  1. A blonde walks into a bank in London and asks to see the manager. She says she's going to Hong Kong on business for two weeks and needs to borrow
  2. They should, i've just paid
  3. Do you also win a lot of "SPOT THE DIFFERENCE" competitions in the Daily newspapers. Good photo's.
  4. This is my solution for the UK, i was stopped in traffic, idleing, wasting fuel going nowhere surrounded by 50t trucks. These monsters should be made to go on night shift to move freight around the country, the only time trucks over 10t should be allowed on the motorways is between the times of 2230h until 0530h then they remove themselves. They would easy reach their destination on time, and every person who drive cars and works between the hours 0600h and 2000h would get to work on time with no traffic jams. Lets split then into two groups, pay the truck drivers a bit more for the night shift hours and everybody would be happier travelling.

  6. STORY NUMBER ONE Many years ago, Al Capone virtually owned Chicago Capone wasn't famous for anything heroic. He was notorious for enmeshing the windy city in everything from bootlegged booze and prostitution to murder. Capone had a lawyer nicknamed "Easy Eddie." He was his lawyer for a good reason. Eddie was very good! In fact, Eddie's skill at legal maneuvering kept Big Al out of jail for a long time. To show his appreciation, Capone paid him very well. Not only was the money big , but also, Eddie got special dividends. For instance, he and his family occupied a fenced-in mansion with live-in help and all of the conveniences of the day. The estate was so large that it filled an entire Chicago City block. Eddie lived the high life of the Chicago mob and gave little consideration to the atrocity that went on around him. Eddie did have one soft spot,however. He had a son that he loved dearly. Eddie saw to it that his young son had clothes, cars, and a good education. Nothing was withheld. Price was no object. And, despite his involvement with organized crime, Eddie even tried to teach him right from wrong. Eddie wanted his son to be a better man than he was. Yet, with all his wealth and influence, there were two things he couldn't give his son; he couldn't pass on a good name or a good example. One day, Easy Eddie reached a difficult decision. Easy Eddie wanted to rectify wrongs he had done. He decided he would go to the authorities and tell the truth about Al "Scarface" Capone, clean up his tarnished name, and offer his son some semblance of integrity. To do this, he would have to testify against The Mob, and he knew that the cost would be great! So, he testified. Within the year, Easy Eddie's life ended in a blaze of gunfire on a lonely Chicago Street . But in his eyes, he had given his son the greatest gift he had to offer, at the greatest price he could ever pay. Police removed from his pockets a rosary, a crucifix, a religious medallion, and a poem clipped from a magazine. The poem read: The clock of life is wound but once, And no man has the power To tell just when the hands will stop At late or early hour. Now is the only time you own. Live, love, toil with a will. Place no faith in time. For the clock may soon be still. STORY NUMBER TWO World War II produced many heroes. One such man was Lieutenant Commander Butch O'Hare. He was a fighter pilot assigned to the aircraft carrier Lexington in the South Pacific. One day his entire squadron was sent on a mission. After he was airborne, he looked at his fuel gage and realized that someone had forgotten to top off his fuel tank. He would not have enough fuel to complete his mission and get back to his ship. His flight leader told him to return to the carrier. Reluctantly, he dropped out of formation and headed back to the fleet. As he was returning to the mother ship he saw something that turned his blood cold: a squadron of Japanese aircraft were speeding their way toward the American fleet. The American fighters were gone on a sortie, and the fleet was all but defenseless. He couldn't reach his squadron on and bring them back in time to save the fleet. Nor could he warn the fleet of the approaching danger. There was only one thing to do. He must somehow divert them from the fleet. Laying aside all thoughts of personal safety, he dove into the formation of Japanese planes. Wing-mounted 50 caliber's blazed as he charged in, attacking one surprised enemy plane and then another Butch wove in and out of the now broken formation and fired at as many planes as possible until all his ammunition was finally spent. Undaunted, he continued the assault. He dove at the planes, trying to clip a wing or tail in hopes of damaging as many enemy planes as possible and rendering them unfit to fly. Finally, the exasperated Japanese squadron took off in another direction. Deeply relieved, Butch O'Hare and his tattered fighter limped back to the carrier. Upon arrival, he reported in and related the event surrounding his return. The film from the gun-camera mounted on his plane told the tale. It showed the extent of Butch's daring attempt to protect his fleet. He had, in fact, destroyed five enemy aircraft. This took place on February 20, 1942, and for that action Butch became the Navy's first Ace of W.W.II, and the first Naval Aviator to win the Congressional Medal of Honor A year later Butch was killed in aerial combat at the age of 29. His home town would not allow the memory of this WW II hero to fade, and today, O'Hare Airport in Chicago is named in tribute to the courage of this great man. So, the next time you find yourself at O'Hare International, give some thought to visiting Butch's memorial displaying his statue and his Medal of Honor. It's located between Terminals 1 and 2. SO WHAT DO THESE TWO STORIES HAVE TO DO WITH EACH OTHER? Butch O'Hare was "Easy Eddie's" son.
  7. An elderly couple had been dating for some time and they finally decide it's time for marriage. Before the wedding, they went out to dinner and had a long conversation regarding how their marriage might work. They discussed finances, living arrangements and so on. Finally the man decides it was time to broach the subject of their physical relationship. 'How do you feel about sex?' he asked hopefully. 'Well' - she says, responding very carefully- 'I'd have to say I would like it infrequently.' The man sat quietly for a moment. Then, looking over his glasses, he looked her in the eye & casually asked, 'Is that one word or two?'

