Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

God, I could not be any less in the mood right now. I have a total case of the Mondays!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I bet you could, if you were me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am not so sure about that.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Given that my internal debate has now shifted from "get moving or you will be late" to "how late are you wiling to be", I think it's a good bet though.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I failed to pay some invoice on time and now there are employees who no longer have access to a service they need. YAY? um, no. What's better is that I cannot get the service people on the phone to verify the amount due.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Birthday Happies Kathy A and Raq!!

Pub evacuated after Monty Python prop mistaken for grenade

Water company engineers spotted the object when they lifted up a fire hydrant cover during work on a street in Shoreditch, east London.

The road was cordoned off and a nearby pub was evacuated amid fears that the "grenade" could explode.

But after nearly an hour of analysis bomb experts realised that the cause of the scare was in fact a copy of the "Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch" used by Eric Idle to slaughter a killer rabbit in the 1975 film Monty Python And The Holy Grail.

The fictional weapon looks more like a golden ornament than a hand grenade; it was based on the Sovereign's Orb used at royal coronations.

The prop has become a popular in-joke among Python fans and replicas can be bought on eBay for as little as £14.

An spokeswoman for Islington police confirmed that the device was a toy and that had been no danger to the public

Local businesses criticised the police for taking so long to realise there was no threat.

Alberto Romanelli, owner of the Windmill put that was evacuated, said: "I lost a good hour's worth of business."

It took them an hour to figure out what it was?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It took them an hour to figure out what it was?

I don't think you just start hacking at the thing to find out if it explodes.
