  • Nulty on I found this drivel on the internet and made a few comments

    There are nearly 5,000 different kinds of ladybugs worldwide
    here are a few facts about them

     

    A ladybug beats its wings 85 times a second when it flies.

    (you must have some fuckin eyesight pal)

    Aphids are a ladybug's favorite food

    ( If it canny get wan it goes aphids heid)

    Ladybugs chew from side to side and not up and down like people do.

    ( nae false teeth then)

    Ladybugs make a chemical that smells and tastes terrible so that birds and other predators won't eat them.
    (it's called menstruation)

    If you squeeze a ladybug it will bite you, but the bite won't hurt.
    (thats whit they all say)

    The spots on a ladybug fade as the ladybug gets older.

    (I don't believe it it's Max Factor)

    During hibernation, ladybugs feed on their stored fat.

    (nae need for weight watchers then)

    Ladybugs won't fly if the temperature is below 55 degrees F

    (Neither will Easy Jet)

    The ladybug is the official state insect of Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Tennessee.

    ( only the fuckin Americans jeeeeesus, a state  insect.  He got sentenced to the Electric Chair, why, he stood on the state insect)

    The male ladybug is usually smaller than the female.

    (A male lady bug sounds like someone Cilla Black would invite to dinner)   

    The Asian Lady Beetle can live up to 2-3 years if the conditions are right. 

    (I wonder if it's name is Yoko)

    The life cycle of the ladybug is between four to six weeks. In the spring the adults lay up to three hundred eggs in an aphid colony. The eggs hatch in two to five days. The newly hatched larvae feed on aphids for up to three weeks, and then they enter the pupa stage. The adult ladybug emerges about a week later. However, they usually do not have their spots for their first 24 days.

    (is that when they become teenagers and get all hormonal )

        
  • Nulty on Don't Get Brave

    A guy in the pub said his wife asked him if he thaught she was putting on weight his reply was:

    ''Naw, you're not fat, you're just a giant ball of complaint, wrapped up in anger''

     I said'' where did ye get that black eye  fae Rab''

  • Nulty on Attention all Parents

    Message for all concerned parents.

    New research was carried out at Oxford University recently.
    It found that young children who watch more than 5 hours of television per day, are at greater risk of developing attention deficit disorder, anger management issues and lifelong obesity, than those children watching less television.

    However a spokesman for the University openly admitted that these were acceptable side effects if watching TV will keep the little fuckers occupied....!

  • Nulty on The Boardrich Song

    Boardrich likes Friday's Boardrich likes Fridays
    He don't like Mondays, just like Bob Geldorf,
    Saturday and Sundays they are his fundays,
    So lets hear it for Boardrich,
    Because Fridays to day.
    Lala lalalala lala lalalala
    Lala lalalala lala lalalala
    Lets hope Monday don't come.

  • Nulty on MP 's Wage Demand

    £100,000 a year not bad if you can get it.

    No performance related pay there then, not even attendance related no incremental pay rises no six monthly assessment no demotion no compulsory redundancies no bad timekeeping interviews no need to join a union when you make your own conditions of service.

    No market forces here then, no  shortage of demand.
     There are thousands who stand so there is no shortage of ''public minded'' people.

    I wonder if we got some MP's over from  Eastern Europe would they do  it cheaper?

    It's the only thing they agree on  all year,
    ''all those who say aye 645, the aye's have it the aye's have it''

  • Nulty on My Jockey

    Four jockeys are on their way home from the Grand National when the Ford Focus they are travelling in is hit by a lorry. The car bursts in flames and they all die.
    One of the jockey's brothers is informed that his brother has been killed and he decides to go down to the morgue to see his body for the last time he is warned that all four jockeys are very badly burnt and hardly rocognisable but he insists so they let him in.
    Inside the morgue, they pull back the sheet on the first body.
    "No, thats not him," .
    They pull back the sheet
    "Nope, thats not him."
    The third.
    "No, that aint him either."
    After pulling back the sheet on the fourth and final body, he says "yep, that's him."
    The mortician said, "that's amazing: these bodys are burnt to a crisp, and yet you have identified your jockey just like that, how?"
    And the trainer said, " he's never been in the first three in his life''!

