The Winter Boots

(Anyone who has ever dressed a child will love this)



Did you hear about the teacher who was helping one of her
class pupils put on his boots?

He asked for help and she could see why.

Even with her pulling and him pushing, the little boots
still didn't want to go on.

By the time they got the second boot on, she had worked up a sweat.

She almost cried when the little boy said, 'Teacher,
they're on the wrong feet.'

She looked, and sure enough, they were.

It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off than it was
putting them on.

She managed to keep her cool as, together, they worked to get the boots back on, this time on the correct feet.

He then announced, 'These aren't my boots.'

She bit her tongue, rather than get right in his face and
scream, 'Why didn't you say so? ' like she wanted to.

Once again she struggled to help him pull the ill-fitting
boots off his little feet.

No sooner had they got the boots off when he said,
'They're my brother's boots. My Mum made me wear 'em.'

Now she didn't know if she should laugh or cry.

But she mustered up what grace and courage she had left to wrestle the boots on his feet again.

Helping him into his coat, she asked, 'Now, where are your
mittens?'

He said, 'I stuffed 'em in the toes of my boots.'

She will be eligible for parole in three years.

The Cow: I give 20 litres of milk every day and that's why I am the greatest!!


The Ant: I work day and night, summer and winter, I can carry 52 times my own weight and that's why I am the greatest!!

At the risk of getting some strange responses, has anyone used a mannequin to practice portrait photography? I am thinking of getting either the head and shoulders or even the full body to practice lighting techniques. I did a search on Ebay and have seen them at reasonable prices. Thoughts?

Is there a bird photographer who can advise me whether shooting photographs through a telescope is a successful exercise?


PS, you will attract a lot of birds in the woods if you take some Lard with you, and put it in the holes in the tree's, like you see in my second photo.

Does anyone ever get upset that you cannot take a picture these days without getting the Chem trails in the sky? What happened to the blue skies with the big puffy white clouds? Can you only get them now as digital backdrops and downloads? Just wondering.


Well, tayco - What is a 'Chem trail?'

I recently picked a new NHS doctor.
After two visits and exhaustive blood tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. (I just reached 68).
A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him,
'Do you think I'll live to be 90?'
He asked,
'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink lots of beer, wine or hard liquor?'
'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'
Then he asked,
'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued Ribs?'
'I said, 'Not much... my former doctor said that too much red meat is very unhealthy!'
'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?'
'No, I don't,' I said.
He asked,
'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lots of sex?'
'No,' I said...

He looked at me and said,.. 'Then, why the Hell do you want to live till you’re 90?

'Three Cornish Kick Rule'


An English lawyer went duck hunting in Truro . He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer's field on the other side of a fence.

As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly farmer drove up on his tractor and asked him what he was doing. The litigator responded, "I shot a duck and it fell in this field, and now I'm going to retrieve it."

The old farmer Peter replied, "This is my property, and you are not coming over here."

The indignant lawyer said, "I am one of the best trial lawyers in England and, if you don't let me get that duck, I'll sue you and take everything you own."

The old farmer smiled and said, "Apparently, you don't know how we settle disputes in Cornwall. We settle small disagreements like this with the 'Three Kick Rule.'

The lawyer asked, "What is the 'Three Kick Rule'?"

The Farmer replied, "Well, because the dispute occurs on my land, I get to go first. I kick you three times and then you kick me three times and so on back and forth until someone gives up."

The lawyer quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that he could easily take the old codger. He agreed to abide by the local custom.

The old farmer slowly climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the attorney. His first kick planted the toe of his heavy steel-toed work boot into the lawyer's groin and dropped him to his knees!

His second kick to the midriff sent the lawyer's last meal gushing from his mouth. The lawyer was on all fours when the farmer's third kick to his rear end, sent him face-first into a fresh cow pie.

Summoning every bit of his will and remaining strength the lawyer very slowly managed to get to his feet. Wiping his face with the arm of his jacket, he said, "Okay, you old fart. Now it's my turn."

(I love this part)

The old farmer smiled and said, "Nah, I give up. You can have the duck."

Thanks all for your help. Terry.

Hi, Is anyone using an Eye-fi card with a D800E . In the manual it says that the Eye-fi symbol should appear in the top control panel of the camera, but mine does not. Could anyone shed some light on this for me as I am having a few problems with the card anyway. Thanks in anticipation. Terry.


I had a time setting mine up in my D80, had to go in their forum. Finally my problem was I had to go into the menu of the camera and change the setting "auto meter"- off" to something longer so set I at 30 min.. It really eats the battery and never shuts off the speed light so I set it back to 16s when I don't want to use it. To bad it don't move the raw files. maybe a different card would I don't know. I wanted it to move files so I wouldn't have to take card out or connect the wire. things like that ware out.

Nice one best advice Iv'e seen. Still giggling.

farmerjim wrote:
Some great advice and interesting points so far.
There are a number of cultural differences and the following points should be remembered;/....................

1. The best way to stop a double-decker bus is to jump out into the middle of the road and wave your arms at it.

2. When entering a bus or underground train it is customary to shake hands with all the other passengers.

3.The houses of ill repute in London are marked with a blue lamp.

4. To test the famous echo in the dome of St. Pauls Cathedral or the other one in the British Museum Reading Room visitors should shout at the top of their voice .

5.London taxi drivers do not expect a tip and would be offended if you offered one.

6.When a pub says it is a "free house" it means you do not have to pay for the beer.

7. Remember when using the underground to stand on both sides of the escalator in rush hour.

8.If hiring a car, remember that the number of yellow lines along a road indicates the number of hours you can park there for free

9. There are no police-women in London, but many of the more obliging prostitutes demonstrate their willingness to 'dress up' and 'role play' by wearing police-style uniforms and walking the streets.

10.London bus drivers can be a surley bunch but will always smile and perk up if you always pay them with a twenty pound note.

E-F has excellent support through email. They're fast and to the point. I've even done a chat with them. Give that a try.

Well, it looks like their support system has changed since I used it last. Try here.
