Really Good Book



I have just finished reading this book and I have to say it is fantastic.

It is a collection from the Random Acts of Reality Blog and in parts is laugh out loud funny and in others it is quite sad.

I am amazed at the stupid reasons that people call out an ambulance, I have had to call an ambulance twice, once for a guy who had been hit round the head with a metal pole right outside my house and the second time when little sis had a huge asthema attack and could hardly breath. I found it nerve racking - what if it wasn't serious enough? Did I really need to dial 999????? And then you see things about people calling 999 to have a light blub changed!!!!

I would recommend this book to anyone.

Funny

This is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. Enjoy.

Bit of a rant!!!

I get the sneaking suspicion that I am, at the age of just 36, turning into a grumpy old woman!

My pet peeve at the moment is people on their mobile phones while driving a car. How difficult is the legislation to understand? I thought it was pretty easy. You cannot hold a mobile phone in your hand while driving a car, you cannot talk into your mobile phone if you are holding it in your hand, and you sure as heck cannot be sending a text if you are behind the wheel of a moving car. Apparently, this is very tricky and difficult to understand especially it seems in Cambridge.

I make a point now on my drive to work and back to count the number of people that I pass on the phone, in the last 6 months or so I have never had a journey where the score was zero. The average seems to be 3 or 4.

I have a solution. The Police could (and I know this is a wild and crazy idea) enforce the law, there should be the introduction of fixed, instant fines which the money could go to the local police force, which in turn would provide more incentive to enforce the law - more money = more coppers.

That way the dozy woman who was driving her fancy car up the arse of mine on the way home while trying to dial a number on her mobile,or possibly sending a text (couldn't tell as I was more concerned if she was going to brake in time to avoid hitting me) tonight might learn her lesson and never follow behind me again.

Rant over ................................well on this subject anywa. Don't get me started on the Newmarket Road bus lanes.

Girlie Wisdom

Another email that I was sent that made me giggle, so I thought it was only fair to share.


Women over 50 don't have babies because they would put them down and forget where they left them.

One of life's mysteries is how a 2-pound box of chocolates can make a woman gain 5lbs.

My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely.

The best way to forget your troubles is to wear tight shoes.

The nice part about living in a small town is that when you don't know what you are doing, someone else does.

The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight because by then, your body and your fat are really good friends.

Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.

Sometimes I think I understand everything, and then I regain consciousness.

I gave up jogging for my health when my thighs kept rubbing together and setting fire to my knickers.

Every 7 minutes of everyday, someone in an aerobics class pulls a hamstring.

Amazing! You hang something in your closet for a while and it shrinks 2 sizes!

Skinny people irritate me! Especially when they say things like..."You know, sometimes I forget to eat!" .....Now... I've forgotten my address, my mother's maiden name and my keys. But I have never forgotten to eat. You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat.

A friend of mine confused her Valium with her birth control pills... She has 14 kids but doesn't really care.

My body is not all that communicative but I heard from it the other day after I said "Body, how would you like to go to the six o'clock class of vigorous toning?" Clear as a bell my body said "Listen witch.....do it and die."

The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing and then they marry him.

I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are: eating too much; impulse buying and driving too fast. Are they kidding? That's my idea of a perfect day!
