    A farmer stopped by the local garage to have his tractor fixed.They couldn't do it while he waited, so he decided to walk home.

    On the way home he stopped at B&Q and bought a bucket and a gallon ofpaint. He then stopped at the feed store and picked up a couple of chickens anda goose. However, struggling outside the store he now had a problem - how tocarry his entire purchases home?

    While he was scratching his head he was approached by a little old ladywho told him she was lost. She asked, 'Can you tell me how to get to 1603Mockingbird Lane?'

    The farmer said, 'Well, as a matter of fact, my farm is very close tothat house I would walk you there but I can't carry this lot.'

    The old lady suggested, 'Why don't you put the can of paint in thebucket. Carry the bucket in one hand, put a chicken under each arm andcarry the goose in your other hand?'


    'Why thank you very much,' he said and proceeded to walk theold girl home.

    On the way he says 'Let's take a short cut through this alley. We'll be therein no time.'

    The little old lady looked him over cautiously then said, 'I am a lonely widowwithout a husband to defend me.. How do I know that when we get in the alleyyou won't hold me up against the wall, pull up my skirt, and have your way withme?'

    The farmer said, ‘Aw come on missus! I'm carrying a bucket, a gallon ofpaint, two chickens, and a goose. How on earth could I possibly hold you upagainst the wall and do that?'

    The old lady replied, ‘Put the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put thepaint on top of the bucket, and I'll hold the chickens.'

    Or you could just buy a 16GB flash drive-available on Amazon from £6.42...

    Thanks for all the help

    In the end i just deleted everything off the dongle, transfered the bigger file to the dongle and then onto my desktop

    Sadly this didnt fix the issue i was trying to resolve anyway!! (as my other thread on this board shows...)
