Always had the hots for Cherie Delonghi. Far fitter than those big arsed American tarts.

Ah, yes, indeed. But can she make toast?

My wife told me she thought we'd have less arguments if I wasn't so pedantic...
I told her "I think you mean fewer." geoff |

Is it few, fewer, fewest or few, fewer, not very many?

It might be 'not more'. 'Many' implies 'a great number' regardless of the field but 'fewer' can only be decoded when considered against the totals fielded. A large quantity of widgits can still be fewer in widgits than an even larger quantity of widgits.
Is a lesser argument one in which weaponised frying pans are not employed or is it merely one rhetorically weaker?

One more at least. There's a few of us about.
(Pedants, not widgits).

Being a pedant could get you a good thumping in a, "Concerned Citizens", council estate.

Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks.
They charged one and let the other one off.

Eating fireworks in June?
Eco friendly kids only eat fireworks in season, late October to early November. Air miles on bangers and Catherine wheels can be hefty and hard to justify. We are going to buy meat-free fireworks with no added "E's" this autumn to do our bit to save the planet. Euro for the Guy. |

Airmiles? I thought gunpowder and aircraft were incompatible or is that only when mixed with primitives?
You only have to look at all the research the Hibernians do into making household stuff go bang and that is all the gunpowder stuff is supposed to do. The chief plastico tells me you have asked to hire the cabin underneath mine, E-S. May I ask what you intend using it for?

I'm starting to think you guys have never heard of weed killer and sugar.

Weed killer and sugar, never drank it. Is it any good? Is that a pint of it in your hand?
The nearest I've gotten is Brasso and hot milk, bit of a kick in it but buffs up your gold fillings something grand. Last edited by Engine Serang; 25th June 2019 at 13:49. Reason: Too provincial. |

Never met an engineer yet that wasn't a Brasso drinker.
And did it ever show … you had to wear sunglasses if you were within 100 metres. (50 scale sunblock if you were within 10.)

Did you hear about the guy who ordered four Kindles from Amazon.
They sent him a 'Two Ronnies' DVD.

I can refute this, I bought myself, my wife and my two daughters a Kindle apiece for Christmas. They didn't even say thank you.

One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he
asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door. Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.' The cop was happy and left the shop. The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen doughnuts waiting for him at his door. Then a Member of Parliament came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The Member of Parliament was very happy and left the shop. The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen Members of Parliament lined up waiting for a free haircut. And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it. |

Should have bought some "O's" in case the Kindles caught fire.

Barber jokes are good.
I went to the barbers last week and asked for it to be left long on the right, short on the left, cut a bald spot in the middle and make it stick up at the back. ' I can't cut it like that,' replied the barber. 'Well you did last time,' I said.

A mother thinks there is something strange about her son so she has a DNA test done in secret.
After a long, nervous few days of waiting, the results finally come back. She is shocked to find out that her son is not actually related to her or her husband at all. With a heavy heart, she approaches her husband and tells him the truth. “Honey,” she starts. “I’m so sorry to tell you this… but Johnny is not our biological son.” The husband looks confused. “Well of course he isn’t! Don’t you remember? We were leaving the hospital when he pooped himself so badly. You told me, ‘Go and change the baby, I’ll wait here’.” geoff |
