Very good BnS and very true. ..... BUT sadly depressing, and in all this self evident that a definitive and simple answer is never arrived at whatever the topic. Vested interest and fame for 15 minutes inevitably divert sometimes interesting and diverse topics. Which some might say is good coming from me! |

Tips for Southerners moving or travelling North - I particularly like No 15.
> 1. Save all your beef fat. You will be instructed later how to use it. > 2. If you forget a Northerner's name, refer to him (or her) as "Love" > 3. Just because you can't drive on snow and ice does not mean we always have to give you lifts everywhere. > 4. If you do run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in the cab of a four wheel drive flatbed with a 12-pack of Carly Special and a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them. Just stay out of their way. This is what they live for. > 5. Don't be surprised to find video rentals and bait in the same store. > 6. Do not try to buy fresh pasta. Thump in gob tends to offend.. > 7. If it can't be fried in lard, it ain't worth cooking. > 8. Remember: "Us" is singular. "Thaa" is plural. "Thaas" is plural possessive. > 9. There is nothing sillier than a Southerner imitating a northern accent, > unless it is a northerner imitating a Brummie accent. > 10. Get used to hearing, "Thas not from round ere, is tha?" > 11. People walk slower. > 12. Don't be worried that you don't understand anyone. They don't understand you either. > 13. The first Northern expression to creep into a transplanted Southerner's vocabulary is "me ducks", Eighty-five percent end their new northern influenced > dialect with this expression. One hundred percent are in denial about it. > 14. The proper pronunciation you learned in school is no longer proper. > 15. Be advised: "E were a southern bugger" is a legal defence up here. > 16. If attending a funeral in the north take your baseball hat off when > everyone else does. > 17. If you hear a Northern kid exclaim, "Ayup, come and look at this!" stay > out of his way. These are likely the last words he will say before the > explosion. > 18. Most Northerners do not use turn signals, and they ignore those who do. > In fact, if you see a signal blinking on a car with a northern licence > plate, you may rest assured that it was on when the car was purchased. > 19. Southerners can be identified by the spit on the inside of their car's > windscreen that comes from yelling at other drivers. > 20. The summer wardrobe you always brought out in April can wait til June. > 21. If there is the prediction of the slightest chance of even the most > minuscule accumulation of sun, your presence is required at the local > chemist. It does not matter if you need anything from there, it is just > something you're supposed to do. > 22. Satellite dishes are very popular in the North. When you purchase one, > it is to be positioned directly in front of your caravan. This is logical, > bearing in mind that the dish cost considerably more than the caravan and > should, therefore, be displayed. > 23. Blizzards and Northerners going through a divorce have a lot in common. > In either case, you know someone is going to lose a caravan. > 24. Leeds does NOT have a castle, no matter how often you ask us. > 25. In Northern churches you will hear the hymn, "Come All Ye Faithful". You > will also hear expressions such as, "Bugger me, Lord", "God knows", "Jesus > wept!" and "God help the poor cow ". > 26. As you are cursing the person driving 15 mph in a 55 mph zone, directly > in the middle of the road, remember, many folks learned to drive on a model > of vehicle known as a Reliant Robin, and this is the proper speed and lane > position for the vehicle. > 27. You can ask a Northerner for directions, but unless you already know the > positions of key piles of rubble, canals, coal mines, railway crossings, and > where factories used to stand, you're better off trying to find it yourself. |

Ok .... not that funny, I guess everyone on this forum is obviously from South England. What about this joke: A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: "That's the ugliest baby that I've ever seen. Ugh!" The woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: "The driver just insulted me!" The man says: "You go right up there and tell him off, go ahead, I'll hold your monkey for you. |

Call me Jim Davidson, but Im on a roll: A tortoise was walking down an alley in New York when a gang of snails mugged him. A police detective came to investigate and asked the tortoise if he could explain what happened. The tortoise looked at the detective with a confused look on his face and replied "I don't know, it all happened so fast."

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glassa nd at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300 C. The Russians used a pencil.

A couple of American hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services.He gasps to the operator: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: "Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: "OK, now what?"
