PKK Kocamustafapaşa Bomb Blast

In Istanbul the traffic is a nightmare at the best of times, and Friday evening was no exception, it was horrendous!

I was travelling to Birnurs house in Kocumustafapaşa by taxi when I received a telephone call from Birnur telling me that the roads in her suburb are closed due to a bomb blast and she would need to instruct the taxi driver which direction to take me.

What The! Oh, of course, just another bomb blast, nothing too worrying, I mean it was only just under 1 kilometre from Birnurs house! Just another PKK blast to kill and injure Turkish people. Just lovely! Man these people are cowards!

Anyway, suffice to say, I made it to Birnurs house safely and with a minimum of fuss but the whole bomb blast situation really makes me nervous, particularly when it is so close to our homes, in particular, Birnurs home!

In an article posted by the Turkish Daily News (Turkeys only English based daily gazette) the whole situation seems soo blaze...I mean, here is the extract on this shocking event, "A bomb blast in Istanbul late on Friday, claimed by a radical Kurdish group as a reprisal for the victims, killed one person and left about a dozen others injured."

That's the sum and total of the news reporting that I saw on the topic, quite amazing if you ask me! Anyway, I stayed at Birnurs house on the Friday evening so we could wake early to visit more potential wedding venues. Not much else to report for that evening!

Joke - A Beer before it starts

A man came home from work, sat down in his favorite chair, turned on the TV, and said to his wife, "Quick, bring me a beer before it starts."
She looked a little puzzled, but brought him a beer.
When he finished it, he said, "Quick, bring me another beer. It's gonna start."
This time she looked a little angry, but brought him a beer. When it was gone, he said, "Quick, another beer, it's gonna start any second."
"That's it!" She blows her top, "You bastard! You waltz in here, flop your fat ass down, don't even say hello to me and then expect me to run around like your slave. Don't you realize that I cook and clean and wash and iron all day long?"
The husband sighed.

"Oh shit, it's started"

Joke - Two men camping

Two men camping in the mountains had spent four days together, and they were getting a little testy. One morning, the first friend says, "You know, we're starting to get on each other's nerves. Why don't we split up today. I'll hike north and spend the day looking around, you hike south and spend the day. Then tonight, we'll have dinner and share our experiences over the campfire."
The second friend agrees and hikes south. The first man hikes north.
That night over dinner, the first man tells his story: "Today I hiked into a beautiful valley. I followed a stream up into a canyon and ate lunch. Then I swam in a crystal clear mountain lake. As I sat out and
dried, I watched deer come and drink from the stream. The wildflowers were filled with butterflies and hawks floated all day overhead. How was your day?"
The second friend says, "I went south and ran across a set of railroad tracks. I followed them until I came across a beautiful young woman tied to the tracks. I cut the ropes off, gently lifted her off the tracks, and I had sex with her in every imaginable way all afternoon. Finally, when I was so tired I could barely move, I came back to camp."
"Wow!!" the first guy exclaimed, "Your day was MUCH better than mine. Did you get a blow job, too?"
"Nah," says the second friend over his meal, "I couldn't find her head."
