Isn't it lovely to start the day with a smile? I know a couple of chuchgoers who will receive copies of these. Really Sid, disney spells ...
This is actually better than hearing them on Truckshunters. I used to forget them by the next morning!

Thanks Vivienne.

Beijing has ordered all personel computers sold in China from the 1st July to be pre-installed with the Green Dam software, which it says is designed to block pornographic and violent images.
A trial of the program suggested that it may be of limited use to parents.
When activated the software blocks images of Garfield the cat, dishes of flesh coloured cooked pork and one search engine blocked a close up image of Johnny Depps face.
As you might guess China declined to respond to any criticisms of the software.

Sri Lankan police have arrested an astrologer for giving gloomy predictions. Chandrasiri Bandara was taken by the police on Thursday. He had predicted the government would be unable to stop rising living costs.

And finally...
Two frogs have been 'married' in a ceremony in the western Indian state of Maharashtra to usher in the delayed monsoon rains. If the frogs are given a full religious service the rains start within days. ( a bit like real life for some)

Looks like people are making the most of the sunshine, can't blame them. I'm wondering have eventually given up on Truckshunters ...

Maureen said...

Sorry, I meant has everyone eventually given up on Truckshunters?

Here's a riddle to keep the old grey matter going:
I weaken all men for hours each day. I show you strange visions while you are away. I take you by night, by day take you back, none suffer to have me, but do from my lack. What am I?

Vivienne said...

Hi Maureen,

Is it Sleep?

Love,

Vivienne xxx

You get the gold star for today Vivienne. Well done. Can you remember when Gilly used to join in with the anagrams, although she didn't really understand them? bless her, we had some laughs didn't we? I miss her and hope that everything is ok with her.

Sid said...

I hardly got past the first line of your riddle Maureen...was sure the answer was 'women'.
I'll send you a photo that depicts the source of those wonderous country smells.
Folks say it gives you an appetite...to be honest I'm not sure about that.

Sid said...

The photo....meant send it to M&D's.

Maureen said...

Sid, I dread to think what that photo depicts ... do you think that Dora will publish it? I don't want to offend her sensibilities!

Sid said...

I think Dora will see the funny side of it, just don't look before you have your tea....
