Yet again the time has come to say bye bye to our seafaring chum so I thought I'd post an appropriate quote or two
Never go into strange places on a falling tide without a pilot.
~Thomas Gibson Bowles
It was with a happy heart that the good odysseus spread his sail to catch the wind and used his seamanship to keep his boat straight with the steering-oar
~Homer
Take care Giz see you soon
p.s. if anyone can think of a good microbiology quote feel free (don't Bacilli etc )

Two bacteria walk into a bar. The bartender says, 'Get out we don't serve any bacterial drinks here". The bacteria say...

'Hey we work here, we're the Staph"

Andy

Not quotes but cheesy jokes for Nicky...

Support bacteria, it's the only culture some people have. :-)

Nicky

Thank you Andy and Why did the bacteria cross the microscope -
to get to the other slide :-)

Nicky
15/4/2014 01:00:18 pm

Why do bacteria like nitrates so much?

They're cheaper than day rates.

Has anyone noticed that the week or so prior to a Chum Saturday, some TV celebrity/film star or well known person pops their clogs?

I seem to recall raising a glass to the likes of Lewis Collins in The Napper for example.

This week (so far) it's Mickey Rooney and Peaches Geldof.

I think it's just that we are getting older and our peers and heroes are popping off more annd more. Still it is sad about Sue I read the diary about 16 years old and remember cringing about some of the things he said and realising I had said them too:)

Another great Englishman...actually I think he was Irish.

His older brother wasa bit of a character too. He was Viceroy of India and decided he needed a new residence so spent a fortune building one then told the Government how much it cost. As it was already built they had to cough up the money.

For the film buffs among us....

In the Matrix trilogy, many vehicle plates are shorthand references to religious scriptures. At the beginning of Reloaded, Agent Smith’s license plate reads “IS5416” which is Isaiah 54:16 “Behold, I have created the smith, who blows the fire of coals, and produces a weapon for its purpose. I have also created the ravager to destroy.”

Also in the highway chase, Trinity’s Cadillac plate is “DA203” which is Daniel 2:03 “He said to them, ‘I have had a dream that troubles me and I want to know what it means.’”

Ewan

Sorry to dissapoint but still no sign.

Cheryl had high blood pressure and low platelets today so spent a few hours in Hospital being monitored. She has been given an induce date but it is not 'til the 4th June!! so unless it happens naturally those with dates round D-day will be 'pennies' in.

If it is the 6th that will give Ewan a hard decision as to which world shattering event to put up as his What Happened in History:)

Yes a roll over....but that doesn't mean everyone has to wait another 9 months+. I meant just allow people to draw again, or better still just decide a number of days, and slide everyones dates forward by that number.

Wolfenstein getting good. Now in an alternative future 1960 where Der Käfer (the Beetles) are topping the hit parade with Patriotic Fascist songs.

Lovely idea Ewan, thanks.

Back home counting the contractions. If they get regular enough it's back to the hospital, if not to the hospital tomorrow morning to have the waters broken.

Annoyingly when we went today we were given 'the best room in the house' (Room 9) looked like a room from the Newcastle RVI.

Being sent home means we will probably not get it again:(

A big thanks to everyone who has sent texts, called and facebooked us with well wishes.

Stay tuned for news as it happens...

Andy

Firstly, I must say this......."Yaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy"

Although I'm guilty of not being a regular, it does, as has been already mentioned, keep it more personal than FB.

Depends on your workload in the coming days, months, years mate.

Some of you already know but this year has some BIG birthdays coming up and to celebrate there will once again be a Chumley party in a back yard near you. I know you'd all rather be somewhere exotic with sand and sunshine so I've decided to invite the sun to us. The theme this year is holiday gear so fish out the Hawaiian shirts n shorts and join me for what should be a totally tropical and hopefully dry night. Chum Chum Chum etc.....
