sorry if the above is an infraction but bear with me.......
if we were to create a book of "sod's" law (or murphy's law as its known).....
what laws would be in it?
what would you put in it!
this could be fun!:lol:
i mean obviously you'd have the usual ones like:
if i put out washing it will rain
the week i don't put on the lottery my numbers will come out
etc.....

Why is it when the house is all neat and tidy, nobody visits? When it's like a bomb struck it, someone always arrives unexpectedly.;)
your favourite clothes are always in the wash when you decide to go somewhere special!
Toast always falls butter side down.
The day you decide to have a barbeque it rains.
If you go abroad in summer the week your away the weather glorious at home.
Whenever you mop the floor someone always comes in with dirty shoes.
Your car breaks down where theres no mobile phone signal.
The phone or doorbell rings just as you've sat on the loo!
just a few of mine![lol]

You spend eight billion pounds on a part made from purest unobtainable for your car that take nine months to be delivered and fitted, only to be told by a bloke in the pub that he's just sold one for a tenner last week......[disgust]

No matter what you say, there will be an offended person somewhere.
I just got a book for my birthday from a very good friend that is called Ms Murphy,s Law. So here is a few i like out of it-
1.Toddlers never use the Avon play lipstick. Only the Estee Lauder.
2. In the unlikely event that the entire family has gone out for the
evening and you are watching a very good film, they will break down
and be back,full of who did what and what the policeman said, just in
time to drown out the climax.
3. MOTHER-IN-LAWS RULES-
Every housewife has her blind spot. This will prove to be her mother-
in-law's fetish.
4. All dresses at sales are size 10 - unless you wear size 10, then they are
size 20.
As soon as you have a mouthful of crisps the phone will ring.

lol Unicorn, you been pebble dashing the walls?
Just thought of another
be in all week and never leave the house, go out for 20 minutes and the postie will have left a card with a delivery to be picked up from post office. I hate that.
No matter what ye mean there's always someone determined to see" less then ther is in everything!!!"
How about listers law:There will always be the unimaginative and surreal poster ready to disrespect and condemn the original lighthearted poster with their common "CLEAKY" goal of contempt and hyperbole with there uncouth ed sarcastic and unfunny posts, disgusting and deliberately childish,sinister,underhanded and above all stupid remarks against the truthful and real NEW posters of today.
They feel the newness of the org and don't like it ,so clam together like barnacle's on the rock of dysfunction and compete for the right to be the most idiotic and unfunny,irrelevant,UN-moralistic and above all blatantly neolithic viewed missing links of life,more to be pitied than laughed at,although i do,,all the time when ever they post,I'm surprised they can walk upright in there guise as humans let alone type..hehehe
Nyer... hurt the new,,,Nyer.... sarcasm is rule,,,Nyer,,I'm am the org..Nyer I have the only opinion,,NYerrrrrrr what a laugh we have at you ..what a joke ye have become in this new org which has, for the 1st time,made in the contempt YOU have created...its you who have done the groundwork..its you who have created the new org.Its not yours anymore.
.
Freedom is a word,,its also a new beginning.
Smote the old,dysfunctional orgers with their contempt for genuine posters with real opinions and real lives with real experiences..
They have been outed and in some cases smoted good.;)
If you are late you always get stuck at every set of traffic lights and stuck behind a slow driver. On time and you sail through...
Not that that rule really applies up here thank god :)
No matter how hard you try to move on there is always someone who is willing to try to drag you back down to their level.
The problem with Murphy's law is the probabilty that the improbable will not happen but then again it just might.

Vini, vidi and whatever is Latin for pished masel laughin.
If you are running late 1 child wont be able to find their shoes.
As soon as you get all 3 in the car 1 will need a pee.
When you get them back in the car you will notice a nasty smell from the little one which involves a nappy change!
Someone will fall/jump in a puddle!
You will be late!
Them when you arrive you will find out the kids are immaculate but you have baby sick / cereal / snot trails (thanks to the kids) on you.
Puddles are best to be jumped in when wearing a party dress on the way to the party!
If you think you look brill someone will ask if you are ill / put on weight
Theres alway somebody around to see you make a tit of yourself but never anyone around to see you do something great!x

With small children and babies
If you take the changing bag with you 9 out of 10 times nothing will be needed
But if you just nip out without it you will find out you could do with all the contents of the bag!
You will find "bits" of a real christmas tree in june

It would be "sods law" if you did hire them and found they were no bliddy use for the job your doing. (putting up plasterboard for instance LOL).

hee hee you had me giggling there!:lol:
You get up early and wait in all day from 7am for a delivery that appears at the very last gasp -or not at all. If you nip out for 5 minutes it arrives and is taken away again.
The one basic item you go out specially to buy is unprecedentedly sold out.
You take your umbrella with you and the sun comes out. You leave your umbrella at home and obviously it rains.
You change into your best top to go out and just before you do, manage to get butter/ jam/ toothpaste in a prominent spot down your front.
When someone posts to a forum about spring arriving.... it snows the very next day.....;)
you walk on the same pavement everyday but you only trip on a certain bump when a car is passing or somebody is there to see it! sods law!

if you take a taxi home from your birthday afternoon session in the pub, and insist on walking the last 300 yards, with your hands deep in your coat pockets, you will fall face down on your gravel driveway, leaving you with multiple cuts and a burst nose. Sods law!:roll::~(

If it was a Wick taxi DH, they'd view it as an offroad challenge... not that they'd be any good at it, mind.
