Remember the days of good, wholesome food; little boys on bikes climbing cobbled streets with a basket full of Hovis loaves; John and Fanny Craddock with one of the first televised teach-yourself to cook programs?
Well this is an ad from that time of sweet innocence and simple pleasures!

Advice for ladies section
Remember ladies, the best way to attract a man is with your eyes. That's why it's so important to have your eye makeup perfectly applied. If it weren't for the excellent application of proper eye makeup this young lady probably wouldn't get a second look from most guys...

85% of Liverpudlian males say they enjoy sex in the shower - the other 15% haven't been to prison yet!

The Irish have solved their own fuel problems.
They've bought 5 million tons of sand from the arabs and they are going to drill for their own oil!

A vampire bat arrives back at the roost with  his face full of blood.
All the bats get excited and asks where he got it from.
"Follow me" he says.
Off they flew over hills and dales, valleys and hills and into the dark forest.
Suddenly he stops "See that tree over there" he says
"Yes" they say
"WELL I F***ING DIDN'T!"

Husband accompanies his wife to a school reunion.
He says " Christ, who's that pissed-up bloke asleep on the couch?"
She says "that's my ex, we split up 15 years ago and he hasn't stopped drinking since"

I was in B&Q the other day pushing my trolley around when I collided with a young guy pushing his trolley.
I said to the young guy, 'Sorry about that. I'm looking for my wife, and I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I was going.'

The young guy said, That's OK. It's a coincidence. I'm looking for my wife, too. I can't find her and I'm getting a little desperate.'
I said, 'Well, maybe we can help each other. What does your wife look like? '
The young guy said, 'Well, she is 22 years old, tall, with blonde hair, big blue eyes, long legs, big boobs. She's wearing tight jeans, a tiny white t-shirt and no bra.

What does your wife look like?'


I said, 'Doesn't matter --- let's look for yours.'

Signs that you may have had too much to drink


If women ruled the world

If women ruled the world

On a transatlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The turbulence is awful, and things go from bad to worse when one wing is struck by lightning.
One woman in particular loses it. Screaming, she stands up in front of the plane. "I'm too young to die!" she wails. "Well, if I'm going to die, I want my last minutes on Earth to be memorable! I've had plenty of sex in my life, but no one has ever made me really feel like a woman! Well I've had it! Is there ANYONE on this plane who can make me feel like a WOMAN??"
For a moment, there is silence. Everyone has forgotten their own peril, and they all stare, riveted, at the desperate woman in the front of the plane.
Then, a man stands up in the rear of the plane. "I can make you feel like a woman," he says.
He's gorgeous. Tall, built, with long, flowing black hair and jet black eyes, he starts to walk slowly up the aisle, unbuttoning his shirt one button at a time. No one moves.
The woman is breathing heavily in anticipation as the stranger approaches. He removes his shirt. Muscles ripple across his chest as he reaches her, and extends the arm holding his shirt to the trembling woman, and whispers:
"Iron this."

If women ruled the world

How do you fix a woman's watch? - It doesn't matter. There is a clock on the oven....

How do you know when a woman is about to say something smart? - She starts her sentence with "A man once told me..."...
 
My wife asked me "What's on the TV?" - I said, "Dust!"...

Why do women have smaller feet than men? - It allows them to stand closer to the sink....

A fresh-faced lad on the eve of his wedding night asks his mother, "Mom, why are wedding dresses white?" The mother looks at her son and replies, "Son, this shows the town that your bride is pure." The son thanks his mom, and then seeks his father opinion, "Dad, why are wedding dresses white?" The father looks at his son in surprise and says, "Son, all household appliances come in white."

In the beginning, God created the earth and rested. Then God created Man and rested. Then God created Woman. - Since then, neither God nor Man has rested.

In one episode of 'Cheers', Cliff is seated at the bar describing the Buffalo Theory to his buddy, Norm. 

'Well you see, Norm, it's like this………….. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.'

Sounds good to me.

Traffic Question
Most men will get this right! 
Q:   You are driving along a narrow two lane road with a NO PASSING sign posted, and you come upon a bicycle rider. Do you:
(a)
Follow this slow-moving bicycle rider for the next 2 miles, or   
(b) Do you break the law and pass?
     Which is the correct choice?

Two women were playing golf. One teed off and watched in horror as her ball headed directly toward a foursome of men playing the next hole.
The ball hit one of the men. He immediately clasped his hands together at his groin, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in agony.
The woman rushed down to the man, and immediately began to apologize.

'Please allow me to help. I'm a Physical Therapist and I know I could relieve your pain if you'd allow me, she told him. 'Oh, no, I'll be all right. I'll be fine in a few minutes,' the man replied. He was in obvious agony, lying in the foetal position, still clasping his hands together at his groin. At her persistence, however, he finally allowed her to help. She gently took his hands away and laid them to the side, loosened his pants and put her hands inside. She administered tender and artful massage for several long moments and asked, 'How does that feel'?
He replied: 'It feels great, but I still think my thumb's broken.'

cheers G.I.

As I walked down the busy footpath, knowing I was late for an important meeting, my eye fell upon one of those unfortunate, homeless vagabonds that are found in every city these days. Wearing what can only be describes as rags, carrying every worldly possession in two plastic bags, my heart was touched by this persons condition.
Some people turned to stare.
Others quickly looked away as if the sight would somehow contaminate them. Recalling some long ago priest who made an admonition to 'care for the sick, feed the hungry and clothe the naked,' I was moved by some powerful inner urge to reach out to this unfortunate person. Yes, where some people saw only rags, I saw a

hidden beauty.
A small voice inside my head called out, 'Reach out, reach
out!'

New Mouse designed for Women

After many years of research, scientists have discovered that women do not like the standard mouse given away with PC's. Scientists found that there is not a physical reason for their aversion; it is more of a psychological problem. Some women reported that their mouse "just didn't feel right" in their hands. Based on the research, a new mouse has been designed especially for women
Guts or Balls...

There is a medical distinction. We've all heard about people having guts or balls, but do you really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, the definitions are listed below:

GUTS - Is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: ''Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?''

BALLS - Is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the butt and having the balls to say: ''You're next, fatty.''

I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions. Medically speaking, there is no difference in the outcome, since both ultimately result in death.

You have just walked out of the church after your  delightful wedding ceremony and on the church steps, both your families are applauding you with a hundred friends gathered around. The photographer raises his camera and following your family's tradition,  both of you are holding beautiful live white doves which you will release together. Bride and groom stand happily shoulder to shoulder with a dove gently held in both hands as everyone eagerly awaits the climax of your marriage vows.  The photographer gives the ready signal and you open your hands toward the sky and release the doves as a symbol of your eternal love. Not a dry eye anywhere, such a moving sight, the camera flashes and the moment is captured for all eternity.............


A husband and wife are shopping in a supermarket when the man picks up a crate of lager and sticks it in the trolley.
"What do you think you are doing?" asks the wife.
"They're on offer, only £10 for 12 cans", he says.
"Put them back, we can't afford it" says the wife, and they continue shopping.
A little later, the woman picks up a £20 jar of face cream and sticks it in the trolley.
"What do you think you are doing?" asks the man.
"It's my face cream. It makes me look beautiful" she says
"So do 12 cans of lager and it's half the price" the man replies
