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!
