An American touring Spain stopped at a local restaurant following a day of sightseeing. While sipping his sangria, he noticed a sizzling, scrumptious looking platter being served at the next table. Not only did it look good, the smell was wonderful. He asked the waiter, "What is that you just s...

A US Marine squad was marching north of Basra when they came upon an Iraqi terrorist, badly injured and unconscious. On the opposite side of the road was an American Marine in similar but less serious state. The Marine was conscious and alert and as first aid was given to both men, the squad leader ...

Some years ago my son gave me a desk agenda called forgotten English, with a different word for each day. EG, Jan 24, CLOCK FACES A favourite name for the small circles of ice formed upon a pool when it begins to freeze over. (Frances Taylor's Folk-Speech of South Lancashire, 1901) The one for Kath...

:lol: :lol: :lol: John was this really broadcast?? I believe so, and it seems that there were other shows that ran quite close to the acceptable limits. I have a friend who worked on a children's programme with Jim Davison, Rainbow Theatre or something similar, and she said that they tried to work ...

A Ronnie Barker classic This was originally shown on on BBC TV back in the seventies. Ronnie Barker could say all this without a snigger (though god knows how many takes). Irony is that they received not one complaint. The speed of delivery must have been too much for the whining herds. Try getting ...

When everybody on Earth was dead and waiting to enter Paradise, God appeared and said, "I want the men to make two lines, one line for the men who were true heads of their household, and the other line for the men who were dominated by their women. I want all the women to report to St Peter.&qu...

A man is sitting in an airplane which is about to takeoff, when another man with a Labrador Retriever occupies the 2 empty seats beside him. The Labrador is situated in the middle, and the first man is looking quizzically at the dog, when the second man explains that they work for the airline. The a...

There were two nuns... One of them was known as Sister Mathematical (SM), and the other one was known as Sister Logical (SL). It is getting dark and they are still far away from the convent. SM: Have you noticed that a man has been following us for the past thirty-eight and a half minutes? I wonder ...

For some, not a joke, but where else does it go? Also, maybe not relevant or recognisble to those from the frozen north, but those lucky enough to live in better climates may recognise the routine. BBQ season. After 4 long months of cold and winter, we are finally coming up to summer and BBQ season....

Anyone who is an Old Blue and is on the Association's database will get the magazine. If you don't know, the easiest way is probably to phone Wendy Killner to see if you are in the database. If you get Housey then you should be registered, but I know they are still struggling with the various OB dat...

I knew that, I was just giving more info.

Everyone is so serious these days.

Ian is still alive, at least he was at our junior school reunion in 2002. He is on the University of Nottingham web site. When I met him, for the first time for time in 36 years, he seemed much as I remember him, just a bit older. I believe that after he qualified he went into teaching, but where, I...

I'm a fairly neutral character so don't worry about this sort of thing.
You may remember Alfred E Neuman of Mad fame, a red head, almost like me, whose always said "Wot, me Worry?"
Seems a pretty good philosophy.

As you probably know, the closer you are to a project, the less you see of it's imperfections. Working from Spain with a someone located in Sussex, setting it up in Quark ...
