Thursday Summer....

Good Morning/Evening Thursday Peeps,..Lookls like we have a coupla Summery days ahead with blue skies and "Warm"sunshine!!
 
Time to get the bod wheeled out in the garden to get some colour beofre the MOS,,although I'm sure the Balvenie will provide all the colour I need!LOL
 
Off for a PSA test and start back short term on Zoly and Casodex to try and curb my PSA rise,(,was 331 5weeks ago so interesting to see where it's at now)....Over 4 years now since I became HR and the thought is that my bod may now be receptive once more (Shaddup George) until I get started on the elusive Abiraterone,,,,now been told 4 weeks,,,although should be sooner as things seems to be getting sorted at out my hospital to rectify my Onco's cockup delaying my start!
 
Enjoy the "Summery weather"whilst it's here and have a cracking day
 
One way of protecting your nose from sunburn!!
Cheers
 
Nelson at Trafalgar 2011.............
 
Nelson aka Capn Phil
 
Hardy aka George

Nelson : "Order the signal, Hardy."
Hardy: "Aye, aye sir."
Nelson: "Hold on, this isn't what I dictated to Flags. What's the meaning of this?"
Hardy: "Sorry sir?"
Nelson (reading aloud): "England expects every person to do his or her duty, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious persuasion or disability.' - What gobbledygook is this for God's sake?"
Hardy: "Admiralty policy, I'm afraid, sir. We're an equal opportunities employer now. We had the devil's own job getting " England" past the censors, lest it be considered racist."
Nelson: "Gadzooks, Hardy. Hand me my pipe and tobacco."
Hardy: "Sorry sir. All naval vessels have now been designated smoke-free working environments."
Nelson: "In that case, break open the rum ration. Let us splice the main brace to steel the men before battle."
Hardy: "The rum ration has been abolished, Admiral. Its part of the Government's policy on binge drinking."
Nelson: "Good heavens, Hardy. I suppose we'd better get on with it full speed ahead."
Hardy: "I think you'll find that there's a 4 knot speed limit in this stretch of water."
Nelson: "Damn it man! We are on the eve of the greatest sea battle in history. We must advance with all dispatch. Report from the crow's nest, please."
Hardy: "That won't be possible, sir."
Nelson: "What?"
Hardy: "Health and Safety have closed the crow's nest, sir. No harness; and they said that rope ladders don't meet regulations. They won't let anyone up there until proper scaffolding can be erected."
Nelson: "Then get me the ship's carpenter without delay, Hardy."
Hardy: "He's busy knocking up a wheelchair access to the foredeck Admiral."
Nelson: "Wheelchair access? I've never heard anything so absurd.."
Hardy: "Health and safety again, sir. We have to provide a barrier- free environment for the differently abled."
Nelson: "Differently abled? I've only one arm and one eye and I refuse even to hear mention of the word. I didn't rise to the rank of admiral by playing the disability card."
Hardy: "Actually, sir, you did. The Royal Navy is under- represented in the areas of visual impairment and limb deficiency."
Nelson: "Whatever next? Give me full sail. The salt spray beckons."
Hardy: "A couple of problems there too, sir. Health and safety won't let the crew up the rigging without hard hats. And they don't want anyone breathing in too much salt - haven't you seen the adverts?"
Nelson: "I've never heard such infamy. Break out the cannon and tell the men to stand by to engage the enemy."
Hardy: "The men are a bit worried about shooting at anyone, Admiral."
Nelson: "What? This is mutiny!"
Hardy: "It's not that, sir. It's just that they're afraid of being charged with murder if they actually kill anyone. There are a couple of legal-aid lawyers on board, watching everyone like hawks."
Nelson: "Then how are we to sink the Frenchies and the Spanish?"
Hardy: "Actually, sir, we're not."
Nelson: "We're not?"
Hardy: "No, sir. The French and the Spanish are our European partners now. According to the Common Fisheries Policy, we shouldn't even be in this stretch of water. We could get hit with a claim for compensation."
Nelson: "But you must hate a Frenchman as you hate the devil."
Hardy: "I wouldn't let the ship's diversity coordinator hear you saying that sir. You'll be up on disciplinary report."
Nelson: "You must consider every man an enemy, who speaks ill of your King."
Hardy: "Not any more, sir. We must be inclusive in this multicultural age. Now put on your Kevlar vest; it's the rules. It could save your life"
Nelson: "Don't tell me - Health and Safety. Whatever happened to rum, sodomy and the lash?"
Hardy: As I explained, sir, rum is off the menu! And there's a ban on corporal punishment."
Nelson: "What about sodomy?"
Hardy: "I believe that is now legal, sir."
Nelson: "In that case................... Kiss me Hardy"

  3. Good luck today Phil.

    Love your Nelson / Hardy (Phil / George story).
    Your frustration must be as bad as this.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Loved the joke too, Mike. I always knew Nelson was an ancestor of Capn Phil's, lol

    Of course, Capn Hardy was my great great great great great grandfather.
    In fact I'm the first in the long line of Hardys NOT to go to sea. (True!).

    I think it was all those tales of guys like the infamous old Admiral Thompson which put me off!








    Good luck with everything Phil. It's time you had a break!
    I'll probably get my first scan result next week then I have the CT done on 17th, Good timing. All done and dusted before 24th June and a week's holiday.

  5. Afters everyone........Likewise Phil,hope all goes well today........I may have to go back onto Zoly (resisting though) just to book my place on the MDV 3100 Trial....at a later date........Sorry, I posted late today,but fascinated by Mikes post.......SO FRUSTRATING..!!!?

    Don't normally post poems.......but an exception......I have so many friends online that felt these words in the poem were relevant.........




    Every single evening
    As I'm lying here in bed,
    This tiny little Prayer
    Keeps running through my head:

    God bless all my family
    Wherever they may be,
    Keep them warm
    And safe from harm
    For they're so close to me.

    And God, there is one more thing
    I wish that you could do;
    Hope you don't mind me asking,
    Please bless my computer too.

    Now I know that it's unusual
    To Bless a motherboard,
    But listen just a second
    While I explain it to you, Lord.

    You see, that little metal box
    Holds more than odds and ends;
    Inside those small compartments
    Rest so many of my friends..

    I know so much about them
    By the kindness that they give,
    And this little scrap of metal
    Takes me in to where they live.

    By faith is how I know them
    Much the same as you.
    We share in what life brings us
    And from that our friendships grew.

    Please take an extra minute
    From your duties up above,
    To bless those in my address book
    That's filled with so much love.

    Wherever else this prayer may reach
    To each and every friend,
    Bless each e-mail inbox
    And each person who hits 'send'.

    When you update your Heavenly list
    On your own Great CD-ROM,
    Bless everyone who says this prayer
    Sent up to GOD.Com
