Well, let's see what the day holds.

IRISH DIET

An Irishman was terribly overweight, so his doctor put him on a diet.

'I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day, then eat regularly again for 2 days then skip a day.
Repeat this procedure for 2 weeks. The next time I see you, you should have lost at least 5 pounds.'

When the Irishman returned, he shocked the doctor by having lost nearly
60lbs!

'Why, that's amazing!' the doctor said, 'Did you follow my instructions?'

The Irishman nodded. 'I'll tell you though, by jaesuz, I t'aut I were going to drop dead on dat 3rd day.'

'From the hunger, you mean?' asked the doctor.

'No, from the feckin skipping'.

Nice one Jonesey !! :-D

Thank gawd I have got on here at last - No broadband today so NO BREAKFAST !!! :-(

I cooked a joint of lamb for lunch and it was SO cheeewweee that I could not eat it so I am starving :-( :-(

Any left overs left from lunch ???

Thank you Sylvia - you have saved my little life !! ;-) <3 <3

While out to dinner last night, I asked the waiter for salt & pepper (there was none on the table)

...............a filthy look appeared on his face and off he went, coming back with the pots, which he almost threw onto the table!

Not content with his little childish display, he came back later just to say 'chef seasons well madam'........then walks orf in a huff!

Chef may indeed 'season' well, but 'chef' was neither eating it, or paying for it....so get your head out of your a#se and deliver what the customer wants


Needless to say, we shall not be going back
