Well it is the weekend after all and for some it kicked off last night with the latest rugby match.
Personally I prefer to relax and take my ease at the weekend but I came across some really good sporting howlers. These are all genuine gaffs:
"Sure there have been injuries and deaths in boxing - but none of them serious" - Alan Minter
"The bowler is Holding the batsmans Willey" Brian Johnston
"I spent 90% of my money on women and drink. The rest I wasted" - George Best
"Moving from Wales to Italy is like moving to a different country" - Ian Rush
"This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria... I saw her snatch this morning and it was amazing." - Pat Glenn, weightlifting commentator
"He's usually a good puller - but he couldn't get it up that time." - Richie Benaud (cricket commentator)
"I never criticise referees and i'm not going to change a habit for that prat." - Ron Atkinson
"If at first you don't succeed... So much for skydiving." - Henry Youngman.
"The first ninety minutes of a football match are the most important." - Bobby Robson.
"If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough." - Mario Andretti.
"If one synchronised swimmer drowns, do all the rest have to drown too?" - Steven Wright.

Phew! ..... that's a relief!
Now what can I blog about next?
Fishing?
Basketball?
Television?
Romance?

Thanks BCUK! 
So you're all invited to another birthday bash at Dafter's Blog!
Tonight we're going to have a disco - 8pm until whenever!
The theme is "Thursday Night Fever" a bit like Saturday Night Fever but more so!
I've got a brand new cake - so what are you waiting for?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME ..... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME .....
@ 2007-09-12 – 08:11:09
Yesterday was the second of my "every day's a birthday" days! Confused? read here.
Anyway there I was enjoying all the excitement of yet another BCUK birthday when a surprise visitor appeared. My guest of honour was "that nice young man" Rampage from the BCUK team in Berlin. He popped in to deliver my birthday cake and wish me a happy birthday. Wasn't that lovely! 
I wonder who today's guest of honour will be?
Oh didn't I mention I'm having another birthday?
More cake anyone?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME....HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME....

"It takes more muscles to frown than smile"
If, like me, you've been hearing this for years you will have heard many different statistics. The latest being that of the 53 facial muscles we all have, it takes 17 to smile 
and 43 to frown.
The educated would argue that there could never be such a wide gap between the two figures. I tend to agree! So I decided to do some research.
For the enquiring minds out there you might be interested in the following detailed accounting of the relevant muscles used put together with the aid of David H. Song, MD, FACS, plastic surgeon at the University of Chicago Hospitals. This surgeon reconstructs faces so he ought to know.
My apologies if this list seems obsessive and technical but but we're going to settle this once and for all.
Deciding which of the 53 facial muscles are important in smiling or frowning is a bit arbitrary as many make only minor contributions, and depending on the intensity of the expression may not be involved at all. I've listed here only the ones that the surgeon feels are important.
Muscles involved in a "zygomatic" (i.e., genuine) smile:
Zygomaticus major and minor. These muscles pull up the corners of the mouth. They're bilateral (one set on either side of the face). Total: 4.
Orbicularis oculi. One of these muscles encircles each eye and causes crinkling. Total: 2.
Levator labii superioris. Pulls up corner of lip and nose. Bilateral. Total: 2.
Levator anguli oris. Also helps elevate angle of mouth. Bilateral. Total: 2.
Risorius. Pulls corner of mouth to the side. Bilateral. Total: 2.
Grand total for smiling: 12.
Principal muscles involved in a frown:
Orbicularis oculi (again). Total: 2.
Platysma. Pulls down lips and wrinkles skin of lower face. Bilateral (though joined at midline). Total: 2.
Corrugator supercilii (bilateral) and procerus (unilateral). Furrow brow. Total: 3.
Orbicularis oris. Encircles mouth; purses lips. Unilateral. Total: 1.
Mentalis. Depresses lower lip. Unilateral. Total: 1.
Depressor anguli oris. Pulls corner of mouth down. Bilateral. Total: 2.
Grand total for frowning: 11.
Despite the fact that smiling uses more muscles, it takes less effort than frowning. People tend to smile more frequently, so the relevant muscles are in better shape. You may feel this conclusion assumes a rosier view of the human condition than the facts warrant, but I defer to the doctor.
Incidentally, a superficial, breauty-queen smile requires little more than the two risorius muscles. So if your goal in expressing emotion is really to minimize effort, go for insincere.
So what does that prove? - I really don't know but go on - use that extra muscle and smile!
GO ON SMILE....EVERYONE WILL WONDER WHAT YOU'VE BEEN UP TO

