Ringcraft Classes Around Bristol

I've noticed a few visitors have come to my blog via a search for ringcraft classes so I thought it may be a good idea to put a few more contact details regarding the ones I have found. I know it's a bit late for Crufts but there is always next year!

The Burnham training classes are held on Monday nights and start at about 8.15pm. They are held in the scouts hut which is behind the rugby club house. The map below should help you to find it.

Another one has just started up again after taking a break for the winter. It is run in the village hall in Norton Malreward on Wednesday nights from 7.30pm.

Norton Malreward is a little village just past Whitchurch (going out of Bristol) off Norton Lane. Turn right by the children's park, into Norton lane, carry straight until the road forks and take the left fork. The hall is on the left near to the other end of the village.

Maybe see you at the Norton Malreward one next Wednesday.

How Many Swallows?

While writing a post for my other blog, Plymouth's Pilgrims, I looked at the Plymouth Argyle football site to see what was being said about yesterday's game.

One sentence which made me smile was this by Paul Sturrock:

"One swallow does not make a summer"

I'm sure all the men will be pleased about that!

Why the big smile Paul?

Just Another Friday Night

She walked in from the outside area where they had been banished and draped her arms around his neck. “You ok luvvy?” she asked.

He turned looked at her then stood up, picked up his chair, so it towered above her head and went to throw it across the room. She quickly moved around him so she was stood in-between him and the rest of the room.

“What the fuck are you doing? Put that chair down!” she shouted. He did as she told him but his eyes were fixed on someone across the room. She followed his gaze and found a stocky lady in her 40’s sat on her usual stool staring back at him. Abusive words were exchanged between the man and lady as they both started to move towards each other.

Friends of the two surrounded each of them in an attempt to ease the situation. She being a friend of both of them had to decide who she was going to stand with. She moved towards the woman and tried to tell her he was not worth it. He was young and drunk and not worth getting into any kind of argument with.

The lady, who was also drunk, was repeating the same sentences, in a just about understandable slurred voice, over and over. “He can’t say things like that about my dog. My dog comes in here all the time. He can’t say things like that”

All the while, Gus, who hadn’t been in there for a while and gets quite violent when he’s had a drink, decided it was his role to take a stand for the morals of all men and started telling the man just what he thought of him for picking the chair up against the lady, who was now on her way out of the room to go to the banished spot.

Now the argument was not just between the man and the lady but the man and his friends and Gus and his friends.

This was when the man in charge of the place decided he should walk around to where all the noise was coming from to find out what was happening. He had timed his walk to perfection. By the time he got there the friends of the two bickering men had diffused the situation and things were calmer. Now they were all stood around happily analysing what had just happened as if they just watched Plymouth Argyle beat Bristol City on the wide screen TV.

Time for another drink.

Friday Fun Night

So who will it be?

Maybe you?

Or you?

Or even you?

No.

You are all going to have to wait until next time.

I'm having too much fun to be even considering it.

Taking about fun, it's Friday which means it's time to go out to play!

Anti-Freeze Anniversary

For all you men who have been with that someone special for 7 years you had better watch out.

It is a known fact that after seven years of living with the same person there's nothing you would like better than to get rid of them. Many just leave for a newer model. Some leave to start life on the single scene again, free to take home and experience new pleasures with whoever they want. While others take it a step further.

Poor Kate now faces a long time without money

Take Kate Knight for example. She and Lee had been married for the dreaded 7 years to the day when she tired to kill him with curry. Lee must have thought that she had cooked him the meal for their 7th anniversary out of love and devotion, but Kate had other reasons for the meal. You see curry has a strong flavour and so must have hid the taste of the anti-freeze she had added to the special dinner.

Lee don't look too happy but at least he's still here

I don't know who Kate’s solicitor was and why they didn't just say she was having a period at the time and didn't know what she was doing, but poor Kate has just been found guilty of attempted murder, she was hoping to get her hands on her Lee's life insurance.

As 29th February approaches all men should be on their guard for women out to catch someone with a large insurance policy or this could be you in 7 years time.

So who's going to be out in Bristol this Friday night??

Glasgow Day Rider

I must stop finding blogs I like. I tend to stay far too long reading them and forget what I was looking for in the first place.

Tonight I spent ages reading Bloodbus. A blog, which has also been published in book form, written by a bus driver in Glasgow, Scotland. The post I enjoyed most was Gollum's Funeral.

Four dinners and Not a Mince in Sight

I just had the pleasure of reading Four Dinners Blog. It's written by a man who doesn't mince his words and likes a good riot.

Go over and take a look, you won't be disappointed, well you may if you're a traffic warden!

Did You Know 1

Did you know:

It is illegal not to tell the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing.

Close Call

I just received an email from Tim which I thought I would share with you. (If you click on the photo's they are a lot clearer)

'Read Caption on 1st photo then look at second photo'

Look at the picture above and you can see where this guy broke through the guardrail, right side where the people are standing on the road (pointing). The pick-up was traveling from right to left when it crashed through the guardrail. It flipped end-over-end, across the culvert outlet, and landed right side up on the left side of the culvert, facing the opposite direction from which he was traveling.

Now look at the 2 nd picture below...

If this guy didn't believe in God before, do you suppose he believes now?

Thanks Tim.

Rod Stewart - Reason To Believe

One of my favorites by Rod. I was lucky enough to be there and see him sing this live.
