A joke on Wednesday.

WHY MEN HAVE BETTER FRIENDS!

Friendship between women:

A woman didn't come home one night. The next day she told her husband that she had stayed at a friend's house. The husband called his wife's 10 best friends. None of them knew a thing about it.

Friendship between women:

A man didn't come home one night. The next day he told his wife that he had stayed at a friends house. The woman called 10 of her husband's best friends. Eight of them confirmed that he had stayed, and two claimed he was still there!

A lesson learnt.

No joke today, the ones I have are not clean enough!

I thought I'd share this with you.

My Irish friends(no slight on the Irish) son bought a laptop off E-Bay. It worked fine for a week and then, nothing. I got a call asking if OBE-WAN, my computer guru would have a look at it.

Here are the results:

1: The hard disk is bad and a replacement is about £50. It is not an original disk and appears to have been changed before...screws missing, bent pins etc.

2: The battery is shot...about£100.

3: If a new disk was installed there is no guarantee the rest will work. The charger plug is not aligned properly, so doesn't work. The CD drive is not fitted correctly. From this I assume someone with no idea has butchered it.

Recommendation.
Bin it and buy a new one. The carry case it's in is worth more than the laptop!

Don't buy anything electrical without looking at it first.
Here endeth the lesson.

Preview of fun Monday

Chrisb invited me to join karmyns fun Monday. A craft themed thingy. Here is my entry. I painted this in 1979.

Makeover.

Trigger has had this week off work, which means I've had to put up with him for an hour or so every lunch in the pub. Now this is not such a bad thing, as I get some ammo for my blog. Today was a good oppurtunity.
Trigger came in sporting a smart new haircut. He said he wanted a change. A makeover.
Emma, the barmaid said that it would be like that T.V. programme........Scrapheap Challenge!

Trigger laughed, he's a good sport!

Joke Tuesday

I hereby take no respoibility for this joke, blame KEITH.

What's brown. smells and comes out of cows?













The Isle of Wight ferry!

Steamers

Trigger, as you may have read here has been listening, but not absorbing talk about steaming food. Today, one of the lads bought a surplus to requirements steamer and gave it to Trigger.

"Thanks, what do I owe you?"

"Nothing, it's yours".

"Cheers, are there any instructions?"

"No, but you'll be ok, it's twat proof."

Bank Holiday poser #2

Now I know this may not be your subject, so googling is allowed.

FOUR horse race courses in England that DO NOT have the letters ' RACE ' in them.

Toodle pip, answer tomorrow'ish!

Bank Holiday.

A little poser for you all.

Bank Holiday.

Take these letters and name one city in England that contains NONE of them.

There is only one.

Good luck, and no googling!!

Culinary Education.

I know a lot of you are excellent cooks/chefs, and a few of the locals in the pub are fairly handy.

One of the lads has just bought a steamer, and was asking OBE WAN for some advice about cooking times for veg. Trigger was listening in, as usual. OBE WAN gave his advice, which Pete the builder (another character Beccy) accepted.

"That sounds easy". said Trigger. "Can I do my beef in there as well?"

DOH!!!!!!!!