AGAIN!
Have a slice of cake!
Thanks BCUK - now everyday's my birthday!
For those who didn't see yesterday's posting here's a quick reminder!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME........HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME........
@ 2007-09-10 – 16:18:22
BRILLIANT!!
I've had another idea! ........ yes twice in one day!
Now that BCUK have launched (in a Titanic sort of way!) their latest flagship facility "The Birthday Calender" we have all been given "Carte Blanche" (one of those all purpose birthday cards with no verse I think!)
As I was saying.....permission to change our birthdays on our profile. So if I do this on a daily basis and put tomorrow's birthday each time then I can have at least 365 birthdays this year!
Just think of all those cards and pressies!
A great big thank you to all the team at BCUK - now where's my cake! 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME........HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME........
@ 2007-09-10 – 12:19:40

My blogfriends know (or should do!) by now that I enjoy a laugh and being silly. So I thought (steady Dafter!) that it might be a good idea to find a joke dedicated to each of my blogfriends.

Following on from yesterday's theme "I can blog a rainbow" today's colour is red.
When researching this colour I came across many interesting facts such as the significance of colour red in the Elizabethan Era and the history of the colour red.
I quickly realised that there is so much written about this colour that it would be impossible for me to do it justice here (hence the links).
Then I thought about the colour red in sport but don't know my "Reds" from my greens! So to be on the safe side I thought I'd stay in the gem world and give you this offering instead.
Ruby has been the world's most valued gemstone for thousands of years. In the ancient language of Sanskrit, ruby is called ratnaraj, or "king of precious stones" and ratnanayaka, "leader of precious stones."
The most important factor in the value of a ruby is colour. The top qualities are as red as you can imagine a saturated pure spectral hue without any overtones of brown or blue. The word red is derived from the Latin for ruby, ruber, which is derived from similar words in Persian, Hebrew, and Sanskrit. The intensity of colour of a fine ruby is like a glowing coal, probably the most intensely collared substance our ancestors ever saw. It is no wonder they ascribed magical powers to these fires that burned perpetually and never extinguished themselves.
Ruby is the gem quality of the mineral corundum, one of the most durable minerals, which exists, a crystalline form of aluminium oxide. Corundum has a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale and is also extremely tough. In its common form, it is even used as an abrasive.
The most famous source of fine rubies is Burma, which is now called Myanmar. The ruby mines of Myanmar are older than history: Stone Age and Bronze Age mining tools have been found in the mining area of Mogok. Rubies from the legendary mines in Mogok often have a pure red colour, which is often described as "pigeon's-blood" although that term is more fanciful than an actual practical standard in the trade today. Myanmar also produces intense pinkish red rubies which are also vivid and extremely beautiful. Many of the rubies from Burma have a strong fluorescence when exposed to ultraviolet rays like those in sunlight, which layers on extra colour. Burma rubies have a reputation of holding their vivid colour under all lighting conditions.
Fine rubies are also found in Thailand. Thai rubies tend to be darker red in tone: a real red, tending toward burgundy rather than pink, as Burma rubies do. Some Thai rubies have black reflections, a phenomenon called extinction, which can make their colour look darker than it really is. But Thai rubies also can have a rich vivid red that rivals the Burmese in intensity. Sri Lankan rubies can also be very beautiful. Sri Lankan stones are often pinkish in hue and many are pastel in tone. Some, however, resemble the vivid pinkish red hues from Burma.
Occasionally a few fine top-quality rubies appear on the market from Afghanistan, Pakistan, or the Pamir Mountains of the Commonwealth of Independent States. The terrain in these areas has made exploration for gemstones very difficult but someday they may produce significant quantities for the world market.
My boyfriend's parent's think that I'm a real gem! I overheard them saying "Where on earth did he dig her up from?" Ah isn't that sweet!
@ 2007-09-08 – 17:23:16
Don't ask me - I've no idea whatsoever!
Here is a quote for today - I'm only quoting - this isn't my view!
"Love is temporary insanity curable by marriage." - Ambrose Bierce
Talking of marriage here's another quote:
"When a man steals your wife there is no better revenge than to let him keep her." - Sacha Guitry.
I'M NOT INSANE AFTER ALL - I'M IN LOVE OR CRAZY!

