Tetris eases your stress says report

I must admit that one of the few games I play on a computer is Tetris. I find it soothing. OK it is a bit childish but what the hell.

Now I find that a report from the BBC suggests that playing puzzle games like Tetris is good for your mental health. A study discovered that the simple puzzle building block game aided people suffering from stress.

So its a win – win. I like the game and it keeps m y stress level down.

LOL. I just like the game!

LFC BOY

How did the Lady of the Villa miss this as a Christmas present for me!
This football-themed licence plate sold at a recent auction for £2,606. It's a great plate. Having it would have been a real bit of fun. For any Liverpool FC supporter.
But then I could only use it, legally, for a maximum of 6 months in Spain.

Pony tailed man (Rant alert)

You must have one in your office or in  the area or as a minimum seen them in the street. Bald middle aged men with a smallish pony tail at the back. We have one in our gym. He is German, losing is hair but with a small pony tail at he back (similar to the picture).
He is a bloody pest. He spends 95% of the time talking to people about how wrong they are doing the exercise but never doing any himself.
Other times he stands looking at people doing their exercise and then shakes his head and moves on. He hopes they will say what? and then he can tell them.
He never ever does this to the real weight lifters and muscle men in the gym who just totally ignore him. which is the best thing too do.
The plonker!

Card Trick

We went out recently with some friends to a nice restaurant we go to on a regular basis. This evening some live entertainment was provided. Not a singer, not a group but a magician who went from table to table doing card tricks.
He got to our table and I was ‘selected’. I was asked to select a card show the others (but not the magician) and sign it. I was then asked to put the card in the pack. The magician then placed the cards on my hand. He then took from his pocket a wallet and placed the wallet on top of the cards and then asked me to put my finger on top of the wallet.
He then chatted for a minute and then asked me to remove my finger. He then opened the wallet and there was a zipped compartment that he opened and inside was my card with my signature on it…. amazing. However he then removed the wallet and the pack of cards that should have been there had been replaced by a plastic block!
It was absolutely amazing!
