  • I can't keep it up!

    As you know I am going off to 'try' for an April Fool's Day baby (or babies).

    I will, therefore, be unable to keep up with you all. So I thought it would be a good idea to set up another 'unspun'list so that you can either post some new ideas or vote for existing babies names.

    You can still send suggestions via 'comments' and when I get back, if I have any energy left, I will add them to the list .

    *PLEASE REMEMBER TOO ADD (girl) or (boy) AFTER THE NAME*

    :wave:OFF TO TRY AND MAKE A FOOL OF MYSELF (AGAIN) :wave:

  • A pregnant pause!

    It doesn't get much dafter does it? Will I ever learn?

    The answer to both these questions is NO!

    After foolishly writing my last posting on the subject of having babies I have very foolishly become broody. I have suddenly got the urge to make a complete fool of myself.

    I have decided that I must have that much sought after fashion accessory "The Designer Baby".

    Victory Beckham, Britney Spears, Gerri Halliwell and countless other celebrities have managed to balance careers with motherhood so why can't I?

    That's it my mind is made up and I want one!

    OK what now?

    "ASK JEEVES" :yes:

    Right I've checked the internet and it seems that this "might take some time". There are hundred of sites and oodles of information about what I should eat, how to know when (and if) I'm fertile, when's the best time to get pregnant, best position to use to get pregnant etc, etc, etc.

    But I've found this good website which gives tips on getting pregnant:

    http://www.babyhopes.com/articles/getting-pregnant.html

    Right I'm just about ready to try for my April Fools Day baby :yes:


    Just a minute, I've just realised that need to find a man to fool around with first.

    Help! time is of the essence I need action right now!

    The common advice seems to be "practice makes perfect" - sounds good to me!

    :wave: OFF TO FOOL AROUND - I MAY BE GONE QUITE A WHILE :wave:

    :crazy:Whilst I'm away perhaps you can suggest some silly baby names. :crazy:

  • Timing is everything!

    Thinking of having a baby?

    How much more foolish can you get?

    Perhaps the following will help you change your mind!

    Unless you're just plain crazy!

    Don't say that I didn't warn you!

    Cost of raising child to 5

    Raising a child is expensive and requires budgeting.

    Pregnancy and Birth Magazine estimates that raising a child to five years of age will cost £23,315. And this is in a family that breast feeds, buys all their clothes from the high street and spends a moderate amount on toys.

    Then there's always the point about timing. Forget about the biological clock tick-ticking away, if you're currently planning to get pregnant - think again. If you take a look at my header you will see that April Fool's Day is just over 9 months away! Do you really want to bring yet another fool into this foolish world?

    Not to mention morning sickness and stretch marks!

    And sleepless nights!

    If the answer is still yes, what are you waiting for!

    :wave: GO ON MAKE A FOOL (OF YOURSELF) TODAY! :wave:

  • I'm surrounded by fools!

    Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that I could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets.

    I asked for a half dozen nuggets.

    "We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager at the counter.

    "You don't?" I replied.

    "We only have six, nine, or twelve," was the reply.

    "So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?"

    "That's right."

    So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets.

    'nuff said

    :wave: HAVE A REALLY DAFT EVENING! :wave:

  • The most foolish person 2007

    The moment you've been waiting for. The polls closed at midnight last night. The votes have been counted and verified and I can now announce that the person voted "The Most Foolish Person 2007" is:

    George W Bush .................... polling 5611 points

    Second place goes to Paris Hilton (2361). Third place Bill Clinton (1000). Fourth place Britney Spears (917) and in Fifth place Tony Blair (622).

    George Bush took poll position straight away and held onto this position throughout. It has been an interesting to watch the relationship between the other nominees. For a time Jade Goody and Bill Clinton were neck and neck (not a pretty sight!) but in the end Bill was chasing Paris Hilton. Bill was closely followed by Britney Spears (who would have polled more votes if somebody had spelled her name correctly!) In fifth place, hotly pursued by Jade Goody (603), was Tony Blair.

    Anyone wishing to see all those nominated for this award and the current positions in this ongoing poll can simply click on the following link:

  • So sorry ............ how very foolish of me!

    I now realise the foolishness of my ways. Thank you Nick!

    It seems that my 7 Foolish Seas Competition was simply far to difficult for even fools like you! :yes:

    I have therefore had an even dafter idea for the next competion. :yes: It will be called Simpleton Competition. The answers (which will be provided) will be simple. All you will have to do is simply provide the correct question.

    The fool(s) providing the most foolish questions to the answers will win.

    And now the moment you've foolishly been waiting for are those foolishly difficult answers:

    THE SOLUTION TO "THE SEVEN STUPID SEAS COMPETION"

    1. A very brief one - CURT SEA

    2. It joins the alimentary canal - GUT SEA

    3. An odd one - WHIM SEA

    4. A maternal one - MUM SEA

    5. One to get your teeth into - CHEW SEA

    6. A commotion in the ocean - FUSS SEA

    :wave:SO SORRY THAT THESE FOOLED YOU! :wave:

    Princess Fiona gets a ship's biscuit for her foolish attempt whilst Wugamumftaga gets nothing!

