Want to Play?........

I found this on Mrs Nesbitt's site, I told her I was pinching it so I don't think she'll mind me sharing it with you. It's great fun, go and have a play.

Oh, and someone sent me the Alternative Olympic Logo for 2012. What do you think?
Sums up the other one in my opinion!









Also, when I did the "Eight Random facts about my town" the other day I missed out the funniest one.


Heywood is known locally as MONKEY TOWN. Apparently stools with a hole in the middle used to be made here, and folk from neighbouring towns used to say it was so that Heywood folk could put their tails through the hole when they sat down because they were monkeys!
Just for the record I was born in Manchester and didn't come to live here until I was 13!

You've been there long enough!

Feeling a bit sad today, think you have been where I've just been. So can I just remind you I love you and don't ever forget...

That's the last one, there's nothing else to say about Heywood, apart from it's a one horse town!

They did a poll on the Olympic Logo and very few people liked it, there was a much better one - simple and classy. The alternative I've posted says it all - SHIT! (Pardon my French).

Don't be sad honey, it'll all be OK. I love you too and I'm here for you. x

letha said...

I agree with the revised Olympic logo

Lo Kelween said...

the "SHIT" would be great if the color of the wording matches with chocolate...haha...just kidding...:P

Great I'll do a post about it and hopefully 'The Experiment' will get some votes.

I think the counter I've got is fixed!! :)

It's one of those compulsive things alright!

Tammy said...

I know what you mean!

CG said...

Love the alternative logo and the fun dancing sketch!!

RUTH said...

I've had no luck getting into the site...my pc can be tempremental sometimes. The Olympic logo is a classic...and bet it was cheaper than the one being used for real!
The Eagles song is so lovely btw....in fact I always like your music choices.

Akelamalu said...

Glad you like.:)

Oh that's a shame, but you probably would have spent too long there anyway - I did!
I'm sure the alternative logo cost a lot cheaper than the real one.
Glad you like the music chuck.

Mark said...

That prity much sums up the official one....

I HAVE SEEN ONE OF THOSE STOOLS, BUT I MISINTERPRETED WHAT THE HOLW WAS FOR....

Linda said...

Okay, well what exactly was the hole in the middle of the stool for then? Or do I not want to know the answer to that??

Akelamalu said...

mark
Correct!

Akelamalu said...

steve
You have monkeys over there too?

Akelamalu said...

Linda
Your guess is as good as mine.:(

Anonymous said...

Annelisa said...

This logo is definately an improvement on the original (not hard though...)
