  Pathway to reality

Very philosophical of you Reg! You should present a show alongside Brian Cox. "Pathway to reality" by Dr Brian Cox and Dr Reg Dixon ( with excerpts from the diaries of Willie Brogan )

Do you think it would take off I like statements like what you said tho
I just never remember them, All make complete sense until tomorrow
Perhaps we should start a thought for today, I just cant think of one for now

Just about to ring a taxi firm to report a driver, He just blocked a junction that was working perfectly until he came along, Just happens to be the same twat that wanted 50p waiting time the other week,
I have been told by the nice lady in the Hackney Carriage to report any misdemeanours to them and his firm,

Thought for today: Be nice to peeps who appear to be stupid and annoying. Or you will come back as a muslim,,,,,,,,,, woman. 

Or Billy

Cats, Brian Denson called by this morning, I was reading the paper nice and quiet like and in he strolls, I already put some milk down knowing one of them would breeze in, Brian supped the lot then jumped up for a cuddle, I was ignoring him because i had a black fleece on and i thought i'm going to end up like an angora jumper, Brian then sits right were i'm reading so i shoved him away and he collapsed like he doe's in a heap want me to play, shoved him away again so he took the paper with him and fell off to the floor and shot off out the back door and down the garden,
He looked back and i could see him smirking, So then he spent the morning fighting Squirrels, which he is good at judging by the cuts he has all over him, Proper cat Brian is,

Today I watched Ireland beat Australia in rugby and United beat Arsenal in the football ( 100% deserved, no question about it ) and watched Darragh pull his front tooth out

Walking the dog the other day and he walks into a neighbours porch so I go and fetch him, sorry mate dogs been sniffing your cats food but I dont think hes eaten any. Turns out its not his cat at all, he just feeds the fecker so I asks if its a young black and white brave one, yep, same one that thinks it owns my frigging land too!

Never heard smart as a carrot before

Good luck young Ross

Had a guy like that when I lived in barracks, Gordon Shaw was his name ,we would all muck in doing our kit and everybody would have immaculate kit but as soon as Gordon got dressed he looked like a bag of shit, nothing we could do would make him smart, good soldier though tough as nails

I failed my "Cadre" on the BS part of it so didn't get Lance jack. They promoted me to full Corporal the next year! (I was still a Sapper but doing duty Corporal stints and was also the troop signal NCO at the time).

Worked with an ex army guy called Gorden Shaw, he came from Prestonpans...

Bringing up the name Gordon Shaw reminded  of this story about him, he was a small aggressive git always trying to pick a fight with anyone for no reason, everyone at work tried to avoid him if atall possible, as mentioned he cane from Prestonpans a small ex mining comunity on the outskirts of Edinburgh, type of place everybody knew everybody else's buissiness and life revolved round the miners club. There were three lads from Prestonpans worked where I did, one morning one of them comes in and says, "don't think we'll be seeing Gordon this morning",,, story goes, it would seem Gordon's wife was having a bit on the side with the drummer in the club band, Gordon gets to hear about it, so Sunday night he heads down the club with a view of knocking the shit out of the guy,,, wrong move, it would seem the guy knocked the absolute shit out of him instead,,, story don't end there, Gordon then goes home and attempts to commit suicide,,, that's all the guy telling the story knows...
Few days later Gordon turns up at work to hand in his sick line, it's lunch time so he joins us in the canteen, should say his face/head looks as if someone's had a go at him with a baseball bat plus both his hands are bandaged up, he's relaying his version of events to the guys, I ask what happend to his hands, he says they were damaged due to the siuicide attempt, he undoes the bandages, both his hands have deep spiral burn marks etched in to them,,, feckin eejit had turned on the two front rings of the cooker, waited until they got red hot, then the idiot thrust both his hands bown on to them,,, thought he was going to electrocute himself,,,,, not one straight face in the whole of the canteen, feckin Muppet.........
