According to innocentenglish.com, this is one of the funniest jokes in America:
A man and a friend are playing golf one day at their local golf course. One of the guys is about to chip onto the green when he sees a long funeral procession on the road next to the course. He stops in mid-swing, takes off his golf cap, closes his eyes, and bows down in prayer. His friend says: “Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You truly are a kind man.” The man then replies: “Yeah, well we were married 35 years.”

Coincidences like this don't happen that often:

So, as planned, I tuned in on Beat102103 at 7:50pm, and it took about an hour for the first question to be asked. The question was ''What does the abbreviation BRB mean in internet slang?''

I texted in twice this time, not like 10 times as before. Then, after what seemed to be an agonizingly long wait, the radio guy (also known as Dan Ruane) said,''Congatulations! Wow, we have another Rachel that is going through to be quizzed...''

...And it was not this Rachel. Can you believe that! It was another Rachel from a different county. She got 3.

My hopes were becoming tattered and frayed at the edges, but I listened on for another chance to enter into the competition. After another few thousand distasteful songs, once again a question was asked. It was the following, ''What does the abbreviation FYI mean?'' I texted in three times, pleading for a rope to save me from drowning in false hopes.
That rhymes.
Waiting followed. At the end of the show, a girl called Charlotte from Wexford got it. She got 1. The questions seemed to be getting harder. But I actually did know what most of them meant. Silly girls...

I will listen in again at 7:50 tomorrow, and may not mention the JLS competition again. If I win though, I will promise to let you know.

I just have to say that I am so happy that I have 13 followers! I didn't think I could get that many in a thousand years, it must be luck...

I went to the John.F.Kennedy Homestead today with my multicultural relatives, and found a strange previously unknown interest in J.F.K's life.In case your interested here's a little about him - (born May 29, 1917, Brookline, Mass., U.S.—assassinated Nov. 22, 1963, Dallas, Texas) 35th president of the U.S. (1961–63). The son of Joe.P.Kennedy(who lived in New Ross, where I live!), he graduated from Harvard University in 1940. Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1946 and the U.S. Senate in 1952, he supported social-welfare legislation and became increasingly committed to civil rights; in foreign affairs, he supported the Cold War policies of the Truman administration. In 1960 he won the Democratic nomination for president. He visited his cousins in Ireland as often as he could. They loved him, I think. Lol.

I copied and pasted that from a different site and edited it, that's why some of it has different font and colours.

Just getting you the best bits. Sort of. Lol just Google him if you like.

Yesterday, I received an e-mail from and Anonymous person asking, What makes teens so angry and emotional all the time?

Well, in answer to that, I would have to say(and you can correct me if I'm wrong) it is usually a mixture of tiredness, boredom, and/or when we over think some of the problems we are having at that time. Also, for girls, it could be, you know... But we teens are not by any means angry and emotional all the time, and besides, who would want an unemotional cyborg type-thing waltzing around their home?

Exactly.

Johnson, who became his running mate. In his acceptance speech Kennedy declared, “We stand on the edge of a New Frontier”; thereafter the phrase “New Frontier” was associated with his programs. After a vigorous campaign managed by his brother Robert F. Kennedy and aided financially by his father, he narrowly defeated the Republican candidate, Richard Nixon. He was the youngest person and the first Roman Catholic elected president. In his inaugural address he called on Americans to “ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” His legislative program, including massive income-tax cuts and a sweeping civil-rights measure, received little support in the Congress, though he did win approval of the Peace Corps and the Alliance for Progress. In 1961 he committed the U.S. to land a man on the Moon by the end of the decade. In foreign affairs he approved a plan drawn up during the Eisenhower administration to land an invasion force of Cuban exiles on their homeland, but the Bay of Pigs invasion (1961) was a fiasco. Determined to combat the spread of communism in Asia, he sent military advisers and other assistance to South Vietnam. During the Cuban missile crisis (1962) he imposed a naval blockade on Cuba and demanded that the Soviet Union remove its nuclear missiles from the island. In 1963 he successfully concluded the Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty with Britain and the Soviet Union. In November 1963, while riding in a motorcade in Dallas, he was assassinated by a sniper, allegedly Lee Harvey Oswald. The killing is considered the most notorious political murder of the 20th century. Kennedy's youth, energy, and charming family brought him world adulation and sparked the idealism of a generation, for whom the Kennedy White House became known as “Camelot.” Revelations about his powerful family and his personal life, especially concerning his extramarital affairs, tainted his image in later years. &Seealso; Jackie Kennedy Onassis.
