Subject: FW: Patrick - one of the best Irish jokes yet Patrick walks into a bar in Dublin, Orders three pints of Guinness & sits in the corner of the room, Drinking a sip out of each pint in turn. When he had finished all three, He went back to the bar & ordered three more. The barman says, "You know a pint goes flat soon after I pull it ........... Your pint would taste better if you bought one at a time." Patrick replies, "Well now, I have two brodders, one is in America ; & de odder in Australia ; & here I am in Dublin When we all left home, we promised dat we'd drink dis way to remember de days we all drank togedder." The barman admits that this is a nice custom & says no more. Patrick becomes a regular customer, & always drinks the same way ...... Ordering three pints & drinking a sip out of each in turn, until they are finished. One day, he comes in & orders just two pints. All the other regulars in the bar notice! & fall silent. When he goes back to the bar for the second round, The barman says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief but I wanted to offer my condolences on your great loss." Patrick looks confused for a moment, then the penny drops & he starts to laugh, "Oh no," he says, "Bejesus, everyone is fine! Tis me, ...................... I've Quit Drinking!"

Yep .... they weren't in Scotland lol

Must say these shoppers were suprised lol.

Nice set up. Wish I had the room. OK it would probably be as smart as yours, but gives one an added appreciation and hence more zealous attitude to do well I believe.

I think you always will Walt. Yet I'd wager, 10 to 0ne that any and every site that tries, or has tried it has seen a massive dwindling of numbers, and further very few new members joined. It is really of no account. It is the content and what the post that is all important. I, like most, wouldn't care if it was a urangtang from the moon posting if I, oe others benefitted or enjoyed the post. Like melol, I must be one of the least read posts there is. My name of course is Roland. I bet if I posted as 'Stirrer' my posts would be read a lot more straight of. Hassle and a bit of gossip, heated debates are like thecorn to chickens in a farn yard... It draws them to it. Now who wants theirselves to be the corn lol. :egyptian:

I'm not frighten to tell him ... pass the phone over lol :emoticon-0136-giggle:

I hope that aren't targetting the RSPB. lol :emoticon-0136-giggle: No of course not, they would be lining up to do that for free lol. :emoticon-0140-rofl:

Simple, why do you? Surely if you don't feel inclined to... then you don't. But very many, indeed a large %cent wouldn't post at all if having to use their real name. Indeed very many wouldn't join - but view only - if not able to use an non de plume. WHY? SIMPLE THAT! FOR MANY VARIOUS REASONS. If A NAME... Ridicule, slagging... or if not SAME. Beside Abuse. Very many have seen it, or felt it, MOST don't want any, or invite any! So I full heartedly am all for Non de Plumes. Further in a short time MOST are known just who they are etc. And if one wants to say 'BUT they can insult / abuse without using their oewn name - which they wouldn't do BUT I doubt that too - they are quickly controlled and sorted via the Mods. So yes Non de plumes are a must, indeed a boon. Because this, and every other site wouldn't be half as good, or used... indeed probly just a forum of braggants speaking and uttering senile and senseless banter. Been on very many site and NONE have every been sucessfull in trying to get people to use own name... indeed instead of 'Pen Names' at best just aliases. Never have I seen, or will it happen, it's a no goer, and before anyone asks the question 'What to Hide' 'If genuine' etc. they have no fundemental logic. Because nigh most wish not to be abused, drawn into slanging matchess, and that is the very reason it works best with pen names and MODS sorting untoward calling etc. IT is, and would be far far worst if everyone used their real names on open forum, because friends / history etc. would quickly be brought in, and membership dwindle rapidly.

'Prince Jackson was getting yearlings from 1000 miles turn of last centuary. Don't think his times of 3 plus days are the quickest now though. We Flew Rome - organised by Bilco.... but it was a hard pull that one. Bilco says he wouldn't organise one again, and returns weren't great. But they had to contend with a very hot and hostile heat, then the mountains etc. due to wind directions etc. etc. Of course in China, where they have the land they are often sending - believe 3000 miles, but would have to check that out. Whilst in Canada I helped set up the Pickle Lake - also the 'Distance Day' to promote pigeons. Many flew / Fly the 1000 miles. Billy Taylor tried thebreadsth of the USA... Sent two, but as of now, I don't think he got either. Of course they don't cr5oss water. ... The Lakes are taboo too the feeling being 'Why'.

I must admit, had me fuel payment docked 20% - or if added 25%... But was really suprised to get £114 ...

