having to wear identification badges at their place of work.  In essence a label for each of the sheep and could be simply replaced with a numbered tag on the ear.

Some who work with direct contact to the public want to be able to use a pseudonym rather than their real name, to avoid potential repercussions from their dealings.  I think this is a good thing and the scope of possible names you could choose opens up all sorts of fun options.

I would choose something like 'Clint' or 'Kirk' or howabout something subtle like 'God'?

'Mike Hunt' or 'R Sole' or 'Dick Head' could be dress-down Friday names.

Bob Down is Rock Eastwood on Friday

Just had to get this book

Anoraksia

If you had an anorak made out of cheddar, could you see the hood for the cheese?

Syria

It seems virtually impossible that people can seriously discuss attacking Syria.  Their President is the spitting image of Captain Darling and even though he was a pompous oik in Blackadder goes Forth, he turns out for the good in the final episode.

Bashar Al Assad

Capt. Darling

Books 4

So I was floating around above the Earth in the space shuttle, reading the latest 'Focus' magazine.  Just couldn't put it down.

Books 3

I was reading the very sad story yesterday of an old and sick dog that was dying - just couldn't put it down.

Books 2

A friend of mine recently ate a book on conjuring - he is spell-bound.

Books 1

I was reading a fascinating account of 'super glue'  and couldn't put it down.

'Shit Teat'

You've just got to love this...

Marketing manager Emma Bradford said: "There's one single massive question to which we as a people must demand an answer - is this going to break the telly?

"Because if the glass shit-teat stops working, I'm on for some serious destruction of property."

Daily Mash

Like a time warp

Loopy



You have to admit pretty impressive stuff from the Labour leader :)

Red Pill

Would you take it?

Red Pill

Link to copyrighted material

Apparently there is a move to allow the seizing of websites and even the imprisonment of the owners of websites that contains links to other sites that (may?) host copyrighted material.

So, here goes...

naughty link

Greece

I've got bills
Multiplying
And I'm losing control
Got no power
You're not supply'in

Better wake up
Cos' I need some funds
And my heart is set on EU

IMF, IMF, IMF will soon come through

Sheep

'Toms'

Recently bought myself a nice new pair of those, oh so fashionable 'Toms' (isn't that police jargon for something?) and was disappointed they didn't last five minutes.

Not impressed - don't buy them!

Too funny and probably true

From the Daily Mash :- 'Meanwhile, meteorologist, Jane Thompson, explained: "Scientifically speaking, if you insist on booking Bono and putting him on a pedestal to be worshipped, God will try to drown everyone within a five mile radius."'

Too often

The words 'Never again' are heard too often

Kipling revisited

If any question why we died

Answer it's because our 'leaders' lied.

For the victims of the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq & Libya and for the coming wars in Syria and Iran

The World

We were raised to believe
The World was a good World
With a few Bad People.

The Truth
As always
Is the exact opposite.

Flikr

So... I am posting lots of piks to flikr because I have been having lots of fun with befunky (which is great and I don't want anyone else to start using it and make better pictures than I can,  so don't go there, okay? please)

I notice that there is a group (there are lots of groups,  I was going to start a new one called 'Lovely Girls' as in  "Father Ted") called 'We love flikr' or something like that BUT it was written all in capitals and therefore appears as we love FLIKR and a sans serif font does the trick :)

dBase

A long time ago I used to train people on creating and using computer databases.  I was remembering with fondness the magical interface that was a key feature of dBase II.  All later incarnations of dBase had a more involved menu structure and a variety of display options available - such is progress :)

Anyway - I thought it would be interesting for anyone who might accidentally stumble across this blog, to show an example of 'real' computing back in the days...

A quick image search didn't show anything of use so I will have to recreate the fun using Paint...

dBase II dot prompt

Yes - the rather sexy 'dot' prompt.  How incredibly cool was that as a designed interface?

Flocking

I have a vague recollection of a Six Million Dollar Man episode which somehow ended with the stars surrounded by sheep and someone saying in quite a deliberate manner "Get the flock out of here".

At the time I knew this was quite risque and amusing even though I wasn't 100% certain why.

Anyways, I find it quite amusing how the term 'flock' is used within religion (especially christianity) and I am equally surprised at how people accept it.

It is a derogatory term if you give it any thought at all.  The flock are the sheep being guided and cared for by the 'good shepherd'.

Sheep are of course generally well looked after, fleeced regularly and eventually eaten.
