Joke: real lessons to be learned from

One day a Madam opened the brothel door and saw a rather dignified, well-dressed, good-looking man in his late forties or early fifties.

"May I help you?" she asked.

"I want to see Valerie," the man replied.

"Sir, Valerie is one of our most expensive ladies. Perhaps you would prefer someone else," said the madam.

"No. I must see Valerie," he replied.

Just then, Valerie appeared and announced to the man that she charged $5,000 a visit. Without hesitation, the man pulled out $5000.00 and gave it to Valerie, and they went upstairs. After an hour, the man calmly left.

The next night, the same man appeared again, once more demanding to see Valerie. Valerie explained that no one had ever come back two nights in a row -- too expensive -- and there were no discounts. The price was still $5,000. Again the man pulled out the money, gave it to Valerie, and they went upstairs. After an hour, he left.

The following night the man was there yet again. Everyone was astounded that he had come for a third consecutive night, but he paid Valerie and they went upstairs.

After their session, Valerie questioned the man. "No one has ever been with me three nights in a row. Where are you from?" she asked.

The man replied, " South Carolina."

"Really" she said. "I have family in South Carolina."

"I know," the man said. "Your father died, and I am your sister's attorney. She asked me to give you your $15,000 inheritance."

The moral of the story is that three things in life are guaranteed:

1. Death

2. Taxes

3. Being screwed by a lawyer

Leichester city are champions of premier league 2015/2016

For the first time in our 132-year history, Leicester City Football Club are the champions of England after securing the 2015/16 Barclays Premier League title on Monday night.

Claudio Ranieri and his players have captured the imaginations of football fans around the world with the most brilliant and unlikely sporting triumphs ever seen. 

From a team that spent the majority of last season rooted to the bottom of the table and among the favourites for relegation this term, a combination of team spirit, hard work and talent has seen them transform into champions. 

In the toughest league in the world, the Foxes have led the way at the top of the table since an emphatic 3-0 win over Stoke City on 23 January and have answered every question asked of them throughout the campaign. 

The title victory comes just two years after the team secured a record-equalling seventh second tier title and just seven seasons since claiming the third tier crown back in 2009. 

When our captain, Wes Morgan, lifts the trophy at King Power Stadium next Saturday evening, he will be the first Leicester City player to do so and it will be without question the greatest single moment in this Football Club’s long history.

The skipper did the same with the Championship trophy two years ago against Doncaster Rovers, but this time the eyes of the world will be watching as they take in the conclusion of one of the most incredible sporting stories ever seen. 

This group of Leicester City players have given the Blue Army a lifetime’s worth of memories, all rolled into one perfect season. From Jamie Vardy’s record-breaking scoring streak to Riyad Mahrez’s magic to Leonardo Ulloa’s earthquake-goal – all will go down in history.

And in a season full of incredible stories, few can be more remarkable than that of Andy King, who in the last eight seasons with Leicester City, now has Premier League, Championship and League 1 winners’ medals. 

Plenty more Club records have been equalled, set and shattered along the way, but for now there’s just one fact that matters – Leicester City are the 2015/16 Premier League champions. 

Congratulations to our team, to our staff and most of all to our wonderful fans. Enjoy.

Super brainz: when to be silent

Be silent when you don't have all the facts
Be silent in the heat of silent
Be silent when you haven't verified the story

Be silent if your words will hurt weaker person
Be silent when it is time to listen
Be silent when you are tempted to make light of holy things
Be silent when you are tempted to joke about sin
Be silent if you would be ashamed of your words later
Be silent if you word would convey wrong impressio
Be silent if the issue is none of your business
Be silent if your words would damage ones reputation
Be silent if your word would damage friendship
Be silent if you can say it without screaming it
Be silent if your words of will be poor reflection of God on you
Be silent if you may have to eat your words later
Be silent if you already said it more than one time
Be silent when you are tempted to flattter a wicked person
Be silent when you are tempted

3 to be hanged!

A Delta state High Court has sentenced three men to death by hanging  – The three fellows kidnapped the boss of one of the conspirators  

