Only once, when young, sneaked home early hours of the morning, just about to take my clothes off and mum walks in my room, started to put my clothes back on "morning mum you up early too?"

an employee once told us he didn't turn up for work the previous day as his dad was rushed into hospital and was in intensive care.

we later found out he was sleeping with his brothers wife, and not at the hospital at all.

lost his brother, lost his job but his dad was fine.

the sh-- hit the fan in a big way.

The best excuse I ever heard was the little boy who was late for school.

"My dad got burned" he claimed.

"Oh dear, was it bad?" asked the teacher.

"Yes" replied the boy, "they don't mess about at the crematorium."

My son was travelling back from London to Newcastle so I asked him to give me a ring on his mobile when the train reached Durham so that I could set off from home to meet him at the station in Newcastle.

When he rang he was already in Newcastle & when I asked him why he hadn't rang from Durham as arranged his reply was that the train hadn't stopped in Durham!!!!!

Once read a man was stopped by police for speeding,his excuse was that he was very low on petrol,so wanted to find a petrol station before he ran out.

Travelling in Peru.



About 3pm in hotel in Arequipa our tour manager told everyone they had to have their luggage ready to be collected in 15 minutes cos the flight we were going on next morning was too small for all passengers and luggage. So in it all went including still damp washing!



So 30 of us left with a change of clothes. Went out to dinner and on arrival back at hotel boss lady was there with a glum look - "sorry folks, morning flight is cancelled"! To add to the insult they could not tell us until following lunchtime when we were flying out. Which turned out to be mid afternoon.





The pleasures of travelling.

"Where on earth did the Elephant come from Groucho?"



Where do you think? Out of nowhere.... otherwise I'd have never let it stand on my foot... clever buggers those Elephants....



My mum just helped herself to another glass of Peter Dominic's worst red and smiled...



A vivid imagination is not always a good thing....
