Exclamation NEARLY caught out!

I was contacted by an 'Eastern' chap who said my computer had been cloned and £1300.00 had been taken from my Account.

Thumbs up Now THAT is a bike!

My eldest daughter had a boyfriend with a GSXR. He could ride it too!

I see the 'flying car' has reappeared with the forecast, 'This is the future!', accompanied by a description of hundreds of these vehicles criss-crossing towns/cities etc. etc.

On a more sombre note.

No doubt many ex-passie boat members will have attended many burials at sea but I only witnessed one in my years at sea.

Angry Had another!

Phone rang and, as it was an 020 number, I answered it.

An 'Oriental' female told me my computer had been badly 'invaded' but, as a Microsoft subsidiary, she would fix it.

All I had to do was...

Angry I had a message t'other day----

Thumbs up Eh-up Hugh!

I fed 'Malabar' into my 'Search' and it came-up with a 'Burger-joint', in a town (in the States), called Malabar. So I wonder if that's where your burger comes from and not the Brock ship. Cheers,...

Wink Ha! Deathly 'ush!

Why the 'deathly 'ush'?

I imagine it's probably because Members memsahibs have been asking, "Who was Isiah and what does 'mem's' mean?".
