    "But daaaaa-aaaaad! This is cool and you're old!"

    Accompanied by much tutting and rolling of eyes.
    We need people who look to the stars, holding the nation and the world in their hearts but at the same time we need down-to-earth people who can do serious and trying work.

    In a definite sense, a country's power and prestige isn't only a reflection of its economic power but also a reflection of its people's quality and morality. Moreover, I think the latter is actually more important in the long-term.

    I was recently asked for the first time "How many grandchildren do you have?"

    That took the wind out of my sails, I can tell you.
    "A longer yellow streak than a herd of diuretic camels."

    Forget the foreplay, let's have the fag now.

    Why? Is it because you couldn't remember all their names ?
    Here's to a long life and a merry one
    A quick death and an easy one
    A pretty girl and an honest one
    A cold beer and another one!

    It's happened again. I took my father in law to the doctors yesterday, poor old bugger has acute leukaemia and is not long for this world. He needed another appointment so I went to the window in reception and spoke to the girl. "can I have an appointment for Mr C.....D....B....?"

    "Yes, date of birth?"

    "26/1/1921"

    "Mr C..D...B...?"

    "Yes"

    "Address?" so I told her the address.

    "1921?"

    I was puzzled by this time, so asked what was wrong.

    "You are wearing very well for 91 years."

    Cheeky bugger!

    And the worst of it is she was being diplomatic.

    Popes start looking like young whippersnappers.
    That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!

    We're in greater danger today than we were the day after Dunkirk. Our military is absolutely incapable of defending this country.Thanks to Broon and Osborne .
