Cheating - email from jksw

How to cheat in Australia
Perfect example of cheating at cricket. Flipping the bloody bails off while
walking past!
jksw

Once when Glen McGrath called  Mike Atherton a "f'!?ing cheat" and asked him
why he did not walk in a match in Australia when he had clearly nicked the
ball,
Mike replied in his poshest Cambridge Uni accent, "when in Rome old boy,
when in Rome......"

The moral is that Aussie cricketers are in no position to call anybody
cheats.

Watch carefully Justin Langer deliberately knocking the bail off with his
finger. The Aussies are such cheats but when the shoe is on the other foot
then they and their media make such a big issue !

"Broad walk" was just child's play in comparison ?
Sharing with many. Hope You are keeping well, Warmly, Skanda

NICKNAMES
If Ranee, Sujatha and Swarna go out for lunch, they will call each other Ranee, Sujatha and Swarna. If Cyril, Nalin and Nihal go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Crazy and Wildman.
EATING OUT
When the bill arrives, Cyril, Nalin and Nihal will each throw in £20, even though it's only for £32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.
When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.
 
MONEY
A man will pay £2 for a £1 item he needs.
A woman will pay £1 for a £2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.
 
BATHROOMS
A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel.
The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.
 
ARGUMENTS
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
FUTURE
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
MARRIAGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.
DRESSING UP
A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.
A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.
NATURAL
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
Women somehow deteriorate during the night.
OFFSPRING
Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favourite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.
A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.
 
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing forever!     (Author Unknown at present)

Staying young - email from Piyusha Atapattu

 
 
Stay Young My Friend
We all need to read this one over and over until it becomes part of who we are.


;
HOW TO STAY YOUNG 
1.. Try everything twice.
On one woman's tombstone she said she wanted this epitaph:
 "Tried everything twice. Loved it both times!" 
2. Keep only cheerful friends.
 The grouches pull you down.
(Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)


3. Keep learning:
 Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever... Never let the brain get idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's! 
4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh ,spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER.

6.. The tears happen: Endure, griev
e and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life is ourselves. LIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love:
 whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.. Your home is your refuge. 
8. Cherish your health:
If it is good, preserve it.
 If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips..
 Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is. 
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

I love you, my special friend!


11. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second chance..

And if you don't send this to at least 4 people - who cares? But do share this with someone.

Remember! Lost time can never be found.

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
 
Wine does not make you FAT .... it makes you LEAN ....(against tables, chairs, floors, walls and ugly people.)

The one thing that we never ever had on our table at meal time in the fifties .. was elbows!

Irish Sugar Test - email Lesley Sirimanne

 One day an Irishman goes into a pharmacy - reaches into his pocket and
takes out a small Irish whiskey bottle and a teaspoon.

He pours some whiskey onto the teaspoon and offers it to the chemist.
"Could you taste this for me, please?"

The chemist takes the teaspoon, puts it in his mouth, swills the liquid
around and swallows it.

"Does that taste sweet to you?" says Paddy.
"No, not at all," says the chemist.

"Oh that's a relief," says Paddy.
"The doctor told me to come here and get my urine tested for sugar
."