Yesterday the colour was purple. Today my thoughts turned skyward and turquoise came to mind. Don't you just love the word turquoise? go on say it "turquoise".
This is what I've learned about turquoise:
Turquoise
Turquoise is a hydrous copper aluminum sulfate found in every color of blue, greenish blue or deep green. The rich blues are due to the abundance of copper while green turquoise has more aluminum. It has been mined from at least 6000 BC by early Egyptians. Its history also includes beautiful ornamental creations by Native Americans and Persians.
It is found in Arizona and New Mexico, USA; Australia; Iran; Afghanistan and other places in the Middle East.
In the Orient, a turquoise ring was worn as a protector against all things evil. The Indians of Mexico and the Southwestern United States used turquoise to guard burial sites. To the prehistoric Indian, turquoise, worn on the body or used in ceremonies, always signified the god of the sky alive in the earth, and in that way, it acted as a divining stope.
Turquoise is believed to relax the mind and relieve mental tensions, calming the emotions and easing stress.
Pieces of sky. Thats how turquoise was called by some Native American tribes. Indeed, it requires no great stretch of the imagination to understand why turquoise was referred to as such. Just as the heavens could be a peaceful or stormy blue, so could turquoise seem to express different moods with its different shades of blue and green. Wearing pieces of sky in a turquoise necklace is a provocative and attractive idea.
Known as the birthstone of December, turquoise can be opaque or translucent, and a turquoise necklace made of beads conveys an iridescent, whimsical effect.
Necklaces made from Persian or Iranian turquoise are the most expensive, since this variety of turquoise is considered to be of the highest quality. However, less expensive varieties are available from Mexican, Chinese, Egyptian and American sources. Turquoise necklaces are popular items in Native American and Southern jewellery collections, but by and large, they have found their way into mainstream culture.
According to gemologists, turquoise is believed by people of different cultures to have healing, protective, and restorative powers. Folklore also tells us that turquoise would fade or change colour when the wearer was in danger or if a lover had been unfaithful. Whether a person believes in such tales or not, the fact remains that a turquoise necklace and other pieces of turquoise jewellery are not only fashionable and beautiful dress accessories, they have also played a major role in the shaping of various cultures as well.
SO YOU SEE - I MAY BE DAFT BUT I'M NOT STUPID!

How many times have you said or heard that expression? So often we speak without thinking. We open our mouths without first engaging our brains. Sometimes the outcome is funny and other times simply embarassing.
Here are a few such silly questions with a multiple choice of snappy answers:
Q: Did you catch that fish?
A: No, I talked him into giving himself up.
A: No, I was sitting here minding my own business when the crazy thing jumped into my pail.
A: No, it's a plastic model to get people like you to start fascinating conversations.
Q: (from a woman just pulled over by a police officer) Did I do something wrong, officer?
A: No, today we're giving tickets out for doing things right.
A: No, I just got tired of lugging around these heavy summonses so I decided to give some of them away.
A: No, I'm giving a ticket to this crazy street because it's going the wrong way.
Q: (from a waiter, to a husband and wife) Table for how many?
A: A hundred and twelve -- we like to change seats every few minutes.
A: One -- my wife will sit on my shoulders.
A: I don't know -- I can't count that high, either.
BYE AGAIN - HAVE ANOTHER DAFT DAY WHEREVER YOU ARE!

