People from my childhood

RayScollen — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 17:55:18 GMT

One of the people from my childhood who made a real impression on me was a man by the name of Arthur Crozier. He lived on Vincent Street, Dawdon when I first knew him. He had 2 brothers, Brian and Malcolm. Malcolm was my school friend and it was through him I came to know Arthur. From Vincent Street the Croziers moved to Beaumont Street where Arthur had a large shed in the garden where he indulged his main hobby .... Building model aircraft. We would spend hours watching him work on his ...

whats going on

Jim — Sat, 31 May 2008 19:33:08 GMT

What is our country comming to not only are we getting hammered by fuel prices but another great idea that has come up is no logos on cig packets why.The country could come to a stand still and what are our goverment doing they are disgusing if they should ban logos from cigs.One good thing is that robbers and car thieves wont get far because they wont be able to afford to put fuel in thier get away cars and if they steal a car it will most likely be the same.So up to now people cant afford Gas/Electric ...

Early Warnings

RayScollen — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 18:24:51 GMT

Does anyone remember the warnings our parents/grand parents used to give us as kids? In particular....'don't sit on the cold steps or you'll get piles'. Well they were right.

photos

Jim — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 13:52:45 GMT

Hi James ... just to say I've deleted a lot of pics that have been in the Gallery for sometime now. I hope you don't take it personally but as you were the only one posting it was yours that got clobbered. If you have any circa 50/60's I'd love to see them. I would love to see a piccy of Featherbed Rock of the 50's if anyone has one or knows where one can be filched from.

Summer Holiday

RayScollen — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 10:31:53 GMT

James is one to tell all about my many girlfriends in the early 60's, none of which I can remember. I think it was just to cover up his own promiscuity. I can, however remember Mavis, my first real girlfriend whom I went out with for about 7 months in 1963. Strangely even though I can see her face, remember her address (she lived on Garron Street), visualise the 'friends' we shared ( we used to go to St Hilda's Church on Sundays) at the time , know the name of the bloke she eventually married, ...

Religious Road Signs

Lucy — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 15:01:35 GMT

A priest and a pastor from the local parishes are standing by the side of the road holding up a sign that reads, The End is Near!

Turn yourself around now before it's too late!

"Leave us alone you religious nuts!" yelled the first driver as he sped by.

From around the curve they heard screeching tyres and a big crash.

"Do you think," said one clergy to the other, "we should just put up a sign that says, 'BRIDGE OUT' instead?"

Microsoft

Lucy — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 14:58:57 GMT

God was looking down on earth one day and decided that things

were not going to get better, in fact they were getting worse

every day. He said to himself thet it is time to start over

again with a new batch who might be able to do better than this

bunch of humans are doing.

So he called up three men, Bill Clinton Bill Gates and

Micael Gorbachev. They are the three best media for getting his

message across. He told the that he was disapointed with mankind

as it is and that he was going ...

Fishing

Lucy — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 02:05:16 GMT

Joe and Bob fishing

One day, two guys Joe and Bob were out fishing. A funeral service passes over the bridge they're fishing by,

and Bob takes off his hat and puts it over his heart. He does this until the funeral service passes by.

Joe then said "Gee Bob, I didn't know you had it in you!"

Bob then replies " It's the least I could do. After all I was married to her for 30 years."

AN OLD COUPLE AT THE DOCTORS

An old couple go to the doctor. The old man goes first to have his physical. When the doctor is done with him, he sends the old man back into the waiting room and calls the old woman in.

The doctor tells her, "Before we proceed with the examination, I would like to talk to you about your husband first."

The old woman says, "Oh, no, it's his heart. I told him to lay off the eggs."

The doctor says, "Well, I asked your husband how ...

Time to shut up shop???

RayScollen — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 21:24:13 GMT

Hi Jim .... and any other forum members that may be taking a look in . I think 9 months is about long enough to see if a forum works or not, and I think this one has failed to work. With this in mind I propose to shut down the forum on the 24th August 2008 unless anyone objects. Either leave your objections here or email me directly at rayscollen@btinternet.com. I do realize I myself have not posted that often but the last 6 months have been a bit of a nightmare for me, and if it hadn't been ...

Doggie jokette

RayScollen — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 16:38:23 GMT

A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet and says,

"My dog's cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him? "

"Well," says the vet, "let's have a look at him"

So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then checks his

teeth.

Finally, he says "I'm going to have to put him down."

"What? Because he's cross-eyed?"

"No, because he's really really heavy"

Gordon Brown or Gordon the Useless One as he is known by some of his colleagues was looking for a lady of the night.

He found three such girls in a local pub, a blonde, a brunette and a redhead.

To the blonde he said, 'I am the Prime Minister of England. Now how much would it cost me to spend some time with you?'

She replied, �200.'

To the brunette he asked the same question.

Joke

Lucy — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 17:17:36 GMT

Three men are sitting in room smoking cannabis.

After a few spliffs they run out of gear. One of the men

stands up and > says, 'Look, we've got loads more tobacco,

I'll just nip into the kitchen and make one of my

specialty spliffs.'

Off he goes into the kitchen where he takes some of the

spices from the spice rack, grinds them up and rolls them

into a spliff.

On his return he hands it to one of his smoking partners

who lights it and takes a long drag.

Within seconds he passes out.
