heard of ugly fruit
but not ugly fish

but surely beauty is in the eye of the beholder
so then that would give both fruits and fishes a fighting chance yeah?

They'd have to be really tough to have a fighting chance against a Beholder.

oh hello dahling!! didn't see the bus goin by

i agree.. and never, ever be beholden to nobody..

it's very painful and unnecessary

Did you know if you go out and buy a lottery ticket you more likely to be killed on the journey than win the jackpot

Hell, you're statistically more likely to be kicked to death by a donkey than you are to win the Lottery.

man goes to for an interview for job at a blacksmith's

blacksmith says ''have you ever shoed a horse?''
man says.. ''well.. errr, no......... but.. i did tell a donkey to f'k off once!!''


had to. been laughing all morning.. sorry.

While this is not a joke thread, I must say that put a grin on my face.

sorry

kind of useless joke.. donkeys cant vomit underwear??? (said she, trying to make amends)

goats.... now there's a diffferent thing. goats eat knickers, well known fact. we had one used to eat the knickers (and nothing else) off the line,
and it did vomit up knicker elastic.......!!!!! does it count? do i get a prize?

You have nothing to make amends for... I really did giggle at that joke.

As did I.

BTW did you know that you can pen a donkey with a herd of cattle to guard them from coyotes? Really, the donkey will act as a kind of watchdog and protect the cows.

2006 is the 40th anniversary of the first showing of Trumpton on BBC television.

Hands up those with the theme tune in their heads right now

Time flies by when you're the driver on a train
When you're standing on the foot plate, there and back again

Can you believe the man who did Trumpton burned the puppets after the series! Sacrilege!

Yeah ah know, he was clearing out his loft, found them and thought they looked a bit manky so it was down to the bottom of the garden and onto the bonfire, pity the boys from the firebrigade were nt available, they never got to fight a fire

In one episode of Camberwick Green, Windy Miller was seen drinking 'Apple Cider' which made him very sleepy. Sleepy my the little man was off his head and had to go sleep it off.

That was the episode where farmer Bell and windy had been unloading grain, Bell refused the offer of cider as he was driving.

Oh gord... I need to clear my head out one of these days.

There where 13 episodes of Trumpton and Camberwick Green and also 13 of the other spin off series.

What was it called?

Forget all that
anyone over 30 in Ireland who remembers Wanderly Wagon will peeeess on your trumpton and your camberwick..

O Brien and Grandmother, and crow, Judge, Rory with the magic ring, sneaky snake, fourtycoats.....
the special effects were amazing (gypsy wagon goin up in the air on 4 very obvious cables... )
Judge (puppet jack russel)went on to spearhead the road safety campaign

Trumpton, Camberwick Green and Chigley IIRC.

I want them all now!

What was the one with the guy who walked down a long corridor with a phone?

Get Smart?
