Cleanup Solutions
I saw a guy on the Tube this morning with Cleanup Solutions on his smart black T-sheet. As I read it out of the corner of my eye, I thought it was called Cheerup Solutions!
Now there’s a name for a company!
What Are Bews?
This was the screen, when I was listening to Radio 5 this lunchtime.
What Are Bews?
Perhaps the BBC would tell us what bews are?
Angela Merkel on Greece
Well not really, but someone purporting to be her has tweeted.
I’m glad I’ve solved the Greek crisis and I look forward to solving it again next week.
Very funny! But it may well be true!
Topical Valentine Poems
We all know the poems that start Roses are red, violets are blue etc.
Richard Bacon on BBC Radio 5 Live proposed a topical one and listeners added a few more.
Roses are red, violets are blue, I’d like to be under permanent house arrest with you.
Roses are red, violets are blue, I think I’ll form a coalition with you.
Risk Assessment – Japanese Style
Obviously, the nation that gave the world, that amazing game called Endurance, the method of risk assessment at Tokyo Zoo will be different to anywhere else in the world. This video shows them dealing with a rhino,that has been assumed to have escaped.
This scene is doubly funny for me, as C always laughed like a drain, when Clive James showed the clips of Endurance.
Un Petit Amusement de la France
A friend sent me this amusing clock from France.
Just click it and it changes from analogue to digital and vice-versa.
Don’t worry if your French is not up to the level that is acceptable for a Republican presidential candidate as any liguaphobe can understand it.
By the way, I haven’t found a similar nude women clock.
A Good Spelling Mistake
I read this on CityWire‘s web site.
Newspapers and stationary retailer WH Smith (SMWH.L) is to release a Christmas trading statement on Wednesday.
Those who were at school with me, might remember a notice pinned to the door of the Stationery Office, which said something like.
Stationery Office
Hasn’t Moved in Years.
I hope we got the spelling right, as we were pupils at a Grammar School.
92 Clubs – Lancashire Humour
I saw this sign at Burnley Manchester Road station.
Does the World End At Leeds?
Notice that it just says Train. Does this mean that they are just one a day?
In fact, if I was the Fat Controller of Britain’s railways the line between Blackpool North, Preston, Blackburn, Burnley, Halifax, Bradford, Leeds and York is one that I’d upgrade seriously. It links the East Coast main line, at Leeds and York, with the West Coast main line at Preston. With three coach trains, an increased frequency and better bus/train interfaces like they have at Blackburn and it could have a postive benefit to the area. I didn’t see much of the countryside, in my four journeys on the line this week, as it was either raining or dark and sometines both.
Edinburgh’s Best Joke
This one from Nick Helm has been voted Edinburgh’s best joke according to the BBC.
I needed a password eight characters long so I picked Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
I always thought that Edinburgh’s best joke was the tram!
Solicitors from Hell
We’ve all used bad solicitors in the past, but few of us have done anything about it. But Rick Kordowski did according to this article in The Independent.
According to The Times yesterday, the solicitors don’t like what he’s doing and are turning their legal guns on him.
I’m reminded of the old American legal joke.
Q. What do you call a thousand American lawyers at the bottom of the sea?
A. A good start
