Kylie

Do you know? Kylie Minogue came round to my place the other day and I said, “Kylie. No!! Take your pretty arse and your sexy underwear and just go"

Once again it is Friday. Hope everyone is happy. I am, because since I put the counter on in May, I have had 2000 hits on my Blog!

One day I will get up to something interesting and I will thrill you with tales of daring do. But for now you have to put up with my inane day to day stuff.

I am hoping that my friends who think I sit about all day drinking Gin and Tonic, realise that life here, is just the same as at home but without old friends to enjoy it with!

Theories and observations from my week #4

What do you think butterflies feel when they get nervous?

Our favourite subject! Direction of running around the park. This week I have learnt that my, Southern hemisphere colleges like to run the park in a different direction to me. Could this be the Corriolis effect? ( The inertial force, with which the rotation of the earth effects air and water)
Or does having an Australian or South African accent mean that you like bottoms rather than breasts?

Theories and observations from my week #2

My good friend Tara suggested to me the other day, that a guy in a bar in Savannah who has an English accent, could be likend to a girl in the same bar with big breasts.

I have started talking to myself.

Theories and observation from my week #1

I have been told that I was wrong about the numbers (mentioned bellow) being in a pattern. They apparently… la de da.. are a continuing and expanding cycle!! Some philosophers, unknown by me, suggest (or more probably, suggested when they were alive) that, numbers 0-9 have some deeper meaning. Starting at zero, being the mind, number 1, the thought, number 2, development of the idea. etc etc. snore! If this is to be believed, I have clearly been going wrong with my pattern or ‘cycle’ at number 9. You see…number 9 is supposed to represent the wisdom learnt from the cycle, to take you on to the next one with more insight! Ah ha.

However, all this bollocks does not make any difference to the equation, Boat + Daren + Sea = Daren – Girl

Relax

Patterns

1 X 9 + 2 = 11
12 X 9 + 3 = 111
123 X 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 X 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 X 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 X 9 + 7 = 1111111

Daren + Boat = Daren with Smile

Daren + Girl = Daren with Smile

Boat + Sea + Daren = Daren – Girl = Daren without smile

Some patterns are predictable you can try and change them but they are just a pattern, just like numbers, or seasons, or tides, or stars

The Early Bird Catches the Worm

This week I have been a bit saddened by my personal relationships and bored by work! The crew, were all off into town on Friday night and that wasn’t really floating my boat either. So I got an early night. As they say , “If you are not in bed by mid night. Go home” I was sadly, already home and as per usual, alone!

All of the above meant, that come Saturday morning I was as fresh as a daisy! I bounced out of my bed and as I wandered into our living room, I found a selection of blonde girls, draped elegantly in varying states of undress on the different couches. I thought to myself. hmme, I wonder who dragged these back here? It was awful nice of you guys to give up ya beds but chivalry seems to have died.

The blonde fems appeared to be alive! As they stirred from beneath makeshift sheets I recognised them. In fairness I wouldn’t have, but one of them chanced a greeting using my name. That’s impressive! Random blonde girls in the house who know my name? Cool! The rest of the house was still sleeping.

“I’m going for coffee” I said.
“ Oh wait, we will come with you”
That’s cool, I thought! A coffee with two hot blonde girls who were entertained all evening by my crew mates and abandoned on the couches to be found early in the morning by me and swiftly taken for coffee and croissants at my favourite coffee shop! I needed cheering up.

Technical Speak

Tody I was desperately trying to get some electronic devise to work on the bridge. I thought that I would ask for some professional help from the smarty pants, electrician dude, who is re-wiring all of our navigation equipment. After some careful consideration, he told me that there was a 2 ft 'Air Gap' between the plug and the socket.

I hate it when that happens!