– The convicts were also sentenced to 20 years imprisonment with hard labour  A Delta State High Court sitting in Effurun, last weekend convicted three persons, Augustin Akpojivi, Dawel James and Collins Enye, for the offence of kidnapping, illegal possession of firearms, demanding property with menace and stealing.‎ Consequent upon their conviction, the Court sentenced them to death by hanging on the offense of kidnapping, and also slammed 20 years imprisonment with hard labour on them on the three other counts of conspiracy to commit a felony to wit: kidnapping, illegal possession of firearms, demanding property with menace and stealing. ‎ Two oth‎er accused persons were however lucky as they escaped the death sentence, having been discharged and acquitted by the Court. The two discharged accused persons are the 1st and 5th accused, Samuel Okoloda and Precious Victor Ochuko, were acquitted for lack of sufficient evidence linking them to the crime by prosecution.art) The Prosecution had earlier told the Court that Dawel James, a driver by occupation, conspired with Augustin Akpojivi (29), also a driver, and Collins Enye (23), a commercial motorcycle rider; and others now at large, to kidnap his employer, one Rufus Uzoma Allwell, staff of Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company (WRPC), while armed with guns and demanded for a ransom of N2million before releasing their victim. The Court heard that Dawel James who was the driver to the kidnapped victim master minded the kidnap of his boss and received part of the N2million ransom paid by the elder brother of his boss. Reacting to the Court Judgement, the State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Barr Peter Mrakpor hails the Court verdict and expressed optimism that the judgement of the Court will send a strong signal to criminally minded persons in the State that it was not business as usual. He commended the exceptional courage displayed by witnesses in the matter who came out willingly without pressure to give evidence in Court during trial and called on others to emulate the patriotic spirit put forward by the Prosecution Witnesses.

10 proven nautical design ideas

Here are 10 proven winners for creating your very best nautical inspired environment in your coastal home. Any or all of these design ideas will go a long way toward the realization of your space. Give these nautical design ideas a try:

1.  Proper lighting plays a key role in any successful space.  For a nautical inspired space choose table and

lights light-up the space.

.

floor lamps that are functional, not just decorative. Place them near the task at hand. One of the best ways to create that old seafaring look is to select ship navigational and space light fixtures re-purposed into functional lighting. Rewired nautical wall sconces positioned on either side of a bathroom mirror can be very effective. Old re-purposed ship lanterns make great table lamps, and ship pennant lights, cage lights and passageway lights are top choices to light both your interior and exterior spaces.

2. Repetition of your theme will enforce your ideas.  If you are working with the idea of ‘sailing’ perhaps, select a piece of wall art featuring classic sailboats, a model of a sailboat on your mantel or table and navigational chart lampshades on your table lamps. Go a step further and include striped sailcloth on a piece of upholstered furniture. Of course not every element should be strictly about sailing but a good rule is to repeat an idea three times in any space.

3. Nautical colors, textures and finishes are typically borrowed from ships and yachts. Colors that associate well are described as sailcloth white,  pitch black, port red and starboard green and navy blue.  Wood selections include teak and mahogany, oak and maple. Brass, bronze, copper, aluminum, tin and galvanized metal, chrome and nickel finishes, both polished to a high shine or left verdigris for a weathered patina.  Use hemp and nylon line for edging surfaces- including black and navy blue nylon for a distinct yachting presence. Try navigational charts for a wall covering, especially in small areas like a bathroom or dressing room.

4. Dress up your kitchen and bathroom cabinets and furniture by selecting brass or nickel-plated cleats as

handles and pulls. It’s the perfect look for both hardwood and painted cabinet finishes. Hand-tied monkey’s fist or turk’s head knobs are perfect choices too!

5. Antique sea chests and select antique furniture fit well into the traditional New England style nautical environment. You may also want to consider custom made furniture using retired teak ship’s grates or hatch covers as tops for tables. These are both beautiful, functional and add a lot of character to the room. We’ve also used old ship’s doors, brass portholes and windows as tops for occasional and coffee tables too.

6. Nautical art for your walls can be more than just a print or a painting, though the perfect marine painting can be the focal point in your room. Framed black and white photographs of classic yachts and giclee prints after original paintings are usually more affordable ways to add in quality marine art.

7. For other wall art forms, consider a beautiful ships wheel, ship’s name, quarter and stern boards, old oars, a collection of half hulls of old sailing ships, folk and sailor marine carvings of whales and mermaids and even harpoons, representing  the days of whaling and seafaring days gone by. Victorian age sailor’s valentines were brought back from the island of Barbados as gifts for loved ones. Contemporary examples with great detail can be a great choice as well. Also, consider adding in the sound of the ringing of a ship’s bell clock.

8. Be selective when accessorizing your nautical room. We recommend using sextants or octants, spyglasses, on a bookshelf, boxed compasses, small scale models, wood blocks and smaller sailor-made carvings on table, desk and chest tops. Small collections work best grouped together in a tight assemblage.  You will make a stronger statement when they appear "en masse" as each one accents the other.  Think of a collection of ship-in-bottles, antique scrimshaw, or a grouping of items like vintage blocks from sailboats, compasses and other small maritime items placed together on a bookshelf or tabletop. Larger ship’s instruments like binnacles, telegraphs and ship wheels on stands are well suited to stand alone placed in a corner or as a centerpiece.  

9. Always select quality over quantity. A few authentic vintage or antique nautical items are better than a room-full of reproductions and nautical nick-knacks. A little can go a long way.

10. Don’t be afraid to take a photo of your space and ask for advice.  A qualified dealer can assist you with finding the right items to create the perfect nautical environment for your home or office.
