...and probably believes it, too. It's just that that nasty Mr Biden won't let him into his White House.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Was that an East Anglian tradition, 1DC? Certainly when I worked on Portland one was commanded on pain of death to call 'em 'little furry animals'. Say the R word and there was a probability that tools would be downed and workers would leave for the day. During my time there, there was a child of on...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Crikey, Rev. Jim, how deep was the water? Glad a safe conclusion... Dunno, Didn't get out to look - but prob about 50-60 cm deep I guess. We were supposed to be running a quiz/lunch for Alzheimer's Society today, but decided to postpone because of so many roads closed. However, Mrs J decided it bes...

Committed an abject stupidity today. Drove into a flood which drowned me sparking plugs.

Re: Things you never see on TV any more...

Lived in Weymouth in the sixties; wrestling once a month at the Winter Gardens. ISTR Wednesdays... Also once a month just down the coast at Bridport; Thursdays. It was said, and I believed this but was too lazy / tight to see for myself, that the two venues had exactly the same bill, but that most o...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Unmitigated telephonic disaster for Mrs Jim in the last 36 hours! Started yesterday with the thing losing connection with the provider - 5 bars on mine, 0 on hers. Re-booted. All well. Then at lunchtime it failed in the middle of a call when she was getting "talked in" to a charity, the recipient of...

Thanks to Hydromat for the explanation of what until now has been a mystery.

A question: does anyone enjoy watching/playing Australian Rules?

Re: Rape

I wonder what proportion of rapes take place within the family circle? Pretty horrific. I know of a colleague who coerced his daughters into sex by telling them "daddy won't love you any more if you don't. " Apalling. Yup. I remember when I had occasion to dob someone in that he tearfully protested...

Found it quite difficult a) at that speed ya can't hear the motor (hybrid) so have to fixate on speedo - or satnav, actually, 'cos it's just about in my eyeline b) at that speed the cruise control won't engage - seems ...

OHL - excellent! OFSO - you defeated the gremlin! The idea was that you got so mad with the thing that you never noticed the bit of trim. You were not required to be so laid-back that you found it. As any fule kno, inanimate objects always delight in discombobulating us. Probably twice a week I'm ca...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

I probably had a couple of dozen open-coffin funerals in my Central London church - all West Africans. Processing up the aisle and wailing by the coffin obligatory; use of video camera optional - tho' I would not allow either once proceedings were under way. (Took a long time before I could get star...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

I am now quite old for a human being. My television is quite old for a television. Thus I'm having increasing difficulty reading the little scorey bits at the bottom of the screen (cricket) and side of the screen (F1) Astonishingly, Mrs Jim, who is nowhere near as old as I am (tho' older than the TV...