Well the new term has only just started. Just when you were enjoying yourself it's back to school again! To make matters worse, not only have your days been ruined but your evenings too! That's right HOMEWORK!
Never mind if you haven't done yours here are some good excuses:
I lost it fighting this kid you said you weren't the best teacher in the school.
I was mugged on the way to school and the mugger took everything I had.
Our puppy toilet trained on it.
Some aliens from outer space borrowed it so they could study how the human brain worked.
I put it in a safe, but lost the combination.
I loaned it to a friend, but he suddenly moved away.
Our boiler stopped working and we had to burn it to stop ourselves from freezing.
I left it in my shirt and my mother put it in the washing machine.
I didn't do it because I didn't want to add to your already heavy workload.
My little sister ate it.
THERE YOU GO - JUST HELP YOURSELF!

Here's a little gift I thought I might buy for Meno!
A radio-controlled tarantula!
What makes this Radio Controlled Tarantula creepy is that each of its eight legs move independently, so that it looks and walks like the real thing.
It's life-like legs are just for show however; it moves around on wheels.
Still, imagine the screams you'll hear as you pilot this thing throughout the office! Watch out, you may end up with someone pulverizing it with a phone book.
SORRY MENO - I SAW IT ADVERTISED AND THOUGHT OF YOU!
@ 2007-09-05 – 08:58:34
Yes it's back to school time again. Now you know that I put a lot of store on good education but there is often a funny side to going to school.
I hope these will make you smile!
On the way home from the first day of school, the father asked his son, "What did you do at school today?"
The little boy shrugged his shoulders and said, "Nothing".
Hoping to draw his son into conversation, the father persisted and said, "Well, did you learn about any numbers, study certain letters, or maybe a particular color?"
The perplexed child looked at his father and said, "Daddy, didn't you go to school when you were a little boy?"
A little girl had just finished her first week of school.
"I'm just wasting my time," she said to her mother.
"I can't read, I can't write and they won't let me talk!"
An honest seven-year-old admitted calmly to her parents that Billy Brown had kissed her after class.
"How did that happen?" gasped her mother.
"It wasn't easy," admitted the young lady, "but three girls helped me catch him."
Mother: What did you learn in school today
Son: How to write
Mother: What did you write ?
Son: I don't know, they haven't taught us how to read yet !
And finally ...... Q.What's big and yellow and comes in the morning to brighten a mothers day ?
A. The school bus !
BYE FOR NOW - HAVE A TRULY EDUCATIONAL DAY!

You get a tune in your head?
This time it's my own fault for posting "QUESTIONS...QUESTIONS...QUESTIONS"
This Johnny Nash song has now invaded my brain:
There are more questions than answers
Pictures in my mind I will not show
There are more questions than answers
And the more I find out, the less I know
Yeh, the more I find out, the less I know
I've asked the question time and time again
Why is there so little love among men?
But what is life, how do we live?
What should we take and how much should we give?
Oh, there are more questions than answers
Pictures in my mind I will not show
There are more questions than answers
And the more I find out, the less I know
Yeh, the more I find out, the less I know
Oh, yeah
Oh, what is life, how do we live?
Oh, what should we take and how much should we give?
There are more questions than answers
They're just pictures in my mind I will not show
There are more questions than answers
And the more I find out, the less I know
Yeh, the more I find out, the less I know
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS IMPROMPTU MUSICAL INTERVAL!

