  1. A man is stopped by the police at midnight and asked where he's going.

     

    "I'm on the way to listen to a lecture about the effects of alcohol and drug abuse on the human body."

     

    The policeman asks, "Really? -------------And who's going to give a lecture at this time of night?"

     

    "My wife", came the reply

     

     

  2. "----------so

    In the meantime, the NES is almost ground to a halt with the forums being clogged up with well deserved good wishes for Tomo's Birthday wishes.

     

    The Queens Birthday is loved by almost all Aussie bludgers, co's we get another annual holiday, so what do we call Tomo's day?------------Just Driftin Day, Just Jabbin Day, Post a Pic Day-------or-------Turbo's Blown his Gasket Day----------or

     

     

  3. Lemons are bit on the dear side at the moment anyway, but don't worry, i'm sure you'll be over the moon when they arrive.

     

    Accept the fact there there may be a few points that you'd have liked to have been a bit better, but if this is the case, you'll sort it out for sure, much to the envy of many of us here.

     

    Keep us posted, we're all very interested.

     

    Kind Regards

  4. An attorney arrived home late, after a very tough day trying to get a stay of execution for a client who was due to be hanged for murder at midnight.

     

    His last minute plea for clemency to the governor had failed and he was feeling worn out and depressed.

     

    As soon as he walked through the door at home, his wife started on him about, 'What time of night to be getting home is this? Where have you been?' 'Dinner is cold and I'm not reheating it'. And on and on and on. Too shattered to play his usual role in this familiar ritual, he went and poured himself a shot of whiskey and headed off for a long hot soak in the bathtub, pursued by the predictable sarcastic remarks as he dragged himself up the stairs.

     

    While he was in the bath, the phone rang. The wife answered and was told that her husband's client, James Wright, had been granted a stay of execution after all. Wright would not be hanged tonight. Finally realizing what a terrible day he must have had, she decided to go upstairs and give him the good news.

     

    As she opened the bathroom door, she was greeted by the sight of her husband, bent over naked, drying his legs and feet.

     

    "They're not hanging Wright tonight," she said.

     

    To which he whirled around and screamed, "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WOMAN, DON'T YOU EVER STOP?" 068_angry.gif.cc43c1d4bb0cee77bfbafb87fd434239.gif

     

     

  5. In the days when you couldn’t count on a public toilet facility, an English woman was planning a trip to India. She was registered to stay in a small guest house owned by the local schoolmaster. She was concerned as to whether the guest house contained a WC. In England, a bathroom is commonly called a WC which stands for “Water Closet”.

     

    She wrote to the schoolmaster inquiring of the facilities about the WC. The school master, not fluent in English, asked the local priest if he knew the meaning of WC. Together they pondered possible meanings of the letters and concluded that the lady wanted to know if there was a “Wayside Chapel” near the house . . . a bathroom never entered their minds.



     

     

     

    So the schoolmaster wrote the following reply:

     

     

     

    Dear Madam,

     

     

     

    I take great pleasure in informing you that the WC is located 9 miles from the house. It is located in the middle of a grove of pine trees, surrounded by lovely grounds. It is capable of holding 229 people and is open on Sundays and Thursdays. As there are many people expected in the summer months, I suggest you arrive early. There is, however, plenty of standing room. This is an unfortunate situation especially if you are in the habit of going regularly.

     

     

     

    It may be of some interest to you that my daughter was married in the WC as it was there that she met her husband. It was a wonderful event. There were 10 people in every seat. It was wonderful to see the expressions on their faces. We can take photos in different angle.

     

     

     

    My wife, sadly, has been ill and unable to go recently. It has been almost! a year since she went last, which pains her greatly. You will be pleased to know that many people bring their lunch and make a day of it. Others prefer to wait till the last minute and arrive just in time. I would recommend your ladyship plan to go on a Thursday as there is an organ accompaniment. The acoustics are excellent and even the most delicate sounds can be heard everywhere.

     

     

     

    The newest addition is a bell which rings every time a person enters. We are holding a bazaar to provide plush seats for all since many feel it is long needed. I look forward to escorting you there myself and seating you in a place where you can be seen by all.

     

     

     

    With deepest regards,

     

     

     

    The Schoolmaster

     

     

     

    The Woman fainted reading the reply…….. and she cancelled her trip to India!!!!

     

     

     

     

     

     

  6. Hi Frank,

     

    I love this one too. It's just so similar to The Smiths I posted 18/10/10:laugh:

     

    Gee, that photographer is a busy man!

     

    I'm envious of him, he seems to have all the luck, but he seems to be panting harder this time. Must be all that jogging :confused:

     

    Maybe we also need a pre-post check list, but these things happen:clap:

     

    Enjoy your weekend.

     

    Regards

  7. The Captain whose battery was running a bit low and could'nt hear right, responded,

     

    "Yea come to think of it I have two S-neakers and they can get pretty high this time of year".

     

    Nanna replied, "He said Seneaca's dear, your just not listening".

     

    "Mine did'nt come cheap, i'll have you know, I'm a man of means and they have a Reebok label on them".

