An Early April Fool Story ... ?

[Guest]

At first I thought it must be, but it's also in the Sunday Mirror ...

On the face of it, it sounds absurd.

Now when I read the title of this
I thought it was going to be something along the lines of
"Beardyman rises from the dead" ...... or even "Pope in gay sauna shocker"

BUT

Happy Easter to you Scotty and hope you got the sunshine as well as the eggs

Characteristically sweet sentiments, Mr GG ...

BUT ...

Certainly got the sunshine at present, and had my usual bacon and eggs for Sunday breakfast, thanks ...

What a wimpish and stupid country we've become. I wonder if it's too late to sue my old school for a broken nose sustained by a cricket ball batted to me (probably deliberately) by the teacher on July 11 1966?

Not Eggs Benedict then ?
And why not Stornaway Black Pudding ?

Precisely ... the next time I slip on a banana-skin I'll remember to sue Fyffes ...

If the story is an accurate account of what happened, this will do you no good, scotty: you'd have to sue the owner of the property on the ground of which the banana skin was left. (And, perhaps, will have had to have been "on duty" when you slipped on it?)

PLEASE, let this be just an urban myth that the media have tripped upon!


Happy Easter, by the way.

Happy Easter, ferney ...

About seven years ago I fell head over heels on a patch of ice in the company car-park and suffered bruised ribs for weeks.

Immediately after the accident I limped to our company's security manager, informed him of the dangerous patch of ice, and advised him to put some salt down before somebody else ended up with a broken neck and paralysis.

His answer was that he was not prepared to do that as it was another company which owned the car park (our company only leased it) and by doing so our company would be accepting responsibility for future accidents!

That evening when I left work I noticed that the directors car spaces had been heavily gritted with salt but large, dangerous patches of ice remained elsewhere.

No wonder cynicism abounds ...

Perhaps the fork that didn't go into the ground, so I jumped on it and have had 40 years of back pain was not sharp enough. Could I sue the makers, I wonder

Perhaps they gritted it themselves?
