    I know this is bit a cruel but people who say "I lost my husband/wife" when they mean their h/w died. I'm always tempted to say "How careless of you", but fortunately never do.

    I was once asked in the States; "So tell me........Do You celebrate Independence Day in England?" Oh and the classic "Can you go to visit the queen for a cup of tea whenever you want?"

    This was from a Yank who thought England had a Big City called London, with nothing but beautiful countryside surrounding it, cluttered by quaint village cottages, that covered England, Scotland & Wales.

    This kind of calm down?:D
    The advice I give on here is based on my many years in the preservation industry. I choose to remain anonymous, I have no desire to get work from anyone. No one can give 100% accurate advice on a forum if I get it wrong you'll get a sincere apology and that's all:D

    I'll make you laugh on the other side of your face??????????

    How?
  • Found this on an old email and thought it was relevant, theres some absolute crackers in there (which in itself is a silly remark)

    On our wedding anniversary this year, my husband promised to treat me like a princess. He was as good as his word: he took me for a meal, got completely pi**ed and on the way home crashed into a concrete pillar at 120mph, killing me instantly.

    obviously hadn't tasted Kwik Save's cheddar.

    If Eastenders is so true to life, how come none of the loveable Cockney characters are Man Utd supporters?

    They say football is a game of two halves. Not for me it isn't. I regularly down eight or nine pints whilst watching a live game on Sky TV in my local.

    If smoking is bad for you, how come it cures Salmon?

    Why does Frank Bruno get a gong just because he's good at hitting people? I'm brilliant at it but the most I've ever got is 200 hours community service.

    They say good manners cost you nothing. B*llocks. I sent my daughter to finishing school and it cost me twenty bloody grand.

    If, as Freddie Mercury claimed, fat bottomed girls make the rocking world go round, isn't it about time that the city of Derby received some recognition for its contribution to astrophysics?

    In the 20th Century, Britain only made war with countries whose Capital cities began with the letter 'B' - Germany (Berlin), Argentina (Buenos Aires), Iraq (Baghdad), and Serbia (Belgrade). China changed the name of Peking to Beijing and we bombed their embassy. One hopes we will show a little more imagination in this century.
    Martin Harwood, Bradford.

    These so-called speed bumps are a joke. If anything, they slow you down.

    Now I've been going out with my girlfriend for some time, it seems OK when I break wind in bed. It's when I follow through that the petty arguments begin. I will never understand women.
    Chris Mapply, Carshalton.

    We should remember the tremendous contribution of the Queen Mother to the war effort: as the BBC pointed out, she 'bravely remained in London beside her husband' during the war. This contrasts sharply with the actions of my grandfather who, on the declaration of war immediately left his wife and children and p*ssed off, first to France, then North Africa, Italy, France (again) and finally Germany.

    The shame will always be with us.
    George Nisbet.

    Like the Queen Mum, my grandfather was a frequent visitor to the East End during the dark days of the blitz, but he was never hailed as a hero by the people of London . That's because he flew Heinkel bombers for the Luftwaffe.

    I would just like to say a big thank you to all those wonderful young people who stand on motorway slip roads (and in any weather) holding up boards telling us motorists where they lead to.

    Davina McCall says that dangling off a helicopter over the Grand Canyon on a 700 foot bungee rope was the most terrifying and dangerous thing she has ever done. She must be forgetting that she went out with Stan Collymore.

    So Sting is able to shag his wife for five hours without going off. I know how he feels. My wife is no oil painting either.

    To call Dr Harold Shipman 'Britain's worst serial killer' is utter nonsense. With more confirmed kills to his name than any other UK-based murderer, surely Dr. Shipman is 'Britain's best serial killer'.
    Colin Stagg, who was arrested in connection with one killing and turned out not to have done it in the first place, would qualify as the country's 'Worst Mass Murderer'.
    Danny King, Balham

    I heard recently that, on average, Alex Ferguson receives two turds in the post each week. What I want to know is, who's sending the other one?

    i was on a bus a few months ago and the woman in front of me saw some people she had not seen in a while - they exchanged plesantries and the the man enquired about her husband and the woman said he had died 3 months previously at which point the man said "i hope it was not serious!" !!
    Dogs return to eat their vomit, just as fools repeat their foolishness. There is no more hope for a fool than for someone who says, "i am really clever!"

    I remember when I was young, if I was trying to find something and after looking for ages, my mum would say "alright then, I'll have a look, but I'd better not find it for your sake".