    :wave: HAVE ANOTHER DAFT DAY - THINGS CAN ONLY GET DAFTER :wave:

  • How foolish is that?

    I've been so busy foolishly reading blogs that I've burnt my croissants. How stupid (and annoying) is that?

    Apart from foolishly getting out of bed what's the most foolish thing you've done today - or any other day for that matter!

    :crazy: GO ON! DO TELL - YOU'RE AMONGST FOOLS NOW! :crazy:

    ps A very warm and foolish welcome to "eggbod" the latest fool to become my friend!

  • Hangovers! how foolish!

    So how many fools have woken up with a hangover this morning?

    If you'd taken up my foolish invitation to "Happy Hour" at the my foolishly named "Fools Bar None" you certainly would have. Virtually everyone stayed up for the whole five hours of "Happy Hour". I've never seen so many fools in one place.

    Needless to say the foolish cocktails and daft meals were a huge success.

    Lots of fools said that they enjoyed a "Fondling Fool" but weren't referring to my choice of cocktail.

    Many of the fools said that they have never been as happy since having a "Frontal Lobotomy".

    The greedy fools couldn't get enough "Fool's Gold" but were disappointed to find it was a poor substitute for the real thing.

    Overall it was a foolishly great time. Any fool who missed the do can try making the cocktails at home. The recipes are real and can be found on the following link:- http://foolsreunited.blog.co.uk/2007/06/23/happy_hour_how_foolish_is_that~2505717

    :wave: BYE FOR NOW - OFF TO FOOL AROUND - HAVE A DAFT DAY :wave:

    Jade Goody and Bill Clinton are currently level pegging on the "Most Foolish Person 2007" poll! George Bush however is still well in the lead. :yes:

  • Vote for the Most Foolish 2007

    Your chance to vote for the person you think is the most foolish.

    FOR FULL DETAILS SEE MY PREVIOUS POSTING

    I'm not sure if this will work but I'm foolishly trying it out. Thanks Walrus :D

    Don't ask me how it's going to work though I'm a technofool :wave:

    Other technofools can use the 'normal' comments method.

    HEY I'VE DONE IT - DOES THAT MEAN I'M NOT AS DAFT AS I LOOK? :crazy:

  • Michael Jackson voted Most Foolish Person in USA

    This according to the BBC was the result of a random phone survey taken last year.

    “A survey has named pop singer Michael Jackson as the "most foolish person" in the USA, this not so honorable name for the fourth year.

    There was a poll of 1,000, the population of 69% said Jackson had "done something foolish" in the past year.

    The U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, shot a man while hunting, tied second place with socialite Paris Hilton.

    President George W. Bush came in third, followed by actor Tom Cruise, in the random phone survey by New York-based public relations consultants, reported BBC News.”

    I foolishly had the idea that we should have our very own random blog survey to establish this year's most foolish people.

    SO WHO WOULD YOU NOMINATE FOR THE 2007 "MOST FOOLISH PERSON" AWARD?

    *Please Note: I am not allowed to comment on any nominations but will collate all responses and give the result once the votes have been counted.

    Nominations close at midnight Sunday 24th June 2007.

    :crazy: THANK YOU FOR FOOLISHLY TAKING PART :crazy:

  • Only Fools and Horses.............

    ...... Work ..... true or false?

    FOOLISH DEBATE No 1

    «Only Fools and Horses Work » is a well known saying but how true is that statement?

    Let’s have a foolish debate. Here are some ideas to kick things off:

    How do we define work?

    Are we fools to work?

    Are horses the only working animal?

    This may seem like a foolish debate but we may (foolishly) come up with some foolish arguments. :yes:

    Please comment on the above or put forward your own foolish ideas on this matter. Try not to foolishly wander off the topic. :no:

    Thank you for foolishly taking part in this first of a series of foolish debates.

    :wave:IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE FOOLISH TOPICS YOU WOULD LIKE TO DEBATE PLEASE LET ME KNOW. :wave:

  • The Foolish Brit in France!

    An Englishman is walking along the beach in France. There are many beautiful women lying in the sun, and he really wants to meet one. But try as he might, the women don't seem to be at all interested. Finally, as a last resort, he walks up to a French guy lying on the beach who is surrounded by adoring women.

    "Excuse me," he says, taking the guy aside, "but I've been trying to meet one of those women for about an hour now, and I just can't seem to get anywhere with them. You're French. You know these women. What do they want?"
    "Maybe I can help a leetle beet," says the Frenchman. "What you do ees you go to zee store. You buy a leetle bikini sweeming suit. You walk up and down zee beach. You meet girl very qweekly zees way."
    "Wow! Thanks!" says the Englishman, and off he goes to the store. He buys a skimpy red bathing suit, puts it on, and goes back to the beach.

