Trump should perhaps be addressing concerns in that direction, the play-off might provide hours of amusement politically free viewing.

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted July 23, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2020 I used to work with a guy who had been on a Bomb Disposal team. He said the main guy told him, "if ever you see me run past you, try to keep up !" 2 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I'm sorry Mr Gibson, if that's the name of your dog then you will be of no use to us" Mike. What actually happened was that he had a bunged-up nose and said "By dobs name is Digger*". A kindly interviewer handed him a packet of Tunes and after sucking one for a couple of minutes he was able to reply, in crystal clear tones, "My dogs name is ......." * Apparently the Bowdlerisation that is to be used in the remake, according to Stephen Fry.... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Bernard Lamb Posted July 24, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 24, 2020 While we are on the subject of the name of a certain dog, may I point you in the direction of the original lyrics from "I've got a little list from the Mikado". Even such genteel establishment figures such as Gilbert and Sullivan would find themselves under attack from the PC brigade these days.

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted July 24, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 24, 2020 A bit like Squanto, always portrayed as a sandwich short of a picnic. This remarkable man greeted Mayflower landing in perfect english; he also spoke Spanish and French fluently. He’d made at least 2 Atlantic crossings, having been captured by the Canadian French and sold to a Spanish slave plantation somewhere in the Caribbean, sent on a sea voyage and captured by English pirates. He’d spent some years in London, free but poor and working at various labouring jobs before working a passage back across the atlantic. He was probably the most travelled man on that Cape Cod beach, and given that the others had just crossed the atlantic at a time when the bulk if their countrymen lived entirely within 5 miles of their birthplace, was no mean feat! History, by which I mean our history, has not been fair to this remarkable man. 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers. The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is read by people who own the country; the Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country, and the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is. Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun? Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big t**s. Still true today as it was back then.

Is it really necessary to promote violence? Colin, I am far from a violent man. I do not promote violence. As Asimov put it, “Violence is the last resort of the incompetent.”. However, when it comes to my family, I reserve the right to protect them in any manner I see fit. steve 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