What a row. I hope he got paid well for murder a Tune and what not... Yeah he certainly 'Distroyed' that ... But think it was below the belt lol :emoticon-0136-giggle:

T H E Jewish E L B O W A Jewish grandmother is giving directions to her grown grandson who is coming to visit with his wife. "You come to the front door of the apartment. I am in apartment 301. There is a big panel at the front door. With your elbow , push button 301. I will buzz you in. Come inside, the elevator is on the right. Get in, and with your elbow , push 3. When you get out, I'm on the left. With your elbow , hit my doorbell." "Grandma, that sounds easy, but, why am I hitting all these buttons with my elbow? ......... "What . . . .. .. You coming empty handed?" _______________________________________________ Wise Italian Grandfather Why Italian Fathers and Grandfathers pass their handguns down through the family................. An old Italian man is dying. He calls his grandson to his bedside, Guido, I wan' you lissina me. I wan' you to take-a my chrome plated .38 revolver so you will always remember me."

Am sadden, so very very sad. My thoughts go to all his family and friends.

Dave Chamerlon was out jogging one morning along the path near the thames when he tripped, fell over the bridge railing and landed in the River. Before the body guard guys could get to him, 3 kids who were fishing pulled him out of the water. He was so grateful he offered the kids whatever they wanted. - Bit hard to believe I know - The first kid said, I want to go to Disney World & David said, 'No problem, I'll take you there in my Royal Air Force plane. The second kid said, I want a new pair of Nike Air Jordan shoes. Dave said, I'll get them for you and even have Michael Jordan sign them. The third kid said, I want a motorized wheelchair with a built in TV and stereo headset. David was a little perplexed by this and said, but you don't look like you're handicapped. The kid said 'No! But I will be after my dad finds out I saved you from drowning'. :egyptian:

You know, never mind the whinging and moaning about snow. It is good. And remember, especially as we are supposedly having a drought, tnough in reality just another feable excuse to hyke up water prices. Those old enough - when it was around from about the end of October to nearly or in April nigh. Just how much fun we kids had. I for one certainly loved it, and wouldn't for a moment not want the youngsters today from having the same enjoyment. Roads did get frozen over and high drifts..../ BUT traffic contyinued and wsn't tail backs and what not. Remember too the road in use in the 50's 60's etc. were what we now call c roads / or back roads. A cissy nation lol.

Mind was a couple of tips there that made me smile. Secret #4: HOMING & NAVIGATION QUALITIES Breed from birds that have the "Compass" or "Homing Instinct." If a pigeon can't home, how can you expect it to win? There is still no consensus on how a bird homes and navigates. It is a matter upon which we can only speculate. It is important to recognize that a racing pigeon must and does navigate. The bird must have the ability to orient itself and to maintain its course. The intelligent pigeons apparently have no trouble finding the most direct route home, and they are able to adjust to different types of conditions (weather). Therefore, place high value on a bird that has come home time after time after hard races, when there are no day birds nor birds home in normal race times. Like a mate said to me in all earnest honesty 'Roly, those pigeons that fly both North and South races are the ones you want to keep' - I fly my birds to the race I want, suits on any given day regardless of route --- I smile becuase the ones that are left are the ones that do it ... the others are lost lol. But some good foundation tips there. Logical sense I believe.

A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper, Enzo, has cheated him out of 10 million bucks. His bookkeeper is deaf. That was the reason he got the job in the first place. It was assumed that Enzo would hear nothing that he might have to testify about in court. When the Godfather goes to confront Enzo about his missing $10 million, he takes along his lawyer who knows sign language. The Godfather tells the lawyer, "Ask him where the 10 million bucks is that he embezzled from me." The lawyer, using sign language, asks Enzo where the money is.. Enzo signs back, "I don't know what you are talking about." The lawyer tells the Godfather, "He says he doesn't know what you are talking about." The Godfather pulls out a pistol, puts it to Enzo's temple and says, "Ask him again!" The lawyer signs to Enzo, "He'll kill you if you don't tell him." Enzo signs back, "OK. You win! The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed in my cousin Bruno's backyard in Woodbridge!" The Godfather asks the lawyer, "What did he say?" The lawyer replies, "He says you don't have the balls to pull the trigger." Don't you just LOVE lawyers?! Brings tears to your eyes! -------------------------------------------------------------------- "If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert , in five years there would be a shortage of sand.†~ Milton Friedman~

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard when he lives in the jungle without a razor? Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat? Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they know there is not enough? Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets? Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet? Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'lisp'? What is the speed of darkness? Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up every two hours? If the temperature is zero outside today and it's going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be? Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer? How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage? Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground? Did you ever stop and wonder....... Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze these pink dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?' Who was the first person to say, 'See that chicken there... I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta it's bum.' Why do toasters always have a setting so high that could burn the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat? Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer? Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their bum when they ask where the bathroom is? Why does your Gynaecologist leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway? Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs ! If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests? If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from? If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons? Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune? Stop singing and read on...... Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup? Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window? Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster? Do you ever wonder why you gave me your e-mail address in the first place? Some motor bikers were passing over a bridge when they saw a girl threathening to jump and comitt suicide. They stop being concerned The leader, a big burly man, gets off his bike and says, "What are you doing?" "I'm going to commit suicide," she says. He wants to distract her, so he says the first thing that pops into his head. "Well, before you jump, why don't you give me a kiss? At least you go out with a nice memory, eh?" She thinks for a moment and then she gives him a long, deep, lingering kiss. After she's finished, the biker says, "Wow! That was the best kiss I have ever had. That's a real talent you are wasting. You could be famous. Why are you committing suicide?" "My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl."

