Hee hee....
A very wealthy lawyer vacationed for several weeks each year at his summer home in the backwoods of Maine.
Each summer, he would invite friends to come to visit him.
One summer he invited a lawyer from the Czech Republic to visit.
The friend, eager to see how a wealthy American vacationed, gratefully agreed.
They had a wonderful vacation, and spent a great deal of time exploring the woods and enjoying the natural setting.
One morning, as the lawyer and his Czech friend were walking through the woods, they were approached by two huge bears -- a male and a female.
The lawyer noticed them in time to run for cover.
His friend, however, was not so lucky.
The male bear reached him and swallowed him whole.
Seeing this, the lawyer ran to his Mercedes and sped for the nearest town to get the local sheriff.
The sheriff grabbed a high-powered rifle and they raced back to the berry patch.
Luckily, the bears were still there.
“He's in THAT one!” cried the lawyer, pointing at the bear that had consumed his friend.
“Quick -- shoot it. Maybe we can still save my friend!”
The sheriff looked at the bears, levelled his gun, took careful aim, and shot the female.
His aim was true, and the female bear collapsed to the ground.
The startled male fled into the woods.
“Why did you do that?” demanded the lawyer, “I said he was in the other bear!”
“Exactly,” replied the sheriff.
“Would you believe a lawyer who told you that the Czech was in the male?”

What planet are they on? MPs get inflation busting pay rise AND expenses soar to £93m (while ordinary Brits fight recession) How many will survive the next election? I see a lot of independent candidates winning seats.

H/T Pete H
From the Museum...
Hello Theo;
Thank you so much for your assistance with spreading the word on the corrosion issue we are currently experiencing with our Lancaster. I was just speaking with a friend of your’s – Pete H who encouraged me to respond to you.
Anything you can do to generate interest in support is so very much appreciated and you certainly appear to have an active blog.
The biggest problem we have encountered is the discovery that they are so VERY rare, which has prompted us to appeal for funding to enable us to purchase the 15 remaining blades currently located in the US. The immediate problem is the prop on the #1 engine which has grounded the aircraft but we are appealing for funding to allow us to purchase all the US blades. We know that when the next inspection comes due on the other three props they will be reaching the end of the flying life.
We will use our website to update everyone on the progress. I noticed that you have taken the text from our site in your message. I can assure you that our website is a secure on-line site and any donations that are received through the website are secure. Otherwise any of your friends/acquaintances can mail a cheques to the museum.
I have attached a copy of the donor card that was sent to all the museum members and supporters and if there is anything else you would like, please let me know.
Thanks again
Pam

Things I Remember........
I remember carbon paper.
I remember the smell of the mimeograph.
I remember when the postman delivered mail twice a day.
I know why we “dial” a phone number or “turn” it to a certain television channel.
I remember the fading “dot” when you turned off the television.
I used to draw against Matt Dillon in the opening credits of “Gunsmoke,” and won every time (of course, I was just using my finger, while he had a real gun).
I’ve illegally copied music by holding a tape recorder up to an AM radio.
… And that you used to have to push “record” and “play” buttons to get it to record.
I’ve opened a can of Spam with a key (and tuna fish too).
I remember when milk was delivered to your door in pint-sized glass bottles.
I’ve opened a bank account with one pound.
I remember not having an indoor toilet… and when we got one put in what used to be a cupboard. I was the first to use it but I was afraid to flush it. I had to have Dad flush it for me.
I remember the insurance man coming every week to collect a weekly premium.
I know there used to be leaded petrol.
You could only get watermelon in the summer.
I remember adjusting roller skates with a skate key.
I remember phone booths.
Crushing beer can took a LOT more effort, because they were made out of tin instead of aluminium.
When you returned empty drinks bottles, they sent them back to the factory to get refilled… and you got your deposit back.
If you couldn’t afford a colour TV, you could buy a plastic overlay for your screen that was blue on the top and green on the bottom.
