This is why the Germans have a reputation as a nation which has no sense of humour. It actually doesn’t work as a joke. It would if Shakespeare has entitled his play The Merry Wives of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha in the first place and Kaiser Bill has suggested changing it to The Merry Wives of Windsor but in the form given it was a weak attempt at humour at best. I cannot believe I am pointing out to dead Germanic nobility why their jokes are so ****.
I quite liked it, proof that humour is indeed subjective. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
On 21st June 1908, Hull women hired a special train to London for a “Women’s Sunday” rally organised by the Women’s Social and Political Union, attended by 300,000 to 500,000; the Hull contingent is said to be the largest from any provincial society. please log in to view this image https://www.facebook.com/HEYhistorycalendar
So, more Hull men had to cook their own Sunday dinners than elsewhere. Bit of a bugger. They should have told them they weren’t going.
I went to the 4-1 Wimbledon match, at Plough Lane, with the Persil tokens. That's the last time I ever ironically cheered an opposition consolation goal. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
I've liked that as they'll be those that take you literally. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
I do wonder how people remember these things. I usually had to check the scores on a Monday before going to work, just in case anyone asked me about the game, never mind recalling these things years later. I can often recall the pubs we found though.
If the men had owt about 'em, they'd have got the woman of the house to cook it on the day before so ya could heat it up in the oven.
A real blast from the past - was telling g'kids about Persil tokens, they thought it was more g'dad kidology!
ahh! the bardney TT. from bardney we go all the way to horncastle to fill up near that garage that isnt a garage anymore then head back to willy woods . back to the humber bridge via holton le moor moortown howsham kettleby lane to avoid plod on the high street. and then avoid the deer up the forrested hill NW of elsham. B1206? and stick on that all the way to barton cut through the estate for the best corner on the route on forkedale. ive done 9 courses. 2 of them dash cam send ins from upright members of society. one appeared on a look north program. i once overtook an old bmw heading back to fimber near the creamatorium roundabout and then a mile later saw his lights behind me so decided to put some space between us on an empty road not going too mad keeping it under 150. it was the fat guy on the hayabusa. road block in sledmere. then it took the busa cop what seemed like a minute to arrive. i asked to see the footage. he said no point you are only on it once. so he said ill do you 100mph point to point. fine £500 = 6 points and used the old exceptional hardship to avoid a ban. 5 yrs later got done 111 on the M62 and used the same excuse. they dont even ask the details of the person you are citing but i was telling the truth. the pregnant girlfriend might have been an add on. can i ask what bike you ride spesupersydera?
around 2000 we used to watch itvs sunday football highlights to find out the score. never got quite as drunk at away games as i invariably had to drive.

Couple of years ago I downsized from an upright gixxer (GSX-S100F) to a 650 V-Strom, I was getting too old for the on/off power and went for comfort, it keeps up ok on twisties but no top end.
