Fun Stuff / Senior Moments
« on: May 02, 2012, 02:05:37 AM »
    While on a road trip, an elderly couple stopped
    at a roadside restaurant for lunch.
    After finishing their meal,

    they left the restaurant,

    and resumed their trip.

     

     

    When leaving, the elderly woman unknowingly

    left her glasses on the table, and she didn't
    miss them until they had been driving for
    about forty minutes.

    By then, to add to the aggravation, they
    had to travel quite a distance before
    they could find a place to turn around,
    in order to return to the restaurant
    to retrieve her glasses.

    All the way back, the elderly husband
    became the classic grouchy old man.


    He fussed and complained, and scolded
    his wife relentlessly during the entire
    return drive.

    The more he chided her,
    the more agitated he became.

    He just
    wouldn't let up for a single minute.

           To her relief, they finally arrived at the restaurant.
    As the woman got out of the car,


    and hurried inside to retrieve her glasses,

    the old geezer yelled to her,

    While you're in there,

    you might as well get my hat

    and the credit card!!!!!!

Sport / CFC Chaiman Barrie Hubbard to retire.
« on: April 03, 2012, 08:15:29 PM »
Barrie Hubbard has decided at 73 years of age to retire as Chairman of Chesterfield F.C.
Dave Allen is tipped to take over with a further appointment to the board to replace Barrie.
This man has steered the Blues through troubled times (remember the Derren Brown fiasco),and helped keep them going. He also helped to mastermind the B2Net stadium.
He's been there for almost 30 yrs, and before that a lifelong supporter of the club.
I, for one, would like to thank him for his undoubted support for the club, and to wish him a long and happy retirement.
Thank you Mr Hubbard :)

Fun Stuff / Irish Christening
« on: February 09, 2012, 07:03:36 PM »
IRISH CHRISTENING

Patrick's pregnant sister was in a terrible car accident and went into a
deep coma.

After being in the coma for nearly six months, she wakes up and sees that
she is no longer pregnant.
 
Frantically, she asks the doctor about her baby.

The doctor replies, 'Ma'am, you had twins .... a boy and a girl.

The babies are fine, however, they were very ill at birth, and had to be
christened immediately so your brother Patrick came in and named them.


The woman thinks to herself, ' Oh suffering Jesus, no, not me brother, he's a
clueless idiot

Expecting the worst, she asks the doctor,' Well, what's my daughter's name?'

'Denise' says the doctor.

The new mother is somewhat relieved, 'Wow, that's a beautiful name, I guess I
was wrong about my brother', she thought ..'I really like Denise '

Then she asks, ' What's the boy's name?'

The doctor replies ' Denephew '

Fun Stuff / The Arab and the Scotsman
« on: February 01, 2012, 07:39:20 PM »
 
An Arab Sheik was admitted to St Vincent's Hospital for heart surgery, but prior to the surgery, the doctors needed to store his blood in case the need arises. As the gentleman had a rare type of blood, it couldn't be found locally, so, the call went out to all the states. Finally a Scot was located who had a similar blood type. The Scot willingly donated his blood for the Arab. After the surgery, the Arab sent the Scotsman as appreciation for giving his blood, a new BMW, diamonds & US dollars. A couple of days later, once again, the Arab had to go through a corrective surgery. His doctor telephoned the Scotsman who was more than happy to donate his blood again. After the second surgery, the Arab sent the Scotsman a thank-you card & a jar of candies. The Scotsman was shocked that the Arab this time did not reciprocate his kind gesture as he had anticipated. He phoned the Arab & asked him: "I thought you would be generous again, that you would give me a BMW, diamonds & money... But you only gave me a thank-you card & a jar of candies".
To this the Arab replied:
"Aye, but I now have Scottish blood in me veins"._

General Discussion / Colloquialisms

Anyone got any interesting words or phrases that you can remember from our older generations which are not heard today?
For example, my wifes Grandma would use the word "Umpupafoot" to describe someone who was unhappy for some reason. She lived in Bolsover. There must be lots more.
I can remember locals saying "seri" as in you understand?
I cant think of anymore right now, but I'm sure you will. :) :)

Fun Stuff / Postman Pat
« on: January 22, 2012, 06:29:55 PM »

    It was Postman Pat's last day on the job after 35 years of carrying the mail through all kinds of weather to the same villages and towns.


    When he arrived at the first house on his route, he was greeted by the whole family there, who all hugged and congratulated him and sent him on his way with a cheque for £50.

    At the second house they presented him an 18-carat gold watch.

    The folks at the third house handed him a bottle of 15-year old Scotch whisky.

    At the fourth house he was met at the door by a dumb blonde in her lingerie. She took him by the arm and led him up the stairs to the bedroom where she blew his mind with the most passionate love he had ever experienced. When they ;went downstairs, the blonde fixed him a full English breakfast: Bacon, Eggs, Sausage & Tomato with freshly squeezed orange juice. As she was pouring him a cup of steaming coffee, he noticed a one pound coin in the saucer.

    'All this was just too wonderful for words,' he said, 'but what's the quid for?'

    'Well,' said the dumb blonde, 'Last night, I told my husband that today would be your last day and that we should do something special for you'. 'I asked him what I should give you'.

    He said, 'Fuck him. Give him a quid.'

    She smiled shyly and said, 'The breakfast was my idea.'

Chesterfield Discussion / Proposed development of Donut
« on: December 28, 2011, 01:46:18 AM »
What does anyone think about the proposed development of the Donut roundabout, and will it benefit Chesterfield, be a bonus to the likes of the Co-operative store, and say for example, Eyres.
Furthermore, what implications does this development mean for further congestion on to the road in and out of Chesterfield, via stonegravels, where all the buses eminate from the depot in Stonegravels?
