HELPING OTHERS


By helping others we can all benefit ourselves. Here are some tips that will help others.
1 Take a handful of tissues with you when you go out. If you sneeze you are prepared to cover your face to stop any infection spreading. Wash your hands as soon as you can, and always after a visit to the toilet.
2 Get up in the morning five minutes early so that you are not rushing. Driving to work in a hurry can course accidents.
3 Smile at people during the day, you just may make them happy.
4 Be polite and respectful,other people too have feelings.
5 Don't skip on breakfast, it is the most important meal of the day.
6 Don't drop litter on the floor, take it home with you. Someone else will have to pick it up.
7 Think positive thoughts to yourself, if you think positive you will be positive.
8 Think of some nice treat you can give to your loved one. Buy them a gift, or organise a night out.

Deadly spider in Britain


A deadly spider related to the Black Widow is spreading across Britain because of climate change, experts have warned.

The False Widow, a purple and black creature with a body the size of a 1p piece, is said to carry enough venom to kill a human.
Since arriving in Devon from the Canary Islands, the spider has established colonies in Devon, Dorset and Cornwall.
The spiders do not usually survive in colder parts of the UK, but a series of mild winters have led them to migrate to other areas.Spider recorder David Haigh, of Cheltenham, has reported sightings of the species in Gloucestershire and Wiltshire.
One was in a shed in Tewkesbury and the other was spotted in Longney, he said.
The False Widow is one of 12 arachnid species known to bite humans in the UK.
In January, Lyn Mitchell became critically ill after she was bitten by one of the creatures while in bed at her home in Egremont, west Cumbria.
Ms Mitchell, 52, suffered a serious allergic reaction to the bite and was rushed to hospital.
"I jumped out of bed, pulled the duvet and sheets back and saw a spider running over the other side," she said at the time.
"It was only tiny, black and shiny, and it ran so quickly.
"When I looked down I noticed two little pin marks on my chest."
The False Widow first started to arrive in banana shipments from the Spanish islands about 140 years ago.
Its bite is not deadly but can cause swelling and severe pain.
Oh I hate spiders, Ill never sleep!!

Our changing world




Hi iv just been on a social networking site and they all have lollipops. How it works as I understand is, you lick their lolly and they lick on yours. Now it don’t know about you, but it’s been a long time since I had a lollipop so Iv forgot what they are like.
I told Agnus and she said I was a f****** idiot, and I need my f******* head seen to. I don’t think you have met Agnus she is very down to earth and loves life. So anyway I tried to lick this chicks lolly and there was a problem I couldn’t do it, I’ve never had problems licking lolly’s before but I just could not do it, so I suppose I will not get any licks back.
Now on to pinging. What the f*** is pinging? Said Agnus. It’s part of promoting your blog, I said. F*** your pinging, it’s a waste of f****** time. Well Agnus, are you having a nice day?. F*** off, and stick your pinging up your f****** a***. Agnus is such a nice lady, she is the best.

Museum ghost caught on camera


A ghostly image has been snapped at a museum prompting speculation that the spirit of the English scientist Edward Jenner could be haunting his former home.
A photograph seems to have captured a hazy image of a man sitting on a chair in the attic of the Edward Jenner Museum in Berkeley, Gloucestershire.
The picture was taken by BBC photographer Chris Sandys, who said: "I don't believe in ghosts myself, but this is strange."
Mr Sandys, who was taking images for a story on the museum's new Ghosts In The Attic exhibition, added: "As soon as I'd taken a panoramic photo, I reviewed the image on the camera and straight away noticed this strange formation of light, shaped like a figure, through the doorway in the next room.
"Without moving I did a few takes to try and work out what had caused it but couldn't see anything. It was so weird."
Jenner was the pioneer of smallpox vaccination and the father of immunology. He was born in Berkeley in 1749 where he spent most of his career as a doctor in the town before he died in 1823.
Museum director Sarah Parker said: "There have always been stories of ghosts at the Edward Jenner Museum. We usually take them with a large pinch of salt. We are truly flabbergasted by the image.
"You can basically see through a doorway what looks like a figure reclining in a chair, only there is no chair there. Who knows whether it is Jenner himself?
"We have graffiti from soldiers previously billeted in the attic rooms from the late 19th century and perhaps this is one of them or even one of Jenner's servants."

Say Cheese!




A dairy farmer who believes a happy cow is a productive cow has discovered an unusual way to relax his herd and increase milk yields – tai chi. Rob Taverner performs the ancient martial art in front of his 100 cows every morning to get them in the right moo-d to produce lots of milk.
The 44-year-old organic farmer visits the animals at 9am each day to run through his ten-minute routine of slow movements and breathing techniques – dressed in his distinctive overalls and wellies.
He said: 'Tai chi is all about leaving your problems behind and getting into a better zone and my mood definitely transfers to the cows.

'Like all animals, they are very receptive to human emotions and can sense feelings such as relaxation, calmness and happiness.
'Some people think what I do is ridiculous but I have some very content cows and I would do anything to keep them that way. As any good dairy farmer will tell you, a happy cow is a productive cow.'Mr Taverner, who runs the farm near Exeter, Devon, with his 41-year-old wife, Helen, and their children Charlie, 16, William, 14 and 12-year-old Katie, said there were many similarities between tai chi and organic farming.
He added: 'Organic farming, just like tai chi, is all about maintaining a balance.
'Being an organic dairy farmer is hard work and I just want to make sure I am as relaxed and focused as possible. I enjoy it.'
Tai chi is a Chinese martial art involving a series of slow, controlled movements which can help developing strength, balance, posture and a feeling of calm.

