Off Topic The Goodhand Arms

My youngest has just discovered Weird Al ('Eat It' being his fave) so with that in mind and to keep in the Star Wars parody vein:

 

I’ve just turned off my phone because I have to do something.


Does anyone know what it was?

 

Do you know why you're in that room?

 

Your interview to become the next Saints manager?

 

Too late now, Pope Donald? Perhaps not. Pope Leo XIV

 

It took all week, but they finally paid me out!

 

Anyone still wondering what became of the Tinkerman?

 

I was trying to work out who he reminded me of!

 

It’s a bit spooky that he’s been managing Roma and suddenly appears just up the road in a puff of white smoke!

 

Not long got back from the dentist, appointment was made 1 week ago.
Arrived to an empty waiting room and for the first time ever, I was a few minutes late being called into the dentist’s surgery (?).
Explained the problem with my molar and a quick check revealed that the old silver filling was no longer effective and was told that she could replace it straight away.
Result as I thought I would have to book a follow up appointment.
25 minutes later I have a brand new white composite filling for the princely sum of €80.
A quick Google search says that the equivalent price at a UK private dentist would be between £100- £180, depending on the tooth filled.
I would recommend my dentist to anyone and reckon my teeth wouldn’t be in such a mess if I had found someone like her 10-15 years ago.

 

You are lucky you didn't go to a union dentist. One out all out.

 

Or an American, one Yank and they're out. Similar to the wartime saying re ladies underwear, one Yank and they're off.

 

You have heard of the Glasgow Kiss and the French kiss but have you heard of the Aussie Kiss? It's the same as the French Kiss but down under.

 

That's a more complex version of that Ghoti/fish thing. Funny old language, English

 

Our latest houseguest - been babysitting a young magpie for the last fortnight or so till it can feed itself. It's flying now and spends most of the time in the trees around the house but because I'm still feeding it, it flew into the kitchen looking for me and scared the life out of my wife

My dog isn't sure what's going on, but she's amazingly gentle with it and lets it ride on her back occasionally

It sits on my shoulder when I'm in the garden, like a Temu parrot

 

Is that a red Labrador? My dog looks very similar but the outcome would not be the same for that bird if it decided to sit that close I think!

 

She is a red, just over 3 years old. She's a very good dog and is pretty good with any other animals, except squirrels. She would run through a wall to get to a squirrel.
