*WARNING* The following video of the bull run in Pamplona, Spain, is graphic and violent.

What possesses these knuckleheads to participate in such lunacy?

How Spain Gets Rid of Stupid People

Regret to say it just about explains the state the country is in.
The Queen's Riddle



David Cameron asked the Queen,
"Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient commonwealth and government?
Are there any tips you can give me?"

"Well," said the Queen,
"The most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."

David Cameron then asked,
"But how do I know if the people around me are really intelligent?"

The Queen took a sip of champagne.
"Oh, that's easy; you just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle, watch me and listen"
The Queen pushed a button on her intercom.
"Please send Prince Charles in here, would you?"
Prince Charles walked into the room and said,
"Yes, Mum?"



The Queen smiled and said to Charles,

"Answer me this please Charlie.
Your mother and father have a child.
It is not your brother and it is not your sister.
Who is it?"

Without pausing for a moment, Prince Charles answered

"That would be me."

"Yes! Very good." said the Queen.

Ah Ha I get it said David, thank you Mam !
And in a great rush he left.

David Cameron went back to Parliament
He decided to ask Nick Clegg the same question.
"Nick, answer this for me."

"Your mother and your father have a child.
It's not your brother and it's not your sister.
Who is it?"

"I'm not sure," said Nick Clegg.
And then in True Nick Clegg Style he went on to say.

"Let me get back to you on that one."

He went to his advisors and asked everyone, but none could give him an answer.

Frustrated, Nick went to the toilet, and found Nigel Farage in there.

Nick Clegg went up to Nigel Farage and asked,
"Hey Nigel, see if you can answer this question."
"Shoot Nick" replied Nigel.
Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister.
Who is it?"

Nigel Farage answered, without stalling said;

"That's easy, it's me!"

Nick Clegg grinned, and said,
"Good answer Nigel, I see it all now!"

Nick Clegg then, went back to find David Cameron and said to him;
"David, I did some research, and I have the answer to that riddle."

" If your mother and father have a child who is not your brother or your sister
The Child is Nigel Farage !"

David Cameron went red in the face, got up, stomped over to Nick Clegg, and angrily yelled into his face,

"No! You bloody idiot! It's Prince Charles!"

Very good Skinny.

Three contractors are bidding to fix a damaged wall in an NHS hospital.

One is from Tottenham, another is from West Ham, and the third is from Luton. All three go with a senior NHS manager to examine the wall.

The Tottenham contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well," he says, "I figure the job will cost about £20,000. £10,000 for materials, £8,000 for the labour and £2,000 profit for me."

The West Ham contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for £15,000. £8,000 for materials, £6,000 for labour, and £1,000 profit for me."

The Luton contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the NHS manager and whispers, "£36,000."

The manager, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?" The Luton contractor whispers back, "£8,000 for me, £8,000 for you, and we hire my mate's firm from Tottenham to fix the wall."

"Done!" replies the NHS manager.

*Stay Off Your Bicycle*

*My wife found out that our dog (a Schnauzer) could hardly hear, so she took it to the veterinarian. The vet found that the problem was hair in the dog's ears.


He cleaned both ears, and the dog could then hear fine. The vet then proceeded to tell Andrea that, if she wanted to keep this from recurring, she should go to the store and get some "Nair" hair remover and rub it in the dog's ears once a month. *
*Andrea went to the store and bought some "Nair" hair remover. *
*At the register, the pharmacist told her, "If you're going to use this under your arms, don't use deodorant for a few days." *
*Andrea said, "I'm not using it under my arms." *
*The pharmacist said, "If you're using it on your legs, don't use body lotion for a couple of days." *
*Andrea replied, "I'm not using it on my legs either.

If you must know, I'm using it on my Schnauzer." *

*The pharmacist said, "Well, stay off your bicycle for at least a week

Not the best pre referendum PR shot!

Brilliant !

Lol! :o)

Do not argue with an idiot; he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

I've had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn't it. Groucho Marx

I belong to no organized party; I am a Democrat." Will Rogers

On the other hand, we have different fingers. Jack Handey

I bet she regrets asking her question

Blimey, she will be in bother, how dare she speak the truth, does she not know that is not allowed.

Seriously though, it's about time some of our lot spoke a lot less politically correct.

The saying that all Muslims are not terrorists but all (or most) terrorists are Muslims is a truth not often said.

It will not be right if in the not too distant future, all Muslims are treated as terrorists, but if things carry on as they are it may become a necessity.

Appreciate this post would be more appropriate for the Speak to yourself thread, but there is so much drivel on there, I have not posted or read it for many months.

Rant over.

I like this from today's Telegraph obituary of Chapman Pincher:

"Beaverbrook believed in God, but was markedly reluctant to meet Him."

The video was nonsense. The woman quoted loads of statistics that no one challenged. She was suggesting that 25% of Muslims are radicals. I doubt that it is even 1%. She was just a rabble rouser and people in the US are susceptible to that sort of talk.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto walked into a saloon and sat down to drink a beer.


After a few minutes, a big tall cowboy walked in and said, "Who owns the big white horse outside?"


The Lone Ranger stood, hitched up his gun belt, and said, "I do. Why?"

The cowboy looked at the Lone Ranger and said, "I just thought you'd like to know that your horse is about dead outside!"

The Lone Ranger and Tonto rushed outside and sure enough Silver was ready to die from heat exhaustion. The Lone Ranger got the horse some water and soon Silver was starting to feel a little better.

The Lone Ranger turned to Tonto and said, "Tonto, I want you to run around Silver and see if you can create enough of a breeze to make him start to feel better."

Tonto said, "Sure, Kemosabe", and took off running circles around Silver.

Not able to do anything else but wait, the Lone Ranger returned to the saloon to finish his drink.

A few minutes later, another cowboy struts into the bar and asks, "Who owns that big white horse outside?"


The Lone Ranger stood again, and said, "I do. What’s wrong with him this time?"


"Nothing, but you left your injun runnin!"

Groan. Lol! :o)

Agreed kim.,. :))

Oh come on! :-)))

A joke is a joke I suppose so well, oh ok....hahahahaha! Groan! :o)
