Forty First Anniversary of First Manned Moon Landing or Forty First Anniversary of World's Biggest Hoax?

Today's the 21st of July. Either it's the 41st anniversary of the first manned moon landing or the 41st anniversary of the world's largest hoax. I'm in the manned moon landing camp myself.

One of my favourite vids is below - be warned that there's lots of swearing. And it's not worth watching if you can't handle the swearing.


Onion Moon Landing - includes lots of swearing.

The Ring

Met the missus for lunch yesterday, as planned. The ring wasn't quite ready when we arrived at the shop so we went for lunch first. Miky thought that the restaurant would be quiet, being a Thursday, but pensioners receive a special discount on Thursdays so the place was quite packed. Not that it was loud and full of yahoos though.

Back to the jeweller's shop. The ring was there. It looked magnificent. The saleslady asked me how I wished to pay for it, after I had handed over my credit card, to which I replied, "As slowly as possible." She ripped it through the EFTPOS machine and said that she would make it, "Quick and painless."

Then we wandered down to SeoulMart so that Miky could buy some thinly sliced beef for a Korean BBQ for tea. I said that I was going to the bus stop to go back to work but I really planned to go to a florist. I ducked off, found a nice bouquet, and had them delivered.

The flowers went down well. It's only taken me 10 years to learn but I'm getting there.

Tenth Anniversary

It's our tenth anniversary today. I think we've done rather well. From the moment I met my wife I knew she was the one. It must have had something to do with the fact that she spoke to me and didn't ignore me like all the other women.

We married after knowing each other for less than a year so to mark up 10 years we must have done something right. I don't know if the poor girl knew what she was getting into. She obviously saw some potential there and, to be truthful, has realised some of it. I never thought that we were rushing into anything but it all seemed to fall into place quite easily.

For a pleasant change we will meet in the city today to have lunch. Then it's a visit to the parole officer, er, the bank manager, to take take out that second mortgage so that I can pay for the ring we're going to pick up. I must say that the missus has deserved it. Ten years of putting up with me and she probably deserves a medal. I'm guessing that with murder and good behaviour she could be let out now so I'd better ask her if she's made the right choice.

Anyway, better go. Have to rewrite a Christmas card as an anniversary card because I haven't bought one and because I have a reputation to uphold.
