Monday Manic Moments (Beer)
Beer contains female hormones!
Yes, that's right, FEMALE hormones!
Last month, scientists at Montreal University released the results of their recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer.
Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption.
The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain Phytoestrogens) and that by drinking enough beer, men turn into women.
To test the theory, 100 men each drank 8 pints of beer within a one hour period.
It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects, yes, 100% - of all these men:
1) Argued over nothing.
2) Refused to apologise when obviously wrong.
3) Gained weight.
4) Talked excessively without making sense.
5) Became overly emotional
6) Couldn't drive.
7) Failed to think rationally, and
8) Had to sit down while urinating.
No further testing was considered necessary!!

Sunday Story Time Part 20
The story starts here
The evening wears on and soon, we have to make tracks. Kapil heads off to get his cab. We offer to pay for the evening’s food and drinks but Sunni will have none of it. “What I have seen tonight is payment enough. Thank you my friends.” We hug each other as we bid farewell. Just as we are about to leave a voice cries out.
“Steve, Steve.” It is Shallini. She comes running out and hugs me then quickly disappears from sight.
“Like I said my friends, I am truly blessed.” Sunni clasps his hands together.
“Yeah right Sunni! Blessed that Kev or rather Kevin here did not get drunk.”
Once again, laughter fills the air as Kapil’s cab pulls up and we head off back to the hotel.
“You know Steve you have the charm of a serpent.” Kapil remarks.
Kev and I look at each and laugh. “That’s why he is known as Whitesnake on the net.”Kev answers back.
We invite Kapil up for some drinks but he declines. “Kev has my number should you require a cab.”
Kapil bids us goodnight and drives off.
As is our want, we head off to the bar. Order some drinks and park our butts down. Our banter is mainly about how the night went.
“You surprised me tonight mate.” Kev stretch’s out. “You did really well with that kid. Sunni tells me she is coming along ever so slowly. Until tonight. He has never her seen her interact with another like she did with you.”
“It’s all good Mate! Cheers, ears and the dears.” Clink go the glasses as we toast a wonderful evening at Sunni’s Bar.
I struggle out of bed not even looking at the clock. Put the kettle on and make myself a cup of tea. I eventually glance over at the clock. It is five am. My brain kicks in. Nine am in Australia. Bugga not much of a sleep in. Just cannot get use to the time differences. Oh well I think not to worry another day another dollar. At least I do not have to work. I do what needs to be done on the net. Pay bills, pay off what we have spent on the Credit cards, type in the journal and check and reply to emails then close the laptop down. Outside on the balcony of the room I sit in my silk boxers and light up a smoke. I start thinking about Chetna. I should call but I know she will be getting up for work around this time. It can wait until this afternoon.
I wonder what Kev is up to? Bugga it! I am back off to bed.
I wake up again around eleven am feeling slightly more refreshed. I head off for a shower and a shave.
All fixed up. Fresh and perky I get dressed. Pair of shorts a tee shirt and some sandals. I ring Kev’s room.
“Morning Kev. How did you scrub up?”
“Fine mate, what do you want to do today? Thought we might go see a few sights.” Kev sounds completely his normal self.
“Nah mate. The tourist thing is not my cup of tea mate. You go if you want. Take the camera and we can check out the pics later.” I feel a little bit disappointed in myself. Kev likes seeing all the sights where as I would rather sit with the locals and talk.
“Steve, it is OK mate. I know you are not a tourist type person.” He laughs. “I’ll pop by your room when I’m heading off Ok.”
“No worries mate, catch ya later.” I hang up the phone.

Saturdays Layback
A man goes into a book shop and asks the young lady assistant,
"Do you have the new book out for men with short penises? I can't remember the title."
She replies, "I'm not sure if it's in yet."
The man said, "Yeah - that's the one, I'll take a copy."
Enough!
This week may have had a down side but the upside is that I have had the love and support of KB and also have 3 days off with her which is much needed,
Let us start with last weeks walkabout which did both of us the world of good and we did learn that Coco could have come with us so maybe net time we will take her that is if the dog of eternal stench will get out of her bed for a trip.
My beloved wife to be has started up or rather joined another craze called Tuesdays Teasers which is about something but it is way to intelligent for me to grasp. Of course Simply Delish has once more delivered a wonderfully simple recipe a pasta and bean salad that really should keep ya'll healthy!
I certianly do recommend that you take a peek at Spreading the Love some challenge KB has found and as usual has a meaningful and positive message that we all should share.
Last weeks Sunday Story time is entering the final stages and I have decided to continue the sunday theme with another story I am writing but have not finish. Thus keeping me busy.
My Monday Manic Moments is proving quite a page view hit which is quite surprising because usually the content is just a whinge and a moan about something or some one.
The Carry on Tuesday theme once more carried on with my take on Cecil whats his name with so little to do.
I am really enjoying finding pearls of Wisdom on Wednesdays and the Tuesday Twosomes are getting a wee bit tougher but that's what it is all about isn't it?
Tantalising dishes and stuff for the veggie munchers like what's with the meat keeps me in the masterchef groove.
So, right now it is beer o'clock and I have a loving woman who requires my company and I do not want to waste a single moment.
Enjoy ya weekend
Whitesnakes do it better ......... when you ignore two blind monkeys and one lame duck!

It is always good to start the day with a smile aye?
The week just gone has been a some what tough one as there have been a few differences of opinion at work. So now the fantastic job I thought was good, turns out to be not so fantastic. Time to move on.
I thought about sharing the experience, however what exactly would I get out of it? What benefit on a positive side would I achieve by sharing and would it be a forward step or would it be just the ramblings of a disillusioned man who feels targeted for something but no-one knows why?

"If the music doesn't whisper in your ear and help you to create your own images,then it has failed..."
Jon Lord
"What gives him the right to do that? ... I ask myself if musicians should conduct themselves like politicians. They are only musicians. Where do they get the right to talk like that?"
"What's the point of re-releasing an album? The original sounded good, why change something about it?"
Ritchie Blackmore
"I've been imitated so well I've heard people copy my mistakes."
Jimi Hendrix
"People call it heavy metal. Deep Purple don't do heavy metal they play hard/classic rock and man there is a big difference. Trouble is that ain't popular with the record companies so no air play time for you!"
Steve Boddey

Eric Clapton
"Unfortunately, what they're playing on the radio now is not really fair to a lot of great musicians that are out there struggling to be heard."
