Anything goes

Strailya Mate An Australian, a Kiwi and South African are in a bar one night having a beer. All of a sudden the South African drinks his beer, throws his glass in the air, pulls out a gun and shoots the glass to pieces. "In Seth Efrika our glasses are so cheap that we don't need to drink from the same one twice," he says. The Kiwi, obviously impressed by this, drinks his beer, throws his glass into the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the glass to pieces. "Wull mate, in Noo Zulland we have so much sand to make the glasses that we don't need to drink out the same glass either," he says. The Australian, cool as a Koala, picks up his beer and drinks it,throws …

More tales from the travels of Andy. This time moderately amusing. I had no flight hassles. It was Jake's turn this trip When I

THE BARN A New York man retired. He wanted to use his retirement money wisely, so it would last, and decided to buy a home and a few acres in Portugal. The modest farmhouse had been vacant for 15 yrs.; the owner and wife both had died, and there were no heirs. The house was sold to pay taxes. There had been several lookers, but the large barn had steel doors, and they had been welded shut. Nobody wanted to go to the extra expense to see what was in the barn, and it wasn't complimentary to the property anyway - so, nobody made an offer on the place. The NY guy bought it at just over half of the property's worth; moved in, and set about to tear in to the barn - c…

And who said the Irish were daft?! Old Sean lived alone in Northern Ireland. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, Mick, who used to help him, was in an English prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament: Dear Mick, I am feeling a mite down because it looks like I won't be able to plant me potato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me. Love, Dad A few days later he received a letter from his son: Dear Dad, For CHRIST'S SAKE, don't dig up the garden! That's where I bu…

I have business meetings there next month and never been anywhere even close to that region. What's it like?

On my recent 2500mile rounder to FL and back, I did not spot any trains. I did, however spot this. Much larger! Cannot get it all in the viewfinder! Thought I would share a few pic's! It is the USS Alabama, sitting in Mobile Bay. There is a fair amount of history about this 60 something year old ship. Suffice it to say that as something of a WWII history buff myself, I find it difficult to miss an oppertunity for a tour. Yet I need half the day minimum to rush through things here. Cannot do it justice, yet I sent the wife off on a shopping spree just to buy some time! And as an engineering study, these massive beasts stand alone. How all this was done via sliderule shal…

I know a few of you boy racers have got scooby's on here, so thought I'd try and trawl your collective knowledge banks. If for instance a middle aged mate of mine were to come across a mid life crisis some time soon, and go out to buy a parallel import Scooby WRX would you have any guidance. Any disadvantages to these parallel imports. My middle aged mate tells me they are imported from Cyprus and sold by a fairly large dealership somewhere near me (who also provide service and backup). The three year warranty is apparently fully valid in UK. The trade in price after a couple of years seems to close in very quickly on the genuine UK vehicles. Any info for my poor old…

Hiya, I think I'd quite like a WW2 strategy game, where you're in control of a unit of blokes on the ground, but isn't too difficult (not too easy either), more in for the enjoyment, tanks would be nice . I know Andy is right into these, and you lot will know more than me. Are there any games you would particularly suggest. I would quite like to have one that you can play two player over a LAN aswell so I can stove my brother in. Bob

Found this one, it is a Java based game not too bad, it is basically just tutorial levels. http://ourawesomegames.com/pub/bigfun.html

"what do you want for christmas?" says the wife "oh how kind, i would like a beta riding top to go with my beta please, their red and on the left as you walk in the shop" "consider it done". so this morning i reach for my parcel from under the tree, it feels about right, it weighs about right, i open with visions of being fully cordinated at tommorows trial. its blue and has sherco written right across the front.........

Some of you parents out there will have teenage children who can drive or are learning to drive and I'm posting to see if anyone knows of insurance companies who specialise in young drivers. I've recently added my 17 year old son to my own car policy as a learner (taken my

I'm not member of any gardening forums so here goes. I have a Ryobi petrol Strimmer which you can attach mini chain saws to etc. I laid it up in autumn with fuel in tank. Now it starts but only runs on choke. When choke comes off out dies like fuel starvation. There are no obvious leaks , petrol looks and smells good.Both pipes running to and from the tank look good. Was working perfectly before laid up. I took the carb apart and cleaned it and resealed it with gasket sealer, but didn't pull the diaphragm off. It still runs the same. It's probably a common problem. Have you experience with this and any ideas on what is likely to be causing this problem ? Any …

could the bbc have chosen a more unrepresentative group of legal off road use or used less emotive language or found any physical evidence. i;d hope that nest week theres a feature on the scars left by walkers.. itwm starts at 18 minutes http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00wstlg/Countryfile_12_12_2010/
