Long Distance Emergency

What were they thinking of when they put up this sign! :)

Sisters who wed together celebrate 140 years of marriage

They married together in a hastily arranged double wedding as their generation faced the terrible uncertainty of war. But sisters Doris and Margaret Wiles were both fortunate to find an enduring romance which has lasted 70 years.

Now aged in their 90s, Doris and Margaret have celebrated their platinum wedding anniversaries with the sweethearts they wed in a joint ceremony in the autumn of 1939.

Strange News! But True...

World's Shortest Flight - Just 96 seconds

Children living on a remote Scottish island are to hitch a lift to school on what is said to be the world's shortest flight. The plane journey from Papa Westray to Westray in the Orkney Islands takes just 96 seconds, covering a distance of little over a mile. Six teenagers are to take the Loganair service to Westray Junior High after the local ferry service was suspended.

Holiday mood delays flight landing

An aeroplane was left circling an airport in the Philippines for several minutes before landing because air traffic controllers were apparently still in a Christmas holiday mood. The Philippine Airlines flight from Manila was unable to land at Zamboanga city's airport on schedule because there were no traffic controllers around to answer their request to approach the runway. The airport's assistant chief air traffic controller, Reynaldo Alforte, said controllers were late and two others did not show up at all.

Shattering blow for lorry driver

A red-faced German lorry driver drove two panes of high-value glass all the way from his homeland - then misjudged the height of a bridge and smashed them.

Whitehouse Road in Swindon, just yards from the intended delivery address, had to be shut while shards from the two 2.3m by 2.6m panes, worth a total of 4,000 euros (£3,174), were swept up.

"The sweepers were shattered - much like the glass - and the German lorry driver was very unhappy," Sergeant Barrie Card, of Wiltshire Police, said.

Site Issues - Bugs Fixed

Ok I've fixed all the problems with the music player not showing properly on small screens, again I apoligise to anyone stuck with a screen size of less than 1024px wide, I can only suggest you increase your screen resolution to 1024 x 768 which is the minimum screen res. for this site.

Now I'm going to my bed...

England fans stranded in one way street

Two English football fans in Cologne lost their car after mistakenly thinking they had parked it on a road called 'One Way Street'. The pair wrote down 'Einbahn Strasse' - which means one-way street in German - so they didn't forget where they'd left the hire car.
But when they came to find it again they found that every second street in the inner city was called 'Einbahn Strasse'. It was only when they found a policeman that they were told the sign was to inform drivers that they were on a one-way street.

They finally managed to find their vehicle hours later with the help of the German police.

My Virtual World

I've been asked a couple of times what prompted me to do a blog, and the truth of the matter is I really can't say for sure, except that I needed some kind of escape from the "real" world.

You see, I'm not coping too well in the real world, I suffer severe bouts of depression, sometimes they only last a few weeks, but for lots of personal reasons that I won't go into here (I wouldn't want to depress my readers) these past few months have been a real struggle and I needed a distraction which is why I started blogging again, otherwise I probably would have done something really stupid, you know what I mean.

Originally I called the blog Fork 'n Knife (which if said with an irish accent, sounds like your swearing) but the name didn't portray anything, it was meaningless, so instead I changed it to Life! Just Enjoy it! because I would really like to enjoy life again I really would!

We're only on this planet for a short time, a blink of an eye really when you consider how old the planet really is, and if your like me and don't believe in a God anymore, its the only life we're going to get, who would want to live it when your contantly depressed, well thats enough about me.

This blogs not about me it's about life and the funny things we see, hear or read every day, it's about getting out there and living life to the full with No regrets, live each day as if it was your last and if you have friends to share it with, so much the better.

This blog is going to be My Virtual World of Contant Happiness, so now you know!
