RE: British Commentator Talks About Osama bin Laden

The videos are all done by the same man Monte. He's well know as a writer and comedian,but does get people riled up.

RE: which is more funny

Personally I think it's the ones that got away from Little Bo Peep.

RE: British Commentator Talks About Osama bin Laden

Hi Con,I don't think people realise that the author of the video is a writer and comedian,so, much is tongue in cheek,even if it does press people's buttons.

I love being wanted!

Loved that story. Smart little cookie there.

RE: Accountability and Responsibility

Not just London I'm afraid.

We have an influx of European workers in this country and guess what,they will do the work that the British citizen turns down as too menial.Work is work surely.

It's not just the young that are unemployed either,the axe has fallen for many middle aged people of late,but you dont see them going on the rampage do you.

I love being wanted!

WHAT IS A GRANDPARENT?
(Taken from papers written by a class of 8-year-olds)

Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of their own.
They like other people's.

A grandfather is a man and a grandmother is a lady!

Grandparents don't have to do anything except be there when we come to see them. They are so old they shouldn't play hard or run. It is good if they drive us to the shops and give us money.

When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars.

They show us and talk to us about the colours of the flowers and also why we shouldn't step on 'cracks.'

They don't say, 'Hurry up.'

Usually grandmothers are fat, but not too fat to tie your shoes.

They wear glasses and funny underwear.

They can take their teeth and gums out.

Grandparents don't have to be smart.

They have to answer questions like 'Why isn't God married?' and 'How come dogs chase cats?'

When they read to us, they don't skip. They don't mind if we ask for the same story over again.

Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don't have television because they are the only grown-ups who like to spend time with us.

They know we should have snack time before bed time, and they say prayers with us and kiss us even when we've acted bad.

A 6-YEAR-OLD WAS ASKED WHERE HIS GRANDMA LIVED. ''OH,'' HE SAID, ''SHE LIVES AT THE AIRPORT, AND WHEN WE WANT HER, WE JUST GO GET HER. THEN WHEN WE'RE DONE HAVING HER VISIT, WE TAKE HER BACK TO THE AIRPORT.''

GRANDPA IS THE SMARTEST MAN ON EARTH! HE TEACHES ME GOOD THINGS, BUT I DON'T GET TO SEE HIM ENOUGH TO GET AS SMART AS HIM!

It's funny when they bend over; you hear gas leaks, and they blame their dog.

I love being wanted!

RE: Accountability and Responsibility

Exactly

RE: Accountability and Responsibility

Point taken. Sad but true,though I must say when I was 16 and earning a crust in 1956 my wages were £2-50 a week,and I had a great time on that amount of money even after paying my parents!

The problem today is that modern technology has got a grip and most kids of today have got the permanent "I Wants" which some parents are unable to keep up with.

Maybe if we got rid of our Benefits System it would make more people get off their backsides and go get a job.j.m.o.

RE: Accountability and Responsibility

Most of them don't even attend school,let alone seek employment,so no excuse I'm afraid.

Whatever their prospects they had no right to put other peoples lives at risk.

RE: The proposal.....

Oh BB thanks for sharing such a wonderful moment.

May they be as happy in life as they are at this moment.

RE: Accountability and Responsibility

Most definately,and all this should start in the home. The riots of late in London were a classic example of kids out of control,with little or no parental guidance.

As for the "sporting teenagers" I would kick the School team to the kerb and not allow them back on the circuit again.Name and shame.

Disappearing car!

Glad you all enjoyed it!

Disappearing car!

This is just so hilarious!

RE: Blair Calls For Regime Change

Actually our National sport is cricket,though some would argue it's Football.

You obviously haven't been out with many British males ,if that is your opinion.

Nice to see you

Found anything lurking lately?

Excuse the pun but looks like you just bolted from the scene!

Found anything lurking lately?

Hell's bell's Niko,that's awful!!!

I was only talking to my neighbour today who's husband was on Oramorph to help him with his cancer. All his bottles at one time tasted of perfume,so they were returned,and ,guess what ,the fresh ones were the same,so they had to remove all the bottles from stock. This from a huge pharmacutical company.

Found anything lurking lately?

Gosh don't you just hate that,especially the veggies amongst us.

Found anything lurking lately?

Has anyone found a nasty in anything that they have purchased ?

I opened a tin of salmon to have with a fresh salad and new potatoes.Imagine my horror to discover what looked like human hairs lurking amongst the fish.

Perhaps it was hair from the grizzly that caught it.

On closer inspection it looks like cotton thread. The product has been returned for laboratory testing,but I'm off tinned salmon at the moment.

What's your horror story.
