I love seeing jpgs reproduced base64 text


anyhow, here was gerry's joke, which might have sat fine in the joke room.


HILLARY'S FIRST NIGHT AS PRESIDENT

Hillary Clinton was sworn in today as President.

She has disposed of Bill and is spending her first night alone in the White

House.

She has waited several years for this!


FIRST NIGHT

Suddenly!

The ghost of George Washington appears to her, and Hillary says, "How can I

best serve my country?"


Washington says, "Never tell a lie."

"Ouch!" Says Hillary, "I don't know about that."


SECOND NIGHT

The next night, the ghost of Thomas J efferson appears. ..

Hillary says, "How can I best serve my country?"


Jefferson says, "Listen to the people."


"Ohhh! I really really don't want to do that."


THIRD NIGHT

On the third night, the ghost of Abe Lincoln appears...

Hillary says, "How can I best serve my country?"


Lincoln says,


"Go to the theater."

has anyone read up on the republican candidates? scarey lot. can we send america to coventry?


to be honest they are all stir crazy over the water there so it makes not a blind bit of difference who gets in as its the big corporates who make the rules.

morrissey will be pleased if hilary or barack gets in though as he has a song about how america not having had a black or female (or gay but how knows maybe) president, although then he wont be able to sing the song so might be peeved

    • 'Tom Lehrer, acclaimed musical satirist of cold war era, dies aged 97' https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/jul/28/tom-lehrer-dies-aged-97-dead-musical-satirist  
    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
