So I saved up for over 3 years to take the wife and my kids (I have four young daughters) to Disney World. I'm there right now. YAY, right?? But some weird Cthulhuesqe WTF IS THIS DISNEY??? Crazy stuff happening thus far: --My oldest seeing a "dead man who fell out of the Rockin' Rollercoaster" just as my 10yo daughter and I were coasting away on said coaster for our ride (she left out the chicken door, dopey attendants forgot that EMTs were working on a guy who had a heart attack before even getting on the ride, but my 12yo's mind went to the worst possible place of course and traumatization ensued) --A ton of rides breaking down all over the place, Space Mountain broke down right before my 10yo and I got on. I can't imagine being stuck on that ride with my 10yo who loves coasters, but has an anxiety disorder, so, yeah, probably dodged a bullet there; --Food poisoning from a Disney restaurant... again the 12yo... nuff said --7yo and 4yo having meltdowns all over... but really, I'm a daddy of four daughters, that stuff, and anything in the realm of "drama" is old hat! --The smoking section being right outside our door, kicking up the 4yo's asthma (hasn't slowed her down though!) --Neighbors in our (budget) Disney hotel having a knock-down drag out fight in the room, and right outside their (and our) door, with their 1yo and 3yo crying away. My wife called security after a couple hours at 2am; she listened because she's a gossip ( ) I had to listen because I'm a social worker who deals with abused kids... but the kids weren't in danger, nor were they the issue, the parents on the other hand... Well, that's the highlights thus far. Next time we have the money for a vacation, it'll be 2 or 3 days, 5 or 6 is way too much! All that aside, honestly it's been a great trip and it's wonderful to be away with the five most important people in the world to me in the (kinda) happiest place on earth. --Ron-- My heartfelt sympathies Ron. Nothing like Mum & Dad having a full blown argument next door

BUT that's all wrong - the first bit not your wife - she's got it right Why do Americans ( and half of me is one) still not realise yet that there are 4 different countries over here - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. You can't lump them all together!! You just can't!! Lassie the dog was Scottish yet in the films everyone spoke with that weird American version of an Irish/Scottish accent that just doesn't exist. My point is why is there an Irish pub in Downton ? Why? It's not your fault Ron I'm addressing my post to Disney and America - in general

Heh. I get ya. I got all excited because they had shepherds pie on the menu. But then the waitress explains it's "deconstructed" - all parts are separated and put into a tower shape. I had the burger The Guiness was good though, they used the "Obama" Guiness pint glasses but that's fine. Had some Guinness the day before in Epcot at the Rose and Thistle pub, which is an Irish/Scottish/English restaurant. Those cups were plastic, , but I could drink it while the kids met Mary Poppins, so again, all good!

Well, nothing major, but still not good at cooking jasmine rice. Need to burn through the big bag of it fast and get back to either basmati or regular long grain brown rice, anything far easier to cook, non-GMO and lowest on arsenic and agrochemical residues. Rice from India preferred, certainly not from China or the USA, as they're either GMO or heavily sprayed. Or Japan. Not up for the type of agrochemicals coming from Fukushima.

Well not pissed off exactly but Darren - see "What Made Your Week" did admit that they'd been told to go out their way for someone of the older generation who might not be so knowledgeable with all the "latest" in mobile phones. Darren "Not that I'm saying your old" Me " But I am old Darren and my older friends admit that they wouldn't dare go to a Carphone Warehouse or Vodaphone shop unless they were accompanied by a youth" Darren - didn't know what to say.

You know what pissed me off this week...everything...just plain everything ( except Minstrel 40) I know I've been a pain. Glad you enjoyed Minstrel 40th. Damn album fits so well, now I have trouble listening to any other music. 5.1 & quad are heaven sent. too much trouble is soothed by too much great music.

.......self service checkout in f**king Tesco. Why does the reduced items sticker never scan on the on the reduced fruit? ...and more importantly why am I (the bloody customer)expected to type in the 25 digit number that I cant read even with my varifocals on. Next time I'm going to raise an invoice for the 10 minutes of my time it took me to get it right and send it to Tesco for payment. After all they are saving on staffing costs asking me to do it. They then they had me for forgetting to put in the 5p charge for the bag. As if I would try and steal a f**king plastic bag..W*****s They already have my business for the telephone,car insurance,diesel,food,house insurance,lottery tickets and almost everthing else. Pissed Off. Ps. I have just read this back to myself and think I need a holiday

Btw I'm glad another Tull person has to use their glasses to read the small print. Strange that the following should turn up on the BBC news page today: Just who exactly is going to the Bilderberg meeting?www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-33067655I worked with an Australian guy many years ago who was convinced that there is "A New World Order" which influences governments worldwide and makes all the big decisions which effect us. He joined a pressure group, in pre-internet days, and he was convinced that he and others were being monitored. Whether he was correct or not, reading about the Bilderberg group certainly makes you wonder. Why do they have to meet with such secret agendas ?

A neighbour continued mowing her lawn as the country fell silent in memory of those who lost there lives in Tunisia. I hope her lawnmower breaks!

Quick update from South Wales......
Returned from Majorca where I lost over a stone in weight, I'm too old to Rock and Roll with the yoofs!
Came home and have had shoulder surgery, so in f**king pain and the painkillers are tripping my head off. Got to fly just spotted a Goblin in the garden.
Be in touch

Was it an emergency op or have you been waiting ? Mighty painful by the sound of it but don't worry it'll pass and you'll be flying about the place in no time. Mind you it sounds like your flying at the moment. Chin up Duckie and rest those feathers for a while and enjoy the ride in your head. They say that you can come up with all sorts of theories when your high on prescription drugs so do share some of the good ones! Love thesympatheticrabbit
