You slay me Pete, but time to rein it in, now, I think!
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

I can't remember- I think I wanted the toilet...Courtenay wrote: Reminds me of something I once saw written in a much-graffitied loo at university (if not the exact words, it was to this effect):
"The more you study, the more you learn.
The more you learn, the more you forget.
The more you forget, the less you know.
So why study?"
Underneath which someone else had written: "What are you doing at this university then??"
With appropriate apologies for lifting Courtenay's post from another thread.

Re: Jokes
A Senior's Moment
A little silver-haired lady calls her neighbour and says, "Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how to get started."
Her neighbour asks, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished?"
The little silver haired lady says, "According to the picture on the box, it's a rooster."
Her neighbour decides to go over and help with the puzzle.
She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over the table.
He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says, "First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a rooster."
He takes her hand and says, "Secondly, I want you to relax. Let's have a nice cup of tea, and then, "he said with a deep sigh, "let's put all the Corn Flakes back in the box."

It was a blonde and her (presumably non-blond) boyfriend the last time I heard that one.

dont take yours off right now, you're gonna regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but
soon and for the rest of your life."
