Re: Crap Joke No.83840370

Bob and his co-workers Susan and Tim went out to lunch to celebrate Bob's birthday and were sitting together in the restaurant when the waitress came over. She handed them their menus and said, "Good afternoon, welcome to Ruby’s Kitchen! Before we get started, might I ask if you're here to cele...

They wouldn't be going if it wasn't worth it. Sure, they won't be getting massive amounts, but it won't be £50 and a plate of sandwiches.

Re: Cruel World Festival, Pasadena, May 2024

I guess it's like that other one a few years back in Vegas, they're not exactly well known over there. A decent bit of cash for a few hours work, and maybe an opportunity for them to do a few gigs while they're over there. And not really a festival full of bands of a similar style as far a I can tell.

Re: Rip Shane Mgowan

Oh, I read something recently that suggested he wasn't well, that's a pity. Documentary on BBC2 at 23:15 tonight.

Re: Crap Joke No.83840370

I'm already bored with my time machine and I've only had it a year.

Probably won't bother getting it.

Re: Crap Joke No.83840370

I bought a load of shares in a company that makes clothing for the clergy - vicars' cassocks, monks' robes, nuns' habits, bishops' mitres, that sort of thing - but the market collapsed and I lost a fortune.

Still, it did say in the small print that the value of vestments can go down as well as up

Re: Crap Joke No.83840370

They say that Mafia members are nasty people, but while growing up, I lived next door to one and he was actually a nice guy.

In fact, every morning, he paid me £20 just to start his car.

Re: Best song seen live?

i don't know if you was at that gig but i was and i remember thinking wtf is that why is JJ whispering Something better change !!! I wasn't, much too far south for me to venture.

Re: Best song seen live?

Which kind of relates back to the other thread when i mentioned the same song was sang a bit weird by JJ with a whisper at Alexander Palace. Its another example how JJ can be so good vocally on one tour and then so different at another. Maybe just a thing of the time - if you recall he sang it the ...

Re: Crap Joke No.83840370

Once upon a time in the USA, there was a wasp. Now, this wasp was no ordinary wasp. No, this was an extremely intelligent wasp. He was so smart, in fact, that one day he decided to leave the nest to go to high school. Obviously, this was a big deal for his family, but they supported him in following...

Re: Crap Joke No.83840370

Did you know Las Vegas has more Catholic churches than casinos? Not surprisingly, some Sunday worshipers give casino chips when the collection basket is passed. Since they get chips from many different casinos the churches devised a system to handle the collections. The churches send all of their co...
