26 June 2011 – Amusements

Oops! I forgot to say last time that there would be no News this weekend. We are off to the south coast to visit with our friends Sue and Stuart and to participate in the celebrations associated with Stuart’s 60th birthday. Apologies for that and I’ll bring you a full account next weekend.

I’m afraid you’ll have to be satisfied with (a) a photo of a poppy at Edgecote and (b) a couple of feeble “amusements.”

Another of those pesky technical support issues:

Tech Support: “I need you to right-click on the Open Desktop.”

Customer: “Ok.”

Tech Support: “Did you get a pop-up menu?”

Customer: “No.”

Tech Support: “Ok. Right click again. Do you see a pop-up menu?”

Customer: “No.”

Tech Support: “Ok, sir. Can you tell me what you have done up until this point?”

Customer: “Sure, you told me to write ‘click’ and I wrote click’.”


Three women friends, one in a casual relationship, one engaged to be married and one a long-time wife, met for drinks after work. The conversation eventually drifted towards how best to spice up their sex lives.

After much discussion, they decided to surprise their men by engaging in some S&M role playing.

The following week they met up again to compare notes. Sipping her drink, the single girl leered and said, “Last Friday at the end of the work day I went to my boyfriend’s office wearing a leather coat. When all the other people had left, I slipped out of it and all I had on was a leather bodice, black stockings and stiletto heels. He was so aroused that we made mad passionate love on his desk right then and there!”

The engaged woman giggled and said, “That’s pretty much my story! When my fiancé got home last Friday, he found me waiting for him in a black mask, leather bodice, black hose and stiletto pumps. He was so turned on that we not only had sex all night, he wants to move up our wedding date!

The married woman put her glass down and said, “I did a lot of planning. I made arrangements for the kids to stay over at Grandma’s. I took a long scented-oil bath and then put on my best perfume. I slipped into a tight leather bodice, a black garter belt, black stockings and six-inch stilettos. I finished it off with a black mask. When my husband got home from work, he grabbed a beer and the remote, sat down and yelled, ‘Hey, Batman, what’s for dinner?'”


We’ve had it before but who remembers these things?

A young man at his first job as a waiter in a diner has a large trucker sit down at the counter and order, “Gimme three flat tires and a couple of headlights.”

Bewildered he goes to the kitchen and tells the cook, “I think this guy’s in the wrong store, look at what he ordered!”

The cook says, “He wants three pancakes and two eggs sunny-side up.”

The waiter takes a bowl of beans to the trucker. He looks at it and growls, “What’s this? I didn’t order this!”

The waiter tells him, “The cook says that while you’re waiting for your car parts you might as well gas up!”

SwallowsYou’ll be pleased to hear that our swallows are doing well. The first batch has just fledged and are flying in and out of the garage like kids playing tag in the park, quickly and noisily. I think there are four chicks, all of whom look very fit and healthy. The next batch won’t be too far behind.

The only problem is that they have erected their apartment in the apex of the garage roof, immediately above my bike. The weather hasn’t been conducive to too many long bike rides recently (that’s my excuse, anyway), and in its state of immobility, my bike’s front tyre is now encrusted to a considerable depth with swallow poo. I’ll have to move it (and get back out on the road again). Continue reading “19 June 2011”

12 June 2011

Good morning to you all. Yesterday was a glorious sunny day – I wonder what today will bring? The forecast is for heavy rain which probably means we can look forward to a splendid barbeque this evening.

The big news this weekend is the successful conclusion of a significant surgical procedure for one of our occasional readers. After struggling with debilitating pain in one of her hips for some weeks, Pen’s mum Beryl had a hip replacement done on Thursday which seems to have gone well. By Friday morning she was apparently back to her daily calisthenics regime consisting of jumping jacks, sit-ups, squats and lunges. She’ll be in for a few more days and then will come to us for a recuperation period as their cottage is riddled with steps and steep stairs everywhere one turns. Perfect for an elderly couple!

It just hit me:

My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day.

He has his food prepared for him.

He can eat whenever he wants, 24/7/365.

His meals are provided at no cost to him.

He visits the doctor once a year for his check-up, and again during the year if any medical needs arise.

For all this he pays nothing, and nothing is required of him.

He lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep. If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up for him.

He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep.

He is living like a King, and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever.

All of his costs are picked up by others who go out and earn a living every day.

I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me:

My dog is a politician! Continue reading “12 June 2011 – Amusements”

Good morning and welcome to another edition of the Befouled Weakly News

After many, many years of non-interest in the proposition, I finally started recently to investigate the potential of becoming a citizen of the UK. You can tell that I tend to do things very quickly when I get motivated! It’s only been about thirty-six years since I first acquired the right to reside here permanently which has served me admirably well all this time. However, the incident which finally stirred me to action was waiting in an airport immigration queue with all the other dregs for about an hour while UK and European Community citizens breezed through by waving their passports in front of a very bored immigration official. That was two years ago when we came back from France so, again, you can see I’m right on top of this! Continue reading “5 June 2011”

5 June 2011 – Amusements

It’s the year 2070, and NASA finally manages to get a manned mission to Jupiter. While surveying the moons, they find evidence of life on the moon Europa and land to make First Contact.

Sure enough, there’s a race of advanced beings there, and the two groups exchange huge amounts of information. Inevitably, the questions turn to sex.

“How do you reproduce?” one of the NASA astronauts asks.

The Europans are pleased to demonstrate. Two of them get together and touch tentacles in a special way. A moment later a sac appears on one of them, grows to the size of a basketball, and breaks open. A tiny tentacled baby pops out and falls to the ground, jumps up, and starts running around looking for its first meal.

“Amazing!” exclaim the Earthlings.

“So will you give us a demonstration of how you do it?” ask the aliens.

The Earthlings can hardly refuse, so the commander asks for volunteers and a couple steps forward and demonstrates Earthly delights. The Europans are rapt with interested attention.

When the couple finishes, however, the aliens are confused. “Where is the child?” they ask. “Or was the mating a failure?”

“Well,” says the commander, “we don’t find out right away. If it was successful, it takes a month or two to find out, and the baby doesn’t show up for nine months after conception.”

“Nine months?” asks the incredulous alien leader. “Then why were they in such a hurry at the end?” Continue reading “5 June 2011 – Amusements”