  • Nulty on Get yer skates on

    There are a lot of people complaining about the duty paid on fuel.

    A lot of the poorer off are feeling the pinch and not going for a drive in the country or dropping the kids off at school. In general they are cutting back on fuel consumption.

    It may well be that that is what it was all about in the first place.

    A few months I posted on the government raising the price of drink to stop people drinking and pointed out  it would only stop the poor not the rich.

    I see a pattern emerging.

  • Nulty on PC

    I understand that we are living in the "politically correct"  but, seriously, do we really need information signs in Braille - at a fucking art gallery?
    The mind boggles how the fuck dae they come up with the ideas. Is there an award, a world ranking championship and if there is what would the risk assessment be like.

    There would be safety rails round the safety rails, there would poopa scoopas in case anyone brought their dog, there would be signs telling you to beware of the signs, there would be seventeen different coloured bins each for a separate purpose, there would be hard hats, high viz jackets, safety harnesses, goggles, gloves, toe tectors, you wouldn't recognise who won the fucking thing because they would all be dressed the fuckin same.

    Imagine there was a rule, ''no lime green to be worn'', naebody would get fuckin in.

  • Nulty on Blog Everlasting Amen


     My friend Lledeb, had a really good post earlier entitled,
                     What Happens When We Die
    It is about people on Bebo and Facebook and bloggers who die and their blogs remaining open. It  set up a debate in my head as to weather it would be a good thing or a bad thing.

    My first thought was that it was a bit goullish but then I when I thought about it again I recalled being at funerals and when the priest or whoever was talking about the person who had died's life and the amount of times I have walked away thinking ''he wasn't speaking about the guy that I know''.

    So with that in mind I now think that our blogs should stay out there in cyberspace just in case anyone wants to check out the truth or read a few rants  or god forbid play a video of a rant. we don't rip up people diary's or books they may have written so why should we pull the plug on their blogs.

    How fitting an epitaph it would be for blog mates to read your posts on the anniversary of your death and and the volume of people visiting  results in you getting awarded a posthumous featured blog to the sounds of  ''The Last Post''............................................. fame at last.


  • Nulty on A wee sick Joke

    Why do bulimics love KFC?

    Because it comes with a bucket.

  • Nulty on rum Stories

    Seeing Lledeb's post about rum reminds me of a time when I was working in Cape Canaveral.
     Every week or so a team of eight would be sent out to de- prep the torpedoes in Andros Island  the Bahamas aka  AUTEC, Altlantic Underwater Test Evaluation  Center

    We flew from the shuttle landing strip (the skid patch) on an RAF Hercules to Freshwater Creek Airport  which was the smallest airport I am likely to see, the bar was an eski full of ice and cans of beer.
     Anyway the beach bar in Autec had a gantry that was full of about a hundred types of rum, I have never seen anything like it. we were told of one in particular that we must try, it was called 151 rum ( that was the proofage)

    So I had to try it, jeeeeeeesus it was strong I took the first one straight then the next few with coke. it tasted dreadful you needed a full can of coke to get it into a semi palateble state, so needless to say we all got very drunk and were given a 151 t  shirt to be worn as a badge of honour.

    There was a one of guy who brought a few bottles of it back to The Cape.
     I seen him one night and said to him ''where are you off to''
    ''oh I'm going out with Mary to night
    oh thats good'' thinking Mary was some tart he had met in a bar.
     My mate said ''what did he say''
    I told him'' he is going out with a woman called Mary''my mate went into a fit off laughing and said ''is he on the 151'' I said aye, he got about four bottles in AUTEC, how? he said Marys his wife and she is five thousand miles away in Dumbarton he must have the heebie jeebies with the 151

    So keep aff the 151

  • Nulty on Essex

    A major earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter scale hit in the early hours of Monday morning.

    Epicentre: Romford, Essex.
    Victims were seen wandering around aimless muttering "faaackin ell" ..

    The earthquake decimated the area causing extreme damage. Several priceless collections of mementos from the Balearics and
    Spanish Costa's were damaged beyond repair.

    Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their giro arrived.

    Essex FM (County Radio Station) reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered, still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Basildon.

    One resident - Tracy Sharon Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said "It was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into my bedroom crying.
    My youngest two Tyler-Morgan, and Megan-Storm slept through it all. I was still shaking when I was watching Kilroy the next morning."

    Apparently though, looting, muggings and car crime did carry on as normal. The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Sunny Delight to the area to help the stricken locals.

    Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, including benefit books, jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos and Bone China from Poundland.

    HOW CAN YOU HELP?
    This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing, parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most sought after, items most needed include:

    Fila or Burberry baseball caps
    Kappa tracksuit tops (his and hers)
    Shell suits (female)
    White sport socks
    Rockport boots
    Any other items usually sold in Primark.

    Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same.
    Required foodstuffs include Microwave meals Tins of baked beans, Icecream, Cans of Colt 45 or Special Brew.
    22p buys a biro for filling in the compensation forms,
    £2 buys chips, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for a family of 9.
    £5 will pay for a packet of B&H and a lighter to calm the nerves of those affected.

  • Nulty on Mondays joke

    Morris was removing some engine valves from a car on the lift when he spotted the famous heart surgeon Dr. Michael DeBakey, who was standing off to the side, waiting for the service manager.Morris, who was somewhat of a loud mouth, shouted across the garage, "Hey DeBakey...Is that you? Come over here a minute." The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where Morris was working on the car. Morris, in a loud voice that all could hear, said argumentatively, "So Mr. fancy doctor, look at this work. I also take valves out, grind 'em, put in new parts, and when I finish this baby will purr like a kitten. So how come you get the big bucks, when you and me are doing basically the same work?"
    DeBakey, very embarrassed, shook his head and replied in a soft voice, "Try doing your work with the engine running."

  • Nulty on Sundays Joke

    This Indian bloke walks into this supermarket and ask the attendant what kind of toilet paper they have for sale. The attendant shows him three brands. The first brand is called Kleenex and costs two pounds for two rolls, the second brand is Sorbent and costs one pound for two rolls and the third brand is a no name brand and costs fifty pence for five rolls.
    The Indian says, "five rolls for fifty pence, that is cheap - think of the vindaloos I can have."
    So the Indian buys the no name toilet paper and leaves. The next day he returns to the store and finds the attendant and says to him, "I still have got four toilet rolls left, but I have found a name for your toilet roll."
    The attendant looked confused when he said that and asked him to explain.
    The Indian says, "you should call it John Wayne toilet paper!"
    The attendant said, "why John Wayne?"
    And the Indian replies, "because John Wayne was rough and he was hardas fuck and he took no shit off  Indians
      I"

  • nulty on a Wee joke while it's quiet

    I checked into a hotel on a business trip and was a bit lonely so I thought I'd get me one of those girls you see advertised in phone booths when you're calling for a cab.

    I grabbed a card on my way in. It was an ad for a girl calling herself Erogonique, a lovely girl, bending over in the photo. She had all the right curves in all the right places, beautiful long wavy hair, long graceful legs You know the kind.

    So I'm in my room and figure, what the hell, I'll give her a call.

    "Hello?" the woman says. God, she sounded sexy.

    "Hi, I hear you give a great massage and I'd like you to come to my room & give me one - No, wait, I should be straight with you. I'm in town all alone and what I really want is sex. I want it hot, and I want it now. I'm talking kinky the whole night long. You name it, we'll do it. Bring implements, toys, everything you've got in your bag of tricks. We'll go hot and heavy all night; Tie me up, cover me in chocolate syrup and whip cream, anything you want baby. Now, how does that sound?"

    She says, "That sounds fantastic .........

    ........... but for an outside line you need to press 9."

  • Nulty on It's a cracker

    A guy dials his home phone number and a strange woman answers. The guy says, "Who is this?"

    "This is the maid," answers the woman.

    "We don't have a maid," says the man.

    The woman says, "I was hired this morning by the lady of the house."

    The man says, "Well, this is her husband. Is she there?"