Now I know that I'll not the brightest blogger on the blog but I do beleive in self improvement. Why do people stay ignorant when all they have to do is ask? "That is a good question" I hear you say (well I heard someone say it anyway!!)
Anyway actions speak louder than words so I'm now going to embark on some self improvement. I think I'll call it "Dafter's Open House" DOH for short.
I'm going to stick out my neck (whatever that means??) and jot down a few questions that have been puzzling me for ages.
THINGS I ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW BUT DARENT ASK
If Teflon is a nonsticky substance, how did they get it to stick to the pan?
Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Who invented the happy face, and did he do time for it?
Why is there an expiration date on sour cream?
What is the Leaning Tower of Pisa for?
What do Scotsmen wear under those kilts?
Can some people extinguish street lamps by force of their bodily emanations?
Is the U.S. government really hiding alien spaceships in Area 51?
If you swim less than hour after eating, will you get cramps and die?
What's the difference between a Looney Tune and a Merrie Melody?
Can I see a Munchkin committing suicide in The Wizard of Oz?
Will watching too much TV ruin your eyes?
Is it aerodynamically impossible for bumblebees to fly?
Why do parachute jumpers yell "Geronomo"?
Was The Texas Chain Saw Massacre based on actual events?
Did medieval lords really have "the right of the first night"?
How do astronauts go to the bathroom in space?
How can they have Interstate highways in Hawaii?
Can people really hear radio broadcasts through their teeth?
Is there a place called Podunk?
What does Queen Elizabeth carry in that purse?
Who decided we have to put up yellow ribbons every time there's a war?
What was Barney Rubble's job?
So how do porcupines mate?
How did they get Mr. Ed to talk?
Did brontosauri really have a second brain in their behinds?
What is a mojo, anyway?
Is it true Thanksgiving was invented by the editor of Harper's Bazaar?
Why do your fingers and toes wrinkle in the bathtub?
Is it true turkeys are so dumb they will look up at the sky when it rains and drown?
What are the real lyrics to "Louie, Louie"?
Is it true what they say about Catherine the Great and the horse?
Does the Vatican really have the world's largest pornography collection?
What are the nine Eskimo words for snow?
Why do men have nipples?
What does the 'H' stand for in Jesus H. Christ?
Why do pigeons bob their heads?
Why does fluff collect in your navel?
If all one billion Chinese got up on chairs and jumped off at the same time, would the earth be thrown out of its orbit?
Why are yawns contagious?
How do they get the M on MMs?
Why does it hurt to chew on an aluminium-foil spitball?
ANSWERS (OR MORE QUESTIONS) ON A COMMENT PLEASE!

Types of Girlfriends
Someone has rightly said that mobiles and girlfriends have one thing in common. The moment you get one, you wish you had waited some more and got your hands on the latest model. Yet another thing typical of girlfriends is that you always think that others have a better one than yours. We have ascertained a few categories in which most of the girlfriends can be put into. They are:
Ms Always Sick Quite predictable and miserable always, this type of girlfriend is a constant whiner and always seems to be pale and ill. The biggest threat with this type of girlfriend is that her attitude can be contagious and you may also feel as sick as her.
Ms Know It All This type of girlfriend is very demanding and commanding. She doest not request you to do a thing but orders you to stand straight, change the tie or the job amongst many other things. She is quite bossy and is certainly more like Mom than a girlfriend. Though, she is often right but hey, she is not good for your male ego.
Ms Nice Guy This is either one of the boys or a precious girl that enjoys everything you love. She is the perfect doormat kinds that most of us covet for. She readily agrees to anything you say, is mostly cheerful, kind and ready to forgive. The only fear is that she may realize the truth one day and become wiser.
Ms No Confidence This type of girl cant decide about anything in life and frets a lot. She needs you to decide everything for her including her hair colour, home, career and goals. Though, it is very easy to soothe her, she gets perturbed easily too.
Ms Screechy This girl yells and shouts at the top of her voice. She can compete with sailors in swearing. Though she pays attention to you very minutely but it does not take much to get her throwing frying pans and paper weights at you. She is a She Devil straight from Hell and you are advised to run away from her as soon as possible.
Ms Wild This girl is too fast but you may love her as a good pastime for a spell. She is always ready to share drinks with you and is quite uninhibited. She is fun but so unpredictable that you can never know that when she will drive off the cliff when you are sitting inside her car.
Ms. Dream Girl This girl just adores you and considers you God. She is just perfect, gorgeous, sexy and a perfect knockout. She has a good sense of humour, is intelligent and uninhibited. But then she is just a dream.

