    yeeeaahhh! bangs are gone for now, but will no boubt be back in a couple of weeks for Christmas, then New Year

    i would love to tell a joke on here but can't. (Truth is, i'm **** at telling them & the only ones i can remember are rude(nicely).

    so will try a couple i know.....

    Man walks into a bar................Ouch.

    Not going to do the next one, cos i thought it's funny but might be a bit too rude for here.

    Sorry Paula, i don't like rude jokes but i can't remember any (others) now. I'm rubbish at telling them. we need you & John (sarr) on here. you're funny. Come on all, tell us some more.

    cheers

    Dai,
    Ah, make the most of what we yet may
    spend,
    Before we too into the dust descend;
    Dust into Dust and under Dust, to lie,
    Sans Wine, sans Song, sans Singer and- sans end.
    Great sentiments, they've been about for a loooong time [​IMG]

    I dunno, all you youngsters wittering on about 50 and 60, wait till you get past 70.
    I can well recommend retirement so long as you have a bit more than the state handout.
    Over the years, just build up whatever things you need for whatever hobby you intend to pursue. The tools for gardening or woodwork, or the camera and lenses if photography is your thing, model railway layout and trains to run on it for second childhood yearnings.
    The girls can probably come up with lists for more ladylike pursuits.
    Just don't retire without the necessary "toys".

    UCLA STUDY

    A study worth sharing with friends both male and female:
    A study conducted by UCLA's Department of Psychiatry has revealed that the kind of face a woman finds attractive on a man can differ depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle.
    For example: If she is ovulating, she is attracted to men with rugged and masculine features. However, if she is menstruating, or menopausal, she tends to be more attracted to a man with duct tape over his mouth and a spear lodged in his chest while he is on fire.

    No further studies are expected.

    Just read them myself, IMP. I thought they were quite funny myself, but maybe that`s my humour, I don`t know.

    Dee-that cat one is particularly funny-like my two at home.
