Adelaide Tiger Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 Not a joke but I found this funny. Today was the Melbourne Cup horse race - the race that allegedly stops the nation- and after the race the presenter on ABC National Radio spoke to some bloke called Ian from the Northern Territory. Ian had just organised a saltwater crocodile race day for the same day. The crocs were about 1.6m long and ‘hired’ from a local farm. Ian said that they had held three races. The presenter asked Ian what were the names of the winning crocs. I can’t remember the names of the first two winners but Ian said that the winner of the third race was Croc Sucker! It must have gone over the presenters head as he just prattled on. 1

Bearman Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 Reminds me the story of the guy that entered his pet into a dog fight. The organiser asked " what breed is that" " A long nosed long tailed short legged terrier" came the reply. " Mind you some people call them crocodiles" 1 Ron Banks Midlands Hurricanes and Barrow

Wiltshire Warrior Dragon Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 A nurse told me that the biggest threat facing the NHS is 'Holby City'; actually, she might have said 'obesity'! OK, I admit it. My daughter and I saw Milton Jones in Winchester on Sunday evening.

RayCee Posted November 20, 2022 Posted November 20, 2022 I'm always right. I always agree with my wife. My blog: https://rugbyl.blogspot.co.nz/ It takes wisdom to know when a discussion has run its course. It takes reasonableness to end that discussion.

JohnM Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 1 1 The New RFL: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.
Stirlin Posted December 6, 2022 Posted December 6, 2022 Members of the RMT, Post Office workers and ambulance service staff have voted unanimously to walk out-out and go on strike-strike after a ballot was taken criticising the poor conditions they have to endure on picket line duty. Charlie Endbell who was on strike supporting the RMT was quoted as saying, "The conditions on the picket lines are bleedin' awful. There's no wi-fi, we have to sit on upturned buckets in front of a smokey fire in an oil drum, the nearest betting office is a mile away and our Costa Coffee ordered via Deliveroo always arrives bloody cold. We've missed all the football and there's no place to charge our I-phones. We have no choice but to go on a further strike-strike until our pitiful picketing conditions are improved. All we ask for is a Winnebago RV for each picket line, access to decent wi-fi and taxis to and from Bet Fred and Costa Coffee and perhaps the British Army could come out with a mobile field kitchen and a decent celebrity chef to keep us fed during these cold months.....it's hard work being a picket so until our conditions are vastly improved, we're all out-out on strike-strike" 1
