The board at Man City are trying to block a takeover by Richard Branson, A spoesmans said,

"We can't have "VIRGIN" on the shirt when we are getting **** every week".

I'm with Kiddysi, It's like a bad habit.

A typical English 20 something, having split from his latest girlfriend,

decided to take a vacation. He booked himself on a Caribbean cruise and

proceeded to have the time of his life, that is, until the ship sank.

He found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing,

only bananas and coconuts.

After about four months, he is lying on the beach one day when the most

gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to the shore.

In disbelief, he asks, "Where did you come from? How did you get here?"

She replies, "I rowed from the other side of the island. I landed here

when my cruise ship sank."

"Amazing," he notes. "You were really lucky to have a row boat wash up

with you." "Oh, this thing?" explains the woman. "I made the boat out of raw

material I found on the island. The oars were whittled from gum tree

branches. I wove the bottom from palm branches, and the sides and stern came

from a Eucalyptus tree."

"But, where did you get the tools?"

"Oh, that was no problem," replied the woman. "On the south side of the

island, a very unusual stratum of alluvial rock is exposed. I found if I

fired it to a certain temperature in my kiln, it melted into ductile iron. I

used that for tools and used the tools to make the hardware."

The guy is stunned.

"Let's row over to my place," she says.

After a few minutes of rowing, she docks the boat at a small wharf.

As the man looks to shore, he nearly falls off the boat. Before him is a

stone walk leading to an exquisite bungalow painted in blue and white.

While the woman ties up the rowboat with an expertly woven hemp rope, the

man can only stare ahead, dumb struck. As they walk into the house,she says

casually, "It's not much but I call it home. Sit down, please.

Would you like a drink?" "No! No thank you," he blurts out, still dazed.

"I can't take another drop of coconut juice."

"It's not coconut juice," winks the woman. "I have a still. How would you

like a Pina Colada?"

Trying to hide his continued amazement, the man accepts, and they sit down

on her couch to talk. After they have exchanged their stories, the woman

announces, "I'm going to slip into something more comfortable.

Would you like to take a shower and shave? There is a razor upstairs in

the bathroom cabinet." No longer questioning anything, the man goes into the

bathroom. There, in the cabinet, a razor made from a piece of tortoise bone.

Two shells honed to a hollow ground edge are fastened on to its end inside a

swivel mechanism.

"This woman is amazing," he muses. "What next?"

When he returns, she greets him wearing nothing but vines, strategically

positioned, and smelling faintly of gardenias. She beckons for him to sit

down next to her. "Tell me," she begins suggestively, slithering closer to

him, "We've been out here for many months. You've been lonely.

There's something I'm sure you really feel like doing right now, something you've

been longing for?" She stares into his eyes ...

He can't believe what he's hearing. "You mean . . " he swallows excitedly

and tears start to form in his eyes...

(Keep going)

"Don't tell me you've got Sky Sports as well!"

The afterlife

A couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back and inform

the

other of the afterlife. Their biggest fear was that there was no

afterlife.

After a long life together, the husband was the first to go, and true to

his

word he made contact,

"Mary. Mary."

"Is that you, Fred?"

"Yes, I've come back like we agreed."

"What's it like?"

"Well, I get up in the morning, I have sex, I have breakfast, off to the

golf course, I have sex, I bathe in the sun, and then I have sex twice.

I have lunch, another romp around the golf course, then sex pretty much

all

afternoon.

After supper, golf course again. Then have sex until late at night. The

next

day it starts again."

"Oh, Fred you surely must be in heaven."

"Not exactly, I'm a rabbit in Suffolk."

Keh ?

My thoughts went back to Andy Lockhead when i found out what type of player/position Carew was.

Its about time we started terrorising defences with some real teeth.

Incidentley, I was at that cup game against ManUtd in 71 Happy days, and more to come i hope.

Subject: : To Bank or not to Bank that is the question!

Shown below, is an actual letter that was sent to a bank by an 86 year

old woman. The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have it

published in the New York Times.

Dear Sir:

I am writing to thank you for bouncing my check with which I endeavoured

to pay my plumber last month.

By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his

presenting the check and the arrival in my account of the funds

needed to honour it. I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit

of my entire pension, an arrangement which, I admit, has been in

place for only eight years.

You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity,

and also for debiting my account $30 by way of penalty for the

inconvenience caused to your bank.

My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has

caused me to rethink my errant financial ways. I noticed that whereas I personally

answer your telephone calls and letters, --- when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the

impersonal, overcharging, prerecorded, faceless entity which your

bank has become. From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a

flesh-and-blood person. My mortgage and loan repayments will therefore and

hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at your bank, by check, addressed

personally and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you

must nominate.

Be aware that it is an offence under the Postal Act for any other

person to open such an envelope. Please find attached an Application

Contact which I require your chosen employee to complete.

I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as much

about him or her as your bank knows about me, there is no alternative.

Please note that all copies of his or her medical history must be

countersigned by a Notary Public, and the mandatory details of his/her

financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be accompanied

by documented proof.