    The woman replies, "She is upstairs in the bed room with someone who I figured was her husband."

    The guy is fuming and says to the maid, "Listen, would you like to make £50,000?"

    The maid says, "What will I have to do?"

    The man tells her, "I want you to get my gun from the hal cupboard, and shoot the wife and the guy she's with."

    The maid puts the phone down and the man hears footsteps and then two gun shots. The maid comes back to the phone, "What do I do with the bodies?"

    The man says, "Throw them in the swimming pool."

    Puzzled, the maid answers, "But you don't have a pool."

    The man pauses for a moment and says, "Ummmm… Is this 0141  944 7777.........................

    I was in my local pub ,Granny Gibbs, yesterday and was told there were two tellys on for the football on Thursday night, one for the Celtic game one for the Rangers game.

  • Nulty on Air Fares

    The airline companies are ready to hike up the price of carrying luggage because of the increase in aviation fuel.
    This rise in the cost of carrying cases is a nonsence .  If the cost of fuel goes up  fine,  add it on to the price of the flight. but these surcharges are a con in the price war that is going on .
    It will soon be cheaper to go on holiday with no baggage and buy clothes  when you get there or if you go to the same resort, to buy some storage and leave your clothes and odds and ends there.

    It has been joked about in the past but soon they will charge you by your weight which might be a good thing as my love of a cheap flight might persuade me to loose a couple of pounds stones. Could you imagines the Golightlies being charged extra it might well be that overweight people  would charter their own fights .....Frying Panam
    or Flywaistspan
    And an other thing while I am on  my high horse. two weeks ago coming through Luton Annie had a bag and a poly bag with papers ect in.
    The egit at security said only one bag allowed, only one bag is the rule at Luton it would seem that Luton is under a greater threat of  a dual poly bag attack from terrorists than Glasgow. So we put her bag into the poly bag and that was allowed ,what the fuck is all that about!
    It seems you could go in with Santa's sack and it would be ok but two poly bags your in the shit.
    So it's true, size doesn't count

    All this palava take the fun out of travel.

    The third fellow says, "I'll tell you. Just other night, my wife came to me on her hands and knees."

  • Nulty on just a bunch of wankers

    On May 20th, a free vote in the UK parliament declared that fertility clinics needn't consider fathers as playing an essential or supportive role in a child’s upbringing. The vote, aimed at making it easier for single women  to use fertility clinics, has been criticised by many as worsening the “responsible parenting crisis” that is plaguing the UK.

    This event also raises issues concerning the capacity of single fathers to raise children when compared to their female counterparts. Are men becoming an “unessential” aspect of a child’s life, bringing into question the basic abilities of thousands of single fathers to raise their kids.
    Do children need mothers more than fathers?
    Are single mothers inherently better at raising kids than single fathers?

  • Nulty on In Tray Out Tray & Pending

    Never walk down the hall without a document in your hands. People with documents in their hands look like hardworking employees heading for important meetings. People with nothing in their hands look like they're heading for the cafeteria. People with the newspaper in their hands look like they're heading for the bathroom. Above all, make sure you carry loads of stuff home with you at night, thus generating the false impression that you work longer hours than you do.


    2 Use computers to look busy. Any time you use a computer, it looks like work to the casual observer. You can send and receive personal e-mail, calculate your finances and generally have a blast without doing anything remotely related to work.

    These aren't exactly the societal benefits that everybody from the computer revolution expected but they're not bad either. When you get caught by your boss--and you will get caught--your best defence is to claim you're teaching yourself to use the new software, thus saving valuable training dollars. You're not a loafer, you're a self-starter. Offer to show your boss what you learned. That will make your boss scurry away like a frightened salamander.


    3 Messy desk. Top management can get away with a clean desk. For the rest of us, it looks like you're not working hard enough. Build huge piles of documents around your workspace. To the observer, last year's work looks the same as today's work; it's volume that counts. Pile them high and wide. If you know somebody is coming to your cubicle, bury the document you'll need halfway down in an existing stack and rummage for it when he/she arrives.


    4 Voice mail. Never answer your phone if you have voice mail. People don't call you just because they want to give you something for nothing-- they call because they want YOU to do work for THEM. That's the way to live.

