Don't you worry my dear, have this comfy seat and I'll make you a nice cup of tea, how does that sound? We all get a bit muddled some days..........Tongue LOLLOLLOLLOL


Is it any bloody surprise I'm getting muddled? Stock markets going up & down like welts on Max Mosely's bum, banks going down like a chavette on overtime, 24 degree temperatures on a sunny mid October weekend and two shed denizens admitting publicly they watch Crimewatch!

The world's gone mad, I tells ya!

Yes please Rachel, a nice cup of tea would be lovely - any chance of a biccie (or a slice or lardy cake...) too?

Why the hell not - can't be much worse than our current leadership options.  Ouch

Bring barrels of ale this time instead of tea, though - promise we won't throw 'em overboard.  Wink

Woo hoo. Now we have a great excuse to waste time in The Shed
 
 

Internet use 'good for the brain'

 
 

For middle aged and older people at least, using the internet helps boost brain power, research suggests.

A University of California Los Angeles team found searching the web stimulates centres in the brain that control decision-making and complex reasoning.

The researchers say this might even help to counter-act the age-related physiological changes than cause the brain to slow down

 

so spending more time in The Shed will stop my brain slowing down and....
 
sorry, what was I saying again?

Yes, was that really the best analogy for the stock markets you could come up with Jim?  Confused

"chavette" may be an English thing (actually I suspect Jim just made it up) but surely Max Mosely is an international figure?
All this is just an indication of how Jim's mind works.Smile