So how does he know what the cows are thinking? They might be hoping he will sod off!

The Eurovision Long Contest




It was great to see, and well done to Norway for their song, but oh! doesn't it go on. We knew Norway had won after the first few votes came in. I personally thought the entry from Estonia was the best, it was original, and made me cry, mind you I had just finished a bottle of wine. What about our entry? Well what to you think?

New horse legs for humans




A Seattle designer has come up with the ultimate gadget for people who would like to be taller and more graceful - horse leg extensions.







Kim Graham's Digtiigrade Leg Extensions add 14 inches of height to the wearer - and she claims a number of famously pint-sized actors and performers already have their names on the two-month waiting list.
The fine art sculptor says the steel extensions are much more than just stilts and insists: "They give a person the uncanny and graceful appearance of an animal."
They're made of steel, cable, foam, and rigid plastic - and, according to Ms Graham, take just 10 to 15 minutes to learn to walk in.
They apparently work well on level surfaces, although sharp inclines are difficult and stairs are downright risky.
The legs cost just £500 a pair - or £665 for spring loaded hooves for those requiring a little extra bounce.

Its extra for the arms and head!!!!

Teen paints giant penis on parents’ roof


A teenager who painted a 60ft phallus on the roof of his family’s million-pound mansion got away with the prank for over a year before his parents found out.Student Rory McInnes, 18, climbed onto the flat roof of his parents’ home and daubed the phallic symbol in white paint after watching a TV programme about Google Earth, reports the Daily Telegraph.Rory’s parents, Andy and Clare, didn’t discover their son’s handiwork until a helicopter pilot spotted the oversized organ as he flew over their home near Hungerford, Berkshire.The pilot contacted The Sun who then informed Mr McInnes, who initially thought the he was the victim of a practical joke, reports AFP. He subsequently phoned each of his four children to find the truth.When he spoke to Rory, who is currently in Brazil on a gap year, the teenager simply said “Oh, you’ve found it then”, reports the Telegraph.Luckily, Mr McInnes appeared to take the park in good humour although he told The Sun that “when Rory gets home he will be given a scrubbing brush and white spirit and he can go and scrub it off."The McInnes’ massive rooftop member is an enlarged replica of the most prominent feature of the Cerne Abbas Giant (pictured), an 80ft figure of a naked man carved into the side of a chalk hill in Dorset.

Sainbury's profits are on the up




More than 120,000 Sainsbury's staff will share a £60m bonus pot after profits rocketed to £543m.
The big payout - £13m more than last year - comes after the supermarket announced underlying profits had surged by 11.3% - more than Tesco and Morrisons.
The UK's third biggest supermarket, which is celebrating its 140th anniversary, said like-for-like sales rose 4.5%, excluding fuel, in the year to March 21.
Sainsbury's hailed its ability to appeal to "savvy" shoppers in the recession as it now sees more than 18 million customers pass through checkouts each week.
But chief executive Justin King told Sky News it had been a "very challenging period for the UK retail industry".
He suggested that the country could now be "bouncing along the bottom" in terms of the recession and appeared hopeful for recovery.
Today's profits came in slightly higher than the £526m expected in the market.
While the growth is less than half the 28% surge seen the previous year, it compares well with the 8.8% hike in annual profits seen at market leader Tesco and the 7% rise at Morrisons.
Sainsbury's has been stealing market share from Tesco as value-conscious consumers shop around for the best deal, with the latest TNS Worldpanel data showing Sainsbury's now accounts for 16.3% of the sector.
Its Jamie Oliver-led Feed Your Family For A Fiver campaign has been well received by shoppers, while sales of its basics range have soared - up more than 60% year on year in the final quarter.
Mr King said: "Our universal customer appeal and continued investment in price and quality have been fundamental to our growth, catering for a range of changing customer needs and trends.
"Over the past 12 months consumers have become increasingly 'savvy' and have responded to rises in the cost of living by making significant changes to the mix of products they buy.
"There's one or two companies doing well like us - it might be the that we (the economy) is bouncing along the bottom."
The group's product range has provided customers with the option to "change what they buy, rather than where they shop", he added.

Thousands of bees swarm across park


A swarm of up to 25,000 bees is on the loose in a country park, visitors have been warned.
Visitors to Hartsholme Country Park in Lincoln are being urged to steer clear of the swarm by the city's council.
Norman Staley-Brookes, a specialist in dealing with bees, has now been called in by the authority to help contain them.
A spokeswoman for Lincoln City Council said: "It happens from time to time, especially at this time of year.
"It's a natural occurrence. It happens when a new queen bee develops and the current queen takes her swarm with her to another hive.
"We advise people not to go anywhere near the swarm."


Lets let them loose on the house of commons!!

Minister to repay £41,709 expenses



Minister to repay £41,709 expenses
pa.press.net
Health minister Phil Hope is to hand back £41,709 in taxpayer-funded MPs expenses.
The money was claimed for furniture, fittings and other items for his second home.
"The anger of my constituents and the damage done to perceptions of my integrity concerning the money I have received to make my London accommodation habitable has been a massive blow to me that I cannot allow to continue," he said.
His decision came after it was announced that more than a million expenses claims by MPs over the past four years are to be scrutinised independently in a desperate bid to restore public trust in politics.
Mr Hope, the Labour MP for Corby and East Northants, insisted that all his claims were within Commons rules but that he needed to repay the money "to try to restore the trust and relationships I have with my constituents".


Do these ministers pay for anything? What about toilet rolls? Haircut Sir? and what about Council Tax. He can pay mine if he wants!!!!