    He parades up and down the beach but still has no luck with the ladies.
    So he goes back to the Frenchman. "I'm sorry to bother you again," he says, "but I went to the store, I got a swimsuit, and I still haven't been able to meet a girl."
    "Okay," says the Frenchman, "I tell you what you do. You go to zee store. You buy potato. You put potato in sweeming suit and walk up and down zee beach. You will meet girl very, very qweekly zees way."

    "Thanks!" says the guy, and runs off to the store. He buys the potato, puts it in the swimsuit, and marches up and down the beach. Up and down, up and down he walks, but the women will hardly even look at him. After half an hour he can't take it anymore and goes back to the Frenchman.
    "Look," he says, "I got the suit, I put the potato in it, and I walked up and down the beach-- and still nothing! What more can I do?"
    "Well," says the Frenchman, "maybe I can help you a leetle beet. Why don't you try moving zee potato to the FRONT of zee sweeming suit?"

    :crazy:HOW MUCH MORE FOOLISH CAN YOU GET THAN THAT? :crazy:

  • And now for some Tom Foolery!

    FOOLISH FACT No 2

    There really was someone called Tom Fool

    In the 16th Century Thomas Skelton was the 'Fool' or Jester of Muncaster Castle in the North West of England. Tom spent many hours of his time sitting under a tree. When a traveller passed by he would speak with them and decide whether or not he liked them. If he didn't he would send them on their way in the direction of the marshlands and quicksands where they would meet their peril.

    Tom, who allegedly ‘enjoyed’ murder, may have been a jester, but the local carpenter certainly wasn't laughing. Under the orders of Sir Ferdinand Pennington, Tom chopped the carpenter's head off as a punishment for falling in love with Helwise, Sir Pennington's daughter.

    Tom Fool, who was the inspiration for the Fool in Shakespeare’s King Lear, died around 1600. Tom's ghost haunts the castle to this day and most of the ghostly goings on in the castle are attributed to this fiendish fool!

    It was from Thomas, the Fool, Skelton's behaviour that the cliché 'tom-foolery' originated.

    HAVE YOURSELF A FOOLISH DAY - LIFE'S TOO SHORT TO BE TOO SERIOUS!

  • What do you find under a gooseberry bush?

    Even a FOOL would know the answer to that one!

    So gather a few more because here's a foolish recipe for you:

    GOOSEBERRY FOOL (Serves 4)

    I sieve the gooseberry purée to get the pips out, so you don't need to worry about topping and tailing the fruit first.

    I use ready-made custard because it's easy, and also lighter than homemade egg custard.

    Preparation time: 25 minutes, plus cooling and chilling

    Ingredients:

    350g gooseberries
    1 tbsp water
    75g caster sugar (or to taste)
    284ml carton double cream
    200g cold, ready-made, fresh custard

    Instructions:

    Put the gooseberries in a saucepan with the water and place over a medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes or until the gooseberries are very soft, squashing them with a spoon as they cook. Purée in a blender then press through a sieve to remove the pips. Stir the sugar into the sieved purée, adding more if the fruit is very tart, then leave to cool completely.

    Whip the cream until it holds soft peaks, and then fold it loosely into the custard. Loosely fold in the gooseberry purée so the fool has a marbled texture. Serve chilled, in small glasses.

    Yummy yummy!

    GO ON HAVE A GO - YOU'D BE A FOOL NOT TO!

  • April Fool's Day!

    FOOLISH FACT No1.

    I was told April Fool's Day came about as a result of Christians mocking Pagans for celebrating their new year at the start of April, giving them unpleasant presents and calling them April fools!

    Well, that's how the story goes on The Simpsons anyway!

    Moral of the story: never trust a cartoon where the characters are yellow and have catch-phrases such as "D'oh!"...

    :crazy: HAVE A DAFT DAY EVERYONE!

  • Don't be fooled!

    Earlier we set sail aboard "HMS Foolhardy". The FOOLS on board haven't stopped asking where we're going.

    The Captain thought we'd start with the Seven Seas.

    See just how many "SEAS" you can find from the following clues:

    1. A very brief one

    2. It joins the alimentary canal

    3. An odd one

    4. A maternal one

    5. One to get your teeth into

    6. A commotion in the ocean

    DON'T LET ANY OF THESE FOOL YOU! :crazy:


  • All aboard "HMS Foolhardy"!

    Welcome aboard the "Ship of Fools"

    What is the origin of the phrase "ship of fools?"

    I've been told it was from the Middle Ages, when some city states in Italy had ships of crazy people going from harbour to harbour to help them come to their senses.

    :wave: This promises to be a long daft cruise into foolishness. :wave:

  • Fools Reunited

    Hiya folks - welcome to the daft world of Thomasina Fool. This is a brand new blog and will hopefully get dafter and dafter.

    Only people with a daft sense of humour will be accepted as friends aka FOOLS :))

    See you all later :wave:

    ps did I meet some of you last night ;)
