In your wildest dreams would you think that a woman could be thrown off a bus because her cleavage was distracting the driver. Well, look here. I wonder how many men click the link on the bottom right?

James and Pauline arrived today to finalise things for their wedding in September. That means that muggins here will be very busy driving here there and everywhere sorting out knives and forks, blood tests, refrigerated lorries and other mind boggling minutiae. Mind you, a nice lunch at Le Ciel de Nîmes is planned for tomorrow, so it's not all bad.

Bryan, who I don't think is Welsh, sent me this under the heading "Never forget you are Welsh."
A farmer was out on his Welsh hillside tending his flock one day, when he saw a man drinking with a cupped hand from the stream which ran down from one of his fields. Realising the danger, he shouted over to the man,
"Paid a yfed y dwr! Mae'n ych-y-fi!" (Don't drink the water. It's disgusting!)
The man at the stream lifted his head and put a cupped hand to his ear, shrugged his shoulders at the farmer, and carried on drinking. Realising the man at the stream couldn't hear him, the farmer moved closer.
"Paid a yfed! Dwr ych-y-fi! Defaid yn cachu yn y dwr!" (Don't drink. Water's disgusting. Sheep crap in the water.)
Still the walker couldn't hear the farmer. So finally the farmer walked right up to the man at the stream and once again said,
"Dwr yn ych-y-fi! Paid a'i yfed!". (Water's disgusting. Don't drink it!)
" I'm dreadfully sorry my good man, I couldn't understand a word you said dear boy! Can't you speak English???" said the man at the stream in a fine English accent.
"Oh I see" said the farmer. "I was just saying, that if you use both hands you can get more in..."
