Whats all this about a Turkey? Ireland's Eurovision entrant i was led to believe. I heard it in the pub and called bullshit, but they kinda have me half convinced now.

"Dustin the Turkey" has been chosen by the Irish broadcaster RTÉ to represent Ireland in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest with "They Can't Stop The Spring".

True story....

Friends of ours had an 8 year old who wouldn't eat beef or lamb cause that came from cute animals. Eventually said kid asked the dreaded question "where does ham come from"?. They convinced him ham came from the hambush so it was ok for him to eat that.

yes I'd quite forgotten Liverpool is European City of Culture 2008.

Was the cyclist chosen at random or was she known to her killers who might then be presumed to have been goaded beyond endurance.

Not that I condone such things of course.

With Mac's new zero tolerance regime one might assume the two, or four, ladies concerned, if apprehended and convicted, will be strung up with piano wire in Stanley Park.

Social reports? Or the rusty wire solution?

It was TWO women, Muckty...

Shocking though.

Is it magnolia?

Two women got out the car, but the police have arrested four.

No, white. I bought an extendable roller, too. What a good tool. I don't know how I coped without it. Not that I do much decorating, mind you.

of course, the cultural connection. I think they should be stuck up with Stanley knives in Piano Park.

Actually Francis, piano wire does rust. I have a 150 year old Steinway in the garden, I always attribute my rusty playing to its current condition.

Man, I got them dirty downhome ferrous oxide blues.....

My cousin tells a joke about a judge, a court case and a Stanley knife.

The Clerk of Works has passed today's job, but she's not too convinced that the new light fitting (which she chose, natch) looks right in the room.

But I'm damned if I'm changing it. Too much of my life is invested in that ceiling already.

Hey! Six hundred.

I can't remember when I last noticed the ceiling.

I'm not fastidious either, far from it, but this ceiling got water damage and part of it had to be removed.
I've been putting it off as long as possible, until off it could no longer be put.

Is it worth hearing, McT?

A girl I know went into a travel agent's shop and said-

" What holidays have you got in Majorca?"

The snooty counter wallie said-

" It's not "Majorca" it's "Mayorca", they pronounce the J in Spain like a Y.

So the girl said-

"What holidays have you got in Mayorca?"

The diddi said-

"When do you wish to travel?"

And the girl replied-

"Oh Yune or Yuly when the Yoint's Yumping".

Not to everyone's taste I daresay, Tico, but you might like it, being a man of taste and refinement and a legal beagle to boot.

It's a true story, by the way. The judge was a guy we were at school with.
(A Stanley knife is a stout craft knife, a box cutter.)

A judge reserved his sentencing at the end of a GBH trial, and said he would bring the guilty man back to court next week, to hear his judgement.

The defence lawyer demurred, asked the judge to be mindful of the Sword of Damocles represented by the sentence hanging over his client and his anxious family.

The judge replied, "Regarding that, if your client had only been mindful of the Knife of Stanley in his hand that night, we would not be here discussing this today."
