Why did I just think of Barney the dinosaur?

That's me with an earworm for the rest of the day, thanks.

Many years ago, my boy got a robotic Barney for his Christmas......

It sang and danced to a heap of Barney crap, including "Head and shoulders, knees and toes" and one about "Do your ears hang low?"

My old dear and I looked at each other on Xmas morning when he started that one....
"Did that thing just sing what I thought it did?"
Yep, mum but it would be easier for the continetal soldier to throw ears over his shoulder opposed to what is going through your head right now.....,

Evil, Evil, little toy, Don't know how the 4 year old managed to put it through a hot wash with a fast spin cycle.....
"Daddy, Barney isn't playing peekaboo anymore"
Heh, Heh........

You always remember the first time to walk into a loo and it's a porcelain 'hole in the ground' :log

After ensuring it isn't a shower and there isn't a 'normal' bog nearbye, 5 mins of careful 'positioning' and wishing like f*ck someone had installed handholds....

....you are still paranoid some item of clothing has been cr*pped in :log

Looking up a post code on Google maps, use the memory to head in that direction, only to find you end up miles from the intended destination :angryfire

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&sourc ... 15398&z=13

Point A is the Google map location for PH22 1QU

Point B is the location of Rothiemurchus camp site, my actual destination the other day

What makes it worse, is that you can see the Rothiemurchus camp site from the junction from Nethy Bridge :oops

I was needing to go whilst layed up in hospital after smashing my ankle up last Xmas. This is exactly what the nurse wheeled me to. Squatting on one leg is hard enough.

Needless to say the nurse received a bit of verbal before he wheeled me along to a more comfortable s(h)itter.

What I really really hate, is when the police tells bikers to take extra care on the roads

Car drivers cocooned in their mobile entertainment cages are the ones that need to take care what they are doing :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire

Mobile entertainment cages????

Is that like a charabang type thing bristling with radios, CD players, TVs in the dash and such?

Don't know anyone who would have such a creation.

What say you Mr. Povic???

how could you not mention the satnav and the mobile telecommunication device :angryfire

And those loving taxi drivers writing on their notepad (suctioned on to the windscreen) while on the phone and still driving, well when I say driving, more like weaving all over the place :angryfire

My TV in the dashboard of the car will only work when the vehicle is stationary. As soon as you put it into gear, the screen goes off, so theres no problem there.

It is handy though, for when your waiting for someone, and you just need to watch Jeremy Kyle or Bargain Hunt. :biggrin2

If I put the car into neutral, then yes. Not that I would though. The TV was in the car when I bought it, and its built into the sat-nav. The car is an ex-demonstrator, so has all the toys. :2up

I am not getting at you, just thinking of the possibility of entertainment cage drivers sitting at traffic lights, or other queue locations, too busy watching the TV to be concentrating on the traffic, in any direction :nono


Truly frightening :jawdrop

And the loving government want to introduce speed limiters, satellite tracking and other big brother equipment, but allow TV’s to be fitted where the driver can see them :disbelief

Truly frightening


:disbelief :disbelief :disbelief
