In the West Country Posted on March 7, 2012 by Mike FindingMarch 7, 2012

I received an email from a friend of mine yesterday. I add it here for information and having looked online this looks like a genuine situation.

Dorset IAM – A Skill for Life

In the West Country Posted on March 1, 2012 by Mike FindingMarch 1, 2012

When I joined Unicorn Courtesy Cars, the Weymouth based Chauffeured car Service, I was expected to become a member of the IAM. I’m very glad I was. Having been a member of IAM for several years now, I would urge anyone who drives to at least attend these meetings. The best thing for driving that I have EVER done was to attend these meetings and join the IAM. The benefits to driving skills and personal confidence, and….yes sanity while driving…ok – how to prevent stress, is in the content of these talks given by a serving member of the police … Continue reading →

The Love Dress.

In the West Country Posted on February 26, 2012 by Mike FindingFebruary 24, 2012

A woman stopped by, unannounced, at her son’s house. She knocked on the door then immediately walked in. She was shocked to see her Daughter-in-law lying on the couch, totally naked. Soft music was playing, and the aroma of  perfume filled the room. ‘What are you doing?’ she asked. ‘I’m waiting for Justin to come home from work.’ The daughter-in-law answered. ‘ But you’re naked!’ the mother-in-law exclaimed. ‘This is my love dress,’ the daughter-in-law explained. ‘Love dress? But you’re naked!’ ‘Justin loves me to wear this dress,’ she explained. ‘Every time he sees me in this dress, he instantly … Continue reading →

A Scotsman appeared before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.

In the West Country Posted on February 25, 2012 by Mike FindingFebruary 24, 2012

“Have you ever done anything in your life of particular merit?”, St. Peter asked. “Well, I can think of one thing”, the Scotsman replied. “On a trip to the outskirts of Glasgow , I came upon a gang of bikers who were threatening a young woman. I asked them to leave her alone but they wouldn’t listen. So, I approached the largest and most tattooed biker and smacked him in the face, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring, and threw it on the ground. I yelled, ‘Now, back off or I’ll kick the s – – t … Continue reading →

Negativity “Parable”

In the West Country Posted on February 22, 2012 by Mike FindingFebruary 22, 2012

This is something to think about when negative people are doing their best to rain on your parade. So remember this story the next time someone who knows nothing and cares less tries to make your life miserable. A woman was at her hairdresser’s getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband.. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded: “Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It’s crowded and dirty.. You’re crazy to go to Rome . So, how are you getting there?” “We’re taking Continental,” was the reply. “We got a great … Continue reading →

Please share the following information with your friends. I don’t know WHY I didn’t figure this out before !!!!! I wash my hair in the shower and the shampoo runs down over my whole body.

Wild Turkey and Coke On A Tuesday Morning

In the West Country Posted on February 20, 2012 by Mike FindingFebruary 20, 2012

An email from david at David the Letterman.com came in passing on this little gem! Glad I wasn’t driving! “I had to go to Harrison this morning and saw this Coke truck sitting on the side of the road. When I got close to it I could see what was wrong and turned around to go make sure the driver was OK; he was fine. I told him he should get a medal for keeping the truck on the road and not having a major accident. You’ll see why in one of the pictures. I guess he wanted a little … Continue reading →

“Have a good day, Sir” said the policeman .

In the West Country Posted on February 18, 2012 by Mike FindingJanuary 26, 2017

A senior citizen drove his brand new BMW Z4 convertible out of the car  salesroom.  Taking off down the motorway, He  floored it to 100mph, enjoying the wind blowing  through what little hair he had  left. “Amazing!” he thought as  he flew down the M1, enjoying pushing the pedal to the  metal even more.  Looking in his rear view  mirror, he saw a police car behind him, blue lights  flashing and siren blaring. “I can  get away from him – no problem!”  thought the  elderly nutcase as he floored it to 120mph,then 130mph  then 140mph   Suddenly, he thought, “What on  … Continue reading →

A Dog Named Faith

In the West Country Posted on February 8, 2012 by Mike FindingFebruary 5, 2012

This came in as an email to me and I just thought it was a good point to pass on. Read to the end… “Be kind, for everyone you meet is engaged in a great struggle.” Philo of Alexandria This dog was born on Christmas Eve in the year 2002. He was born with 2 legs – He of course could not walk when he was born. Even his mother did not want him. His first owner also did not think that he could survive and he was thinking of ‘putting him to sleep’. But then, his present owner, Jude … Continue reading →

Meet Molly, she’s a gray speckled pony abandoned by her owners

In the West Country Posted on February 5, 2012 by Mike FindingFebruary 5, 2012

A most heartwarming story—beats the heck out of murders, politics and terrorists!!! She’s a gray speckled pony who was abandoned by her owners when Hurricane Katrina hit southern Louisiana . She spent weeks on her own before finally being rescued and taken to a farm where abandoned animals were stockpiled. While there, she was attacked by a dog and almost died. Her gnawed right front leg became infected, and her vet went to LSU for help, but LSU was overwhelmed, and this pony was a welfare case. You know how that goes. But after surgeon Rustin Moore met Molly, he … Continue reading →

The result of talking on a mobile while driving

The Two Second Rule – Drive Safely

In the West Country Posted on January 25, 2012 by Mike FindingMarch 26, 2016

Some time ago I applied to drive for an excellent company, Unicorn Courtesy Cars. One stipulation was that I take the Advanced Motorist test. The IAM Organisation offers advanced training to motorists and motorcyclists. In the South Dorset area we have meetings available twice a year to show prospective candidates what is involved and what would be expected. These meetings are in spring and autumn and dates can be checked with the Dorset IAM website. ANY young driver should take this test, it’s well worth it. In fact ALL drivers SHOULD take the test. There are MANY advantages and none … Continue reading →

First off – we want to thank ALL the guys who have helped us out on this project. It was not a big project by any means to them I suspect, but it has been a big deal for us! Although we were prepared for the work and had planned it for some while, it still seemed that the house had us “in its grip” – still has a bit even now while we batten down the hatches and get sorted out!! Every one of the people involved have been an absolute delight and fun to have in the house! … Continue reading →

Annual apology

In the West Country Posted on December 7, 2011 by Mike FindingJanuary 26, 2012

Over the past few months I have probably forwarded some inappropriate pictures and jokes to friends who I thought shared the same sense of humour.. Unfortunately this wasn’t the case and I seem to have upset quite a few people who have accused me of being sexist and shallow.. If you were one of these people, please accept my sincerest apologies. Looking to 2012 onward, I will only post or send e-mail with a cultural or educational content such as old monuments, nature and other interesting topics. Below is a picture of the Pont Neuf Bridge in Paris . It … Continue reading →

Yearly Physical

In the West Country Posted on October 31, 2011 by Mike FindingOctober 31, 2011

I went to the doctor for a physical. The nurse started with certain basics. “How much do you weigh?” she asked. “150,” I said. The nurse put me on the scale. It turns out my weight is 200. The nurse asked, “Your height?” “6 foot 1,” I said. The nurse checked and saw that I only measure 5′ 11″ She then took my blood pressure and told me that it is very high. “Of course it’s high!” I screamed, ‘When I came in here I was tall and slender! Now I’m short and fat!” She put me on Prozac. What … Continue reading →

WITNESS:     The autopsy started around 8:30 PM ATTORNEY:  And Mr. Denton was dead at the time?
