National disgrace!

police

Today has been a bit strange. We have the police protesting about their, quite frankly disgraceful treatment by this corrupt excuse for a government of ours who have reneged over their signed and sealed pay deal,(which the Scottish force got at our expense), and we have the bizarre scenario of the police policing the police.

policing police

To me, this is a completely ridiculous state of affairs.

His excellency Gordon (the giver) Brown, has just signed a deal with India to give them £825 million!

Hello!! Am I missing something here?

Joke Tuesday.

Paddy is trying to catch fish through the ice.

Ice fisherman

He hears a loud booming voice say, "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!" Paddy says, "Is that you God?"

The voice replies, "No, you tw*t, I'm Barry, the F*CKING ICE RINK MANAGER!"

Pub news.

smoked salmon

We had a giggle today.

Di,our beloved landlady was hosting a christening. She had my friend the "smoker" do her some smoked salmon. His eldest son sliced the salmon up, wafer thin, and left some tail ends with fresh lemon for Jez to try.

However, things took a turn for the worse when Di, ever the perfectionist when it comes to cleanliness thought they were waste bits and chucked them in the bin.dustbin for salmon

Jez was not best pleased and obviously told us. So we had a little fun. "Pint please Di, and a packet of crisps". "What flavour?" "Salmon"! "You can b*llocks"!

What's in your dresser?

my dresser

This is our dresser, passed down at least two generations that I know of. The photos on the left are my fathers parents, the one on the right of that is my mum's mum,in the middle is my mum and dad with friends.

The silverware is solid silver, how old, I have yet to determine. The plates are original willow pattern.

Joke Tuesday.

Gordon

This joke is so crap, it's funny

Chicken politics....

Trevor, the farmer,was in the fertilised egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens),called 'pullets' and eight or so roosters, whose job it was to fertilise the eggs. The farmer kept records, and any rooster that didn't perform went into the soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot of time so he bought a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by listening to the bells.

The farmer's favourite rooster was old Gordon, and a very fine specimen he was too. But on this particular morning Trevor noticed that old Gordon's bell hadn't rung at all! Trevor went to investigate. The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. But to Trevors amazement, Gordon had his bell in his beak, so it didn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.

Trevor was so proud of Gordon, he entered him in the West Berkshire county fair and Gordon became an overnight sensation with the judges.

The result: Gordon won the No Bell Piece Prize, and the ultimate Pulletsurprise as well!

Clearly Gordon was a politician in the making....who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention?!!

old grumpy gitSorry to butt in. My blogpage is down at the moment. Last night somebody must have hacked their way into our server, or somewhere, and found some of the names and passwords. They then put pornography and vile language onto several pages, including mine. Until we find out how they breached the security and "closed the hole", so to speak, my page will remain off. Sorry for any inconvenience (as if!)

I will now return you to the studio, over to you John, as they say on TV!

Smokin' !

Picture the scene in the pub on Sunday lunchtime. Keith is chatting to Nikki, Charlie is staring vacantly out of the window, Steve is worried about Paul because he has to go to work on a Sunday, John G is dozing in his wheelchair after consuming vast amounts of "Pedigree" beer and Don is propping up the bar talking to Stu.


Di, our lovely landlady, asked Don if he would 'smoke' a couple of sides of salmon for a bit of a "do" she is arranging next week.


Don, you may recall, is our local genius at smoke-curing wild pigeon breasts, and is considered to be an a bit of an expert when it comes to cooking breasts.


"Yes, of course I will" he said. To which Di replied "I've got them in the fridge out the back at the moment"


"Don't let me forget them" Don said.


"No", said Di, "I'll get them out for you when you are ready to go".


Now my hearing is not so good these days, but I hope she meant the salmon steaks!

We need a chauffeur for a multi-millionaire, which includes looking after his twin nymphomaniac daughters whilst on overseas trips. It comes with a salary of £200,000 a year".
