Stars in their eyes
A young man walks onto the stage of Stars in their Eyes, on
crutches, with a plaster cast from his feet to his hips.
Matthew Kelly Introduces him as Simon.
'It's very brave of you to come out here,' says Matthew. 'Please
tell the audience what happened?'
'Well' replies Simon 'about a year ago, I was driving with my uncle when
we had a really bad accident. Unfortunately my uncle was killed
outrightbut I survived. I was trapped in the car for six hours before I was
eventually cut free. The doctors had me in surgery for 12 hours but they couldn't save
my legs.'
'That's terrible. But I see you have legs now. Are they artificial?' asks Matthew.
'No Matthew, while I was in hospital the doctors informed me that
myuncle had in fact died, but that his legs were fine and with all the advances
in medical science, they could graft the bottom half of his body onto mine.
As you can see the operation was successful. I have been having
physiotherapy for six months and hope to be walking fully again by the end of
the year.'
A huge round of applause erupts from the audience.
Kelly responds with: 'That's an unbelievable story. So tonight,
who are you going to be?'
Scroll down...
Keep going....
It's worth it honest.....
'Tonight, Matthew, I am going to be Simon and Halfuncle'
(dont blame me, I just passed it on
)

ah girls and their endless outfit sessions
easy way to decide..
1. are you on the pull tonight ?
2. will you be bringing back a lucky fella?
answer yes and try on at least 3-5 more outfits, try on at least 6 combinations of shoes,whip off the big pants , pull out the emergency pulling pants, whizz around the flat/house making it look better, put the apple pie in the fridge, leg it for the last bus into town
answer no
leave all the outfits you tried on in a pile on the bed and floor, whack on anything you can that is ironed, hit the town in 10 mins..job done

well if you answered yes to number 1, then a) you will be getting a good pasting tonight

so get it all sorted then..well done.
get your own back...send loads of stuff addressed to the local sorting office, but just under the correct postage....and then if they return it, refuse it and lamp the postie for good measure
