Brogues, don't make me laugh! The youth of today are content to wear plimsoles all the time. Even in church.

St Elmo's Fire - John Parr

On the same day I noticed a young woman smoking while walking down the street. Shameless. In my day she'd have been given a good ticking off by a rozzer. Country's going to the dogs.

The other day I saw a young fellow wearing gold-coloured plimsoles. Bold as you like. God help us if there's a war, that's all I can say.

I'm On Fire - Bruce Springsteen

I wish they'd bring back David Greig's, you know where you stood with Greigs so you did. The serving girls used to add everything up in their heads and they'd never be a farthing out.

Actually this too many T's business has been discussed before. And I seem to remember there was a forlorn ballot on the subject. Yes I'm sure hopeless ED voted.

Loz, i think I can confidently say that the Irish people will not judge you harshly. The Leprechauns on the other hand are a law unto themselves...

Ms B Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > "...they're looking for tree fellers and there's > only two of us." Ms B, I can't recall if the chaps in question had any relgious affiliation, but if they were Irish Catholics wouldn't you think they could muster at least one other relative to make up the numbers?

Bloody hell Ms B and Loz, I make an innocent enquiry about a joke and end up with a torrent of what can only be described as oppressive stereotyping. From what I can see you appear to be implying that the Irish people involved took the sign to be literally written in spoken 'Irish' vernacular and made a foolish error thereby missing out on an opportunity for gainful employment. I find myself reduced to lowering my eyes, and shaking my head from side to side, more in sorrow than in anger.

Sorry to go of topic for a second but, I think it's fairly relevant. Can anyone help me with the punchline to an old joke. There's a sign outside an arborists saying TREE FELLERS WANTED. Wish I could remember the rest, but I think it involved an Irishman. I think as well there may have been another Irishman. And on reflection apart from the owner of the business I vaguely recall the other character may have been Irish too. If only I could put it all together. Anyone?

Jrussell, I reckon you posted this to get a rise out of the EDFers. I bet you thought people would get all mardy and take you seriously. Well I'm glad to say your little scheme hasn't worked. Bet your face is red.
