Jeez, I never typed all that out, it has been unashamedly ripped off from another forum, seems true for all forums though don't it.

Couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things.
During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember.
Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair.
'Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?' he asks.
'Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?'
'Sure.'
'Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?' she asks.
'No, I can remember it.'
'Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so's not to forget it?'
He says, 'I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries. '
'I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, please write it down?' she asks.
Irritated, he says, 'I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!'
Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs.
She stares at the plate for a moment. 'Where's my toast ?'

I tried to keep this a secret, but somehow the news leaked out, so I thought I’d better tell everyone.
Most of you know my girlfriend went in for a surgical procedure - an Arse Lift.
She didn't have the most pleasant experience.
She should've left well alone.
I wanted to show you how it turned out.
I hope this keeps YOU from having this done.
Please, PLEASE, PLEASE . . . don't get an Arse Lift. You will most certainly regret it !!!

Hi Everyone
If you are interested in getting an iPad I can get hold of them through a contact.
The numbers are limited. I have 10 iPads going for less than half price – it’s first come first served.
I have already sold one (picture is attached below so you can see what you are getting – they are from a cancelled Health Department contract due to the cutbacks.)
Get back to me as quick as you can if you want one. Please see sample herewith…

Cheers everyone for all the positive replies, he makes me such a proud dad EVERYDAY,
but I'm dead chuffed hes got an interest in music,
OK, I guided him into a bit when he was younger,
but listening to, enjoying and sometimes learning an instrument seems to run through our family.

go into partner ship with your wife. I'm not 100% sure but the guy who told me said the limit is doubled. If its wrong he's in some serious shhhhh
I'm in a partnership in a LTD company, the threshold is still the same, 70k, its just been increased by 3K.
If you aren't limited, start one up and then you'll have two separate thresholds,
Sole trader and LTD.
With me and my partner as individual sole traders and a shared LTD Co we have 3 different ways of earning dough:thumbup:

Think the builders wont give a toss All they wont is to get paid at the end of the day and will do anything.

5 minutes before it came on I said to a mate "I'm off to watch my big fat gipsy wedding, I meet even see some of the family!"
Then Mick pops up on it.

Don't forget that NOT being VAT registered makes a big difference to your quote for most domestic clients and gives you more chance of getting the work:thumbup:

I dare say that loads of you have climbed to some dizzy heights but I bet you can't beat theses guys!

I stand corrected sir

thank you for the info, I am filling out the application now. thanks again mark.
Someone offers you some collar, albeit a day, and you don't even acknowledge them?
Good luck in the future hunt for work matey!
Being self employed is all about networking and fingers in different pies, never look a gift horse in the mouth.

Passed my test in 2003 after having a mid life crisis and buying another Vespa 125:thumbup: but ended up needing more power to use a dual carraigeway:blushing:
The day I passed I bought an old Deauville with 89,000 miles on it!
I followed that with a Pan ST1100 and I've had this RF900 for the last 3 years.
Great bike, but TBH I'd rather have an ADV bike of some sort, the new 800 Tiger XC would do nicely:thumbup:
