  My vote would go with Dark Side of the Moon, then Graceland, then Morning Glory.

V   Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go on a camping trip, set up their tent, and fall asleep. Some hours later, Holmes wakes his faithful friend. 'Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.' Watson replies, 'I see millions of stars.' 'What does that tell you?' Watson ponders for a minute.' Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you? Holmes is silent for a moment, then speaks. 'Watson, you idiot, someone has stolen our tent.'

    Brenda and Terry are going out for the evening. The last thing they do is put their cat out. The taxi arrives, and as the couple walk out of the house, the cat scoots back in. Terry returns inside to chase it out. Brenda, not wanting it known that the house would be empty, explains to the taxi driver, 'My husband is just going upstairs to say goodbye to my mother.' Several minutes later, an exhausted Terry arrives and climbs back into the taxi saying, 'Sorry I took so long, the stupid idiot was hiding under the bed and I had to poke her with a coat hanger several times before I could get her to come out!'      

  Thanks Andrew your're a star! Thanks to the rest also - (thank goodness I found the last one easy!!!!!!) I will ask my Mancunian nephew to send me some so I can join in.   xxx   ps Ronald  - could we have a Grazie button?

  Does it really matter if subjects go off at a tangent?  Conversations are only interesting when they do.  As the heading is 'Community Spirit' what is wrong with the odd joke ?  We are a community of different people with varying ideas and views and I for one love to read a good joke especially when things are getting a bit heated when sad invaders try to stir the proverbial.....

  Oh Andrew  what a good laugh we've had with your jokes.  I presumed you were a scouser!   Thanks and hope to read more.  x

  There isn't, as far as I am aware, of any censorship on this site except when things get really personal and nasty as happened before the changeover. There were certain people who came in a variety of guises and if you said anything they didn't agree with you were verbally abused and made a laughing stock.  I don't want to see that return. I do get miffed when people come on saying 'this forum is rubbish' (and therefore its members are the same)  This is very insulting to the members and I do feel like saying 'if you don't like it sod off'.  You wouldn't go in a pub and say it or someone would kick you out. If no-one replied to some humour shown maybe the like-minded folks just didn't happen by that week and missed it, after all everyone isn't on here every day and things get 'lost'.  Lighten up !!  The world is full of all types of people.  Some have more sense of humour than others.  Some like to read it but maybe not able to reciprocate but it doesn't mean that it isn't enjoyed. Forums all over the internet vary and they all fill needs for different types of people.  No-one is going to like everything.  If you don't like one then look elsewhere but don't be so rude as to say so and ask where else you might go. The Tess saga - there are often 'windup' merchants that take pleasure in starting a thread and have everybody offering their help and then never heard of again.  It was odd that for someone so lonely that needed help didn't return for quite a time.  I have read the other forum - personally still in two minds on that. The thread was started on the 27th Dec?  odd that hubby wasn't with her over Christmas and New year????   There are some fabulous people on this site  who give very valuable advice and assistance to a lot of people - generally having to repeat it time and again !  To them I say thank you.

  There is nothing to stop anyone being humorous or having a bit of banter on this forum - why don't you try it?   I have seen other postings about the site being 'boring' but those same people do nothing to make it to their liking! Some members here are still fragile from the not very nice forum of yesteryear and probably feel it rude of people who complain. This site has evolved, at present, into quite a polite and 'grown up' forum for like-minded adults.  There is a very childish, with loads and loads of banter and lots of silly chit-chat on another forum - if that's what one is looking for!

Hi Steve   Apologies for delay in replying.  Good luck with your B&B - hope it goes well for you.  We don't have a property there, we just visit for holidays.  My great grandfather was from Zeri area so we are bound to love the area!!  If at all possible, we would like to retire there but it all depends on how things pan out here. Take care  Joy
