  • of course we have you nimwit. and i will also say my gran had a HOUSE toilet before most in england and she is 96

    How many Scotsmen does it take to change a light bulb?
    Och! It's no that dark!

    I wished the buck stopped here as I could use a few.

    Why do Americans sing "Take me out to the ball game" when they
    are already there?

    I always recycle mine, the secret is to rip it up and throw it in the middle of a large pile of paper :p

    when i was in peterborough we had a large wheelie bin for our rycyling and i could put it in that,, here in aylesbury we have stupid little black bins and are so restrictive on what we can and cant reycle that they actually go through the black bins and leave what you not allowed to bin.. yellow pages been put back in twice with a little note again reminding us of what we not allowed to recycle.. here im begining to think why bother as in peterborough i recycled loads ..

    I actually find that quite offensive, it's on par with racism.

    They can be recycled, but not along with normal paper because of the colour, it contaminates the other paper and makes the quality poor.

    In my area you can hand in your book at any council office for seperate recycling.

    Yeah I'm sorry I too was offended at the Scotland 'joke'.

    In fact a Scot invented the phone! So yes we do have telephones.
    We're all pawns in the game of life!!

    i like the yellow pages. if you just want to look up a shop there is no need to power up the pc, etc type in the website, write down the number, turn the pc off again and go to the phone!. I would think the yellow pages would be 100% faster :)


    The trouble with Yellow Pages is it is full of dodgy businesses, if you are looking for a job doing then never use Yellow Pages to find a company.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!
