For more than 50 years the taxi drivers of Manchester have got
together one day a year to take hundreds of disabled children on
a special trip to Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
The event started in 1949 when a cabbie showed some blind
passengers around Manchester. One year the convoy stretched
over 100 taxis carrying over 200 children.
Sadly due to rising insurance costs, increasing red tape and a lack
of drivers willing to volunteer their time, the charity organisers
have little choice but to cancel the event.
Another piece of community spirit bites the dust.

Today is International Very Good Looking, Damn Smart Woman’s Day.
Remember this motto to live by:
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly
used up, totally worn out and screaming “WOO HOO what a ride!”

1. At lunch time sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point
a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.
2. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want
fries with that.
3. Put your rubbish bin on your desk and label it “IN”.
4. Specify that your Drive-through order is “To Go”.
5. When the money comes out of the ATM scream “I Won, I Won”
6. When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot
yelling “Run for your lives, they’re loose!”
7. Tell your children over dinner “due to the economy, we are
going to have to let one of you go”.
8. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks, once everyone has
gotten over their caffeine addiction switch to Espresso.

10. As often as possible, skip rather than walk.

Just to prove that doctors are human and make mistakes like all the
rest of us, here are some patient chart notes which allegedly came
from actual medical records as dictated by physicians….
