Re: Let's have a laugh

Talking about cats reminds me of how cats eyes came about to aid driving by marking the road,.

Apparently one person saw how reflective cats eyes were if light was caught by them and so why they are called cats eyes

If the cat had been facing the other way he might have invented the pencil sharpener instead.

A couple of years ago, driving through mid-Wales, we came across a small town by the name Llareggub. We'd never heard of such a place, so thought we'd stop to see what it was like.

Quite simply, there was absolutely nothing there of interest. There was a small church - closed and locked, a pub - closed and locked, and a general store which was also closed and locked. Just empty roads lined by houses.

Nothing there at all of any interest.

I just thought I'd let people know. Not particularly funny, I suppose, and I'm wondering why I posted this in the 'Let's Have a Laugh' thread.

Re: Let's have a laugh

SO TRUE!!! Love it RS Thanks for the laugh!!!!

Re: Let's have a laugh

I can't believe that no-one has come across the town of Llareggub before.

Re: Let's have a laugh

Is it near llados?

Re: Let's have a laugh

They are both very similar places, so I believe.

COPING WITH THE LOCK DOWN :::
I'm normally a social girl
I love to meet my mates
But lately with the virus here
We can't go out the gates.

You see, we are the 'oldies' now
We need to stay inside
If they haven't seen us for a while
They'll think we've upped and died.

They'll never know the things we did
Before we got this old
There wasn't any Facebook
So not everything was told.

We may seem sweet old ladies
Who would never be uncouth
But we grew up in the 60s -
If you only knew the truth!

There was sex and drugs and rock 'n roll
The pill and miniskirts
We smoked, we drank, we partied
And were quite outrageous flirts.

Then we settled down, got married
And turned into someone's mum,
Somebody's wife, then nana,
Who on earth did we become?

We didn't mind the change of pace
Because our lives were full
But to bury us before we're dead
Is like a red rag to a bull!

So here you find me stuck inside
For 4 weeks, maybe more
I finally found myself again
Then I had to close the door!

It didn't really bother me
I'd while away the hour
I'd bake for all the family
But I've got no bloody flour!

Now Netflix is just wonderful
I like a gutsy thriller
I'm swooning over Idris
Or some random sexy killer.

At least I've got a stash of booze
For when I'm being idle
There's wine and whiskey, even gin
If I'm feeling suicidal!

So let's all drink to lockdown
To recovery and health
And hope this bloody virus
Doesn't decimate our wealth.

We'll all get through the crisis
And be back to join our mates
Just hoping I'm not far too wide
To fit through the flaming gates!

You're a poet,
And you didn't know it.

Re: Let's have a laugh

Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the
boat up to the van and proceeded to back out into a torrential
downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day.
I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back;
now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible."
My loving wife of 5 years replied, "And, can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?"
And that's how the fight started...

My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.
She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds."
I bought her a bathroom scale.
And then the fight started......
