15/03: CIA Assassin Job Opening
The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all of the background checks, interviews, and testing were done there were three finalists — two men and one woman. For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.
“We must know that you will follow your instructions, no matter what the circumstances. Inside this room you will find your wife sitting in a chair. You have to kill her.” The first man said.“You can’t be serious. I could never shoot my wife,”
The agent replies, “Then you’re not the right man for this job."
The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. Then the agent came out with tears in his eyes. “I tried, but I can’t kill my wife.” The agent replies, “You don’t have what it takes. Take your wife and go home.”
Finally, it was the woman’s turn. Only she was told to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one shot after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow and said, “You guys didn’t tell me the gun was loaded with blanks. So I had to beat him to death with the chair.”

Alfred William Leopold Jenkins - Another story by Jenny!(No Comment!)
There was once a large and beautiful onion patch that was well taken care of and was pleasant to gaze at whilst watching butterflies flutter by. I like flying kites! Any who… this particular onion patch had a strange but wonderful inhabitant that you wouldn’t expect to find in an onion patch, no it’s not a chicken that enjoys crossing roads and no it isn’t a dog either! It is in fact an otter!! His name was Alfred William Leopold Jenkins but to his friends he was George. Now then, George was no ordinary otter, for starters he can’t swim and secondly all he ever ate was Tesco value bananas. This weird banana obsession was about to come to a sudden stop when Tesco’s and Ecuador completely ran out of bananas during a banana famine. This made George starve so he needed to find an alternative food source (wow I sound like David Attenborough!!). He was unable to catch fish because he was a little bit silly and never learnt to swim, so guess what he did…. Yep you got it; he began to eat the onions. He ate and he ate and he ate until he absolutely stank! None of Georges friends wanted to be anywhere near him because of the smell that brought tears to their eyes, it was a very sad moment in the poor otter’s life, so he went to see his therapist who wore a peg on his nose. The therapist told old George to go to see the wizard; she will have all the answers to your problems. That was all that he needed to hear and he leapt to his feet and ran down the multicoloured brick road to the diamante city. This was where he became acquainted with the wizard called Roz! Roz had 2 pills for George to choose from, one of them was scarlet red and the other was sky blue. George chose the blue pill and all his problems were magically removed. Plus, as a bonus, he got a new black suit and some very cool shades, from then on he was referred to as otter smith!

29/01: News from the Family Court
News from the Family Court
SYDNEY (AAP)
A seven-year-old boy was at the centre of a Parramatta, NSW courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him.
The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible.
The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him.
After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the Judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.
After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the Judge granted temporary custody to the English Cricket Team, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 glasses of wine...
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar
was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced two glasses of wine from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - your God, family, your children, your health, your friends and your favourite passions - things that if verything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else - the small stuff.
If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal."
Take care of the golf balls first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand." One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the wine represented.
The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of glasses of wine with a friend."

Hey guys,
The photos from the gig last night are uploaded! Click the photo below to go to the gallery of Delirious Photos :o)
.jpg)
For those reading this that didn't go....A few of us went up to Shepards Bush Empire in London last night to see Delirious! Was a really good evening! Matt Redman and his band were supporting and we arrived just at the beginning of his set! So that was good! Talking of arriving!! Round of applause for Sir Jonny Welch for getting us all there and back safely :o) and for turning the minibus around in that rather small road that we went down wrongly !!! Back to the concert! Can't decide if it was as good as the last time i saw delirious at Shepards Bush but it is definiatly better than other times i have seen them! A good mixture of their songs, although i would have liked either deeper or happy song, always a classic :) But it was good to hear some of the mission bell tracks live!
Also, some guy talked briefly about HopeHIV, a charity that delirious has been supporting for a while and specifically throughout the recent tour and a few of us texted a number and donated £3 towards the work they are doing! So if you are up for supporting that there is info in the delirious? news or take a look a the HopeHIV website to see how you can get involved!!
So, those that went! What did you think? Leave comments here or on the photos!!!!
Also if anyone else has any photos that they took and want me to upload them then send them over and i will upload them!!
God Bless All,
