Hello dear Chockstoners. My, my, where did this week go? Derek my M10 love has been collecting all sorts of interesting information lately, and he has asked me to bring these few snippets / bits and pieces to your attention.

Evil?

Bono, lead singer of the rock band U2, is famous throughout the
entertainment industry for being more than just a little self-righteous.

At a recent U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland, he asked the audience for total
quiet.
Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands, once every few
seconds. Holding the audience in total silence, he said into the
microphone, 'Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies.'

A voice with a broad Scottish accent from the front of the crowd pierced the
quiet... 'Well, foockin stop doin it then, ya fookin evil bastard!'

Accolade?

In a small rural Victorian town near a world renown climbing destination, they have a weekly climbing partners seminar. At the session last week, the Convenor asked Mr (name suppressed to protect him from a Chockstone flaming), who was approaching his 30th trad climbing anniversary, to take a few minutes and share some insight into how he had managed to stay friendly with the same belay partner all these years.

Mr (golden-hair/// no, no, must remember to suppress) X, pondered for a moment then replied to the assembled climbers, "Well, I've tried to treat her nice, spend money on her and all that, but best of all is that I took her to Sydney for our 5th anniversary !"

The Convenor responded, "Mr X, you are an amazing inspiration to all the climbers here! Please tell us what you are planning for your belayer for your 30th anniversary"

Mr X proudly replied, "I'm gonna go back and get her!"

The Global Facts - At Any Given Moment:

Fact: 79,000,000 people are engaged in intercourse right now.
Fact: 58,000,000 are kissing.
Fact: 37,000,000 are getting/giving oral sex.
Fact: 1 lonely person is reading Chockstone...
- You hang in there sunshine!

Derek my M10 love says he also found this interesting thought for the day, to share with you all.

“A South American scientist after a lengthy study has discovered that people with low IQ and who don't have enough sex, always read their computer screen while holding the mouse”.

Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late.