In due course, at MY convenience, I will issue your employee with a

PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings with me.

I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I

have modelled it on the number of button presses required of me to access

my account balance on your phone bank service. As they say, imitation

is the sincerest form of flattery.

Let me level the playing field even further.

When you call me, press buttons as follows:

#1. To make an appointment to see me

#2. To query a missing payment.

# 3. To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there.

# 4. To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping.

# 5. To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature.

# 6. To transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at home

#7. To leave a message on my computer, a password to access my computer

is required. A password will be communicated to you at a later date to

that Authorized Contact mentioned earlier.

# 8. To return to the main menu and to listen to options 1 through 7.

# 9. To make a general complaint or inquiry. The contact will then be

put on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering service.

While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait, uplifting

music will play for the duration of the call.

Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an

establishment fee to cover the setting up of this new arrangement.

May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous New

Year?

Your Humble Client

(Remember: This was written by a 86 year old woman! )

We've all heard about people having guts or balls. But do you really know

the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, the

definition of each is listed below.

GUTS - is arriving home late after a night out with the guys,

Being assaulted by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask,

"Are you still cleaning or are you flying somewhere?"

BALLS - is coming home late after a night out with the guys smelling of

perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the ass and

having the balls to say, "You're next!"

..............Undecided

Things that make blokes proud of themselves :

1. OPENING JARS - She's struggling. You take it from her hands, open it

effortlessly and pretend she loosened it for you. She didn't. Jars are men's

work.

2. CALLING SOMEONE 'SON' - Especially policemen but even saying it to kids

makes you the man.

3. DOING A PROPER SLIDE TACKLE - Beckham free kicks - camp. A Stuart Pearce

tackle is the pinnacle of the game, simultaneously winning the ball and

crippling the man. Magic.

4. SHARPENING A PENCIL WITH A STANLEY KNIFE - Blunt, is it? Hand it here

love. No, I don't need a sharpener, I've got a knife thanks!

5. GOING TO THE TIP - A manly act which combines driving, lifting and - as

you thrillingly drop your rubbish into another huge pile of other rubbish -

noisy destruction.

6. DRINKING UP - Specifically, rising from the table, slinging your coat on

and downing two thirds of a pint in one fluid movement. Then nodding towards

the door, saying, "Let's go" and striding out while everyone else struggles

to catch up with you. You're hard.

7. HAVING A THIN BIT OF WOOD - in the shed, solely to stir paint with.

8. HAVING A SCAR - Ideally it'll be a facial knife wound, but even an iron

burn on the wrist is good. "Ooh, did it hurt". "Nah".

9. HAVING A HANGOVER AND THICK STUBBLE - When birds have been partying they

just whinge. You on the other hand have physical evidence of your

hardness,sprouting from your face. "Big night?" Grr, what does it look like.

10. NODDING AT COPPERS - A moment's eye contact is all it takes for you to

share the unspoken bond. "We've not seen eye to eye in the past",it says,

"but someone's got to keep the kids in line".

11. USING POWER TOOLS - Slightly more powerful than you need or can safely

handle. Pneumatic drilling while smoking a fag? Superb.

12. KICKING A FOOTY AGAINST A GARAGE DOOR - Clang-g-g-g-g-g-! Stick that

Becks, I kick so hard I set off car alarms.

13. ARRIVING IN A PUB LATE - And everyone cheers you. It doesn't mean you're

popular, it just means your mates are pis sed. However, the rest of the pub

doesn't know that.

14. NOT WATCHING YOUR WEIGHT - Fat is a feminist issue,apparently.

Brilliant. Pass the pork scratchings.

15. WINKING - Turns women to putty. Doesn't it?

16. TEST SWINGING HAMMERS - Ideally, B&Q would have little changing rooms

with mirrors so you could see how rugged you look with any DIY item. Until

then, we'll make do with the aisles.

17. TAKING OUT £200 FROM A CASHPOINT - Okay, so its for paying the

Plumber later but with that much cash you feel like a mafia don. The only

thing better is peeling notes off the roll later.

18. PHONE CALLS THAT LAST LESS THAN A MINUTE - Unlike birds, we get straight

to the point. "Alright? Yep. Drink? Red lion? George, it is then. Seven. See

ya."

19. PARALLEL PARKING - Bosh, straight in. First time. Can Schumacher do

that? No, because his car's got no reverse gear which, technically, makes

you

the worlds best driver.

20. HAVING EARNED THAT PINT - Since the dawn of time, men have toiled in the

fields in blistering heat. Why? So, when it's over we can stand there in

silence, surveying our work with one hand resting on the beer gut while the

other nurses a foaming jug of ale.Aaaah.

21. HAVING SOMETHING PROPERLY WRONG WITH YOU - Especially if you didn't make

a fuss. "Why was I off, nothing much, just a brain haemorrhage".

22. KNOWING WHICH SCREWDRIVER IS WHICH - "A Phillips? For that? Are you

mad?"

Ayds......dont die of dyslexia
