dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 A young rabbit was out for his first time and trying to cross a busy highway, an older rabbit came up , looked at his young companion and said " what's up?" The young bunny replied, "i'm just not sure how I can get across this busy road without getting hit" "ah thats easy "said the older rabbit," you just run to the middle of the first lane and stop, wait until the approaching car has passed over you, then run to the middle of the next lane, stop, wait for the car coming the other way to pass over you, then run to the other side, it's easy!" "Hmm i'm not so sure about that" said the younger rabbit. The older one then said, "look , watch, i'll show you," Off he runs and completes the crossing safely. The younger rabbit, still wary runs to the middle of the first lane, he crouches down as the first car passes over him, "wow, this is easy" he said to himself and runs to the second lane, the car approaches..and Bang, crunch, the young rabbit is flattened, The older rabbit watching from the side is horrified, " Oh Crap!" he says mournfully, "I forgot to warn him about Reliant Robins!"

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 They were downright dangerous if you didn't know how to drive them properly, prone to falling over if you cornered too fast,(A lot of people tended to plant a sack of potatoes in the passenger seat if being driven driver only!) even so they sold thousands of them as they were great city cars, and being fibreglass, they didn't rust, The Robin was very popular and replaced the Regal III which Joe has posted. (A 4 wheeled version called the Kitten was also available, but as it was then classed as a car and not a tricycle it had to pay full car road tax as opposed to motorcycle rates for the 3 wheelers, hence they were not so popular.)The vans were in fact slightly more stable as the load kept them glued down ! The Robin was replaced by the Rialto during the 80s but the name never caught on and the next incarnation returned to the Robin name. All the variants are regularly misnamed as Robin Reliants, especially by the entertainment fraternity. Inspite of the jokes (Plastic pigs, 3 pin plugs etc)those in the know greatly value these little cars and rightly so, they are a legend in Britain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliant http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=reliant+cars&hl=en&tbo=u&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ei=q4UXUd Link to post Share on other sites

brett 2,315 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Q. How many pilots does it take to change a light bulb?A. Three.One to screw it in, one to read out the checklist and one to whine about having to do it themselves... A couple of F-15's are escorting a C-130 Hercules, and their pilots are chatting with the pilot of the transport to pass the time. Talk comes ‘round to the relative merits of their respective aircraft. Of course the fighter pilots contend that their airplanes were better because of their superior speed, maneuverability, weaponry, and so forth, while the putting down the Herc’s deficiencies in these areas. After taking this for a while, the C-130 pilot says, "Oh yeah? Well, I can do a few things in this old girl that you'd only dream about." Naturally, the fighter jocks challenge him to demonstrate. "Just watch," comes the quick retort. And so they watch. But all they see is that C-130 continuing to fly straight and level.. After several minutes the Herc pilot comes back on the air, saying "There! How was that?" Not having seen anything, the fighter pilots reply, "What are you talking about? What did you do?" And the Herc pilot replies, "Well, I got up, stretched my legs, got a cup of coffee, then went back an took a leak." Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 In a similar vein to Brett's above... Same situation, but F-15s are escorting a BUFF. The usual banter goes back and forth and finally the B-52 pilot says, "OK, I'm going to challenge you. I'm about to do something and I'd like to see you do the same." The fighter jocks watch and the old bomber just continues to plod along sedately. Finally, one says, "When are you going to do it?" The BUFF-driver replies, "I already did - I shut down two engines - your turn." John Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 A B-52 again in this one.... There's an old story about an F-16 pilot calling ATC for a priority landing because his single-engine jet fighter was running "a bit peaked." ATC told the fighter jock that he was number two behind a B-52 that had one shut down."Ah," the pilot remarked, "the dreaded seven-engine approach!" John Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Benedict was the first non-Italian Pope in centuries. It will be interesting to see if Rome re-asserts itself or if the next Pope will also be from somewhere outside the boot. Maybe Berlusconi will throw his hat in the ring, or Sarkozy, for that matter. Interesting times... John EDIT: Oops - how could I have forgotten about the Polish Pope who preceded him? OK, lets make that the second non-Italian Pope in centuries. Senior moment....

Quickmarch 488 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Fantastic! I got both once I booted the laptop. Crapple fails again! If anyone can come up with ANYTHING the iPad does well, please let me know. Loved the Bill Bailey cut. Sent it off to my brother who is a very accomplished guitarist. He calls the electronic enhancements "noise". Poor woman - she had a nice voice, though. Ok - back to jokes There's this doctor, drives a big Mercedes. One day he has a mechanical problem with the car and takes in to the local mechanic. As the mechanic is tinkering about in the innards, he remarks: "This is sort of like what you do, isn't it?" The doctor looks at him and says. "try doing that while it's running" Cheers, March Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 A man's beloved dog dies. Fearing the worst, but with a spark of hope, he rushes the pooch to the vet's office and implores the doctor to see if anything can be done. The doctor performs a cursory examination of the dog and says, "Sir, I'm very sorry, but your dog is dead." Refusing to accept that, the man again begs the doctor to do whatever he can, however desparate, to see if there is still a glimmer of life that can bring his faithful pet back. The doctor shrugs, warning the man it may be expensive and is almost certainly hopeless but the man is unrelenting. The vet aquiesces, leaves the examining room and comes back with two more animals, a Black Labordor Retriever and a Siamese cat with an attitude. The newly arrived dog approaches the dead one and eyes it carefully, gives it a couple of sniffs, puts his tail between his legs, and returning to the doctor, lies on the floor with his head in his paws and makes several mournful whining sounds. Next the doctor picks up the disainful feline and puts him on the examining table with the patient. The cat, looking somewhat disgusted, walks up and down a couple of times, turns to the Dr. and just shakes his head slowly. The dog owner finally accepts the inevitable. Later, in the outer office, the man is presented with a bill for $2,500. He screams in outrage and demands to talk to the vet again. When the receptionist calls the vet back to the desk, the man, now extremely irate, shouts, "How can you charge me $2,500? I was only here ten minutes and you did essentially nothing." The vet calmly replies, "Sir, if you'd accepted my initial diagnosis the charge would have been $20. You insisted on more. You must realize how expensive LAB tests and CAT scans are these days.
