  1. I have pulled willow out of a river which had rooted itself in full flow.
  2. Same problem here this was not too far from our house, a clip from the local paper.AN INVESTIGATION was under way yesterday into the cause of a huge grass fire in Risca. The Argus reported yesterday how firefighters tackled the blaze near Eppynt Close in Ty Sign on Monday. The 20 firefighters were called to the scene just before 2.30pm to put out the flames which had destroyed grassland in a 500 metres square area. South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said officers returned to the scene yesterday afternoon to start investigations into the cause of the fire. We had the same problem last year in the same area.
  3. When I had signs made I used some painted boards as a base then a simple business name and phone number put on them and attached them to the van, so if you replace the van you can take them off and put on the new one.

  14. An Italian woman gets onto a bus with her baby. The bus driver tells her, "That's the ugliest baby that I've ever seen. Ugh!" The Italian woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She tells to a man next to her, "Eh, dat driver ova dere justa insulteda me!" The man replies, "You go right up there and tell him off. Go ahead, I'll hold your monkey for you."
  15. Benny worked in the garment district. Hard. Very hard. He was routinely putting in fifty-and sixty-hour weeks, but at a rate barely above minimum wage, survival in the city was tough. One day he chucked it all and moved to Colorado. He took a simple job and spent all his time hiking the mountains and learning the terrain. Eventually he learned enough local geography to earn his Guide's license -- and he began to prosper. Another racks-to-ridges story.
