In 2001 I went to Kenya on holiday for 4weeks. Did Safaris and all theplaces of interest. It was amazing and saw wonderful animals. Anyway went on a snorkiling trip over the coral reef. The guide said follow me and he showed me amazing sea life. We stopped and he picked up a massive star fish and handed it me. I stood up out of the water amazed by it. He then said iit's ok Iam not Muslim.
What has snorkiling got to do with religion I thought. Well looked down and my boobies had fell out of my bikini top 😤We both laughed as I hurriedly pulled my top up.
Things had not headed south then and obviously much younger .
You've reminded me of another snorkelling story, moomie...
When I was little, we went on holiday to Greece. My dad went out snorkelling every day, and when he found something he liked - like a pretty shell - he popped it in his trunks to bring it back to show us... Awww!
One afternoon, we were playing on the beach, when suddenly my dad leapt out of the sea and rushed up the beach to the cafe toilet. He probably wasn't actually screaming, but he may have been!
Ten minutes later, he re-emerged, looking red-faced and flustered... It turned out one of the lovely little shells he'd found had a tiny baby octopus inside it, which crawled out inside his trunks... and guess where it had decided to attach its suckers?!
Well all you lovely people i have just been spending money i don't have ha ha ha,i have got two longline vests,a pair of pallazoo pants and a boob tube top for summer. Also guess what i have lost another 2lbs in weight and only another 2lbs to lose and i will be under 16st. whoop whoop.xxxxxx
Morning All, I'll have a hot chocolate with marshmallows, sprinkles and whipped cream please nom, nom, nom...... Well my very embarrassing story is,,,, When I was around 17-18, I was waiting for my future hubby to get changed after a football match. The changing rooms were in the factory where we both worked. Well, I was always known for eating lots of sweets, Polo's etc (I only weighed 6 1/2 stone too!) So, one of the works engineers who was working over the weekend came sauntering down the stairs (The loo's were there too) "Hello Barb he says, got any sweets?" "yes I say, delving into my coat pocket, take your pick" As I looked down at my hand, there in the middle of the toffees, sherbet lemons etc to my horror was a Tampon!!! "Ooo! I say promptly picking it up and putting it back in my pocket, I don't think you would want one of these!" and calmly carried on chatting as if nothing had happened while dying a thousand deaths and looking like a beetroot.
Ummmmm..... Lovely Hot Chocolate, now got cream all round my chops xxxxx
Hi, I would like a cup of proper tea (made with tea leaves and served in bone china) plus a fresh baked scone with clotted cream and strawberry jam !!!
My funny but very embarrassing moment happened five yrs ago. We went on a short break to Warners hotel, Nidd Hall in Harrogate. They have a beautiful indoor swimming pool, so we had all taken our cossies and decided to spend time in the pool. The ladies changing room exited straight onto pool and so I got in pool. Because I was in so much pain I decided to get out leaving rest of our party in pool.
My eyes were sore from the chlorine and I am partly deaf so I could not hear my companions yelling at me, I thought they were just having fun (pool was behind me) so I proceeded thru the exit door to changing room, suddenly I was beholding half a dozen or so completely naked young men, because of course, I had entered men's changing room, not ladies !!! I beat a hasty retreat, my friends were all hysterical by then, I was mortified with embarrassment !!! The young men made no attempt at all to,cover up, they couldn't care less that I had come barging in, and they were also roaring with laughter. I can tell you that for an RA sufferer I moved pretty darned quick to the sanctuary of the ladies room !!!!!
Hope you are enjoying your coffee morning Diddy, having a laugh and getting stuck into the foody goodies xxxxx. Take care, Lynda
I'll have a Ceylon tea, please with scone, clotted cream and home-made strawberry jam, following by a slice of chocolate cake. I was going to say just a green tea, please, as I'm on under 500 calories today, having just started the 5:2 diet, to try and shed the 2.5 stone which I've put on thanks to Prednisilone. But then I thought "hey, these are only virtual calories; I can have as many as I like! I'm afraid my new dress didn't arrive in time for your party, Diddydriver, but I am wearing my best jumper in your honour.
I don't think I've shared this before. Don't worry, it's not really about RA....
I was having my first Rituximab infusion and the young nurse went to help me move across the bed, nearly grabbing a wrist despite the conspicuous supports I wear. She then aimed for my shoulder " no, that's even worse! " I squealed. "People are always squeezing that shoulder. I'm going to get a parrot to sit on it". She left the room without a smile. A few minutes later, the cheery young doctor came in, grinning "I expect this is a joke" he said. Apparently, the nurse had gone to find him as she was very worried about the parrot I was going to get, because of the risk of infection". I had not occurred to me that she had taken me seriously. I've got enough problems without sporting a parrot (who would probably ruin my reputation of respectability by repeating my bad language) xx
Well hello... Mine's a flat white with a very light sprinkling of cinnamon. I'd like a slice of millionaires shortbread please.
I can't think of any really funny stories but one thing that springs to mind is an Ofsted story. I work special ed and many years ago the inspectors thought it would be a good idea to 'interview' some of our youngsters about our school and what they thought about it. One boy said he would like 'more donkeys!' (It was near Christmas) and another boy wanted 'Mikey Mouse' lessons - I never saw these facts appear in our Ofsted report... I wonder why to this day!
