Buy everyone a drink?
A drunk staggers into a bar and says to the bartender, "I'd like to buy everyone in the bar a drink and get one for yourself too!" The bartender makes the drinks and everyone raises their glass and yells "CHEERS!" and downs their drinks.
The bartender says "That'll be $37.50."
The drunk says, "I don't have any money!"
This infuriates the bartender who then jumps over the bar and beats the living daylights out of the drunk and throws him out into the street.
The next day the same drunk walks into the same bar and says, "I'd like to buy the whole bar a drink, and get one for yourself, too." The bartender figures that maybe he was a little hard on the guy the day before and decides to give the guy the benefit of the doubt.
He makes the drinks and they all say, "Salute!" and down the drinks. The bartender says, "That'll be $42.50."
The drunk replies by putting his thumb to his nose, wiggling his fingers, and making a loud raspberry noise followed by, "I don't have any money!"
This angers the bartender even more than the first time. He jumps over the bar and beats the hell out of the drunk and throws him out into the street onto his face and kicks him a few times for good measure.
The next day the same drunk walks into the same bar, but before he can say anything the bartender says, "Let me guess, you want to buy the whole bar a drink and I should get one for myself, too, right?"
The drunk replies, "No way, you get too violent when you drink!"
I will use that one....11 out of 10...loved ithow to get dad to let me buy an electric guitar?
So, i've saved my hard earned money for an electric guitar but my dad says he'll only let me get an acoustic. when i asked him why, he said my room isnt clean enough! so i know he's just making random excuses (and the amp works with headphones so it wont be too loud). How do i convince him to let me buy one ??? I've been playing accoustic since october, and am getting pretty good. I also play bass guitar in jass band. Everyone says im really good, and i later found out that musicians, especially guitarists, runs in the family. help please!!!! They also know ill stick with it because ive been playing paino 4 about 5 years...
You above all people need an Electric guitar and you need to be positive. Do not settle for any thing less. Rise above petty objections and make your point. Remember you do not live long, before you know it you will be my age. Get what you need do not except no for an answer. Or try drums there good.I'm not having a very good day today, When to buy things and when will my bump get bigger?
I'm 24 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I found out I was having a girl 4 weeks ago. When I found out all I wanted to do was go out and buy things. So I went out and bought a bouncer chair, 8 or so baby grows, a snow suit, 4 or so sleepsuits, 2 pair of trousers and some little slippers. I had already bought 3 baby suits before. Oh and I've got the cot and a bath.
I'm due 19th December and I thought I'd wait until the end of October beginning of November (got to be end of the month as thats when my boyfriend gets paid) before i start to buy other things.
But for some reason today I was talking to someone else who's pregnant and looking on yahoo and everyone seems to have bought everything or at least be buying everything along time before there that far.
I've got the money to buy the things but as I still live at home so obviously space is abit of an issue I thought that it was a good idea to wait until later, plus there will be more winter clothes in the shop then
Does anyone else feel like this?
Also my belly is so small to say I'm nearly 25 weeks, some people don't even know I'm pregnant, I told my tutor I'd be in late tomorrow because I was at the midwife and she said she never even thought I was pregnant. Other people that aren't as far as me are alot bigger.
I think I'm just having a bad day today, If anyone else has felt like this if they could let me know are if anyone has any advice or anything that could cheer me up I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks
Thanks for all the answers so far.
I suppose it's a blessing in a way that my bellys not huge plus forgot to say the babies lying breech which could have something to do with my size?
I wasn't moaning that I wasn't as big as other people or that they have bought everything just feel like I'm behind.
I suppose it's just all my hormonoes one minute I'm fine then the next I'm panicking and having to reassure myself that everything will be fine.

I was a size 6-8 before now I'm in size 10 maternity jeans.
Could the fact that she's laying breech have something to do with me not being so big?
I'm at the midwife tomorrow haven't been since I was 15 weeks so she will hopefully measure my belly and let me know if I'm doing ok.