    Screen all your calls through voice mail. If somebody leaves a voice mail message for you and it sounds like impending work, respond during lunch hour. That way, you're hardworking and conscientious even though you're being a devious weasel.

    If you diligently employ the method of screening incoming calls and then returning calls when nobody is there, this will greatly increase the odds that they will give up or look for a solution that doesn't involve you. The sweetest voice mail message you can ever hear is "Ignore my last message. I took care of it." If your voice mailbox has a limit on the number of messages it can hold, make sure you reach that limit frequently.

    One way to do that is to never erase any incoming messages. If that takes too long, send yourself a few messages. Your callers will hear a recorded message that says, "Sorry, this mailbox is full"--a sure sign that you are a hardworking employee in high demand.

  • nulty on Wednesday's joke

    A Glasgow cabbie picks up a Nun in his cab.
    She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome
    cab driver won't stop staring at her.

    She asks him why he is staring.He replies: 'I have a question to ask you but I don't want to offend you.'

    She answers,'My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have,
    you get a chance to see and hear just about everything.I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.'

    'Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.'
    She responds,'Well, let's see what we can do about that:
    Number 1, you have to be single and number 2, you must be Catholic.'
    The cab driver is very excited and says,'Yes, I'm single and Catholic!'

    'OK' the nun says.'Pull into the next alley.'he nun full fills his fantasy, with a kiss that would make a whore blush.

    But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
    'My dear child,' says the nun,'Why are you crying?'

    'Forgive me but I've sinned.

    I lied and I must confess, I'm married and I'm Protestant.'

    The nun says,

    'That's OK.

    My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party'

  • Nulty on TommyBurns RIP

    The funeral of Tommy Burns took place in Glasgow yesterday.
    Tommy was a player, coach and manager of Celtic FC.

    His funeral was attended by the great and the good of Scottish football and a crowd of thirty thousand Celtic and Rangers supporters gathered at Celtic Park to pay their respects as the cortege passed by.

    The coffin was carried by ex Celtic players George McCluskey, Peter Grant, Danny McGrain, Pat Bonnar and the Rangers management team of Walter Smith and Ally McCoist.

    The rivalry and the religious divide were forgotten at least for a day.

  • Nulty on a Joke for Boardrich's Birthday

    An office manager had money problems and had to fire an employee, either Jack or Jill. He thought he'd fire the employee who came late to work the next morning.

    Well, both employees came to work very early. Then the manager thought he would catch the first one who took a coffee break. Unfortunately, neither employee took a coffee break.

    Then the manager decided to see who took the longest lunch break -- strangely, neither Jack nor Jill took a lunch break that day, they both ate at their desk. Then the manager thought he'd wait and see who would leave work the earliest, but both employees stayed after closing.

    Jill finally went to the coat rack and the manager went up to her and said, "Jill, I have a terrible problem. I don't know whether to lay you or Jack off."

    Jill looked at him for a moment and said, "Well, you'd better jack off, because I'm late for my bus."

    Have a great day mate.

  • Nulty on Tuesdays Joke

    On a crowded city at a crowded bus stop, a beautiful blonde was waiting for the bus. She was decked out in a tight leather mini skirt with matching tight leather boots and jacket. As the bus rolled up and it became her turn to get on, she became aware that her skirt was too tight to allow her leg to come up to the height of the first step on the bus.

    Slightly embarrassed and with a quick smile to the bus driver she reached behind her and unzipped her skirt a little thinking that this would give her enough slack to raise her leg. Again, she tried to make the step onto the bus only to discover she still couldn't. So, a little more embarrassed she once again reached behind her and unzipped her skirt a little more and for a second time attempted the step and once again, much to her chagrin she could not raise her leg because of the tight skirt. So, with a coy little smile to the driver she again unzipped the offending skirt to give a little more slack and again was unable to make the step.

    About this time the big Texan that was behind her in the line picked her up easily from the waist and placed her lightly on the step of the bus. Well, she went ballistic and turned on the would-be hero screeching at him, "How dare you touch my body!! I don't even know who you are!"

