Yep, I’ve just received another email joke and although I realize it’s probably all over the net already I reckon that there will still be a lot of people out there who like me have never seen it before. If you are one of those I hope that you will enjoy it as much as I did.

A mother was working in the kitchen, listening to her five-year-old son playing with his new electric train set in the living room. She heard the train stop and her son saying, ‘All of You B*****ds who want off, get the f**k off now, cause we’re in a hurry! And all of you B*****ds who are getting on, get the f**k on, cause we’re going down the tracks’.

The horrified mother went in and told her son, ‘We don’t Use that kind of language in this house. Now I want you to go to your room and stay there for TWO HOURS! When you come out, you may play with your train, but I want You to Use nice language.’

Two hours later, the son came out of the bedroom and resumed    Playing with his train. Soon the train stopped and the mother heard her son say, ‘All passengers who are disembarking the train, please remember to take all of your belongings with you. We thank you for travelling with us today and hope your trip was a pleasant one.’

As the mother began to smile, the child added, “For those of you who are pissed off about the TWO HOUR delay, please see the fat b*tch in the kitchen.”

Not that I have had any personal experience, being a bloke, but I have heard that being pregnant for a lot of women is a pretty special experience. I did notice, in my wife’s case, that the one gripe she really had, apart from the occasional bout of morning sickness, was the luck of any decent maternity clothes. After all being pregnant is no reason for not being able to feel sexy and looking good in the clothes you wear.

Fortunately this does not seem to be such an issue today as there now exists many firms that will cater to this very important market, so that now women can feel good about how they look right through their pregnancy.

Whoever said that Murphy’s Law doesn’t exist has never changed blog themes before. Like everything else, when it comes to things going wrong, you can bet your ass that Murphy is going to stuff things up for you. In my case it was the threaded comments or what is sometimes called nested comments. For some reason the one I was using would cause an “Internal Error” every time someone would use it, and so the search began for a new plugin. There was no way I was going to give up on what someone commented was a HOT theme.

I found Yet Another Threaded Comment or YATCP but that wouldn’t work either. AJAXed had one included in their pretty comprehinsive package but unfortunately once again it would not work with this theme.

Finally I found the one that worked and it happened to be one that I used before called Brian’s Threaded Comments but there was an issue in that it did not work in well with the dark background of my theme. As I know stuff all about .php I thought it best to ask for assistance but unfortunately I couldn’t find anything so I gave it a wild bash. One thing to remember when playing with any files is to always make a backup in case you screw something up. As it was I managed to get it working.

The only other problem I had was when I happened to check the blog out using Internet Explorer (IE) as I normally use FireFox, and I noticed everything wasn’t displaying well at all. This was a disaster as so many people still use IE and meant picking another theme unless I could resolve the problem. Fortunately the helpful members at Aussie Bloggers Forum were able to help me out and so I can now keep this them.

Have you ever walked into an office and looked at how it was set up and wondered to yourself what the heck you were doing there. When you consider that the first impression is the most important one it makes you wonder why some people, business people mind you, don’t invest in some decent office furniture. No-one is suggesting they have to spend a fortune either as competition is fierce and with a bit of mouse clicking it would be fairly easy to come up with a very professional looking office without breaking the bank.