     

    Making allowances for his advancing years, she simply smiled diplomatically and said "Just go and have a fly in your Jabiru, or, was it a BoxKite"?

     

    "You can come too, he said. No strings attached, This Time"----------so

     

     

  8. :drums: How come Italian's don't like Jehovah witnesses?They don't like any witnesses :kboom:

  9. Hey Tomo, how are you going with judging the calendar entries? I gave myself a fright, looking at my diary this morning, not too many weeks left to compile, print, advertise and sell these before Christmas.Cheers Carl

    Don't panic Carl-----------------Remember a slow job takes a long time if it's to be done well, and Tomo will make sure it is.

     

    I think the calenders maybe for the next financial year and start on the first of July:laugh:006_laugh.gif.0f7b82c13a0ec29502c5fb56c616f069.gif006_laugh.gif.d4257c62d3c07cda468378b239946970.gif

     

     

  10. Congratulations Sloper, you must be feeling on a high.

     

    The hard part is coming to a decision in the first place.

     

    Gary Morgans offerings look top shelf, and if my pockets were deeper, it would give me a lot of pleasure to make a post like yours.

     

    Keep us posted, but don't burn too much midnight oil during construction..

     

    Kind Regards

  11. All around Bankstown Airport the green bits seem to be being replaced with concrete and "for lease" signs, having driven many organisations out through financial greed.

     

    I understand that any private organisation has to keep the "bean counters" happy, but it sure seems to come at a pretty high price to many who have been operating there successfully for many decades.

     

    You only need to have a chat with the likes of Ray Clamback or many others affected by their grab for land to turn into extra $$$. The way many have been treated by BAL is beyond reproach.

     

    The roadway on the western side near the golf course has been closed for quite a long time now, and I understand the official reason given, was that the road needed maintenance. I specifically checked the road only yesterday, and it looked as good as it's ever been. However, there's a lot of work going on the green bit behind it, which is being dug up probably for more concrete strutures, unless i'm wrong.

     

    It's really sad to see vital infrastructure for a supposedly modern city bastardised in this way.

     

    If they recognise that they could have done things better, good on them, it's about bloody time. Hopefully they can retrieve the situation before all is lost.

     

    Before too long, anyone wanting to come to Sydney, will have to come by road, or boat.

     

    Would'nt it be great if we had a government who had the balls and forsight to stipulate that what few airports we have left, be restricted to orgaisations involved in aviation related activities, instead of carpets, hammers and nails, and dancing schools etc?.

     

     

  12. .... an interest."

    "I don't have a Seneca" responded one of the more wrinkly NES'ers "Would a Senilecar do?"

     

    Too right it would" responded ..............

    Planey.

     

    Though they like to keep it a bit hush hush, many on here have one, but tuck it in the bushes out of sight behind the hangar :gerg::gerg::gerg:.

     

    There's no point in blabbing to the young'uns, they'll only take the Papa, india, sierre,sierra.068_angry.gif.e6e3bad802304927655e1c48b61088cd.gif:angry:068_angry.gif.e6e3bad802304927655e1c48b61088cd.gif and if they fly safe, they're no doubt get one too, given time.

     

     

  13. TBO's have to be earned not just stated by a hopeful manufacturer, to be valid. Nev

    You make some very good points there Nev (as usual)

    The engines in my sons cars never seem to last like mine do (hopefully he'll figure it out one day). despite telling him so much depents on the nut behing the throttle.

     

     

  14. and added that "I suppose thats only to be expected, because most were getting on a bit".....................whatever she meant by that?

     

    Young DalbyDitDot had a puzzled expression 034_puzzled.gif.13de25ca01afc5c2eb51a5155a4de661.gif as the 90% strong NES choir struck up with their rendition of "Memories":musicboohoo::kumbaya::gerg::gerg::gerg:followed by "Turn back the clock".

     

     

  15. "Who has been bored (or is it boared), quickly? asked and opined Ahlocks (at the same time). /QUOTE]

     

    "Well", piped up Nanna going a bit red in the cheeks. "Some of you flying types ask the most embarassing questions, but you would'nt dare admit to it in front of some of the fine upstanding members that i've come across here.

  16. A little boy and his grandfather are raking leaves in the yard. The little

     

    boy finds an earthworm trying to get back into its hole. He says, "Grandpa,

     

    I bet I can put that worm back in that hole."

     

     

     

    The grandfather replies, "I'll bet you five dollars you can't. It's too

     

    wiggly and limp to put back in that little hole."

     

     

     

    The little boy runs into the house and comes back out with a can of hair

     

    spray. He sprays the worm until it is straight and stiff as a board. Then

     

    he puts the worm back into the hole.

     

     

     

    The grandfather hands the little boy five dollars, grabs the hair spray, and

     

    runs into the house. Thirty minutes later the grandfather comes back out and

     

    hands the little boy another five dollars.

     

     

     

    The little boy says, "Grandpa, you already gave me five dollars."

     

     

     

    The grandfather replies, "I know. That's from your grandma."
