It is common to hear the British complain about German tourists on holiday; they pinch the sun loungers, hog the deck chairs and have this curious thing about sunbathing in the nude…

Now the Germans are getting their revenge; A German newspaper has blasted the Brit’s (and they deserve it in many cases) and has informed it’s readers how to avoid British tourists on holiday. It has printed a hotlist of places to avoid at all costs including Ibiza (you’d have to be mad to go there anyway) and certain places in Majorca and Tenerife.

They have a point; there are many Brit’s themselves who avoid these places for the same reason !

Indiana Jones makes amazing discovery !

Posted under Entertainment, Not too serious by Wendy on May 27th, 2008 4:32 pm

Indiana Jones, in the next exciting instalment of the gripping film series arrives in a long forgotten cave…

He finds an ancient relic; one that is so frightening; one that is so dangerous to the existence of mankind that he must decide what to do…destroy it…or capture it for scientific examination…

What has he found…??

A perfectly preserved, long hidden species of the most feared form of alien life ever to walk the earth…

the cranium of a Georgonian Bushoid !!

Our hero takes his torch, shines it deep in to the darkest recesses of the skull and searches for proof of the existence of the one thing that mankind had always speculated on from the very beginnings of time - his brain - and discovered tangible proof of what mankind had always believed…

It didn’t have one !!

Get ready for OAP Muskateers!

This is an elderly folks home with a difference! these residents who live at Melbourne’s Catholic Homes Corpus Christi in Australia are all retired Nuns and Priests. Not for them the boredom of sitting in a chair all day with nodding heads and doing crosswords.

These ex-people of the cloth spend their leisure time learning to dip, lunge and jab just like Zorro!  they should be good at it too as I well remember the days of corporal punishment at the schools I went to. Those Nuns were fast !!

Their instructor is a ripe 73 years old himself and over 80 of the residents take part in the weekly lessons designed to keep them fit, active and safe at the same time. They are loving it and several are showing themselves to be quite talented at the sport.

Maybe it is the time to declare the geriatric olympics a reality…?

I have to admit I could imagine my old heamistress, Sister Mary Philomena, under that mask - she was always great at brandishing the ruler and had a very good aim - which I experienced on a few occasions…

Go Sister go !!