Robert and Charles Ingersoll, the founders of one of the oldest American watch manufacturers established many milestones in the field of developing pocket watches and wrist watches. They followed an ambitious plan to on one hand, offer watches to the broad public and on the other hand to offer reasonable prices whilst maintaining real quality. In 1892 thanks to Henry Ford they succeeded to develop an automated production first for pocket watches and later for wrist watches. Alongside the existing handcrafted production of Ingersoll watches an automated production of watches was established. With high quality and precision, at the very reasonable price of 1 dollar (which was a days wages at the time) the so-called "Dollar-Watch" was born. The Dollar-Watch became so popular that about 1 million of these watches were produced. Even Theodore Roosevelt mentioned that during his hunting trip in Africa he was described as "the man from the country where Ingersoll was produced". The succes of the "Dollar Watch" from then on also called the "Yankee" was amazing. The Ingersoll brothers had to adapt to increasing production and increasing production plants. Meanwhile, the product range had been expanded by some technical pioneering refinements. Also the production of the smallest pocket watch ever seen had begun. In 1919 the Ingersoll brothers developed the first watch with the so called "night design", the "Radiolite" with luminoious dial. www.ingersoll-watches.co.uk, Tabernus Ltd, Registered Office: Middleborough House, 16 Middleborough, Colchester, Essex CO1 1QT All trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

    ass

    The Pastor's Ass The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won. The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and it won again. The local paper read: PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT. The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the pastor not to enter the donkey in another race. The next day, the local paper headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S ASS. This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the pastor to get rid of the donkey. The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent. The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the follo wing headline the next day: NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN. The bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey, so she sold it to a farmer for $10. The next day the paper read: NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10. This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild. The next day the headlines read: NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE. The bishop was buried the next day. The moral of the story is . . . being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery . . even shorten your life. So be yourself and enjoy life. Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and you'll be a lot happier and live longer! Have a nice day
  14. Admin comes up with an idea to pay monthly for this forum, Then somebody with too many brains in 1 head comes out with a statement again about IDIOTS. Where did you acquire all your knowledge, well as Max said in his last thread the attitude on this forum stinks. I was reading this and ready to vote on what i thought was fair, but forget it.
  15. If your going just go, have fun, The Zigmeister has had more come backs than Tyson, on this forum. Every 3 to 4 months he leaves and comes back. He started this thread ( riding off into the sunset, 2 more posts since he said bye ) and still he can't relax just go away and have a rest with your partner come back when your ready. I like learning not modding. HAVE SOME FUN.
  16. When we have statements like " YOU WILL RECEIVE CR4P, UNTIL YOU HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DEALER" 45 days minimum being a member on here seems to be the rule "ADMIN", and i will accept this watch because we are ALL IDIOTS "quote BSHITESOCKS" yesterday, he didn't get my name right either, nothing is going to change. I thought this forum was here to help people not shout them down and close ranks when they have a valid reason to question the QC of the seller. It's our money what paid for our watches, and we should receive our items as described. Regards, An Idiot

