A new feature from our resident
bookworm at Pam’s bookend.
Thursday 4th March 2010 saw World Book Day come to all our schools. The aim of the day is to encourage children to enjoy books and reading (easier said than done I can tell you!!) by giving them their very own book FOR FREE!!!! Books are supplied to children from Pre-School to 11+. All your child has to do is to re- member to bring their voucher home – bring it into the shop and choose a book FOR FREE. The book voucher can also be used as £1 money off voucher for any other book over £2.99. And for the grownups amongst us – Well I’m sorry to say you don’t get anything for free – but for the princely sum of £1.99 you can enjoy a Quickie . . . sorry, a Quick Read!! This year’s authors include Andy McNabb, Peter James, Rolf Harris, Alison Weir and Dr Who. Quick Reads are short stories to encourage people who feel they don’t have the time (or inclination!) to read . . . and they’re also great if you want to try a new author but don’t want to spend lots of money!! And always remember . . . . A book lover is never alone!!! Look out for forthcoming reviews
A man got on the bus with both of his front pockets full of golf balls and sat down next to a beautiful blonde. The puzzled blonde kept looking at the man and at his bulging pockets. Finally, after many such glances from her, he said, "It's golf balls". Nevertheless, the blonde continued to look at him for a very long time, thinking deeply about what he had said. After several minutes, not being able to contain her curiosity any longer, she asked, "Does it hurt as much as tennis elbow?"
The Dark Side Of Women..
A woman was in town on a shopping trip. She began her day finding the most perfect shoes in the first shop and a beautiful dress on sale in the second. In the third, everything had just been reduced by 50 percent, when her mobile phone rang.
It was a female doctor notifying her that her husband had just been in a terrible car accident and was in critical condition and in the ICU. The woman told the doctor to inform her husband where she was and that she'd be there as soon as possible. As she hung up she realised she was leaving what was shaping up to be her best day ever in the boutiques... She decided to get in a couple of more shops before heading to the hospital. She ended up shopping the rest of the morning, finishing her trip with a cup of coffee and a beautiful chocolate cake slice, compliments of the last shop. She was jubilant. Then she remembered her husband. Feeling guilty, she dashed to the hospital. She saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about her husband's condition. The lady doctor glared at her and shouted, "You went ahead and finished your shopping trip didn't you! I hope you're proud of yourself! While you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself in town, your husband has been languishing in the Intensive Care Unit! It's just as well you went ahead and finished, because it will more than likely be the last shopping trip you ever take! For the rest of his life he will
require
round-the-clock care. And he will now be your career.” The woman was feeling so guilty she broke down and sobbed. The lady doctor then chuckled and said, "I'm just pulling your leg. He's dead. Now show me what you bought."
