I see the real environmental problem being that fossil fuels are running out. At least that means that any global warming will be limited as we are forced to run down our consumption!

Now they’re talking about building MORE gas-fired power stations. When they decided in the 80’s to build lots of ‘clean’ gas-fired power stations, that resulted…[Read more]

I doubt if the figure is as high as 8 out of 10 but the BNP could be experiencing what happened with Ian Paisley’s DUP in Northern Ireland. The DUP was seen as the hard-line wing of unionism but as the mainstream unionists sat down to tea with Sinn Feinn-IRA, loyalist voters deserted them and flocked to the DUP which is now the biggest party…[Read more]

“We are a grandmother” – Margaret Thatcher when she became a granny.

“Je ne regret rien” – Norman Lamont

“Ambulance drivers are just glorified van-drivers!” – Kenneth Clark

“The miners, united, will never be defeated!” – Arthur Scargill????

I like the one where Paul and Barry get to play bingo and when they win they choose the caller’s bingo ball machine as their prize. The caller lets them have it just to get rid of them. On the way home they leave it outside a cafe where the very short-sited chef mistakes it for a new cooker he’s expecting to be delivered. He plugs it in and…[Read more]

Don’t the Chuckle Brothers come from Rotherham? I have to confess I find them much funnier than some sitcoms meant for grown-up viewers!!!!!

To me…to you…to me….d-d-d-d-doh! Now look what you’ve done!

This probably says something about my individualism!!!!

When I was a lorry driver I used to worry about the brakes failing going down a hill with a full load.

People who insist on standing right next to you and talking while eating noisily!

People who habitually sing along to any music they hear including jingles on the radio and TV.

Old people in supermarkets who get in the way while comparing two identical jars of Nescafe to see which is best.

Haven’t you heard we’re not allowed to celebrate Valentine’s any more? Muslims are rioting in India and burning piles of Valentine goods. Even some Hindus are joining in. I kid you not.

Hadn’t thought of that one, LOL, though I had thought of the ‘little black dress’ connotations. Fortunately I am quite slim and I’ve still got a hint of last summer’s tan left!

Slimmer and blacker actually meant a Dell with a slimline monitor!!

My work has flexible hours, reasonable pay, I can work at home quite often, people are OK to work with, I can listen to the radio while I work, there’s not much pressure so I shouldn’t have anything moan about. But I do………..it’s very boring. Each day I go to work I know that nothing interesting is going to happen between the time I get…[Read more]

I’m glad Chantelle won. She gets a 5-star gorgeous rating!

She’d be good on Quiz Call TV!!!

I can’t stand Big Brother either, as a rule, but……

A picture of a Brutsch Mopetta – one of the smallest cars ever made – makes a Reliant Robin look like a tank.

I think the idea is to show the pic
but in this case you did right

I would but I couldn’t get the link to work

Here it is – I have no idea who the people are, I just like the quirky pic!

I don’t think our hollowed out CD player has a long term future but it makes a novelty item with lots of sharp bits inside for the unwary to scratch their fingers on as they sift the Quality Streets or Roses to make sure they don’t get a hard toffee in gold wrapper.

I’d be the first to agree that greater things have been achieved in the world of…[Read more]

Wonderful caricature of the essence of Ebay! I have sold a few things on Ebay and I bought a replacement foglamp for my Passat on there too!

Chico could team up with the Cheeky Girls to form a trio!

Get them to come and look at the huge vat of mashed potato you’re processing as part of a catering venture. When they are leaning over to admire the potato, give them a shove.

Why not buy your own van and set up as a self-employed driver? Perhaps that’s not financially possible right now but it might be something worth working towards.

Dogs probably do get sore throats, it’s just that they are stoical creatures and carry on barking depite the pain. When you’ve gotta bark you’ve gotta bark!
