Docklands

Todays photo has nothing to do with the story, sorry about that but as before I find it very difficult to come up with a blip while on a regular work/gym day.

This morning, I was getting in the shower and a massive spider was crawling about ,I was running a bit late so I just stuck a plastic cup the bairn had been playing with over the top of it.

Got to work and spent some time with the ever amicable CJ the DJ who kept me amused through most of the morning. He told me that Billy Connoly told him that during the chicago prohibition time that Al Capone donated nearly a million quid to provide children milk. However, as he didnt want them to experience drinking sour milk, he invented sell by dates on the bottom. Before I spread this about can anybody confirm this ? Or was the ginger ninja pulling my pudding. Sorry Cj, I meant strawberry blonde.

Also, entered a spin cycle competition at work today and I have great pleasure in saying that I ended up tie-ing with two others for first place. I was bleeding from the eye balls and ready to collapse afterwards, but I am fairly satisfied with this result.

Did my good deed for today and rescued my mate John with the jump leads.

Finally got home to the sinking feeling that I had forgot to remove the green cup from on top of the spider, therefore one of my women folk who are petrified of spiders would have had to dispose of the said arachnid, so I may well be in trouble later.

Abbie (teenager) comes in an anounced to john, dad and I that all men are weird. She then goes on to say that she thinks she is psychic. Pot Kettle ????

She says that a man in the street spat, and she thought to herself your mingin, but he turns around and looks at her funny like he knew what she was thinking. Then she follows him a little way down the street and uses the power of her mind to make him turn around again.

Anyways, she goes on to tell me that she has "powers" Dont worry baby, I wont tell anybody.

I cant help thinking of that bit right at the start of ghostbuster when venkman is electrocuting the man doing the physco test and telling the good looking girl that she is getting them right when actually she is making a james of it.

Having said that I experienced a couple of days ago that I conduct electricity very well and may well be one of the next generation of X-men, so it isnt unconceivable that perhaps my good looking child is more gifted than average.
