A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed: ‘Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through. So, please allow her body to switch with mine for a day. God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man’s wish. …
The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman… He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate… Awakened the kids, Set out their school clothes, Fed them breakfast, Packed their lunches, Drove them to school, Came home and picked up the dry cleaning, Took it to the cleaners And stopped at the bank to make a deposit, Went grocery shopping, Then drove home to put away the groceries, Paid the bills and balanced the check book. He cleaned the cat’s litter box and bathed the dog…
Then, it was already 1 P.M. And he hurried to make the beds, do the laundry, vacuum, Dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor. Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home. Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework. Then, set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing. At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper.
After supper, He cleaned the kitchen, Ran the dishwasher, Folded laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed. At 9 P.M. He was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren’t finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint. The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said:
– Lord, I don’t know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife’s being able to stay home all day. Please, Oh! Please, let us trade back.. Amen!’ The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied: “My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were. But you’ll have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant last night.

5. I was a bit of a daft bird that wasn’t looking where I was going and I flew into this man’s car. But he was a decent fellow and looked after me and now I’m feeling better. You see, I told you, Tris, there are some nice peoples.
6. Hello. I’m a freshwater English shrimp. Well when I say freshwater, I really don’t mean FRESH water. I’m addicted to all sorts…
7. Is anyone serving at this bar? I want a large gin.
8. Yes, I am and you look underage.
9. I got my eyes on you, both of them.
10. Do you got any carrots or even parsnips at a push?
11. I’m the black swan of the family.
12. Although it’s a bit shorter than normal, Munguin says WE get full pay. Tris is only on 50%, but to be honest, he doesn’t do that much anyway.
John has been having internet problems this week and was unable to send a ship, but I didn’t want to disappoint, so I uploaded this one!
I have had dreadful problems putting this AOY together. I kept being told that my photographs had empty imagines (whatever that is) and it has taken hours to get it to upload.
I hope the pictures come out alright. If not, I apologise. Blame WordPress, not Munguin.
I’ve been looking at viewing figures and I see that Soppy Sunday gets hardly any views compared with other items and often only a couple of comments. As it takes up a massive amount of room on the site and involves a fair amount of work for me, even when the photos load, I intend to reduce it in size. I thought I should let you know in advance.
As some senile old warmongering felon might say: “Thank you for your attention to this matter (and can I have that peas prize?)”
Oh, and he’s not Winston Churchill’s great nephew, you nana. He is his first cousin, three times removed and a distant relative of the late Princess Charles through the Spencer family.
Do try to keep up.
Still, you have another follower who is a criminal… He is due to appear at Oxford Crown Court on February 5, for the next stage of the legal proceedings. You should pop along and give him your support…
And while we are on it, I’m pretty sure that Churchill would have loathed everything you stand for, given how hard he worked to defeat one of your great heros.
A Deltapoll survey for the Daily Mirror suggests that in every country in the UK the majority of people want to rejoin the EU.
Unsurprisingly, given the original vote, Scotland is the strongest pro EU country with 73% in favour, followed by London (65%) and Wales (65%). It was lowest in the Midlands of England (53%) and the North of England (54%).
As you might expect, younger people are much more enthusiastic about rejoining, with 18-2 year olds at 86% for rejoining. I imagine they see the opportunities that they are and will be missing out on. The trouble is, of course, that younger people often fail to vote.
Older voters (who tend to vote faithfully) are less enthusiastic, although not incredibly so.
Starmer says no.
It would be interesting to know if Sarwar agrees given the strong support the EU has in Scotland, but of course we will never know, because Sarwar is his noble master’s faithful servant.
The questions are:
Would they want us back?
Could they trust us not to change our minds? After all, the whole process of UK leaving took up an enormous amount of time and energy on their side.
On what conditions would they have us back? Would they look at the rebate on membership?
Probably none of this is of much import as Starmer has said no, and almost undoubtedly, but somewhat oddly, the next government will be Reform Ltd.
