Bought a crock pot yesterday and included in the safety instructions was: -

"Do not leave unattended when not being used"

What will it do?

Also smiling 'cause - lamb shanks for dinner!

Rikkitic:
Open package. Eat nuts.

Actual text on packets of peanuts on US airlines. The obvious question has to be how anyone who actually needs those instructions would ever be able to read them.

Many years ago a friend was cabin crew with Air NZ. She said that several times they had seen people from small nations not far from NZ, when making their first air flight and being presented with the inflight meal, open the sachet containing the moist towelette and try to eat it.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Common sense is not as common as you think.

When your daughter, who is a student in another city, sends an impromptu text to say she is coming home for the weekend and your teenage son decides he’s not too busy with his mates and we all get to go out for a lovely family dinner.

Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?

You're miles ahead of me. I'm still in the getting rid of them phase!

Don't let it get wet or put anything in it after midnight.

When on my Sons 9th birthday he swims 40 lengths of a 25m swimming pool, twice his previous best, just for fun.

Is even more gleeful when I admit I can't do the same, and neither could his mother.

iPhone rang just now. I was sitting at the MacBook and the phone was across the other side of the room. I was able to take the call on the MB - first time I have done this.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

The sound of my 6 and 9 year old playing the incredibles lego game and laughing/giggling hysterically.

2 things that made me smile recently:

Getting mistaken as being Japanese by attendants in Kyoto. I got greeted with a string of Japanese words (sentences? don't know!) every time.

Once they worked out that I wasn't, I found the vast majority could speak very good England.
