I clicked on it and started reading it to Wifey, who fell about.
I never realised for a while how long this was going to be, but stopped once dinner was ready and that took half an hour.
Bloody hilarious.
I should use this guy to flog my trailer!!!

Blimey, even as a pseudo towny I know the answer to that one!
A farmer friend of mine from school had a mate come to stay, who got the braking wrong and skidded the tractor into another piece of machinery!
Think of fiddle brakes on a trials car!.
(TBH only even a bit of a towny in the UK, deffo not over here!)

We could start a thread with stuff people used to use them for!!!I was a goody goody and wouldn't have dreamt of abusing a school ruler
I even remember one that was in my prep school's store cupboard.
The science teacher had asked a previous class to come up with novel ways of making a set of scales or something to measure weight with. He was very proud of it!
A kid called Baldree used string and a small thing like a tin lid secured to the end of a foot ruler. So, like one end of a jewellers balance.
The idea was you put something in the lid then moved the ruler along the edge of a table until the weight of the rest of the ruler meant it just balanced. The markings on the ruler corresponded in some way to the weight, and the whole contraption was known as "Baldree's balance"!
And I haven't thought about that since about 1967!
We did Nuffield science and I loved it.
Wish the rest of my science lessons in my next school had been as good!

Here's my answer!
Take them all into the garden of number 10.
Put a glass of Champagne in each of their hands.
Then line them up against the wall and say "Last one to drink his glass empty gets shot!"
And shoot the ferkin lot of em.

Completely knackered - had to go to the Smoke yesterday for a meeting. Set off at 0545 to catch the choo choo and got home at seven. I just don’t have any resilience anymore, no strength and definitely no pzazz
