The fan wouldn’t have passed the Grammar test…would she?!

smart bum!!
I pay tribute to Danny Kirwin - died on the 8th in London !
Good Norning gents.
I think I can speak for us all now!
Speaking of rubbish earlier Fruity, our bin collection fees went up three quid extra a month, they say it’s because the Chinese won’t take our recycled plastic anymore, I can’t figure that out, we’ve been taking their rubbish for decades now, every Dubliner my age remembers Hector Grey importer and exporter. Sorry Jimmy Wang, I’m Joe King.
Living in todays world we have accumulated more junk than ever before, they make us do it so we can pay them more to get rid of it again, take for example a TV, in the past you had only two wires going into a TV, the power and the aerial, now you can have a dozen feeding it with all sorts of gadgets and boxes, same with your computer, then you have remote controls for all this junk too, some folks even have them for the light and heating switches, too lazy to get up and switch off a light or a heater, is it any wonder everyone’s getting fat?
Also when a TV breaks down now it’s just chucked out and a new one bought, no more TV repair men, Phyllis’s dad was a TV repairman, God rest him, I can remember him going “back to school” learning all about the new fangled colour televisions when they came out first.
Some people have moved away & decided to take the opportunity to throw away some ‘marital aids’.
So carefully they boxed said items then bagged them up with the rest of their household rubbish, for the bin men.
While the collection was taking place 1 of them heard their mother-in-law, say from the kitchen “he’s waving a video from your bins”.
Realising what must have happened she was quickly moved from view. As one of them returned to the window they saw a bin man doing a particularly good impression of Edward Scissorhands, while holding some ‘aids’ in his hands.
A Dustbinman was walking down the street emptying bins when he comes up to the Happy Inn, and notices there is no bin outside. He spots a window open and shouts…
“Oi Mate, wheres your bin?”
This little chinaman pokes his head out
and says…
“I bin in Hong Kong”
“No mate, wheres your wheelie bin?” shouts the dustbin man
“I wheelie bin in Hong Kong!”
Wheres your bin?
I bin on the toilet
No, wheres your dustbin?
I told you a was on the toilet
No, you don’t understand, wheres you wheelie bin?
Ok I was wheelie having a ****!
oh yes and your message is to all us punks out here??
Went to RAF Cosford Airshow today, this is my 30th consecutive year of attendance, I usually cut through the back lanes to avoid the massive traffic jams, but I used the M54 today. When the queue on the hard shoulder started, the Sat Nav told me, there was 5.7 miles to the motorway junction I needed to exit on, my son was in his car behind me, so I called him, having noticed the yellow information sign said “Airshow traffic queue on hard shoulder, Airshow traffic lane one”, I said follow me, we passed the stationary vehicles on the hard shoulder, at a steady 40 mph ish, I had no intention of trying to cut in at the front, that does my head in, so, I don’t do it, my intention was to go straight on at the junction to the next junction, and double back, on the pretext that, there would be less traffic approaching in an easterly direction, but, bugger me, the outside lane on the exit slip road, was clear as a bell, there was no moral dilemma to be had.
Well done Spitty, you are a clever boy:lol:
2018 Bournemouth Air Festival will begin on
Thursday, 30 August
and ends on
Sunday, 2 September
I don’t remember any Air Shows over here, maybe we never had enough planes to stage one who knows. Excuse my ignorance but what’s the point of paying into an Air Show when all you have to do is stand outside and look up?;-)
I just cross over the road Jem.
Good for you Sweetie, a sudden thought flashed through my mind there of Michael O’Leary running an air display and forcibly blindfolding all the residents within a radious of ten miles.
The only very sad thing is, I saw that Red Arrow crash:cry:
Oh another thing Jem, I have a certificate of an ancestor.
Very old certificate, but he was born in Dublin. Little Britain street it says. Is it still there???
Jembo, Cosford is not a purists show, it is now more like a party in the park, which, I have grown to dislike, but, the FIL is in his 86th year, and, he too has partaken for over 30 consecutive years, so, as long as he is able to partake, the changed social situation, and the cost are, immaterial.