    At this the Texan drawled, "Well, ma'am, normally I would agree with you but after you unzipped my fly three times, I kinda figured that we was friends."

  • Nulty on My day out at Parliament

    As most of my friends will know I was a guest of an MP friend of mine at the House of Commons last week, so here is how the day went.
    my brother in law Les and I left Crouch Hill at 9.30  got a bus to  Finsbury Park tube station  on the Victoria line to Green Park then one stop  on  to Westminster.
    Well Westminster station was the first surprise SECURITY.......
    As the tube came into the station their was reinforced glass all along the edge of the platform with doors to let people on and off the train,  there were cameras every where and when we went to the main foyer it was all 18'' stainless steel girders, supporting re- enforced concrete which was similar to a honeycomb design. All though it sounds ugly there was a modern stylish look to it.
    We maid our way to the visitors gate where there it was generally school children on day trips mostly English but  few French and German
    We were asked what our party was (I was ready to say Labour) I told him we were going to see our MP, so he gave us a visitors pass and we waited to go through security which was similar to that of airport security.
    We made our way to the Central Lobby via Westminster Hall where the Queen Mother lay in state.
    On approaching the Central Lobby there was a weird feeling of  being in a very, very special place.
    we got there about 10.30. and we were not to meet until 10.50 so we sat on these giant bench's, I am not a short person  but when I sat right back  I could not bend my legs, as my knee's were still on the seat and when I sat on the edge my feet couldn't touch the ground.
    There were statues of all the Kings and Queens each about three feet high, standing on top of one and other to form four arches one each for St George,  St David,  St Patrick and St Andrew. and in the center was   a candelabra that dell boy would have been proud of that hung from a mosaic turret which was mirror on the floor by a tiled pattern.
    There seemed to be wood carvings everywhere.
    I was like a wee boy in a toy shop, head  moving from side to side  sometimes nearly completing a 360 turn. As we were sitting there  Bruce Forsythe and his wife walked by us and went into the House of Lords, so don't be surprised if he gets a Knighthood.

    My mate came from the Commons, gave us our order papers got us our tickets for Prime Ministers\Questions and asked if we would like a quick look around.
    Note: Any person registered to vote in an election in the UK has the right to enter the Central Lobby  without gaining prior permission .

    He took us into the corridor that has the Emblem of St George above it,  it was the entrance to  The Lords.  It was smaller than you would imagine  all decked out in red leather and carpet just as seen in the Queens opening of  Parliament. The throne was something else, I am not a royalist but this was one of those ''fuck me moments'' ( I bet it has not been described like that before)
     The hall at the back of the commons is all large paintings and has tables and chairs dotted about it, I thought that this was where all the defibrillators were kept, no but good idea.
    In this hall directly behind the throne, back to back with it is a life size  marble statue of Queen  Victoria on her throne, which must be a bit strange for the Queen but I don't think she does strange.

    From there we stood at the corner or the commons and the Central Lobby awaiting the Speakers procession suddenly the police are all over the place about ten of them and on stands in the center of the Central Lobby, the shout goes up, in a strange high pitched yell  Speaker entering and the police man in the middle shouts strangers remove your hats (why is this I wonder) then the speaker enters the Chamber led by someone in 18th century dress and a woman carrying ''The Mace''.
     
    I said to my MP pal I thought the Speaker would  have got a taxi but seemingly the expences don't go that far now.

    From there we went into our seats in the Commons for PMQ's Once again it seemed smaller than on the telly (yes I do watch the Parliament on telly , sad old man that I am)
    The noise is louder as well and chattering when someone is speaking is out of order not to mention bad mannered, if kids were like that at school they would be made to stand out side the room.

    There was cheering and booing hissing stamping and stomping and waving of order papers and I would have been disappointed if there wasn't.  But some of the younger  ones were like football supporters with their cries of ''bring it on''   is this the way ahead , I hope not.
    After  PMQ's we went to the Strangers Bar and had a few drinks, not as cheap as the press would have you believe we couldn't have lunch as he had a meeting at two with an other Scottish MP.
    We got a few photos outside by the Thames it was a great day,  my old dad would have been proud  as he had always liked my mate, the MP as a young man.

