When you ask Customers to pay, just days before Christmas, there are, apparently, 3,752,891 excuses.

I once got stuck in a lift at Stanstead Airport*.

 

 

 

 

*Along with the Stanstead Airport lift engineer.

Stanstead doesn't have an airport! 

Neither do Gatewick or Healthrow or Looton...😋

Not completely useless but anyway, not sure about the rest of the world, but in Australia t-shirts have the tag at the bottom sewn into the left hand side stitching so you know which way to put your shirt on.

Handy in the dark or for blind people.

Novel to just ignore and then go out in public.

[Kimbers]

In the UK they put it at the back at the top stitching. Just saying.............makes more sense

[Sparky]

Similar to what C&A used to do with ladies' underwear.

[Kimbers]

What? In the Back? You mean ladies in C&A let you put it in the back? Why was I not told when I was younger!.............Are we talking the same thing still?

[Sparky]

You have much to learn, young padawan...

I dunno about you, but I get into my t-shirts from the bottom first. Not the top.

[Sparky]

You pull T-shirts over your bottom?

[ramjet]

Only when I have run out of jocks.

It does get rather tricky though getting your jeans on.

Watch Bad Santa. That's all I'm saying.

Just checked, the TLF poloshirt has the label bottom left. 😛

BBQ FACTS

We are about to enter the BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity . When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:

(1) The woman buys the food.

(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.

(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.

(4) The woman remains outside the compulsory three meter exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can take place without the interference of the woman.

Here comes the important part:
 (5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

(6) The woman goes inside to organise the plates and cutlery.

(7) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he flips the meat

Important again:
 (8) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

(9) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.

(10) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes

And most important of all:
 (11) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.

(12) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed ' her night off ', and, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women

Apparently the latest Jeep Wrangler has a 1 star NCAP rating.

I can see them just flying out the doors.

Not the passengers. The cars from the dealers.

Actually, thinking about it, it might be the passengers.

This is not an exposition of useless fact, but rather a useless question to alleviate useless curiosity. 

I saw a news headline over here about "Bonfire Night" goings on in England. Is Bonfire Night a politically-correct renaming of Guy Fawkes Day? If so, when did that bit of PC driven revisionist history take over?

[Sparky]

Not new; it's also been known as bonfire night for many, many years.
