Simply Whimsical
If you c an start the day without caffeine,
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without alcohol,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
Then You Are Probably....The Family Dog!!!!

My Blackberry Is Not Working
The Two Ronnies
|
It seems the British public can be merciless.
Following on the heels of the Two Ronnies Four Candles (Fork Handles) sketch we promptly received emails telling us about Ronnie Corbett's frozen blackberry.
As if Blackberry weren't having enough problems since the launch of the iPhone, here is a sketch that takes their name in vain and has the audience "laughing in the aisles". (Isles?)
Here is a comment posted about this video about 3 months ago "I lived in England when these comedians were so active, the world was a better place with them around . May I also include Harry Secombe. I loved them all especially " the cleaning ladies song" by the two Ronnies Brilliant in every way."

Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster
T he Chernobyl disaster was a catastrophic nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine.
An explosion and fire released large quantities of radioactive particles into the atmosphere, which spread over much of Western USSR and Europe.
The Chernobyl disaster is widely considered to have been the worst nuclear power plant accident in history, and is one of only two classified as a level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale. (The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011 being the other).
The battle to contain the contamination and avert a greater catastrophe ultimately involved over 500,000 workers and cost an estimated 18 billion rubles. The official Soviet casualty count of 31 deaths has been disputed, and long-term effects such as cancers and deformities are still being accounted for.
The accident raised concerns about the safety of the Soviet nuclear power industry, as well as nuclear power in general, slowing its expansion for a number of years and forcing the Soviet government to become less secretive about its procedures.
The government cover-up of the Chernobyl disaster was a catalyst for Glasnost, and paved the way for reforms leading to the Soviet collapse.

Goldwynisms Galore
Today's quote was just one of Sam Goldwyn's "Goldwynisms" - Like Thatcher, his larger than life presence let his sayings become 'isms', only in Sam's case they most often made people chuckle.
Here are a few to dwell on; though it may be that like Robin Hood he was finally given credit for deeds that were not actually his (on the basis that they well could have been):-
- Gentlemen, include me out.
- They stayed away in droves.
- Let's have some new clichés.
- Tell them to stand closer apart.
- Gentlemen, listen to me slowly.
- Our comedies are not to be laughed at.
- A bachelor's life is no life for a single man.
- You've got to take the bull between your teeth.
- I've gone where the hand of man has never set foot.
- An oral contract isn't worth the paper it's written on.
- The next time I send a damn fool for something, I go myself.

Well Fancy That
 One of the deepest holes ever drilled by man is the Kola Super deep Borehole, in Russia.
It reached a depth of 12,261 metres. That's about 40,226 feet or 7.62 miles.
It was drilled for scientific research and gave up some unexpected discoveries, one of which was a huge deposit of hydrogen so massive that the mud coming from the hole was boiling with it.
The deep core-drilled Kola borehole cannot be directly compared with any other borehole in the world.
In a deep core borehole, a section of the rock drilled through is recovered from within the hole.
It is this recovered drill core, and the information it represents about the rock that it was retrieved from, that is the most important feature of the borehole.
At the depth of about 7 km the rock at that was found to be fractured and saturated with water.
The project was finally abandoned in 2005 for lack of further funding.
