Tat's just Looney.


Saw this guy from the North East on a beach in Spain. As one who keeps havering whether or not to have a small late midlife (or thereabouts) crisis tattoo done on my arm, I asked him if this magnificent Looney Tunes one hurt. That didn't, he said - and neither did the scores more over the rest of his body (except his artificial leg). But the one under his armpit did.
Ewwww!

  • Seville Rest


    On a rainy day in the North of England, this picture I recently took of a young lady in Seville reminds me that somewhere, someone on this the longest day, is getting our share of the sun.

    Facing death

    Bloke in the pub died over the weekend. Let's say he was called, very unimaginatively, Bill Smith.
    Conversation went like this:

    "Bill Smith's dead"
    "Who?" (that's me)
    "Bill Smith"
    "Don't know him"
    "You do"
    "Don't"
    "Course you do"
    "Do I"
    "Yes"
    "Don't"
    "Course you do!"
    "I bloody don't!"
    "Hmmmph. Well you'd recognise his face if you saw him".

    Why do people always say that? Which other part are you supposed to recognise? And do I really want to see him now he's dead?

  • Tea hee

    Here's something that has me puzzled.
    When my wife hands me a cup of freshly-made coffee and she is holding the handle, I can grab hold of the cup.
    When she hands me a cup of freshly-made tea, it burns my fingers.
    Why?
    They have both been made with boiling water, so why is the cup with the tea hotter than the coffee?
    Eh? Eh?

    Radio Gogo

    Came across this brilliant site called Radiopaq. Radio stations from all over the world at the touch of a button in crystal clear sound plus you can customise your start page to include your favourite stations, local weather and traffic conditions.
    You can easily find stations that specialise in anything from different decades to one that just plays Beethoven or the Blues.
    The perfect antidote to the shit that is modern British television.
    I love it.

    In Dreams

    My dreams are very vivid. Last night's was no exception. I dreamt a joke.
    It happened like this:
    There were two fat blokes in what looked like a play area next to a big hall. They were comedians.
    A third fat comedian turned up and I shouted across to them:"Ha ha - it's the Three Tenors!" Whereupon, they stood in a line and started singing Nessun Dorma.
    I stood in front of them conducting with my arms.
    As they got to the crescendo bit at the end, I waved my arms aloft encouraging them to keep together in tune and shouted :"Hold it!"
    They all stopped singing.
    I said "I meant hold the ****ing note - not stop!"
    Collapse of stout parties into laughter.

    In a later dream, I was drinking a particularly tasty organic red French wine out of a bottle. (I normally prefer New World ones). I poured some in a cup (I know) and there were bits in it. I said to a nearby bloke :" That's why it tastes so good, it's all the stalks and natural stuff."
    He said: "I'll put it through a tea strainer". So he did - and as it filtered through, there was a collection of black thin wiry looking stuff.
    "See" I said. "That's the natural goodness".
    "I doubt it" he said. And on closer inspection, he was correct.
    It turned out to be a heap of black pubic hair.

    You didn't wanna know that did yer?

    What a load of sheet!

    If this is art I am happy to be a Philistine.

    In fact it's not art. It's shit. Sheer unadulterated shit.
    And if anyone is daft enough to pay £2,800 for a pebble wrapped in a sheet they should be castrated, sectioned then wrapped in a sheet and set alight.
    Tracey Emin must be laughing up her fanny at the mugs who pay outrageous prices for this load of tosh. Good luck to her I say.
    I'm surprised at the Guardian for promoting such crap.
    Hurry if you're a mentalist. Only 25 sheet-wrapped pebbles left.
    25X £2,800 = £75,000!

  • She had guts.

    Supermarket yesterday.
    Old lady in wheelchair: Can you reach me those pears please?
    Me: Certainly love
    Lady: Get me about three.
    Me: No problem love
    Lady: They are the best thing you can have for your bowels.
    Me: I have no problems on that score love
    Lady: Oh I do. For instance...
    Me: Ooops is that the time? Must dash. Bye love...

    Why do old ladies find it incumbent upon themselves to have to discuss their bowel movements with total strangers? In Lancashire, we call it "putting a road" through and you'll frequently hear them say:
    "Eee I used to be so regular but now I haven't had a road put through me in five days".
    The usual remedy for this used to be California Syrup of Figs.
    I usually find that 8 pints of bitter followed by a Rogan Josh has a similar effect.
    But you didn't really want to know that, did you?
    It must be catching.

    This guy says it all for me about the total shifty incompetence that is Gordon Brown.