Hi you are buying things at the perfectly normal rate, you have got the basics that you need and as you are due iin decmeber its not that far away. You are being sensible, they probably are just getting thing that they dont really need and thats why it seems they are getting things earlier on than you but still, you are doing the best thing as like you say winter clothes are in then and you baby will be needing winter clothes, the only thing is the pram, but if you can just go out and buy one nearer your due date then thats great.
Dont worry about your bump, I too wasnt very big at all, and people have only these past weeks actaully noticed that I am pregnant and I am 40 weeks tomorrow, How shocking is that ? People are like when you due and im like anytime now lol and there like omg, I didnt think you were that far along.
I have been told I have a nice neat bump and kept my shape, but even thought they thing that is good, I wanted a big bump to show off, but never got it lol until now lol, but never mind this is my first and I am only small so I guess I shouldnt have a huge bump, but like you when you see people everyone looks bigger that you and you just think, whens my bump going to appear. then when it does your nearly ready for having your baby.
Im just picturing peoples faces when they see me pushing a pram and they didnt even know I was expecting in the first place, they'll be like how did that happen lol.
I just see the funny side of it now, as the thing is I have had a good pregnancy, so far Ill tell you how labour was in a few days if I dont go even more over, my due date is tomorrow, but for me my pregnancy has gone quick, I havent been in too much pain, I can still walk, and I havent moaned once.or put on loads of weight, So I can give myself a pat on the back for that.
Before I was pregnant I knew a few family members that just winged all the way thorught there pregnancy, Im like what are they moaning about, yep it not the most comfortable time in your life and you are aching or hurting somewhere and you cannot sleep, but its not that bad. You dont look you best most of the days and you have big feet and swollen legs and ankles and nothing fits, but whose to complain when you have your baby at the end of it all.
Just do things you own way and never compare how someone is buying something or how big your bump is ? It just adds to the stress you know your little one is there inside you and thats all that matters.
I forgot to say the reason why I wasnt very big up until recently was because my baby was lieing across me in the transverse position, I didnt find out till I was 29 weeks. I was given excercises to do and when I did them he moved then I had a magic apperaing bump lol,
If you baby is breach then start doing these excercises now to get him to turn as I was worring sick about my baby all the time being the wrong way and I was crying and a mess, all you do is get a gym ball or rock back and forth on all fours that help...Gordon Brown has stolen £1000 from everyone in the UK with Bradford & Bingley. When will this thief be stopped?
Gordon Brown is a thief. No better than a common burgler.
I had nothing to do with the stupid business model that Bradford and Bingley had that caused them to go bust, and now by taking over around £50 billion of almost worthless buy-to-let subprime mortgage debts it will be me that has to pay the interest on my share of this. Which is £1000. Yes an average of £1000 for each of the 50 million people in the UK.
I've got better things to do than pay that sort of money for something I had nothing to do with.
Instead of letting it go bust, Brown has decided to make everyone pay. What an ar5s.
And if people start banging on about "saving the financial system" BULL. If it goes down there'll be a huge stock market crash, but the system itself will survive - new players who have not invested in these stupid businesses such as Bradford & Bingley will be able to come in and take over.
Now with Brown putting the taxpayer into debt many of these smarter people will be held back.
There's no doubt about it, Brown has a grudge against this country, and wants it to fail.
The sooner he's out, the better for everyone.
Mr Rosenkrantz, Bradford&Bingley have a mortgage book of around £50 billion. That is debt, and they have to make sure that they receive from the mortgage holders interest to pay this debt. Due to the drop in house prices and the decline in the economy more and more of these people are defaulting on these mortgages, and the worse case scenario is that many of these sub-prime borrowers will be repossessed and then the payments stop.
This has caused B&B to nearly go bust.
So when the government takes it over, it is liable for the whole £50 billion, which means that either taxes have to go up by £1000 per person, or public services will have to be cut.
Beastie,
Yes the government has been elected for four years, but that is to do what WE the voters want them to do. And when they don't it is right for us to let them know in no uncertain terms that we're not happy. Sitting quiet like a good boy is the route to failure.
