'I took the wife’s family out for tea biscuits. They weren’t too happy about having to give blood though.'  Les Dawson



..on the subject of Les Dawson, I recall his joke about the poverty of his upbringing. He claimed that prior to his 3rd birthday he had never ventured out of doors because they were too poor to buy clothes. As a 3rd birthday present, his parents therefore bought him a cap........ so that he could look out of the window.

Education is important, but wood turning is importanter.

Answers most problems I think
Turners don't make mistakes, they have design opportunities

The foreman of an Irish road crew employed Paddy to paint the white lines down the middle of the road. He told Paddy that he should paint two miles of road in a day’s work.

 After the first day, the foreman was pleased to find that he'd painted four miles of road instead of the two required.

 On the second day, Paddy completed painting just 2 miles of road. The foreman was a bit disappointed, but didn’t complain as this was, after all, only what he’d asked for.

 On day 3, the foreman was disappointed to find that Paddy had painted only one mile of road, and so asked, "On yer first day, ya adid four moiles o’ road. On yer second ya did two moiles. But on yer tird day ya only did one moil. What’s up?”

Paddy replied, "Well, oil tell ya what’s up, but I tought a clever bloke loik you woulda been able ta figger it out fer yerself! Yer see, every day I gets ferder an’ ferder away from de paint can!”