    Mothers.

    BEING A MOTHER... After 17 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to Take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, 'I love you, but I know this other woman Loves you and would love to spend some time with you.' * * * The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit Was my MOTHER, who has been alone for 20 years, But the demands of my work and my two boys had Made it possible to visit her only occasionally. * * * That night I cal led to invite her to go out for Dinner and a movie. * * * 'What's wrong, aren't you well,' she asked? * * * My mother is the type of woman who suspects that A late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news. * * * 'I thought it would be pleasant to spend some time with you, ' I responded. 'Just the two of us.' She thought about it for a moment, and then Said, 'I would like that very much.' * * * That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick Her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at Her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be Nervous about our date. She waited in the door. She had Curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had Worn to celebrate her last birthday on November 19th. * * * She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an Angel's'. 'I told my friends that I was going to Go out with my son, and they were impressed,' she Said, as she got into that new white van. 'They can't Wait to hear about our date'. * * * We went to a restaurant that, although not Elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took My arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat Down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only Read large print. Half way through the entries, I lifted My eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring At me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips. 'It was I Who used to have to read the menu when you were Small,' she said. 'Then it's time that you relax and Let me return the favor,' I responded. * * * During the dinner, we had an agreeable Conversation- -nothing extraordinary but catching up on Recent events of each other's life. We talked so much That we missed the movie. * * * As we arrived at her house later, she said, 'I'll Go out with you again, but only if you let me Invite you.' I agreed. * * * 'How was your dinner date ?' asked my wife when I got home. 'Very nice. Much more so than I could have Imagined,' I answered. * * * A few days later, my mother died of a massive Heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't Have a chance to do anything for her. * * * Some time later, I received an envelope with a Copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place Mother and I had dined. An attached note said: 'I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I Could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two Plates - one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for Me. I love you, son.' * * * At that moment, I understood the importance Of saying in time: 'I LOVE YOU' and to give our Loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life Is more important than your family. Give them the Time they Des erve, because these things cannot be put Off till 'some other time.' * * * Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get Back to normal after you've had a baby.... Somebody Doesn't know that once you're a mother, 'normal' is history. * * * Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by Instinct . Somebody never took a three-year-old Shopping. * * * Somebody said being a mother is boring ....somebody never rode in a car driven by a Teenager with a driver's permit. * * * Somebody said if you're a 'good' mother, Your child will 'turn out good'.... Somebody thinks a child comes with Directions and a guarantee. * * * Somebody said you don't need an education to be A mother.... Somebody never helped a fourth grader With his math. * * * Somebody said you can 't love the s econd child as Much as you love the first .... somebody doesn't have two children. * * * Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery.... somebody never watched her 'baby' get on the bus for the first day of kindergarten . or on a plane headed for military 'boot camp.' * * * Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her child gets married....somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to a mother's heartstrings. * * I love this xxxxxx* Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home....somebody never had grandchildr en. * * * Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell her.... somebody isn't a mother. Pass this along to all the 'mothers' in your life and to everyone who ever had a mother. This isn't just about being a mother; it's about appreciating the people in your life while you have them....no matter who that person is.