The government had nothing to do with the private business of Bradford and Bingley or any of the other bad banks. So if they went bust due to their own mistakes, I hardly think that is the fault of the government, and I don't think people would be right to blame them.
Albert R: Yes but I'll make sure I turn the gun on you first!

This buffoon will run and run until he is booted out lock stock and barrel ,As for those that think he is great were have you been for the last 10 years while this idiot has destroyed our culture encouraged mass immigration stolen pensions is responsible for the countries coffers being empty , borrowed money that will take years to repay, Is responsible for pensioners living in the worst poverty in Europe , Employed the biggest mass of civil servants doing non jobs since Caligula, paved the way for Scotland to ponce of England even more than they have ever done in our history , Sold our gold reserves for pennies, Made it legal for immigrants to claim money for children still in their own countries. Encouraged a PC brigade worst than the Inquisition. Stifled the legal profession with human rights rubbish, so that the immates run the asylum. And so many other abuses of the British human condition that it would take to long here to list.
Are the EDL riots a good thingfor those involved,EDL thugs get to scream vile abuse and jostle with the police?
THE POLICE CAN RELIEVE THEIR TENSIONS buy letting their truncheons thud freely and it is free entertainment for everyone else,a good day had by all
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20101009/tuk-violence-flares-at-edl-protest-6323e80.html
OPAL, YES ITS A SHAME THAT PEOPLE GET OFFENDED WHEN DRUNK THUGS GO IN THEIR BACK GARDEN AND START ATTACKING THEM
"E.D.L are fighting to maintain our free speech and equal rights."
That statement is total bollocks!
The EDL are a bunch of mindless thugs, who get together to get tanked up, abuse minorities and fight with the police, counter demonstrators, their own stewards - anyone, really.
They are a BNP offshoot designed to provoke violence and racial tension on British streets, while Griffin stands to one side, condemns the violence, but "sympathises with their frustrations".What piano should I buy?
I am looking at buying myself a piano after 8 years of not having one and getting completely out of touch with what's out there and what are the good, bad and ugly choices!
Please could you help me decide which one to buy.
I am looking for a good electric piano, with weighted keys. I am at grade 7 level (but haven't played or practiced properly for those 8 years) so I really do need a good piano that will be up to scratch for that sort of level once I'm back up to that.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Oh, budget wise I'm just going to let everyone make their suggestions and go from there - I don't necessarily want to scrimp but I don't want a massive blow out either ;)
Cheers!
Yamaha is a really good brand. Check out their online store and if you have a store nearby the staff can help you in a jiffy.what do you need to connect a condenser dryer?
As i want to put it in my kictchen if it just needs to be connected to a mains switch. I want to order this today so can everyone let me know also are condenser dryers any good.
Also sorry again but which is better vented or condenser.
Plus if i bought a vented one would it be ok to put next to my balcony doors and just hang the tube for airing out on the balconybut the door will have to be open for this so i was worried about dust etc... coming back into the house
thanks for all those who help
the condenser will come with a compartment which gathers water and needs emptied when the level rises the vent drier need to be vented either by putting hose out a window or making hole in wall to outside and installing a vent - its not to hard i have my tumble drier in shed and hubby drilled and chisled a hole then we attached a vent cover - the condenser is the best if unable to do a hole and it means can work in house without loads of condensationOpinion -Buy a new AGP card or not? Which one?
Hey everyone,
I bought this computer about 4/5 years ago. Its good enough to play games like WoW, The Sims 3 etc
However I've been meaning to upgrade it a bit. The specs are as follows:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
2GB DDR RAM
ATI Radeon 9550 128mb AGP
Mobo: ASRock K8 Combo Z
After performing some tests at systemrequirementslab.com for the games I'd like to play (Fallout 3, Call of Duty 4+WaW, Crysis,etc) the test always show that the card is not recommended even on minimum settings and that's exactly what I want to upgrade.
Should I buy an AGP card able to run those games and that will last me a couple of years NOW or wait a really long while until I save up enough money for a new better computer with a new mother board, specs,etc?
