Is That your Flow Meter....

Is that your peak flow meter, or are you just glad to see me???
I recently had to start measuring my breathing flow to see if my new medication is having any effect. I nearly choked from laughter as I saw the package for the device.











However, it was not nearly as funny as the picture inside. If I saw someone using her peak flow meter and she looked like this, I think I would leave the room to give them some alone time. She just looks so pleased to be touching the thing. Funny...creepy...but funny.





I managed to take more months out of our calendar from the office. I can see the reason that these two may look approachable. Though it is more in a 'yes, you can approach us and carry our bags for us as we are upper middle class twits' kind of approachable.






Do you think that this girl is just way too into this guy to be in an advert for a calendar? Maybe he just offered to buy her a house. I could not figure out why this one was empowerment, until I figured out that they are looking at properties in a window. We empower him to get in debt buying an overpriced house I suppose? :)





Next Issue: Trishy Pat, don't look now, but its the skwinty bridge! We will bring our review of Glasgow's new bridge, hopefully with some nice photos.

Rare Unseen Footage of Kimberly and Andy

I normally do not like to have my picture taken. However, my pal Pete took some camera shots and several of you have been begging for a recent picture. Enjoy it, as these are few and far between.








A rare intoxicated Andy moment.












It looks like I am saying something naughty to him, but really it was just a kiss.


So, there you have it. Happy???????






There were a couple of classic Kimie moments this week. Over the weekend I was doing some household chores (laundry, cleaning, etc). I was rushing about and I went into the kitchen. All of a sudden I felt a large surge of heat. I was standing between the oven and the sink. I thought at first that I had left the hob or the oven on. However, all the controls were off. Then, I was in a panic thinking there was a fire somewhere or something was wrong with the hot water supply. It was then I looked down and realised that I was holding the iron. I had just unplugged it and was bringing it into the kitchen to place on the covered hob to cool. I just had forgetten this between the lounge (where I was ironing) and the kitchen.

Later in the week, I had a day off from work. I left the house and attempted to go to my car to go to Glasgow. I could not find it in the normal parking place (we don't have a private drive). It was not on the street next to us, nor in the car park. I was of course in a panic, trying to figure out if it had been stolen. My keys were in my hand and I glanced down at them. My car key was gone. Someone had taken my car key and stolen my car! It was then I remembered why my car key was gone. The reason I was leaving the house to go to Glasgow.....was to pick up my car. It was being serviced.

One Good Reason to Eat Beef

Yes, I think he probably is the great taste of......oh wait, they mean the burger don't they?

Well, you put a good looking guy in a kilt and I hardly am going to be looking at his food!!















This is a picture that is on our desk calendar at work. I am not sure why this is an example of empowerment. Is he stealing information from her computer? Is he reading her emails? Or is it really his computer and maybe he is looking at her chest. Interesting how they cut her head out of the picture.






The headline for this picture was 'Star Trek...now Blakey's Seven'. Extra nerd points will go to anyone than gets the multiple references. They have named a bus after Patrick Stewart. Article in Sept. 8 Metro or you can see part of it at http://www.metro.co.uk/fame/article.html?in_article_id=19484&in_page_id=7. The print version has a picture of him at the wheel.

'Driver, do you require me to give you exact change?'
'Make it so!!'




Tonight we went out to dinner. While I was ordering dinner, I was sure I was having a flashback as a giant bear passed behind me, leading a conga line. No one in the restaurant seemed to notice or care. However, since I have never taken any drugs, I was pretty sure it happened. I asked the man at the till if a bear just went by leading a conga line and he looked up and said 'Aye'. No explanation was given beyond that. Well, at least I had not imagined it.
