JC John you've done it again though those claws would be a tad more painful?

Peter, we went to a friends house for Christmas lunch one year & the son had been anointed as the killer of the turkey. Well he was a 1st year medical student so he dispatched it with an injection of anaesthetic, then it was cooked. No one could eat it as it tasted so bad. He admitted what he had done, all concurred said he had done the right thing though not knowing the outcome. There was sea food & chicken with lamb so none of us went hungry that year.

my late mother worked in a butcher come fish shop anyway it was closeing down me and the lads had a card school every satarday afternoon in the club i got one of the large crabs from out of the shop window put it down my pants sitting in the card school after about a hour i started scratching played on scratched again then one of the lads says what the .... is going on with you have you got visitors down there thats when i put my hand down pulled the crab out and said there got you you bastard well the club was up. another time when jaws the film was out you could get plastic sharks about a foot long i put one in my pint and took it back to the bar and told them my pint was of can they clean the pipes? what fun pitty i don't drink anymore.:pjp

As one said, tell the kids of today, what went on, and what you did, they look at you, in disbelieve, that
not true, your lying, teachers are not allowed to hit you,, point being that's why they, spoilt bad mannered
and off their heads on drugs etc, I love my memories, wouldn't miss them, for todays memories. regards all

Hi shipmates, Hi john pruden There was a pub in Cardiff a few years ago, if you left you beer on a table or bar, and went to the toilet some one would nick it, so I bought a large plastic house fly{Look very real} from the joke shop, and put in in my beer it worked that stop the tea leafs !!!! But I used to have some right comments when i took it out and put it in my mouth.

louis my mate had a bottom set of false teeth when we played pool he would take the teeth out put them as a marker for the white and clean the white ball it used to go down well with strangers in the pub.:pjp
