A young woman, down on her luck, decided to end it all one night by casting herself into the cold, dark waters of Liverpool Harbour. As she stood on the edge of the dock, pondering the infinite, a young sailor noticed her as he strolled by. "You're not thinking of jumping, are you?" he asked. "Yes, I am." replied the sobbing girl. Putting his arm around her, the kind sailor coaxed her back from the edge. "Look, nothing's worth that. I'll tell you what, I'm sailing off for America tomorrow. Why don't you stow away on board and start a new life over there? I'll set you up in one of the lifeboats on the deck, bring you food and water every night, and I'll look after you if you look after me."
The girl, having no better prospects, agreed and the sailor snuck her on board that night. For the next 3 weeks the sailor would come to her lifeboat every night, bringing food and water, and making love to her until dawn. Then, during the fourth week, the captain was performing a routine inspection of the ship and it's lifeboats. He peeled back the cover to find the startled young blonde woman, and demanded an explanation.
The young woman came clean, "I've stowed away to get to America. One of the sailors is helping me out, he set me up in here and brings me food and water every night ... and he's screwing me."
The puzzled captain stared at her for a moment before a grin cracked his face and he replied. "He certainly is, this is the Birkenhead Ferry!"
Oh that made me laugh WWitch! Sax - yeah, you're right about the Siameses.. I've just asked them and they looked at me & said, 'Tea..what's tea??'. Hopeless!
Feeling cr*p after a tough weekend of running so ended up dumping my sandwiches at lunchtime and braving the canteen instead... cottage pie & greenbeans followed by a double decker later I am feeling almost normal again!!!
*knock knock* Would I find Benz here? Benzie - do you often frequent Morden park in Surrey with a can of spray paint? Was running round it yesterday in a race and was kept amused by a tree - which I had to pass 4 times - which had BENZ sprayed on it in large silver letters. You hooligan, you.
im rambling round the threads in a bit of a post weekend stupour posting somewhat incomprehensible messages whilst drinking tea - milk and sugar Michelle ? - and wondering what i can eat next as i have nothing remotely massively carby to eat -it could be a bunch of bananas as thats the most decadent thing ive got in and i really cant be bothered to go to the shops !! toasted teacakes would be soooo nice!! and ive got the fire and central heating on as im freeeee-zzzzzzing!!
I would have to change my bank if this happened to me.
While in line at the bank one afternoon, my toddler decided to release some pent-up energy and ran amok. I was finally able to grab hold of her after receiving looks of disgust and annoyance from other patrons. I told her that if she did not start behaving "right now" she would be punished. To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice just as threatening, "If you don't let me go right now, I will tell Grandma that I saw you kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!" The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange. Even the tellers stopped what they were doing. I mustered up the last of my dignity and walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow. The last thing I heard when the door closed behind me were screams of laughter.
Actually Benz was only about a mile from Morden Park yesterday - at Josie's which is just down the road. I must go and have a look at that too as it's only about five miles from me.
I've had to make the tea myself in the end Bune! I have nothing to eat in the house either and am too exhausted/achey/tired to go to the shops. Didn't get home from holiday till Saturday afternoon - then went straight to London for Moonwalk. Got home in the early hours of this morning after Tom Jones concert (the Mr. has gone to Scotland for a golfing holiday.. like he needed another holiday didn't he??!!!), so I'm left on my lonesome with the two nutty Siameses in a house with no food.. Wonder if I ring up Social Services, they'll send round a Meals-on-Wheels???
