Colin Lindsay Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 13 hours ago, Vanadium23 said: The title brought back memories of an advert that used to be placed by a small engineering firm every few months in the local paper “ Wanted - women for cleaning” That Reminds ME of the one where the old man walks into a newspaper office and asks to place an advert, which he is told costs £1. "I've only got 30p" he replies. The receptionist relents due to his advanced age and hands him an insertion form, whereupon he thinks for a bit then writes: "Marge is Dead." The receptionist thinks this is terrible, the poor man can't afford to write a proper death notice, so she tells him he can have three more words free. He thinks for a time then writes: "Herald for sale." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unkel Kunkel Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Ha ! like it. Brevity in Newspaper headlines also used to be the thing of ? the Sun or the News of the World, I forget which. The story goes of a report of a psychotic patient breaking free from a secure unit pausing en route to sexually assault one of the female domestic staff working in the laundry before escaping from the hospital. Next morning the Sun’s headlines were “ Nut Screws Washer and Bolts”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppyman Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Talking of jokes. Two little old ladies were walking through town, when they were confronted by a naked male flasher..... One was reported to have had a stroke.... The other sadly could not reach. Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it’s worth £108 I need to find it ???? Dad gave me the book yesterday to give to my daughter who has just passed her test. Just looked inside and it is first edition from 1970! ?

dougbgt6 Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 I'm told Pete has no problem keeping it up. With 40+ members per meeting there's a pretty good return on the raffle. When our beloved leader Mark handed over the reins of power to me, he gave me the ceremonial Tesco bag. Within were the signing book, some documents and two brown envelopes containing £240 cash that he'd been carting around in the bag for 10 years. Old tenners, old fivers and old twenties, all ex currency this was from when we used to have 40 members and raffles. Fortunately the bank were OK with it and East Berks has funds! Maybe a good raffle at the Christmas dinner? Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Liz Hurley was quoted just this week as "It doesn't matter what size you are, as long as you keep firm." I believe she was talking about weight and fitness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Think yourself lucky Pete, you have been like this bloke. After my recent prostate exam, which, I must say, was the most thorough I've ever had, the doctor left and the nurse came in. As she shut the door, she asked me a question I didn't want to hear. She said... "Who was that guy who just left?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Underwood Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 I've got a copy that was given to me by my Godmother after her husband died. Superb book, highly recommended! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
