Barry managed to grab a squirrel on our Sunday walk, I think it must have been injured as I doubt it would have let a dog get anywhere near it, I wanted to kill it as it was clearly injured but Tina wouldn't let me.

And then on Tuesday, he managed to grab a perfectly healthy wild rabbit, the little shit just wouldn't let it go, it froze, I managed to tie Barry to a fence post and popped the poor, shit scared rabbit over a fence.

Context is key, so you need to know that this friend, named Bob, was an airline pilot who held an ATP (Airline Transport Pilot license). He also was a semi-professional drag racer who held an NHRA license. And, of course, a regular state driver's license.

Bob got pulled over for speeding and a nice gentleman of an officer—who was clearly close to retirement age—walked up to the window and said, "You were going pretty fast back there. I need to see your driver's license, your race driver license, and your jet pilot license."

Bob was horrified that the cop had all that info on him. He worried about consequences to his professional and semi-professional careers. He dug through his wallet and finally said to the cop, "Well, here's my jet pilot license. Here's my race driver license. And here's my driver's license."

The cop stared at all three for a bit then started laughing. "I've been pulling people over for decades and, to break the tension, I always ask them for their jet pilot license, race driver license, and driver's license. When they can only pull out a driver's license, I then say, 'Well, that's too bad, because to drive that fast you need all three of those licenses, so I'm going to have to give you a ticket. If you had all three I could let you go.'"

"I can’t use that line on you because you're the first person who has ever had all three. So to be true to myself I'm going to let you go."

Good Xmas deed done this morning at Sainsburys check out. I was behind a really old lady in the queue. Her bill came to £32 but when she counted out all her money she only had £20 and was upset that she must have lost £20 in the shop somewhere. She reminded me of my late grandma and I felt sorry for her. She didn’t want me to help her but I insisted, and in no time we had all her shopping back on the shelves.

One of the lads in Document Control has had a parcel delivered, a rucksack he's been waiting for that he bought off Ebay. It looks good, ideal for what he wants and came with a free bag of dog shit and a tampon in the outer pockets.

Yeah seriously.

I told him to keep the tampon - he's such a fanny he might need it. 

Facething.

I thought I had cleaned the cat bite well enough but that went west too.

Nice snap, somewhat different from the fog on.

Sun's too high.

Saw an amazing sunrise on the way home from work the other day, but there wasn't anywhere to pull the car in.

Yet another beautiful day, sunshine and blue skies. Can't remember an Xmas break when we've had it so good.

Yes cold but I don't mind that. Had a wonderful round of golf at Sharpley Springs on Boxing Day; full greens and no teeing up or mats. Course was in great nick.
