    Hope this ones not too strong,if so pleasr delete... For his birthday, little Joseph asked for a 10-speed bicycle. His father said 'Son we'd give you one but the mortgage on this house is £280,000 and your mother just lost her job.There's no way we can afford it.' The next day the father saw little Joseph heading out the front door with a suitcase. So he asked, 'Son where are you going?' Little Joseph told him; 'I was walking past your room last night and heard you telling mum you were pulling out. Then I heard her tell you to wait because she was coming too. And I'll be damned if I'm staying here by myself with a £280,000 mortgage and no bloody bike!

    A woman went to a pet shop and immediately spotted a large, beautiful parrot. There was a sign on the cage that said $50.00. "Why so little?" she asked the pet store owner. The owner looked at her and said, "Look, I should tell you first that this bird used to live in a house of prostitution, and sometimes it says some pretty vulgar stuff." The woman thought about this, but decided she had to have the bird anyway. She took it home and hung the bird's cage up in her living room and waited for it to say something. The bird looked around the room, then at her, and said, "New house, new madam." The woman was a bit shocked at the implication, but then thought "that's really not so bad." When her two teenage daughters returned from school, the bird saw them and said, "New house, new madam, new girls." The girls and the woman were a bit offended but then began to laugh about the situation, considering how and where the parrot had been raised. Moments later, the woman's husband Ron came home from work. The bird looked at him and said, "Hi Ron."
  8. I would agree with you if your using it to stir your tea... No seriously you had a bad experience with one,I have 2 of the small toppers,& they have both been great,but not for anything much over 4 or 5 inch on a regular basis.

    Jokes???

    The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife goodbye and said, 'Well, I'm off now. The man should be here soon.' Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer happened to ring the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. 'Good morning, Ma'am', he said, 'I've come to...' 'Oh, no need to explain,' Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed, 'I've been expecting you.' 'Have you really?' said the photographer. 'Well, that's good. Did you know babies are my specialty?' 'Well that's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat !. After a moment she asked, blushing, 'Well, where do we start?' 'Leave everything to me.. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch, and perhaps a couple on the bed. And sometimes the living room floor is fun. You can really spread out there.' 'Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work out for Harry and me!' 'Well, Ma'am, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.' 'My, that's a lot!', gasped Mrs. Smith. 'Ma'am, in my line of work a man has to take his time. I'd love to be In and out in five minutes, but I'm sure you'd be disappointed with that.' 'Don't I know it,' said Mrs. Smith quietly. The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures. 'This was done on the top of a bus,' he said. 'Oh, my God!' Mrs. Smith exclaimed, grasping at her throat. 'And these twins turned out exceptionally well - when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with..' 'She was difficult?' asked Mrs. Smith. 'Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep to get a good look' 'Four and five deep?' said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement. 'Yes', the photographer replied. 'And for more than three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling - I could hardly concentrate, and when darkness approached I had to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just had to pack it all in.' Mrs. Smith leaned forward. 'Do you mean they actually chewed on your, uh...equipment?' 'It's true, Ma'am, yes.. Well, if you're ready, I'll set-up my tripod and we can get to work right away..' 'Tripod?' 'Oh yes, Ma'am. I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big to be held in the hand very long.' Mrs. Smith fainted __________________
  15. Yeh,that 500 was a fun bike,but it just wanted to be spitefull all the time,The throttle used to stick when you least wanted it to,like you would give it a handfull,& come corner time it now & then didnt shut off.. I did get a lovely hole shot on it one time,but unfortunately it shamed me at the first bend in resplendant style,I wont go into detail here as it brings back the tremors that I suffered as a result. The weston beach race was fun,I can recomend it to anyone who likes to realy suffer,I felt like I had wrestled a gorilla in a shot blasting booth.
  16. Superb photo Lorry,what you doing down there?
  17. Thats one big pumpkin !
  18. I did a fair bit of mx & enduro,loved it,knocked myself out a few times due to a sticking open throttle from time to time on my cr500,took me months to work out what caused it,(pressure washing was blowing the odd grain of sand up the carb overflow,& it was finding its way into the slide,never thought you could get sparked out by a grain of sand....
  19. Yeah,but I have to keep em simple,or I wont understand it.
  20. OP means they will not buy kerro,but fall back onto using more logs,ie buy more logs,simples.
  21. Thats a big one,we need a pic of it next to a rule for posterity.

Thank Lisa for the offer of help the other week,it was most heart warming,& will be returned if you need it anytime,for those reading,I bust a big toe joint,& could not drive for a while,Lisa,who I only have met one or two times (& for only a few minutes),offered to go shopping etc for me,right out of the blue. & for thase that havnt found out,hard surfaces & wacker plates are not the best place to get your foot between!
