General Chat

I have just seen a photo of a very crowded beach - presumably last Sunday, somewhere - and someone has added a couple of speech bubbles;

"Mummy, am I going to school tomorrow?"

"No dear, it's not safe."

Sounds about right for the stupidity of the selfish people out there.

I don't know whether to laugh or heave a great sigh of resignation.

The Duchess of Sussex has been on TV moaning about the USA unrest.

Elucidation was in short supply. Speech bubbles might have helped.

Dermot definitely made me smile :-D

Borrowed...

There was a party in the woods and all of a sudden there was an absolute downpour. Two young men ran for about 10 minutes in the pouring rain and finally reached their car just as the rain let up:

They jumped in, started it up and headed down the road, laughing and of course, still drinking beer, one after the other.

All of a sudden an old man’s face appeared outside the passenger window, and he tapped lightly on the window!

The man on the passenger side screamed out,
“Eeeeeeekkk! Look at my window!!! There’s an old guy’s face there!”
(Was this a ghost?!?!?!)

This old man kept knocking, so the driver said. “Well, open the window a little and ask him what he wants!”

So the passenger rolled his window down part way and said, scared out of his wits. “What do you want?”
The old man softly replied. “Do you have any tobacco?”

The passenger, terrified, looked at the driver and said. “He wants tobacco!”
“Well, offer him a cigarette! HURRY!!” The driver replies.

So he fumbles around with the pack and hands the old man a cigarette and yells.
“Step on it!!!” Rolling up the window in terror.

Now going about 80 miles an hour, they calm down, and they start laughing again and the passenger says. “What do you think about that?”
The driver says. “I don’t know. How could that be? I was going pretty fast.”

Then all of a sudden AGAIN there is a knock and there is the old man again.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaah, there he is again!” The passenger yells.
“Well, see what he wants now!” Yells back the driver.
He rolls down the window a little way and shakily says. “Yes?”
“Do you have a light?” The old man quietly asks.

The passenger throws a lighter out the window at him and rolls up the window and yells. “STEP ON IT!”

They are now going about 100 miles an hour and still guzzling beer, trying to forget what they had just seen and heard, when all of a sudden again there is more knocking!

“OH MY GOD! HE’S BACK!”

He rolls down the window and screams out,
“WHAT DO YOU WANT?” In stark fear.

The old man replies.. “You want some help getting out of the mud?”

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Andysmum

Reminds me of one my son sent me in the early days of "lockdown"

Mother and little girl sitting together

Little girl-"mummy am I adopted ?"
Mother "not yet, I only got the forms yesterday" :-D

Whether you send them back to school or keep them at home - there is a substantial number of readers to tell you how wickedly wrong you are

Just spotted online Neil Stuke's t-shirt 'Dominic Cummings' Lockdown Tour' listing the places DC visited on what I called the Grand Northern Tour the other day.


We should all have one. :-D :-D :-D

Some ironic humour around at the moment.

There's a FB page called 'Day Trip to Durham' :-D :-D :-D

Dermot .................

I wonder if the D of Sussex's appearance on TV this morning had anything to do with the fact that she and Harry were criticized in some media only yesterday for not uttering even one tiny peep about what has been going on since Monday last week.

It was noted that they'd had something to say about everything else for the last 6 months!


But moaning about it was surely NOT the thing to do! They should have been out front and centre with their "dearest show biz friends".

Sometimes royal silence is preferable

Megan is only royal by marriage, not by birth

Allan - we all look the same in the grave after the ravenous wriggly worms have had their fill. :-0

I wasnt sure about my sons twin daughters going back to school but one of them had lost all her confidence.
After just one day back she was her old self again, chatty and very very happy.
3rd day mumj had phone call from school saying their teacher is being tested for covid virus.
Very worrying weekend ahead waiting to find out results.
Just cant win. :( :-(
