Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

I have, One of the first things I do when I get up is get my coffee brewed, then when it's in the mug I gently pour in the milk and watch the clouds that form, I then inevitably say, 'Good morning World, it's a brand new day'.

Is this a sign of optimism?

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

No Less..it is a sign that you are bored and short of something to do.

Yes I have a ritual...I open my eyes and think to myself...,here I am still above the sod and an irritant to someone for not being dead'

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

I wouldn't say you are an irritant...


just a mild aggravation!
:rolleyes:

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

You mean….a bit like a mozzie flying round your head……the thing about those little things is…..while they are buzzing….they aren’t biting….when they stop buzzing…that’s when you need to worry.

No, It's a sign of realising that you are getting older, as am I

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Of course I have a daily ritual, As soon as our cuckoo clock strikes 14-30 hours I know that it is the time to take the top off my first bottle of Hobgoblin.(not really joking).

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Get up out of the scratcher regardless of time, turn on the radio & lappy grab a brew, see what's new on here, read the news headlines, then sss, then some brekky & off to work. ;)

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

What is the then sss Dave?

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Oh dear, thank goodness your questions are always easy to answer!

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

same boat as margaret mines BREATHING,

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

I think Less has replied adequately, so don't need to go into details. ;) :D

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

first thing i do when i wake up .. is roll over and go back to sleep ..:p

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Oh Jen…I like that!

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Now that is a fine way to start the day, unfortunately not all of us can enjoy such luxury. :D

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

I often wish I could ‘lie in’, but I think my working life programmed my body clock for life….and then, as well as that I feel that I must get up because I am reaching the age when folk die in bed!

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

[QUOTE=Less;1266730]Oh dear, thank goodness your questions are always easy to answer!

sss=, I absolutely and honestly do not know what( "sss", means, If this means "in your mind" that I am (Less) intelligent than you "think" that you are, then so be it.

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

[QUOTE=taddy;1266872]Really got the bit between your teeth now haven't you?

None of the above was my intention just answered in what would be for many, a fun way, that's all.

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

[QUOTE=taddy;1266872]Steady away Tads, he's not knocking you, he merely meant that the answer was fairly straight forward. That said, I do believe Less also did military service & that being the case the common acronyms amongst the military community are shared knowledge, we often forget that your everyday "Civvie", isn't quite up to speed with our meanings / turn of phrase. :)

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Sorry Dave – when I saw your morning ritual included ‘sss’ I didn’t think of it as meaning ‘sh, sh, and sh’ until I saw Less’s very funny pictorial explanation. Instead I thought it was another three-letter word beginning with ‘s’ but that you were being too much of a gentleman to spell it out. Enough said! (and Taddy, please don’t say you don’t know what that three-letter word beginning with ‘s’ is or Less might get all graphical again, and in this instance maybe it’s better he doesn’t…oops!).

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Taddy, stop thinking about your age, which is something you mention now and then, don’t let it worry you. I’m allowed to say that because I’m older than you, (now officially two fat ladies - in bingo lingo) but instead of worrying over something I can’t do anything about I am thankful I am still here. Many don’t make it this far. My morning ritual simply consists of waking up and getting on with things.

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

[QUOTE=Less;1266873]Ok Less, I can appreciate that and I love the image, as for the first line of your comment I do not have as many toothy Peggie's as I used to have so I cannot bite as hard as I used to do as a youngster, stay safe, keep posting and we will entertain other Accy Webbers with our humour( or lack of it there of). ;);)

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

[QUOTE=DaveinGermany;1266874]Now then N.C.O. Williams,( I think that is the correct term), how could you possibly know that I have never been in the military?

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Because Taddy…if you had, you would know that the three esses….were Shave, shower and Shampoo(yes I know the third ess is to Shine….but with a t in place of the N.).

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Thanks for that Marge, as you know, I am always willing to learn new lessens about the English language.

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

NCO yes, L/Cpl by the grace of god & to get me to behave I had authority thrust upon me. As to your lack of service I, don't recall you mentioning any but your lad did Tankies was it?

Secondly my dear Watson, as Ma pointed out, you were unaware of one of the most basic of military acronyms ;). Now then, as further confirmation of your civvyness check out the list below, if you've no idea what I'm on about (without mr googlies help) you've not served. :)

PPPPPPP
NATO (Brew)
BAOR
Crabs

WIMP
Jack
Stand to
Stick man

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Thanks for that Dave, apart from the "Egg Banjo and the BAOR", I have no idea about the others but I will ask my lad the next time he visits, to answer your question, Yes he served in the First Royal Tank Regiment.
As for me not serving I shall have to put you right, I have served and am still serving as a distinguished officer in the First Foot in the Mouth Regiment stationed at the Peel Park Pub barracks. Stay Safe and stay happy, Taddy

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

I have not served in the forces, but I think I know some of those.
Buckshee….is free and comes from the word Baksheesh a Persian word and it meant a bribe which I guess is something free.
The P’s…..proper planning prevents pish poor performance.
Crabs….genital pests…lice.
BAOR….British Army on the Rhine.
Egg Banjo….fried egg on a barm cake
POETS…push off early tomorrow’s Saturday

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

It was NEVER Push off!

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Well, yes…I know, but I was trying to be refined….having let myself down in an earlier post.

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Oh well done that lass, that's a few (less), Questions that I need to ask my lad.:hehetable

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

I think(but not sure) KFS is knife fork and spoon……I worked that out so that is why I am not sure

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Buckshee = (a freebie, off the books) :)
The 7P's = Proper prep planning, prevents pish poor performance :)
Crabs = although correct by definition, it's not the case with this one :(
BAOR = British Army of the Rheine, but close enough :)
Egg Banjo = Runny egg on army bread, yolk squirts out & you end up strumming it off your kit :)
POETS spot on, but without the cursing :)
KFS again spot on, you're on the promotion board :)

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Yee Gods! An Orificer? Someone keep him away from the maps or any grown up decision making! :D

Ah the "Old incorrigibles" 1st Foot in Mouth Regt, 22nd (Armchair & comfy slippers) Bde of the 17th (flatcap & Ferret) Armd Div. ;)

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Oh well Son…close, but no cigar!

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Oh yes, I really love this one as I do have four ferrets that take up the space in the garage where really the car should be parked. Freya, Frigg, Frodo and Fritz are my pets, where as forty or so years ago the ferrets that I kept were trained for catching rabbits in order to feed my two oldest youngsters. I was asked not many years ago by some young (know it all), why I did not go to a supermarket to buy my rabbits, my answer that, come on son, which supermarket sells tinned English rabbits seemed to have fell on deaf ears.

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

You do know there are other letters & names available? ;)

When I was working with the 1st Batt Yorks Regt, they had 2 frets as Regimental mascots & my mate was their keeper, they used to stay at his house & they'd drive our hound mental when we were down his visiting. :)
Sadly the hound & both frets are long gone.

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

I know it's a bit impolite, but I've not seen Monkey Hanger posting for a while, has anyone heard or seen anything of the fella?

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

I was only recently thinking the same, but not daring to ask.
Hope he is alright.

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Agree with that.

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Monkey Hanger has not been on here since the beginning of April.
That is a worry.

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Aye & the footy threads are starting to come out of hibernation & no sign of him over there either.

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

I have sent him a PM…telling him he is missed and to drop a line just so that we know he is alright.

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

Regarding Monkey Hanger, Margaret has sent him two PMs and I have sent one. Neither of us has had a reply so it is indeed a concern. Let’s hope he is ok and it is just that he has decided to take a break from Accyweb.

Re: Do You Have A Daily Ritual?
 

very similar just i dont have time to watch clouds form :D
