Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments

This death notice appears in the latest Stoke Sentinel, absolutely true, and while these aren't often a barrel of laughs I thought this one deserved wider currency. I've just omitted the name of the deceased and the funeral directors.
'Hi If you're reading this I have died. I lived my way so I'm dying my way. Please join my family to celebrate my life, not mourn my death, on Thursday 18th August at 3.30pm at Carmountside Crematorium. Following this, there will be a disco of all my favourite songs at Trent Country Club. Jeans, odd socks and trainers optional. Will family and friends wishing to attend please meet at the crematorium. Lots of flowers please, I love them. Lilies, freesias, gypsophila and white roses are my favourites. See you all there!!!'"The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

This sign doesn't seem to me to promote the right attitude to speed bumps.....

Blimey.
What is it about that sign that somehow suggests that the driver is male, and the passenger female?
I think the subtle warning is that they are now one pig short of a successful day at market.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Vandalism? Ok, I guess it’s always hard to remember whether graffiti is two effs or two tees (even for those of us with Italian blood!).Originally posted by Caliban View PostComment

We once looked at a house for sale in close proximity to a pub.
That could have been considered a blessing or a curse, depending on one's point of view.
We didn't buy it, but that wasn't the overriding factor.Comment

Must be a very old image, that. The one time pub is most probably a Tesco Express, McDonalds or Costa by now.Originally posted by MrGongGong View PostComment

A safety announcement from a boat trip on Lake Louise in Canada.
The passengers were handed their lifejackets with the instruction:
“If you can’t work out how to put it on, that’s Darwinian selection for you.”Comment
