JAYNE WITH A WHY


My life has endured some drastic changes over the past 5yrs. I've moved continents, moved countries, lost my partner in life, lost my dogs, lost the bikes & no doubt about it, lost more than a few marbles along the way. I'm fucked up but valiantly fighting off sanity, which snaps at my heels at regular intervals. I swear a lot. Tell someone who cares.

FOUR GRAND FOR HURTING THE BITCH'S FEELINGS




Remember THIS?

Well, it looks like the bitch scored nicely out of her 'hurt feelings', as she was awarded 4,000 quid (Dh28,809) by a tribunal in England.

To quote from the header in the Daily Mail;

'It seems too lunatic to be true. But here a hair salon boss reveals how she was driven to the brink of ruin - and forced to pay £4,000 for 'hurt feelings' - after refusing to hire a Muslim stylist who wouldn't show her hair at work.'

The article goes on to say;

For Sarah Desrosiers, meeting Bushra Noah was not a moment in her life that she would describe as especially memorable.
Not only was it brief - lasting little more than ten minutes - but it was rapidly obvious to Sarah that Bushra was not the person for the junior stylist position she was trying to fill at her hairdressing salon.
Sarah's reasoning? Quite simply that Bushra, a Muslim who wears a headscarf for religions reasons, had made it clear she would not be removing the garment even while at work.

Sarah felt that a job requirement of any hairdresser was that the stylist's hair would provide clients with a showcase of different looks. Especially one working in a salon such as hers, which specialises in alternative cuts and colours.
Yet the ten minutes during which Sarah's world collided with Bushra's has resulted in an extraordinary employment battle, in which she was accused of 'direct' and 'indirect' discrimination.


You can read the whole article HERE




I find this whole thing absolutely despicable. The British legal system is a total bloody farce. If Bushy was so religious, why didn't she either apply to work in a Muslim run salon, or better yet, open her own bloody salon? She deserves to be shunned by her own community, because she has single-handedly undone a shitload of hard work by many people, who made the attempt at understanding her so called religious values. Those people have got to be asking themselves now: what's the fucking point?


The soapbox awaits.....................

FATHERS DAY

My Dad & Me

I call my dad all sorts of names, ranging from Latcherty to Rabbi Pete. More than anything though, I call him Pup. He's very special to me, in so many ways.


He makes the best Bread Pudding in the world & tells the most incredibly sick jokes.

I'm his baby girl & I'm well proud of that.


So from a total dingbat daughter, to her very special Pup - I just want to say Happy Fathers Day!


And, I love you T H I S MUCH!
Wah!

DUH! MOMENT - THE SELF CONFESSION



I recorded the rugby this afternoon, as Hubs was working & wouldn't have chance to watch it live............




So there we were tonight, comfy on the sofa & cheering the Springboks on to a brilliant win over Wales. Next up was the All Blacks vs Ireland game. The weather was horrendous - chucking it down with rain & freezing cold.




The anthems were sung & the Haka performed.




The teams took up their positions on the field.






"Is George playing tonight?" I said to Hubs.




"George who?" he replied.




"George Smith" says I.




"No love," said my partner in life, "he plays for Australia!"






Yet another DUH! (smack forehead) moment in the life of yours truly.




I'm harmless y'know.


Spadge, you have every right to groan out loud after reading this!

TIME TO LIGHTEN UP

A mother is pregnant with triplets.

There are two girls and a boy.

She is standing in a supermarket one day, when the shop is robbed. She is shot three times in the stomach.

The doctor tells her the babies will be fine, but they may suffer some odd side effects.

13 years later, the mother is fixing dinner, and the oldest, a girl, walks in sobbing.

The mother says,"Sweetie, whats wrong?!"

The daughter replies,"I was going to the bathroom and a bullet came out!!!"

The mother tells her there is no need to worry, and sends her on her way.

The next day as the mother is cooking dinner, the second oldest, a girl, walks in sobbing, "Mommy, I was going to the bathroom and a bullet came out!!!"

The mother tells her there is no need to worry and that the same thing had happened to her sister, then sends he on her way.

The next day, the mother is preparing dinner, and her youngest, a boy, walks in sobbing. The mother is prepared for him to do this, so she says,"Honey its ok, I know that you were going to the bathroom and a bullet came out, right?"









Her son sobs harder,"NO thats not what happened!"





The mother says," Then why are you crying?!"



























Her son replies," I was jacking off and I shot the dog!!!"

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
A man and his son went on a fishing trip out on the lake. After they had been out there a while, the dad reached in the cooler and pulled out a beer.


The son asked,"Daddy can I have a sip?"

The dad asked,"Can you touch you dick to your arsehole?"

The son said, "No."

Later the dad pulled out a spliff and lit it up.
The son asks, "Dad, can I have a hit?"

The dad asked, "Can you touch your dick to your arsehole?"

The boy said, "No."

Later the son pulled out some homemade cookies, and the dad asked, "Son, hand me one of those cookies."

The boy asked, "Can you touch your dick to your arsehole?"

The dad replied, "As a matter of fact I can."

The son said, "Good. Then go fuck yourself, Granny made these cookies for me."

TO SEND, OR NOT TO SEND. THAT IS THE QUESTION



I had to retrieve some documents from grandma's personal stuff. Whilst looking for the documents, I came across a sealed airmail envelope, addressed to grandma's brother in the UK. I think she wrote it about 3 weeks before she died.

.

I've left it unopened.

.

I've looked at it every day for about a week now.

.

Do I post it?

.

.

.

.

What would you do?

IMAGES OF LUXOR

As promised, a heap of photos from our (way too short) trip to Luxor. We hired a personal tour guide, who was very informative & patient with our questions.
We took in the 'classical sights' of the West Bank of the Nile, including the Valley of the Kings, the mortury temple of Queen Hatshepsut (Deir El Bahri), Colossi of Memnon, the Temple of Ramses III & tombs of the Nobles. On the East Bank of the Nile, we walked around the awesome temple of Karnak, with it's truly magnificent Hypostle Hall of 134 columns & the temple of Amenophis III.




View of the Nile at sunset, from the hotel room.


I got dizzy just watching this whirling dervish! He was brilliant!


Looking up to the ceilings, which thanks to being in the shade, still have plenty of the original colour.














So there you have it! Click on each photo to appreciate the beauty & brilliance of ancient Egyptians. If I had a dollar for every time I said "wow!" I'd be rich today! There's still so much to see & another trip - hopefully a cruise down the Nile - is something we'd like to do sometime in the future...........................*sigh*