My Ram and processor can still stand these years games I think so its just a matter of upgrading the video card. But I've also heard that if the processor is old it wont allow the card to run at its best speeds hence why Im willing to just get a new computer all together (once I get enough money, large sums of money on my hands tend to vanish quite fast, so I cant save money that easily :P ).
What AGP card would you guys recommend that is out now, is fast, reliable and good enough that will last a few years (by that I mean, able to run this years releases and next year aswell on high settings or better)
Thanks and if you need any more details just let me know but I think I've covered enough. Oh I'm using Windows XP btw, going to upgrade to 7 later this year.
Thanks once again,
Mauro
After reading your opinions I decided to buy a Sapphire HD 3850. It might bottleneck the computer but unfortunately all the other slower gfx cards that seemed to fit my computer better are a lot more expensive everywhere I looked. I got the radeon hd 3850 for 64 pounds so I think that's a bargain! :)
Your current card is a pretty mild card that only supports Shader 2.0. Most games now require at least Shader 3.0.
If you have limited funds now but would like to play current games including Crysis (just at low to medium settings) and low to moderate resolution, consider upgrading the graphics card AND overclock your processor as much as you can.
Cheap option: Refurbished or second hand AGP cards like the 7900GS AGP or ATI X1950 GT or Pro AGP.
New card options: ATI HD 2600 XT AGP or ATI HD 4650 AGP. Your current platform may just bottleneck the faster HD 3850 or HD 4670 AGP cards. May not be worth the higher expense.
Here's my old/mothballed AMD processor that I ran at 2.5gHz or higher when gaming: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=305343Anyone got the schematics for an Acer 244LC they can let me have?
The crooks at Acer want to charge £35 for them (the same as a repair). This is disgusting! For some free advice, I'd warn everyone not to buy Acer. The laptop is shoddy and easily damaged, no wonder they don't want people to have the schematics, they probably make more in repairs than from selling their rubbish goods.
nopeWhole wheat pizza dough recipe?
Has any one got any really good recipe for a whole-wheat pizza dough/base? We love pizza in my house but I'm loathe to feed everyone shop-bought stuff because you just don't know how old everything is before it even gets to the pizza, let alone my trolley.
I'm going to make batches and freeze them. Metric measurement preferred if possible. Thanks!
Not sure if this is what you want, but I use the same dough as I use when I make bread, then add some olive oil.
I use about 25 g fresh yeast to 1k wholemeal flour.
About 1 lt warm water
1 tsp salt or according to taste
With dried yeast I think it's a tbsp.
You may need more water, you want to end up with a dough that is light and spongy, but not too wet.
Cream the yeast with a tsp sugar, add .500 lt warm water, when frothy, add half the flour, then leave to rise.
Add remaining flour, salt, mix well and leave to rise again.
Turn out on to floured board, add olive oil if liked, and kneed well.
Divide into pieces according to the size of pizza you want, roll or pat out into flat rounds and freeze uncooked.
When you take one out of the freezer, it should thaw and rise while the oven is heating up, and you are preparing the topping.
You can of course, freeze after cooking the complete pizza.
Hope this isn't too vague, but I've been making bread and pizza for - well, more years than I'm prepared to admit to.
I would say that buy to let is ok for those whom wish to sink a large pot of lute in to some or one property and get a return back over the years and may be leave it to a family member when there time is up in other words drops dead.
Still at the end of the day it is a lot of money to fork out but hey if you are in a position to do that then yeah why not go for it as if you have a decant property to let out and of course it is looked after then it should serv you well.
Fred
I think you will have to take a good look at the market and see what is for sale and what sort of area you wish to buy in and hope to get a return on your investment.
You may get a house for a good price and only spend a 10K on it to make it right and get a good rent back. This is one area you really need to look in to every agnle before buying it then may be double checking it.
Alexender
Of course buy-to-let is not right for everyone or everyone would be doing it.
There will be those whom just can manage a property to buy and let it out and those who will be able to buy several properties that they can let out so truth be said no it is not the right thing for everyone.