    My next post will be a short joke.

  • Nulty on Female hormones in beer

    Beer contains female hormones

    Last month, National University of Lesotho scientists released the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer.
     


    Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption.



    The theory is that beer
    contains female hormones (hops contain phytoestrogens) and that by drinking enough beer, men turn into women  .
     



     
    To test the theory, 100 men drank 8 pints of beer each within a 1 hour period.


     


    It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects :

    1) Argued over nothing.
    2) Refused to apologise when obviously wrong.
    3) Gained weight.
    4) Talked excessively without making sense.

    5) Became overly emotional.
    6) Couldn't drive.
    7) Failed to think rationally.
    8) Had to sit down while urinating.
     

     
     No further testing was considered necessary.
     
    Send this to the men you know to warn them about drinking too much beer!

    Two men were talking. 'So, how's your sex life?'
    'Oh, nothing special. I'm having Social Security sex.'
    'Social Security sex?'

    I don't see what the problem is.'

    cover the surgery since it was considered cosmetic. The doctor
    said the cost would b e £3,500 for 'small, £6,500 for 'medium,
    £14,000 for 'large.'
    The man was sure he would want a medium or large, but the doctor
    urged him to talk it over with his wife before he made any decision.
    The man called his wife on the phone and explained their options.
    The doctor came back into the room, and found the man looking dejected.

    'Wel l, what have the two of you decided?' asked the doctor.

    The man answered, 'She'd rather modernise the the kitchen.'

  • Nulty on Fridays Joke

    A 75-year-old man went to the doctor's office to get a sperm count. The doctor gave the man a jar and said, "Take this jar home and bring me back a sample tomorrow."

    The next day, the 75-year-old man reappears at the doctor's office and gives him the jar, which is as clean and empty as the previous day.

    The doctor asks what happened, and the man explains, "Well, Doc, it's like this. First I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but nothing. Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, but nothing. Then with her left, but nothing."

    The old man continued, "She even tried with her mouth, first with her teeth in, then with he teeth out, and still nothing. Hell, we even called up the lady next door, and she tried with both hands and her mouth too, but nothing."

    The doctor was shocked. "You asked your NEIGHBOR?"

  • Barrsie

    After my drunken Mayday escapade I planned a nice easy relaxing day in house. I got a phone call from my sister ''Wee Barrsie is on at the Thornwood'' that was the end of the quiet day in.

    Wee Barrsie is a guy I went to school with and he is a well known ''rockinroller'' all over the Glasgow area. The guy can sing anything.
    So I went to Granny Gibbs for a couple of beers, to warm me up,  then headed off to the Thornwood.

    I got off the bus about a hundred yards from the pub  and immediately recognised his version of  Brown Sugar followed by Satisfaction.
    On entering the pub I was met by the site of  forty, fifty and sixty year old women all up giving it laldy, Pans People, eat your heart out.

    All the old faces were there, it was like a school re union .Barrsie backed up by a four piece band, was dedicating each song  to someone in the  pub. Frankie Millar, U2,  Sam Cooke, Brian Adams, Canned Heat Otis Reading , The Who, The Stones, The Spencer Davis Goup and a host of others but The Beatles Back in the USSR and Revolution were particularly good has I hadn't heard him do them before.

    If this is what we get in our old age.................... Then that's fine by me.
     

  • Nulty on To Days Joke

    An Irishman named O'Malley went to his doctor after a long illness. After a lengthy examination, the doctor sighed and looked O'Malley in the eye and said, "I've some bad news for you. You have cancer, and it can't be cured. I'd give you two weeks to a month to live."

    O'Malley was shocked and saddened by the news, but he managed to compose himself and walk from the doctor's office into the waiting room. There, he saw his son who had been waiting.

    O'Malley said, "Well son, we Irish celebrate when things are good, and we celebrate when things don't go so well. In this case, things aren't so well. I have cancer, and I've been given a short time to live. Let's head for the pub and have a few pints."

