My Ma, ardent royalist, watched Kate and Wills wedding everyday for over five years until the ability to maintain interest in a narrative event departed, and it was fresh! and new! every time. My Pa said you could set your watch by her comment "He's good King George's great grandson you know" (KG6). This may not seem like much of a joke, but you have to make the most of what amusement there is to enjoy with those suffering this deterioration. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cromptonnut Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I came home the other day to find a note from the wife taped to the fridge, "It's not working, I'm leaving". I have no idea what she's talking about. I opened the door, the light came on, I checked the beer and it's still cold. 2 1 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_Hughes Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Either converted from a tender loco or based on a tender loco design, with the additional carrying wheels inserted to reduce the axle weight; Dennis Allenden built a fine model of something similar many years ago.

There looks like a skid brake between the front drivers which are connected to it by a massive spring. Perhaps the smaller wheels are to relieve stress on the frame when it is operated?

Jamiel Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I was driving down the motorway the other day behind a van with bright lights flashing. It was labelled ‘Escort Vehicle’. Personally I would have thought someone in that line of work would want to be a little more discreet. 1 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcredfer Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. A young student nurse appears and gives him a partial sponge bath. "Nurse,"' he mumbles from behind the mask, "are my testicles black?" Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet." He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, please check for me. Are my testicles black?" Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worrying about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back the covers. She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles gently in the other. She looks very closely and says, "There's nothing wrong with them, Sir. They look fine." The man slowly pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her, and says very slowly, "Thank you very much. That was wonderful. Now listen very, very closely: Are - my - test - results - back?"

RMweb Premium Sidecar Racer Posted February 20, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 20, 2019 Indian man said to the American: "We have problem in India . We can't marry the one whom we love. You know my parents are forcing me to get married to this so called homely and domesticated girl from a village whom I haven't even met once. We call this an arranged marriage. I don't want to marry a woman whom I don't love. I told my parents that openly and now have a hell of a lot of family problems." The American said: "Talking about love marriages, in America we can marry the one we love. Let me tell you my story. I married a widow whom I deeply loved and dated her for three years. After a couple of years, my father fell in love with my step-daughter and married her, so my father became my son-in-law and I became my father's father-in-law. Legally now my daughter is my mother and my wife is my grandmother. More problems occurred when I had a son. My son is my father's brother and so he is my uncle. The situation turned worse when my father had a son. Now my father's son, my brother, is my grandson. Ultimately, I have become my own grandfather and I am my own grandson. And you say you have family problems?" The Indian fainted ................ 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
