    Blonde Joke

    LEAVING THE OFFICE EARLY Three girls all worked in the same office with the same female boss. Each day, they noticed the boss left work early. One day the girls decided that, when the boss left, they would leave right behind her. After all, she never called or came back to work, so how would she know they went home early? The brunette was thrilled to be home early. She did a little gardening, spent playtime with her son, and went to bed early. The redhead was elated to be able to get in a quick workout at the gym before meeting a dinner date. The blonde was happy to get home early and surprise her husband, but when she got to her bedroom, she heard a muffled noise from inside. Slowly and quietly, she cracked open the door and was mortified to see her husband in bed with her lady boss! Gently, she closed the door and crept out of her house. The next day, at their coffee break, the brunette and redhead planned to leave early again, and they asked the blonde if she was going to go with them. "No way," the blonde exclaimed. "I almost got caught yesterday!"

    Credit Crunch

    We've all been affected by the events of the past week, here is some sound financial advice for todays markets: If you had purchased £1000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago it would now be worth £4.95. With HBOS, earlier this week your £1000 would have been worth £16.50. £1000 invested in XL Leisure would now be worth less than £5. But if you bought £1000 worth of Tennents Lager one year ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminium re-cycling plant, you would get £214. So based on the above statistics the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and re-cycle.

    Music

    i'm an old rocker, bands like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Dr Hook and CCR have a special place in my heart but bands like The Eagles, Match Box Twenty, Nirvana, Areosmith are hard to beat, with the modern stuff Green Day & Nickel Back are my pick. Gees how many great bands did I leave out
  6. G/day Mate, I don't know the area your fishing at all but I have done heaps of rock fishing around sydney and up and down the coast, if you with fish with weight you need to cast past the rocks and on to the sand. Where the sand meets the rocks is where you will find the better eating fish like bream, snapper, lizards and so on, if you want to fish in close where the wash is then you need to fish light' by light I mean with very small sinkers or no lead at all this gives the bait a more natural presentation also using a float can work, particularly fishing pilchard and garfish baits for tailor and kings. Hope this helps a bit

    Streaming Tv

    Lately I have been watching streaming TV from the states, most of the channels are pretty crappy but there are a couple of gems’ for me any way. The Sci-Fi channel is good with shows that are not on Fox over here yet but the down side with this channel is the adds that just keep going on &on &on, that said it’s still worth a look. They also have a fishing show called Northeast Angling which is pretty good, today’s episode is about fishing for Blue Sharks & Makos’ most of their salt water fishing is interesting with fish species that we don’t get over here but also types that we do, the tips and techniques that they use can be adapted for use over here so it’s really worth a look. I think that their fresh water fishing, which is mostly bass fishing, is boring but that’s just me. I’m sore others will like it. BTW watch internet down load http://www.tvunetworks.com/

  11. Sorry to hear the sad news and my deepest sympathy to his family I know how it feels to loose a good friend and fishing mate but I'm willing to bet Peter and Norm are having a cast & brew together right now
  12. there used to be regular reports of hairtail caught in the bay in winter but that was years ago, I suppose that they would be a chance in the deeper areas of the bay around the container terminal

  15. nice fish and not a bad back drop either
  16. There’s no substitute for experience so just hang in there and things will start to come together but here’s a few tips. Bait, fresh is best live is better, dawn and dusk are usually the best times to fish don’t fish mutable locations pick a spot you like and learn all you can about it talk to the people fishing there, find out what they are catching what bait they are using what’s the best time of day to fish, state of the tide high low run up run out all many place fish differently, you could join a fishing club, maybe a fishraider member will take you under their wing and give you a leg up.
  17. hope you own a fish n chip shop a lot of flake there

    In The 1500's The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s: These are interesting... Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married. Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water.. Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying It's raining cats and dogs. There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house.. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence. The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, Dirt poor. The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance way. Hence the saying a thresh hold. (Getting quite an education, aren't you?) In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme, Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old.. Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could, bring home the bacon. They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and chew the fat.. Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of ! the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous. Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust. Lead cups were used to drink ale or whiskey. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a wake. England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be saved by the bell or was considered a dead ringer. And that's the truth...Now, whoever said History was boring ! ! !

    Bank Letter

    A 98 year old woman in the UK wrote this to her bank. The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have it published in the Times Dear Sir, I am writing to thank you for bouncing my cheque with which I endeavoured to pay my plumber last month. By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the cheque and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honour it. I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my Pension, an arrangement, which, I admit, has been in place for only thirty eight years. You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and also for debiting my account £30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank. My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways. I noticed that whereas I personally attend to your telephone calls and letters, when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has become. From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a flesh-and-blood person. My mortgage and loan payments will therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at your bank by cheque, addressed personally and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you must nominate. Be aware that it is an offence under the Postal Act for any other person to open such an envelope. Please find attached an Application Contact Status which I require your chosen employee to complete. I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as much about him or her as your bank knows about me, there is no alternative. Please note that all copies of his or her medical history must be countersigned by a Solicitor, and the mandatory details of his/her financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be accompanied by documented proof. In due course, I will issue your employee with PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings with me. I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I have modelled it on the number of button presses required of me to access my account balance on your phone bank service. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Let me level the playing field even further. When you call me, press buttons as follows: 1 To make an appointment to see me. 2 To query a missing payment. 3 To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there. 4 To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping. 5 To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature. 6 to transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at home. 7 To leave a message on my computer (a password to access my computer is required. A password will be communicated to you at a later date to the Authorised Contact) 8 To return to the main menu and to listen to options 1 through to 8. 9 To make a general complaint or inquiry, the contact will then be put on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering service. While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait, uplifting music will play for the duration of the call. Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an establishment fee to cover the setting up of this new arrangement. May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous, New Year. Your Humble Client (Remember: This was written by a 98 year old woman; DOESNT SHE MAKE YOU PROUD!)
  21. Saw on the news that there were packs of sharks off the gold coast, maybe some one should invite archer for a swim
