OT-a bit of humor.

[Howard Neil]

Perhaps the jokes should be about Vendéen sheep.

How is a pussy like a warm toilet seat? They both feel good, but you can't help wondering who was there before you.

[David Lang]

Hi Red

Yup! The Normans were not French. They were Norsemen who were given the area of land now known as Normandy 150 years prior to the invasion by the French King as a bribe. Normandy was independent of France.

Anyway, William the Bastard was so incredibly lucky it's untrue. Noddy & Big Ears could have won under the circumstances.

Mummy, Mummy, why does everyone call me big head? It's alright darling, they're only having fun with you. Now put your hat in the garage and come have some dinner.

[BigWallop]

Mummy, Mummy, can I lick the bowl?

No dear, pull the flush like everyone else please.

[BigWallop]

Daddy, Daddy, Mummy's gone out again.

It's OK, just pour some more petrol on her.

[BigWallop]

Mummy, Mummy, I hate Daddy's guts.

Put them on the side of your plate and eat the rest then.

[BigWallop]

Mummy, Mummy, is the lady next really a robot?

I don't think so darling, why do you ask that?

Well, it's just that Daddy said he was going to screw the ass off her.

[BigWallop]

My Darling, I can't get over you. So I suppose I'll have to get up and walk round.

No No Darling, they're not calling you fat. They're only asking you to move further up the beach to let the tide come in.

Darling, you look like a million dollars. You're all sort of green and wrinkled.

Ah,. The Magna Carta was an encapsulaton more of the Saxon ways...there still being some saxons in powerful places around.

You cannot ascribe Britains successes to any particular culture: It's the combination of all of them that is the strength..

[The Natural Philosopher]

Not a lot - no.

Normandy is Norhmen'd place. The Nirse. The scandinavians..

Remember Norman England was at war with france for the next - well -

1000 years really :-)

[RedOnRed]

But as far as we're all concerned they're frogs.

[Chris Hodges]

Isn't the word pendatry?

:)

[PC Paul]

No but pedantry may well fit the bill.

HTH

:-P

[RedOnRed]

No, the word is pedantism. It's a new word that everyone will be using over the next year or so and will be in the Oxford dictionary this time next year.

All I have to do now is keep on saying it and make it fashionable.

[RedOnRed]

Why did the walrus go to the Tupperware party? He was looking for a tight seal.

[RedOnRed]

A woman walks into a bar and asks the barman for a double entendre. So he gave her one.

[BigWallop]

Or Bill may well fit the pedantry. :-)

[PC Paul]

The last 'new word' I came across was 'performant'. I don't like it.

Used in the context 'the most performant solution for this problem is ...'.

Yuck.
