Best steering clear of that I think, but surely you're not so old, after all you've obviously still got full use of your hands, or is your daily help tapping the keys for you!

I felt like a commando-cum-refugee fleeing Berko last night, and what with the M1 closed and a prang on the A41 diverting northbound traffic through the town it was chaos. I came back past Woodhall Farm just north of Buncefield at midnight and the cauliflowers of flame were spectacular. But the gig at The Swan was terrific: lovely little country pub and a very nice room. A small but perfectly formed audience for my set. Highly recommended. I'll let you know if/when I get a repeat gig. (That is if Ross doesn't mind my hi-jacking!?!?) -- Hamish |

20 Dec 05 - 08:11 AM (#1631198) Subject: RE: Bull, Barton, Beds - December 05 things From: Ross Ahhhh, poor John - he's done so much for care in the community Luton v Watford - 2nd January - Buncefield explodes Here's a joke nicked off the internet: Not long ago and far away, Santa was getting ready for his annual trip...but there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule. Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her mom was coming to visit. This stressed Santa even more. When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out, heaven knows where. More Stress. Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the boards cracked and the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys. Totally frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whisky. When he went to the cupboard, he found the elves had hit the bottle and there was nothing to drink. In his frustration, he dropped the coffee pot and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw it was made from. Just then the door bell rang and Santa cussed on his way to the door. He opened the door and there was a little angel with a great big Christmas tree. The angel said: "Where would you like to put this tree fat man?" And that my friend, is how the little angel came to be on top of the tree. |

The first man  fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on.  It represents a candle, he said. You may pass  through the pearly gates  Saint Peter said. The second man reached into his  pocket and pulled out  a set of keys. He shook them and said, "They're  bells" . Saint Peter  said you may pass through the pearly gates. The  third man started  searching desperately through his pockets and  finally pulled out a pair  of women's panties. St. Peter looked at the man  with a raised eyebrow  and asked, "And just what do those symbolize?"  The man replied............. a carol!!!!! |
