A sad day .... Giddy the goat dies.

I can't say I woke up today because I didn't really sleep. What a weird day. It was snowing outside. I don't know why I opened the bedroom window. It was -2 degrees celcius. I looked up into the field where we keep our donkey, 2 goats and 3 sheep and stared at what I thought was a pile of pooh for a while. And it slowly dawned. Poor old Giddy. That cruel north wind really gets my goat ...

A nation of chancers !


I thought about writing a long, slating report of our invariably horrible experiences travelling with the world's most ignorant airline but this little gem forwarded by the father-in-law sums it up perfectly!

A guy sitting at a bar at Heathrow Terminal 3 noticed a really beautiful woman sitting
Next to him. He thought to himself: "Wow, she's so gorgeous she must be an off duty flight attendant.
But which airline does she work for?"
Hoping to pick her up, he leaned towards her and uttered the Delta slogan: "Love to fly and it shows?" She gave him a blank, confused stare and he immediately thought to himself: "Damn, she doesn't work for Delta."

A moment later, another slogan popped into his head. He leaned towards her again,
"Something special in the air?"

She gave him the same confused look. He mentally kicked himself, and scratched Singapore Airlines off the list.

Next he tried the Thai Airways slogan: "Smooth as Silk."

This time the woman turned on him, "What the F*** do you want?"

The man smiled, then slumped back in his chair, and said "Ahhhhh, Ryanair!!!
