in hand,i would have taken the dog,but i don't have one.
i'm so in the mood for lamb shank,talking about it in the food thread,might get one tomorrow.
going to make chicken kebab thingies....yum
thinking that the forman grill might be the thing to use ?rather than the frying pan.
sugar sugar playing on the iPod....might have a shimmy round
the living room. :banana dancer:
wii fit,says i lean more to the right,working on that one lol
it still squeaks when i get on it,however onwards and downwards
wonder if it will give me a whoop whoop when i reach my goal.
i need a mat for the yoga because the wooden floor is a little
umm well hard lol...

Oooo noo it's horrid not intriguing!! But seeing as u asked -
A few yrs back whilst serving in the junior but best force - RAF (Just a lil joke for jim), I was out on detachment in Qatar staying on an American base. Well they ran out of portacabins for us to stay in so we had to slum it in huge 40-person tent structures (I did not n still don't do camping). They were sort of semi perm built things with bunk beds n that's it. Anyway, the camp must've had a rat problem n we saw loads of rat traps everywhere. Well one time I was sleeping off nights n woke up to a loud scratching/screaming sound coming from behind my head end of the bunk bed towards the floor. So I kinda peeked over the top of my pillow (with one eye open only n it was done squintily). I saw this big rat stuck by its feet to a sticky sheet about a4 size. It was a cheap n nasty rat catcher sheet. The poor thing was stuck by all four feet. It kept trying to pull a foot up off the stickiness but couldn't do it. So much so it then tried to gnaw its own foot off to escape!! This was all taking place about 2 foot from my head! I couldn't bare it so legged it out to the bathroom for a pee (u always need a pee out in hot n sandy as u drink so much water) but went via the locals cleaning hut they had nearby. I told this local cleaning lady through broken English n some charades about the rat. Anyway when I was walking back from the toilet block to the tent dreading what was there I saw the same cleaning lady walk out the tent. She was carrying the rat and said sticky paper. Except she held the paper n the rat was hanging upside down off it still stuck by its feet. She then just wanged it in the big skip n that was that. I was horrified.
