I had a friend who worked at ATT Labs in Murray Hill, NJ. One morning I was eating breakfast, probably around 7am and I got a call from Dave. The conversation went somehow as follows. "Morning Bob, I'm calling you from my car on a cell phone. (He proceeded to educate me about cell phones) We're developing this at the labs. I might lose you as I go beyond the cell's limits." Well, we did lose contact and I turned to my wife and told her about the call. I then said "Who would ever want something like that."
Would any hoggers like my help in picking stocks?
Actually Lucas had 3 positions - Off, Dim and Flicker
Rolls Royce owned by a company in India???? Don't know where you get that oiece of false information.
Caroll Shelby always thought the Sunbeam Tiger was a better car than the Cobra but it had a Ford engine and when Chrysler bought Rootes it didn't have a suitable replacement engine.
Great pictures. Thank you. Beautiful scenery.
Great set of pictures but now I know why you like to visit Africa.
Pretty girl, but oh, those tattoos and piercings ruin the pictures. Is that a tattoo on her forehead?
Strange how the rest of thw world thinks soccer is great, while Americans watch World Championships played only by American teams. Can't think of anything more boring than NFL, NBA and NHL games.
I met Stirling Moss, a nice guy. I think the main reason he never won the world championship was not just his driving British cars but he only had one speed - flat out. Didn't know how to win only how to race. Still, a great and VERY versatile driver, F1, Mille Miglia, Monte Carlo rally. He raced at Le Mans, although he never won that race.
I remember many happy hours listening to The Goon Show. Incredible that their influence is still felt today. One episode I remember is when Neddy Seagoon is being chased up the stairs of a lighthouse by a giant octopus. There is a sound of a door slamming, followed by a scream. Someone (I don’t know who) says Why is he screaming? And Neddy says Wouldn’t you scream if your tentacles were slammed in a door?
Their irreverence was not restricted to Charlie. On her wedding day the goons wrote that it was a sheer coincidence that they had the same opening day. They pointed out that they had rehearsals but couldn’t say whether the same was true for Anne.
Very nice. Beautiful creature. Thanks for sharing.
Should not have had a mouthful of coffee when I read that.
Graham,
There are so many Puritans around that there will always be someone complaining. I enjoy most of your jokes and if I don't I have the option of not reading it again. Gee, ain't that a radical thought.
Keep them coming.
Some of those were laugh-out-loud funny. Very good.
Morning Graham,
Sure, some were pretty bad, others were good. Today's were pretty tame. Keep them coming, all sorts. Till your next post.
