A new Trainee in Town

Which country?

His name is "Mosquito Panchkulius", staying with us for 3 months (just Monsoon time) and coming from "Bugland"(not England)
Last night Jean and I had the opportunity to share 5 hours with him while we were sleeping in Ryan's house...as a result, today we have our bodies covered in bites, plus Jean got both eyes totally red and swelled.

We hope not to see Mosquito Panchkulius again and also we hope he'll leave to Bugland soon.

I just couldn't resist this – I don't get to see this episode of The Simpsons with Ricky Gervais (from the Office) so instead I have to read about it and imagine it in my head, which, by the way is nowhere near as funny!

Here's Charles Heathbar's (Gervias) attempt to woo Marge on a Wife Swap style program -
Lady when you came to me
I was feeling blue
Blue just like your hair you see
Blue just like the moon
But only when the moon is blue
And not when it is cream
And now that you are here with me
I am in a dream
Oh yeah Marge, your dreams can come true
Lady when you go away
I feel like I could die
Not like dye like your hair is dyed
But die like Lady Di
And not like Di like her name is Di
But die like when she died
[takes swig from a bottle of vermouth
But lady just like Lady Di
Be my princess tonight
But don't die
Don't die, nooowee

Works for me! If you wanna know more about it you can read it here.

Drunk Dogs

I just read this from Yahoo

Four out of 10 dog owners have fed their pets chocolate which could kill them, while a quarter of vets have treated animals that have been given alcohol.
During the past 12 months 87% of vets said they had seen an increase in the number of cats and dogs needing treatment after being given food intended for human consumption, according to Halifax Pet Insurance.
A third of vets said chocolate and sugary snacks were the biggest culprits, while a quarter blamed the problems on left-overs being fed to pets and 17% attributed them to dairy products. One in four vets said they had had to treat animals who had been given alcohol, which can make them unpredictable and violent.

i'm really quite bored!

Aomori Bank

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Aomori Bank (青森銀行 in Japanese) is a Japanese bank that is headquartered in Aomori City, Aomori Prefecture, in the Tohoku Region. Aomori Bank has cooperated with several other banks in the region to create a no-fee ATM network. However, this network has declined recently because one of the participant banks, the Michinoku Bank left the network in July, 2005.

History
The first forerunner to what would later become the Aomori Bank was The 59 Bank, established on January 20, 1879 in Hirosaki City, Aomori prefecture. The custom of giving banks numbers is typical of the Meiji era in Japan, though a few such banks with such names have endured, such as The 77 Bank. On October 1, 1943, five banks (The 59 Bank, Hachinohe Bank, Tsugaru Bank, Itayanagi Bank and Aomori Bank) merged to form the Aomori Bank.