Well Its time for a chilled glass of white wine ( only small ) !
This happened last summer season in our mountain hotel. Our rooms have old fashioned locks so we tend to leave them open. An elderly couple arrived to stay the night my daughter took them upstairs to show them their room No. 9. They then came straight down for some lunch. A mother and daughter then arrived they came from Japan but spoke English well. Their luggage had arrived earlier we had taken it up to their room earlier and put it in the middle of the room - couldn't be missed. They decided to have a tea before going upstairs. The elderly couple finished lunch and went up. My daughter took the 2 ladies up about 30 minutes later. She showed them into their room Rm.10 and thought strange the bed doesn't look made ! There was a loud snoring noise coming from under the duvet! anyway a man woke up and appeared from under the duvet! My daughter said sorry sir your bedroom is next door! He said he had got confused and went into the nearest even when it wasn't his luggage and his wife was in the correct room! Anyway apologies all round. I had to change the whole bed of course and I apologized again to the Japanese ladies - the older one laughed and said she thought he was included in the room facilities! Still don't know what the bloke was thinking of !
My son came back today from 4 months away. 3 in New Zealand shearing sheep and 1 month touring around OZ. All he can say is that it is cold - it would have been worse if he has come back a couple of days ago.
Hi everyone,this happened to my friend in Majorca several years ago.we were on a bar terrace waiting for a lift,my friend Julie,who I will say is quite a big girl,decided to sit down on one of the deckchair style sun loungers,there was an enormouse ripping sound,and poor Jules had gone clean through the canvas,her backside on the floor, arms and legs trapped,pointing skyward, she looked like an upturned turtle,well I cracked up,she was helpless,luckily her husband was with us, and we managed to pull her out,oh how I wished I had caught it on camera,needless to say,she went on a diet after that.hope everyone has enjoyed the day, especially you Diddydriver.xxxx
Sorry it's taken a while to get here, left work late and then had to go into town and buy a baby gift for a work colleague who goes on maternity leave on Thursday. I don't know where the time went, mind you I love looking at baby things. She hasn't found out if it's a boy or girl so I needed something to suit either, didn't think it would be so hard to find something. Anyway all sorted and I am now ready for a hot chocolate and a big slice of that gorgeous looking coffee and walnut cake. I remember a funny thing, when my sister and I were young we were allowed to get the bus into town and thought we were so grown up being allowed to go buy the fruit and veg from the market, in those days everything was placed into thin plastic carrier bags. We always chose to sit upstairs on the double decker bus home. On the way down the stairs my sister's bag went bang bang on each step and fruit went rolling down the stairs as fell through the hole she had managed to make. We were laughing so much trying to pick it all up and carry it home in our arms and upturned jumper, think quite a bit of it was left on the bus too. One more slice of cake please and then I will help you clear away when everyone has finished. X
I'll have to wait until the next one Sylvi. Pacing my funny stories you know...!
Yes, Monday morning! I updated on my original post straight after asking for every one to list the problems they're still experiencing so I could collate a list but nobody's responded.
No an Android Samsung. Hope you got your bloods sorted. I have had to chase mine up . Was on two WebKit 3 weeks since last one no forms and Nurse appointment put back a month. Just one of many issues at the moment.
Oh June you wouldn't believe it, I've been all around the houses & back again but I'll get there eventually! Save me a comfy seat & make sure nobody leaves before I get there will you? x
Thanks for the invite, I will have a cup of weak tea and any cake but chocolate. Thinking of two incidents, firstly as a trained general nurse decided I want to know more about psychiatry so started my training. On night duty in the elderly ward were most patients had dementia in varying degrees. We collected in the false teeth for cleaning, this done they were left to soak in a small ante room. Whilst working behind curtains with one patient another patient had got up and we found her playing with the teeth mixing them up. The next morning we had to go round asking patients do you think they fit, are they yours. As it was my last day on that ward never did find out if they all had the right choppers. Had visions of them swapping teeth for days, oh dear. Another cuppa please the first was so good. Xx
Been in a similar situation Cagsie. I trained as a psychiatric Nurse. I did love working with the old dears. One old Lady use to call me a ginger haired cow or golden hair depending on her mood that day.
Could certainly move quick those days dodging flying teapots and hairbrushes.
Hi to you all, oooh coffee and walnut cake for me and a nice strong cup of tea please. Himself and l moved to Ibiza in 2000 and not wanting to appear ignorant of the Spanish language l got the usual phrase book to learn a few words to get us by until lessons started.
Eager to use my new found words, after the usual Hola and Gracias in shops and bars l was saying how hot
( mucho caliente ) l was since arriving, well, people were giving me funny looks and the men in particular smiled a lot.
Himself was getting a bit miffed and of course l hated every minute of it ( ha ha ) after 3 weeks l found out that l had been saying l was hot as in Hot Stuff!!!!!!, after that my nickname was Tottie.
What a lovely idea. I really hope this has cheered you up! I'm a bit late joining the party but I am now having a latte and chocolate hobnob! Take care everyone. X
