Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,/ monegum mægþum, meodosetla ofteah,/ egsode eorlas, syððan ærest wearð/ feasceaft funden; he þæs frofre gebad,/ weox under wolcnum, weorðmyndum þah,/ oðþæt him æghwylc þara ymbsittendra/ofer hronrade hyran scolde,/gomban gyldan. Þæt wæs god cyning!
I was riding my bicycle on the path, a jogger was coming in the opposite direction about 30 feet in front of me. A squirrel darts out right infront of the jogger and trips him up, the jogger didn't fall but both him and the sqirrel were freaked out. Pretty funny.

OH DEAR GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually this reminded me of a funny thing i saw in work today.
I was queuing at the International Currency Exchange (ICE) to get change for one of the shops today, when i was distracted by this odd noise heading in my immediate direction towards Pier B. So I decided to look around and almost pissed myself laughing...
As you all know i work in the Airport, and like all major Airports, we have our own Police, firebrigade, Ambulance etc. Part of the job for Airport police is to patrol the piers and make sure no one is doing things they shouldnt be doing! Now Dublin airport is expanding big time. It can take over 20- 30 mins for me to walk from our pier c shop to our old TFL D shop at the other end of the airport. We are always moaning that DAA have done things arseways in the airport and should have set up some kind of light rail of shutle bus service from the main terminal to the pier D, as it is an atrociously labourious walk and definitely NOT pensioner and reduced mobility friendly. Like us, the Airport Police had obviously got annoyed that if they were down in C and a call came in for them to go to D they may not get down in time for the alert (say an idiot smoking in the toilets) and to find a way of getting there faster. So their solution is what had me in stitches...

Well, you can ride a car in an airport to begin with... And I like picturing myself riding a Segway instead of hopping in a Zimmer frame!

At my age, you need to shoot me from an elastic band for me to be able to go any distance with those!
