			<description>Talking Dog



  A guy is driving around the  back woods of Goulburn and he sees a sign in 

front of a  broken down shanty-style house: &quot;Talking Dog For Sale.&quot;

He rings the bell  and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the 

backyard.

The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever 

sitting there.

&quot;You talk?&quot; he asks.

&quot;Yep,&quot; the Lab replies.

After the guy  recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says  ...</description>

			<description>As part of my work I went across to Glenrothes in Fife today. I had been invited to attend an event called 'Safe Drive Stay Alive'. It is on every day this week and 5th and 6th year pupils are invited from schools all over Fife. After ministers, councillors and others had given their speeches to myself and other road safety representatives,we were taken to an auditorium where the kids were. One guy was working to get the kids hyped up by getting a few of them to take part in games on the stage,  ...</description>

Anyway the journey was going well though it was more like being on a boat with the rain on the windows and the spray from the road! Anyhow heading towards the Roslin the road was flooded at the dip just before entering Roslin so we heads through the water and a loud thud could be heard, someone wanted off so I assumed it was maybe something being dropped (bus much much quieter  ...</description>

It told me that two transactions had been made for £300 to Hong Kong using Paypal and £12 to a bookmaker in the UK  Eventually I got through to a real person and my card has been stopped and another one is being sent to me. Thankfully it looks as if no money has been taken out of my account so I won't even lose the money temporarily. However, I forgot about it this morning and cycled  ...</description>

If it's not a fly-on-the-wall involving the police, big brother, reruns of airline or soaps there is really nothing that stands out. Then there is the football, Saturday nights see the shows such as match of the day, then the same program is on again  ...</description>

They then hired a car and went touring round Scotland stopping off to see one of our previous foster kids near Inverness. 



Anyway, they came back last night and had to take the car back this morning. They then went to see  ...</description>

The best chips I had were from the 'Anstruther Fish Bar', Anstruther - 10 out of 10, also a nice location to eat them sitting in the harbour. 

The worst I have had were from our very own 'Pennycook takeaway', 1 out 10 is probably being too generous, chips that looked like they had been floating in the frier for way too long with the ability to squeeze some of them and watch the  ...</description>

Then I suddenly realised that it was warning cyclists about the pieces of metal sticking up from the path. The problem is that it is so close to the hazard that I distracts cyclists from the hazard that has been there for years  This is the first time I have come so close to actually hitting them  </description>

			<description>After spending all week painting and decorating the house I was ready to put my feet up. It's Friday and it's payday and I should be happy but when I checked my debit account I found that somebody has been dipping into it and spent £80 of my money  It started with a small amount the other day for which I raised a dispute with my bank. Now I've had to have the card that was being used stopped. Luckily it's a joint account and I can still use my wife's card until I receive a new one. Strangely  ...</description>

			<description>Yesterday, you'll recall, there was a bit of a stooshie about the BNP membership list being published on the internet. The Blog that published it has been forced to rake it down. 



Soon, the whole affair will be forgotten and the repulsive sub-neanderthal beings that make up the BNP will be able to go about their (perfectly lawful) hate campaign without fear of persecution or embarrassment.



Or maybe not.



Around Christmas time, I intend to email the list to some of the people named  ...</description>

			<description>Well, I don't know about anyone else but it was rather frustrating trying to come home earlier on this evening  I left my work to find that I was going to have to wait about 11 minutes for a 22 bus to take me to Princes street. I then decided to walk to Great Junction street to see if I could catch another bus there. On the way six 22 buses passed me, 4 of them were in a chain  I eventually got a 14 that took me to the bridges. I was unable to get on an X47 and a 37 because they were full up.  ...</description>

			<description>In case anybody hadn't noticed, it's raining again  However, this time I came home from work to find Moira and my son in wellie boots. Apparently the rain started just after 4 o'clock and before long the patio in our back garden began to fill up. They had working for an hour trying to empty it and when I arrived it was about 4 inches from entering the house   I then spent another hour until it finally emptied and the rain went off. I'm going to have to try and find a water pump somewhere.

			<description>As the rain was off I decided to go for a run on my bike. After buying some stuff at the supermarket I went up Cornbank. On the way I noticed that there is a notice on the public phone box saying that it no longer accepts coins. I take it that this means that BT are trying to massage the statisics to show that less people are using it

			<description>For the 1st time in 3 days this morning the 0752 X47 from Penicuik Centre actually turned up, the goodness of this was lost though when we reached Nobles (about 0810) and joined the queue for the traffic heading towards Edinburgh. Princes Street was finally reached about 0950 so from house to work took me 2 hours 20mins !!!! Just goes to show that the road infrastructure can cope with traffic under normal conditions but take one major road out the equation and everything grinds to a halt. Thankfully  ...</description>

			<description>I went for a cycle along the old railway earlier this evening. As I was approaching the long railway tunnel I noticed that there was a fire engine at the top of the embankment. A dog was barking and a woman was trying to find it. I thought no more about it and continued on to Rosewell. On the way back, as I was coming out of the tunnel I glanced to my left. A man was sitting on the ground and a few feet away from him, a horse was lying in a crumpled heap on the ground   </description>

However, when I came home from work Moira told me that there had been a cat in the back garden earlier and it seemed to be playing hide and seek with her. I went into the garden and found that the cat was still there and seemed to be stuck between our two garden sheds. With some help from the neighbours we managed to get it to move proving that it was not stuck. The trouble is it does not seem to want to leave. It is quite big and we are wondering if  ...</description>
