Burgh island

Burgh islandLast week we were on holiday in Devon. On Sunday we took a drive to Burgh Island. The tide was out when we got there, so we took a walk across the sand to the island.With our various gadgets (phones & GPS) we tried to look up a geocache. We found a cache on the island, but we were unable to login to the geocaching website, to pick up the co-ordinates on my mobile phone. A quick call to Alan and we had the co-ordinates we needed.

The island was quite busy, so we wandered around a bit, before attempting to get to the cache unnoticed.
Once we has sucessfully located the cache, it had started to rain, and the tide had come in. So we waited for the tractor back to the mainland, in the Pilchard Inn, and had a quick drink.

MONDAY JOKE: Don’t trust the oldies

Posted by Eloise on 18 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: Jokes

A tour bus driver is driving with a bus load of seniors down a highway when he is tapped on his shoulder by a little old lady. She offers him a handful of peanuts, which he gratefully munches up.

After about 15 minutes, she taps him on his shoulder again and she hands him another handful of peanuts. She repeats this gesture about five more times.

When she is about to hand him another batch again he asks the little old lady, why don’t you eat the peanuts yourself?

“We can’t chew them because we’ve no teeth”, she replied.

Website upgrade

Posted by Eloise on 28 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: General

Last week I upgraded this website to Wordpress 2.6 using the automatic upgrade plugin. Although most of you won’t notice any changes, it will allow me to add some new features soon.

For those of you that didn’t notice I have recently added a ratings bar on most of the jokes and posts. This will allow me to see which entries are the most popular on the site. So please cast your vote.

I also fixed the contact us page, which had stopped working (not sure when).

MONDAY JOKE: The Ostrich

Posted by Eloise on 21 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: Jokes

A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him. The waitress asks for their orders. The man says, ‘A Hamburger, fries and a coke,’ and turns to the ostrich, ‘What’s yours?’
‘I’ll have the same,’ says the ostrich.
A short time later the waitress returns with the order. ‘That will be $9.40 please,’ she says and the man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact amount for payment.

The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man says, ‘A hamburger, fries, and a coke.’
The ostrich says, ‘I’ll have the same.’
Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact amount.

For a while this becomes routine until the two enter again later in the week.

‘The usual?’ asks the waitress.
‘No, this time it’s a treat, so I will have a steak, baked potato, and salad,’ says the man.
‘Yep! Same,’ says the ostrich.
Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, ‘That will be $32.62.’
Once again the man pulls the exact amount out of his pocket and places it on the table.

The waitress can’t hold back her curiosity any longer.
