Joh Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Sleeping Beauty, Tom Thumb, and Quasimodo were all talking one day.Sleeping Beauty said, "I believe myself to be the most beautiful girl in the world."Tom Thumb said, "I must be the smallest person in the world."Quasimodo said, "I absolutely have to be the ugliest person in the world."They decided to go to the Guinness Book of World Records to have their claims verified.Sleeping Beauty went first and came out looking deliriously happy. "It's official, I AM the most beautiful girl in the world,"Tom Thumb went next and emerged triumphant, "I am officially the smallest person in the world."Sometime later, Quasimodo came out looking confused and simply stated, "Who the hell is Camilla Parker Bowles?"

Jonzjob Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Tell quasi that she's the future Queen of England the silly pilot with a 'k'. And why not, that's why the Church of England was formed so that a man could get married again, even after a divorce!!!Royalist John !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAN_S Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Good one, Joh. I notice that you did not post in the "Amusing tales" forum but having had a look at it I see it is surrounded by barbed wire and replies to the posting from Swiss Barry seem to be from aliens talking in code.

Dick Smith Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Terry - before you go, I understand that you are a sadoo. Is that like a kazoo (a musical instrument of raucous intent) or a skidoo (an equally raucous means of transport)? Or is it some East Indies tribe I've never heard of? Please let us know.

0BRIAN WOODHEADI,m here in franceddMMyyyy0Falseen-USI,m here in franceTrue Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Dicky,sadoo is taken from popular culture(not the dairy type!)so you would not know the meaning would you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Someone please put him out of our misery.OK - I'll buy it - is Sadoo an element of popular culture? Please specify and describe? Or is it just that you can't spell Saddo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Smith Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Thank you. I am a saddo. Why?Yes I have knowledge. I'll let you into a secret - so do most people. You don't seem to. That is due to your frailties, which I and the great majority don't share.And you have the temerity to accuse ME of posting rubbish, with your record?I (amongst others) am heartily sick of your trolling, your bad manners (and bad spelling) and your inane posts. And you say you are in the real world?I was sick of being insulted by you in your previous persona - for which you were banned from the forum but came back - and I'm just as sick of it in this one.Get a life.

Jonzjob Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I think that it's about time that this one was put to sleep? Life's too short for bad wine and there is enough agro in the world without importing even more, so why not let's all be friends. The ones who don't wish to be then no problem, just go somewhere else!Don't let it under your skin Dick, it ain't worth it...John.P.S. A tractor has just been cutting the grass verges outside our house, in the snow! Yes even we have had a bit of snow in the Aude last night. All of about 1/2 inch. It will soon go now the sun has started to shine on a lovely day......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0BRIAN WOODHEADI,m here in franceddMMyyyy0Falseen-USI,m here in franceTrue Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Dicky,you asked a question to which I replied to,and now because you do not like the answer(to which you seemed to have taken personally).For your interest I find the fact that you do not even live in france and own a second home here along with your attitude of overwhelming superiority and in general obnoxious in the main just plain condescending,but would not let that get between usPS The `rubbish ` remark was aimed at the word Saddo,sadoo etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Sorry outcast, as you know i'm not in the habit of picking up on your grammar, but it's unclear just what you are intending to say about the fact that Dicksmith has a holiday home here. Currently it seems you find it 'condescending'. Is this really what you meant to say? If so, it doesn't make sense. There is a thread running in 'owning french property' titled something like 'the ethics of having a holiday home', perhaps you could join in there, and make your points regarding second home ownership. Jonjob, it would be nice to be friends, or even just friendly with everyone here, but sometimes this just isn't possible. Outcast gets on my very last nerve sometimes, and i'm not even one of the people he constantly trails around after having digs at (while digging himself in ever deeper holes). I think those people restrain themselves remarkably well in their responses. tresco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0BRIAN WOODHEADI,m here in franceddMMyyyy0Falseen-USI,m here in franceTrue Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Tesco,not going on about the issue of second homes in the post,it was a response to dicky smith who like many other people not all with the same personal traits I must add,do not have the bottle to move over to france and make a living over here,the rights and wrongs of second homes are of no interest to me has I do not have one!.We live over here with two kids and so do not carp from the sidelines,please who are these people being"trailed"this is a forum and topics which are of interest to myself will be responded to.

Tresco Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 You raised the second homes thing outcast and now you're implying that a forum member is a coward because they don't live here. There are many members and guests who use the forum who do not live in France. There is no requirement to do so. You and I probably agree that it's best to think long and hard before making the move, and i'm certain that there are plenty of people on the forum who have done this and decided that it is not for them, some of them reluctantly. These people are not 'carping from the sidelines'. Many of them have demonstrated time and time again that they know a great deal about France, and give very good advice on the forum. It seems clear to me that you respond to certain topics only because a forum member who you have 'taken against' has posted. Any regular reader of the forum will know who those people are, so you certainly don't need to ask me.Can I ask again, why you chose your rather tragic user name? tresco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0BRIAN WOODHEADI,m here in franceddMMyyyy0Falseen-USI,m here in franceTrue Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 You can ask all you like,but it is down to myself if I choose to answer.The fact may of escaped your notice that the forum is call Living France,not dreaming about living in france,as you well know I`m here living and working in france and do not see it as the promise land and if I had a pound for every time someone back in the UK said to me "oh I would love to live in france" I could have three homes in france not one.The reply why dont you then is a great way to lose "friends"The last bit of your posting,well you have gone back to ranting on again,otherwise it might of been serious posting.Thanks for pointing the second home post.

Tresco Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Lots of things escape my notice, but not the fact that the Forum name is Living France, rather than Living in France. Bearing that in mind, I'll just carry on appreciating helpful posters wherever they live. tresco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
