I’ve posted a fair number of Irish jokes here. Here’s one from Yorkshire. Old Baisby was a fixture in the village; his family had been there for generations. When finally none of his children were interested in farming as a career he sold up and moved to a small cottage on near the end of the villag...

Great, althoughI would add "Never pass up a chance to pee." That was a bit of wisdom I received from my father. It didn't really make sense until I was about Fourty.

Outstanding! love them both.

A Nigel (1) walks into a gentleman’s club (2) in Islington and finds that it's quite crowded. No room at the bar and after scanning the room he sees one man sitting at a table alone. The man looks uncommonly familiar to him so he walks over and asks if the other seat is available. The man, an Americ...

Our old friend Seamus won a raffle. The prize was a brand new pair of shoes, a fine and sturdy pair of brogans. And it was fine care that Seamus took in breaking the new pair in. Sure and didn’t he decide to take his old pair to the Old man Reilly the cobbler for fresh heels and soles. But, as we al...

A friend named Rourke from Melbourne told me that no true Australian would work for the "Guvmint" . Not being in my right mind at the time I asked him if he thought "Australian Government Employee" was an oxymoron. Then he punched me in the head for calling him names. I got even ...

Dear me, I failed to sign my last post with love and kisses :D As I see it you have two options with a possible third that is a bit dodgy so we'll save it for last. You could pursue the Indian manufacturers for a suitable and probably cheaper tyre and if posssible form a group of other interested pa...

Tony, quit your sulking and use that lump between your ears for something other than a hatrack ;-) Seriously though you need to look at it with new eyes. You have a former Soviet client state not to terribly far from you. For decades India bought most their military vehicles and small arms and artil...

It's naught to do with me, But I don't fancy I need anymore for now.

I have included a link.

Here's an outfit I used to get some heavy but not too bulky Helo parts to Darwin. I thought they were quite reasonable. If your level of urgency is low their a great fit. They were referred to me by a guy who restores Bentleys in Melbourne. They take care of all the customs forms. Just don't be too ...

Tony, There seems to be an inexhaustable supply of "Ratbags" in the world. I've encountered quite a few myself. I've seen some of the "conspiracy" theories floating about, and it has the same fecund aroma as the "911 conspiracy tripe". It seems whenever tragedy strikes ...

[quote="w30bob"]Here's another pic of the prototype. The other interesting vehicle Chrysler was working on was the T53A1, a 3/4 ton CABOVER. We could be restoring and driving those today instead of our M37s if they didn't cost soo much to build. :D Not "instead" of but in "a...

Thanks Bruce, My Dad could tell great stories. All I'm trying to do is get them committed to some sort of documentation.
He had a substantial repertoire. We shared a penchant for puns which I enjoy using to embarrass my grand kids.

This is another of my Fathers stories, it has always been one of my favorites. Every year since he had been a teenager Don had taken time off for deer season. He truly enjoyed the experience of being out in the natural world absorbing the fresh air and on occasion bagging a nice buck. He usually wen...

Pretty good Tony, Annie must have a strong constitution since she married you anyway.
