Hi jf2682, I would guess that at the age of 40 most folk finally begin to realise that most of what constrains ones behaviour is materialist-conformist nonsense. Things like the latest fashion, being seen with the right people (whoever they actually are?), washing the car on a Sunday, mortgages and creeping to the boss, non of which bring contentment in life.

Tread your own path !!! Gibbo. It also brings the realisation that you keep moving your wedding picture to the back of the mantlepiece, because the Flares you wore no longer have the same "fashion immunity" as they did 20 years earlier. However your father / mother will insist on placing the same picture at the front every time they visit - a gentle reminder of their advice to keep to clothes that would stand the passage of time. Julian PS. No I did not. They wouldn't let me have flares on my RAF uniform - apparently I should have joined the RN. 2 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post peanuts Posted March 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2019 Here's a belter A true story from the pages of the Manchester Evening News . . . Last week a passenger in a taxi heading for Salford station leaned over to ask the driver a question and gently tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the kerb and stopped just inches from a large plate window. For a few moments everything was silent in the cab. Then the shaking driver said "Are you OK? I'm so sorry, but you scared the daylights out of me." The badly shaken passenger apologized to the driver and said, "I didn't realise that a mere tap on the shoulder would startle someone so badly." The driver replied, "No, no, I'm the one who is sorry, it's entirely my fault. Today is my very first day driving a cab. I've been driving a hearse for 25 years." 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Sidecar Racer Posted March 28, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 28, 2019 Two confirmed bachelors sat talking. Their conversation drifted from politics to cooking. "I got a cookbook once," said the first, "But I could never do anything with it." "Too much fancy cooking in it, eh?" asked the second. "You said it," he replied, "Every one of the recipes began the same way - Take a clean dish and........." 1 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 At the end of the tax year the Tax Office sent an inspector to Audit the books of a Synagogue. While he was checking the books he turned to the Rabbi and said, "I notice you buy a lot of candles. What do you do with the candle drippings?" "Good question," noted the Rabbi. "We save them up and send them back to the candle makers, and every now and then they send us a free box of candles." Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer. But on he went, in his obnoxious way: "What about all these bread -wafer purchases? What do you do with the crumbs?" "Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi, realising that the inspector was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. "We collect them and send them back to the manufactures, and every now and then they send us a free box of bread wafers." "I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all Rabbi. "Well, Rabbi," he went on, "what do you do with all the leftover foreskins from the circumcisions you perform?" "Here, too, we do not waste," answered the Rabbi. "What we do is save all the foreskins and send them to the Tax Office, and about once a year they send us a complete prick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckymucklebackit Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 That is a variation of one I heard years ago.... After sixty years, a Rabbi decides to retire. Taking the box of foreskins he has collected over the years of doing circumcisions, he goes to a leather goods manufacturer and says to the man, "Can you do anything with these?" The man says, "No problem, come back in two weeks." After two weeks the rabbi returns to the shop, and is presented with a wallet. In total dismay, he says to the craftsman, "After sixty years, the best you can do is a wallet?" The man replies, "Don't worry, just rub it a few times and it will grow into a suitcase." 2 1 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Sidecar Racer Posted March 29, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 29, 2019 The Irish are always the first ones to come to the aid of their fellow man: Shortly after take-off on an outbound, evening Air Lingus flight from Dublin to Chicago, the lead flight attendant nervously made the following painful announcement in her lovely Irish brogue: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm so very sorry, but it appears that there has been a terrible mix-up by our catering service. I don't know how this has happened, but we have 103 passengers on board, and unfortunately, we received only 40 dinner meals. I truly apologize for this mistake and inconvenience. " When the muttering of the passengers had died down, she continued,"Anyone who is kind enough to give up their meal so that someone else can eat, will receive free and unlimited drinks for the duration of our 10 hour flight." Her next announcement came about 1/2 hour later: "If anyone is hungry, we still have 40 dinners available." 2 1 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Nothing" "That's Okay" & "Go ahead" are other words where you need to be on guard. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

graeme3300 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 This joke appeared in a Melbourne newspaper a few days ago . . . Should Brexit take place? English physicians are unable to reach a consensus. Allergists are in favour of scratching it, while dermatologists think it is a little rash. Neurologists thought May had a lot of nerve. Meanwhile, obstetricians felt everyone was labouring under a misconception. Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness. Radiologists could see right through it, and the surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole idea! 8 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckymucklebackit Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 It has been announced by Irish Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar of his intention to adopt the European standard of driving on the right hand side of the road after Brexit. During the period of the Backstop this will only apply to cars and motor cycles, with HGVs following suit once full Brexit has been agreed 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted April 5, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 5, 2019 The teacher was giving a lecture on the evils of drink. To demonstrate she poured out four glasses respectively of whisky, beer, wine and water. She then dropped a worm into each glass and within a short while the only one still alive was in the glass of water. She then asked the class "What does that demonstrate?" Little Johnny stood up and said "If you drink whiskey, beer and wine you won't get worms." 4 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