Well there are many Scots in Westminster. I have no problem at all Scotland / Wales or Ireland having their independence and become self governing .... Just wish we didn't have to substiside them so much. And please, please don't hark on about North sea oil... It isn't a part of Scotland. It isnt, nor ever was Scottish money in any way shape or form that survey, and put into place. Indeed like the shetland Islands - still I believe - it is a part of England, like Lerwick is and has an English address. Indeed the realism is in fact good reading here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Sea_oil

This silly talk of not able to get the banks to pay up a decent amount back to us and clear WHAT they Owe, because they are threathening to take OUR money overseas - who are mostly all in debt - is just that crap and a lame excuse. If the bank of England commondaire a few buildings and set up one or two in the high street and LET it be known the 'Blackmail' going on - which this goverment is not only fully aware of, but tow in hand with - . Stated Bring your accounts / money here for at least the same, or indeed far better deals... the banks wouldn't be able to come to terms and pay it back quick enough.

Aye, and the Chameleon and co endorsed the Labour party in lending £175 billion to the thieving banking rats. IT wasn't a labour party problem,,,, just one that had to be dealt with. With out that we wouldn't have a problem. Mind if they paid it back as was supposed to then the would cancell out the £158 billion we still are borrowing. Mind the Billionaire are in real terms better of by an average of £333,000,000.... and we are all in ity to gether. This is how the Tories work out who pays... Want to understand the Eurozone's finances...And, the USA's for that matter? Here is it explained using a simple story ... Mary is the proprietor of a bar in Dublin. She realises that virtually all of her customers are unemployed alcoholics and, as such, can no longer afford to patronise her bar. To solve this problem, she comes up with a new marketing plan that allows her customers to drink now, but pay later. She keeps track of the drinks consumed on a ledger (thereby granting the customers loans). Word gets around about Mary's "drink now, pay later" marketing strategy and, as a result, increasing numbers of customers flood into Mary's bar. Soon she has the largest sales volume of any bar in Dublin. By providing her customers freedom from immediate payment demands, Mary gets no resistance when, at regular intervals, she substantially increases her prices for wine and beer, the most consumed beverages. Consequently, Mary's gross sales volume increases massively. A young and dynamic vice-president at the local bank recognises that these customer debts constitute valuable future assets and increases Mary's borrowing limit. He sees no reason for any undue concern, since he has the debts of the unemployed alcoholics as collateral. At the bank's corporate headquarters, expert traders figure a way to make huge commissions, and transform these customer loans into DRINKBONDS, ALKIBONDS and PUKEBONDS. These securities are then bundled and traded on international security markets. Naive investors don't really understand that the securities being sold to them as AAA secured bonds are really the debts of unemployed alcoholics. Nevertheless, the bond prices continuously climb, and the securities soon become the hottest-selling items for some of the nation's leading brokerage houses. One day, even though the bond prices are still climbing, a risk manager at the original local bank decides that the time has come to demand payment on the debts incurred by the drinkers at Mary's bar. He so informs Mary. Mary then demands payment from her alcoholic patrons, but being unemployed alcoholics they cannot pay back their drinking debts. Since, Mary cannot fulfill her loan obligations she is forced into bankruptcy. The bar closes and the eleven employees lose their jobs. Overnight, DRINKBONDS, ALKIBONDS and PUKEBONDS drop in price by 90%. The collapsed bond asset value destroys the banks liquidity and prevents it from issuing new loans, thus freezing credit and economic activity in the community. The suppliers of Mary's bar had granted her generous payment extensions and had invested their firms' pension funds in the various BOND securities. They find they are now faced with having to write off her bad debt and with losing over 90% of the presumed value of the bonds. Her wine supplier also claims bankruptcy, closing the doors on a family business that had endured for three generations, her beer supplier is taken over by a competitor, who immediately closes the local plant and lays off 150 workers. Fortunately though, the bank, the brokerage houses and their respective executives are saved and bailed out by a multi-billion euro no-strings attached cash infusion from their cronies in Government. The funds required for this bailout are obtained by new taxes levied on employed, middle-class, non-drinkers who have never been in Mary's bar. Now, do you understand economics in 2010-11? The arrogant Osbourne certainly does.... we pay!

It is a flipping cheek this goverment trying to slag of the workers. Telling them that their co workers are to be laid of, they must work longer hours for less pay and do extra years....... Yep this Government wants to shift the balance of blame from the people that caused the austerity to the working man and woman. But it is the bankers and the bosses who have gambled with our country's future and you should not have to tolerate a worse pension and be forced to work longer to make up for their mistakes.
