Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Samy often said that he didn't believe in God, so I asked him, if so, why did he donate to a synagogue in Rio de Janeiro. I don't he said, but there is no harm in having a little insurance...

University students have been banned from throwing their mortarboards in the air due to health and safety concerns.
Some graduates at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich have been hurt by falling hats in recent years, student newspaper The Tab reported.
Students have been urged to mime the throwing action instead, and have hats added digitally to the photo after.
Clearly a university dedicated to producing the mollycoddled.

I'm worried about the Olympics now , the javelin will probably be feather throwing , the hammer will be ping pong launching and the putting the shot will be shuttlecock easing .

If you were the "boss" of a University and had a report on you desk saying that someone had sued the University for allowing mortar boards to be chucked into the air at a "celebration", and one of which had land corner first into the eye of a participant causing him/her to lose their sight, what would you consider for the next knees up.

Daft, it seems, but might make a dent in the back pocket.

I wouldn't want to be a teacher running a "6th form" rugby team these days.

.

Trust you .

When I do that, I always take a pinch of salt.

Sucking on a lemon might be a better punishment .

Vic

That's what Fred's face looks like , someone sucking a lemon

Or a bulldog chewing a wasp.

Vicky,

I like sucking lemons and swatting flies like Dumbo.

How can you have a fly called dumbo , just won't work ,thought you were an engineer .

Use your imagination.

Don't ask for the impossible Fred -):

perhaps a failed engineer?

Perhaps.

Just to report back after earlier questions, AirBnB was excellent in Bordeaux this last few days.

Two places stayed at. Both a great experience. Slightly harder work than a hotel, but well worth it for contact with real local people.

Bordeaux recommendations available. It is a lovely small city - add it to your list of places to go.

Summing up the Queen's speech and tory's ability.



Long live the little englanders.

RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: Government by gimmick: Driverless cars! A space port in Cornwall! The pie-in-the-sky policies of a Prime Minister paralysed by Brexit

Space: the final frontier, writes RICHARD LITTLEJOHN. These are the voyages of the Starship Cameron. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and civilisations, to boldly go where no Prime Minister has gone before. The first draft of today’s Queen’s Speech reads like an episode of Star Trek. Instead of confronting real-world problems, such as mass immigration and crumbling public services, Call Me Dave has decided to promise us a glorious future of cheap space travel and driverless cars.

Should be a capital E there Freda . Use your imagination will you .
