I would love to take the credit for this one, but alas from a local magazine, I thought it was really amusing so would love to share it

For those of you who've had them, it brings back memories, for those of you who have not yet had the pleasure here goes:

Test 1
To discover how the nights will feel...
a. Walk around the living room from 5pm to 10pm carrying a wet bag weighing approximately 10-15lbs, with a radio tuned to static (or some other obnoxious sound) playing at maximum volume.
b. At 10pm, put the bag down, set the alarm for midnight and go to sleep.
c. Get up at midnight and walk the bag around the living room until 1am, then set the alarm for 3am.
d. As you can't get back to sleep, get up at 2am and make a cup of tea.
e. Go to bed again at 2.45am.
f. Get up again at 3am when the alarm goes off and sing songs in the dark until 4am.
g. Put the alarm on for 5am. Get up when it goes off.
i. Make breakfast.... Keep this up for the next five years. Look cheerful.

Test 2
Sell your sports car/two seater and buy a pratical five door saloon. Buy a chocolate ice-cream cone and put it in the glove compartment, next get a coin and insert it into the CD player.
Take a family size packet of chocolate biscuits, mash them into the back seat. Run a garden rake along both sides of the car - there...... perfect!

Test 3
Put on your finest work clothes, pick a day on which you have an important meeting. Now, take a cup of cram and put 1 cup of lemon juice in it, stir.
Dump half of the mixture on your nice silk/expensive shirt. Saturate a towel with the other half of the mixture. Attempt to clean your shirt with the saturated towel.
Do NOT change, you don't have time. Go directly to work.


Well there you go, just a snippet from the local rag, I thought it was funny and certainly had those memories flying back, or should I say nightmares!!

!laugh!

!bow!

I know frightening really, legally my sixteen year old can have children, now that's a scary thought in itself, considering he still can't drink alcohol, not able to vote and can't even drive a car.

If I may ask--what are the ages to do those things in the UK??

to drive a car you have to be 17, to drink alcohol and to vote you have to be 18

And yet you can join the forces at 16.

yes, with parents permission though, I joined The Royal Navy when I was 17, and had to have my mum's permission.

this is an interesting post, I will become a father in a few months, my first child and Im 47 yrs old, Im selling the sporty car and have already acquired a family estate car, and the thought of those sleepless nights are starting to bear down on me, at an age when most Men find themselves with teenagers I will have a new born to consider, and the arguments with the missus over the name is really killing us, Dennis Bergkamp Cremona if its a boy and Denise Bergkamp Cremona if its a girl, my wife will not accept this compromise and is threatening to leave with the baby if I don't change my mind ? ? ? any other 'Arsenal' styled suggestions that will fit male or female gratefully accepted .