You will recall that I've got this new boyfriend called Igor. Well he's marvellous and wonderful and a complete one-off. For those of you who haven't been following my love life here's another chance for me to show his picture off:
Isn't he cute!
As I said he's a one-off and there are those who said he broke the mould.
For the rest of you ladies, boyfriends can be of many types. Here are the categories from which you can evaluate where your boyfriend fits in and find out more about his traits and personality:
Mr Family Man A perfect marriage material, this type of guy is always ready to help you with household chores, cuddle you and pamper you. He is well behaved and just a sweetie darling. Though, he is not so popular with guys who consider him a soft-boiled egg. Even you may feel that he is a little too compassionate and lacks willpower.
Mr Grumpy This guy has a lot to complain about everything and anything in the world and everybody is either stupid or evil for him. He rarely ventures out of the house and is a predictable jerk. It is very difficult to fare with such a person for long.
Mr Creampuff Always ready to say sorry, this guy is just too soft. He is cute and has an innocent look on the face and trembles and jumps entertainingly when he is startled by any loud noise including slamming of doors and a sudden increase in volume of the TV. He is eager to surrender and gets spooked very easily.
Mr Bigfoot Big, strong and dumb, this type of boyfriend is quite handy when it comes to rearranging furniture or change your home to haul heavy stuff in a jiffy. He is easily fooled too but you have to bear with his heavy sweating and be careful, lest he breaks you in half while hugging you.
Mr Parasite A couch potato and you can easily get hands on him. However, he thinks he has a right to use and abuse everything you own and will hardly be able to fulfill your dreams. Get rid of him quickly or he will sponge off a big chunk of your money very quickly.
Mr Sneaky This type of guy loves to sneak on you and may even hire private detective to keep an eye on everything you do. He may use hidden cameras and may even go to the lengths of desiring to known each and every word. You can never be sure if he is having the time of his life.
Mr Dreamer Probably a struggling artist or a philosopher or simply a buffoon, this type of guy has no idea of what his career and growth prospects are and how he is going to achieve his goals. Yet, he always dreams of being rich and famous someday. He is good at telling interesting tall tales but may turn Mr Grumpy after sometime.
Mr Right A perfect man of everyones dreams and answer to everyones prayer, this man is rich, handsome, has perfect manners, owns almost every luxury in the world and loves you as if you were a Goddess. However, he has long been hunted to extinction.
I HOPE THAT YOU WILL GO DAFT AND FIND YOUR MR RIGHT!

Whilst you're sitting on your settee, minding your own business,someone will approach you pretending to be your "loving wife" complete with gratuitous sex and your favourite snack. She will then subtly ask if you have a balance on your credit card. This is where you MUST answer "Yes, it's completely maxed out", otherwise she will cleverly slip it from your wallet while pretending to enjoy fondling your coconuts. Later that day, while you rest comfortably on the couch remote in hand, your card will be used to purchase half a dozen ridiculously overpriced "sale" items. The scam is so diabolical it resists any recourse by the presentation of one small gift, purchased with your card of course, special for you only. Your "loving wife" will then revert back to "moody hag" and disappear to wherever it is they go while you're in the house.
THIS IS DAFTER'S JOKE OF THE DAY - HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT!!

As you know I recently met my wonderful boyfriend Igor on a blind date. I can recommend blind dates to anyone but beware of the pitfalls.
To help you through the minefield of dating I've put together a short gazetteer or is that gizitteer!
DATING: The process of spending enormous amounts of money, time, and energy to get better acquainted with a person whom you don't especially like in the present and will learn to like a lot less in the future.
EASY: A term used to describe a woman who has the morals of a man.
EYE CONTACT: A method utilized by a single woman to communicate to a man
that she is interested in him. Despite being advised to do so, many women have difficulty looking a man directly in the eyes, not necessarily due to shyness, but usually due to the fact that a woman's eyes are not located in her chest.
FRIEND: A member of the opposite sex in your acquaintance who has some
flaw which makes sleeping with him/her totally unappealing.
INDIFFERENCE: A woman's feeling towards a man, usually interpreted by the
man as "playing hard to get."
IRRITATING HABIT: What the endearing little qualities that initially
attract two people to each other turn into after a few months together.
NYMPHOMANIAC: A man's term for a woman who wants to do it more often
than he does.
SOBER: A condition in which it is almost impossible to fall in love.
ATTRACTION: The act of associating horniness with a particular person.
LOVE AT 1st SIGHT: What occurs when two extremely horny, but not
entirely choosy people meet.
LAW OF RELATIVITY: How attractive a given person appears to be is
directly proportionate to how unattractive your date is.
HAVE FUN - I HOPE YOUR LOVE LIFE IS AS DAFT AS MINE!