    After three or four pints, the two were feeling a little less somber. There were some laughs and more beers. They were eventually approached by some of O'Malley's old friends who asked what the two were celebrating. O'Malley told them that the Irish celebrate the good and the bad. He went on to tell them that they were drinking to his impending end. He told his friends, "I've only got a few weeks to live as I have been diagnosed with AIDS."

    The friends gave O'Malley their condolences, and they had a couple more beers.

    After his friends left, O'Malley's son leaned over and whispered his confusion. "Dad, I though you said that you were dying from cancer? You just told your friends that you were dying from AIDS!"

    O'Malley said, "I am dying of cancer, son. I just don't want any of them sleeping with your mother after I'm gone."

    During the wedding rehearsal, the groom approached the vicar with an unusual offer:

    "Look, I'll give you £100 if you'll change the wedding vows. When you get to the part where I'm supposed to promise to 'love, honor and obey' and 'be faithful to her forever,' I'd appreciate it if you'd just leave that out."

    He passed the minister two fifty pound notes and walked away satisfied.

    On the day of the wedding, when it came time for the groom's vows, the vicar looked the young man in the eye and said: "Will you promise to prostrate yourself before her, obey her every command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life, and swear eternally before God and your lovely wife that you will not ever even look at another woman, as long as you both shall live?"

    The groom gulped and looked around, and said in a tiny voice, "Yes," then leaned toward the vicar and hissed, "I thought we had a deal."

    The pastor put the two fifty pound notes  into the groom's hand and whispered: "She made me a better offer."

    I had a great wee day out yesterday I went to the Mayday rally in Glasgow's George Square.
    There was a short march to The Old Fruit Market (not a market for old fruit)
    The march  is organised every year by the Glasgow Trades Council who are celebrating their 150th anniversary this year.
    There were stalls set up  by most unions and left wing groups including CND, Scottish Socialists, The Labour Party and SNP and yes, they are still about The Communist Party of Great Britain

    It was good to see a lot of old friends and comrades that I hadn't seen for years and we argued the day away as though we had never stopped.

    I met an old pal of mine who is now an MP and he invited me to be his guest at Prime Ministers Questions on Wednesday next, when I will be in London so I am looking forward to that. (well I must admit I dropped a few hints)

    "We need a fourth for poker," said the friend.

    "I'll be right over," whispered the doctor.

  • Nulty on The Timber ponds on The Clyde

    I was surfing the web about shipbuilding on the Clyde and got a wee surprise.
    I have been up and down the Clyde hundreds if not thousands of times and had noticed what looked like old trees or poles sticking out of the water.
    at one point I thought they may have been some sort of defencive barrier against enemy  boats landing during the war to protect the shipyards.

    What it was, was, in they days of wooden boats the wood was put into the water to treat it for bending and these areas were called timber ponds.
    They can still be seen on both banks of the river to this day. They must have been there for well over a hundred years.
    I had often wondered now I know.
    Any signs of this on your river?

  • Nulty on Last Night at headway.org.uk

    I went to a fund raiser last night for a charity called Headway, it is a charity run for people affected by Acquired Brain Injury. My brother Stephen had a Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in September last year and is supported by this organisation.
    The main support he is given by Headway is via a self help group BRIDGE
    : Brain Injury Discussion Group for Everyone.

    He attends meetings with others who have similar injuries and they discuss the problems they have, their experiences, the changes to there lives and that of their families.
    They also support the families of those affected and give advice to them and provide them with a forum to talk to other ''carers''

    It was an eye opener for me, it is one of those charities that you never hear of until someone close to you is offered help by them.
    I'm sure the most of you will have come across one of these types of small charities at some point and seen at first hand the magnificent work that they do.

    The night was a success as not only did it raise a few bob but it enlightened the rest of us of what they are trying to achieve.

    The main reason for this post was to thank those who organised the night, so Stephen, I know you read this blog, pass on my best regards to them.

    Days off
    All employees will take their days off at the same time every year. They are as follows: Jan. 1, and Dec. 25.

    BEREAVEMENT LEAVE:
    This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or coworkers. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend to the arrangements.

We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early, provided your share of the work is done.
