hi john sabourn #19
using the powers of ( reason and logic ) which are only invested in myself and others of my kind,,
i have taken a look at tony abbot and one of dumbo and i can find no similarity and i therefore am convinced that they are not the same tribe.

ps as there is a backlash against paying licence fees for the use of bbc tv, there would be a shortfall when the licence fee is rescinded in the coming years,

hi marian #23
finally went back and read all the quotes, as you said they are hilarious, i think personally she is drunk or drugged and i have no sympathy whatsoever, she should not be picking up taxpayers monies for a job she can not do and could never have achieved unless for her single and only characteristic which is obvious to the observer, for reference seek out simon webb on untold history youtube he has known and monitored her since her days as a townhall activist,

#27. Was it a Hornby Vernon ? JS
3 is the other half of 3/9d. So Cappy is going to claim the prize. Not fair he never even worked out the sum. JS

Re: Try this one for size
The problem with the train is the light at the end of the tunnel.
It may well be one coming the other way in which case there would be too much smoke to determine which way it blew.
As to the monies owed by Cappy.
I have calculated on my pocket calculator, shows I have six pockets, it is more than the 3/9 claimed by JS.
The expotential growth in interest rates over time shows that the amount now is 14 shillings 2 pence three farthing.
The said amount may be deposited into any account held by the person in demand of this auspicious sum.


Happy daze John in Oz.

#29 Take 1 and 4 to save time and paperwork.
1. Is probably Thomas galloping down from the end of the tunnel with the bathroom mirror in front of him shouting break this and you’ll get 7 years bad luck.
4. Have offered Cappy he can keep the 3 farthings and we can call it quits , but still waiting for his answer as he put brackets around same and doesn’t know how to take them away now.
