Looks like a case for the Oxford comma but my grammar is getting very shaky these days.

Not too shaky to help out the constabulary, I hope

In answer to the question Alan, English for enterpreneur - go-getter 
, now what is that in welsh?

I thought the English for enterpreneur was entrepreneur or "someone who organizes a business venture and assumes the risk for it". It's actually nothing to do with the quality or method of what you do only that you take the risk.

I agree with Geoff.
There is a perfectly good Welsh word for entrepreneur: mentrwr (plural mentrwyr). Or for female entrepreneuses - mentrwraig (plural mentrwragedd).
This thread is getting distinctly unfunny

How true is this
A haircut
One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door..
Later, a cop come s in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.' The cop was happy and left the shop. The next morning when the barber went to open up, there were a 'thank you' card and a dozen doughnuts waiting for him at his door.
Then a Member of Parliament ca me in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I can not accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The Member of Parliament was very happy and left the shop. The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen other Members of Parliament lined up waiting for a free haircut
And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.
BOTH, POLITICIANS AND NAPPIES

FOR THE SAME REASON!

If you ever wondered why Kate Middleton was reinvented as Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, think of a three-word anagram of her former name

A flyer dropped through my door the other day:
Loose Body Fat
It was for a gym. On the other hand, maybe they wanted to make soap.

We often get those black smoke rings over my house, and that's a sure sign dinner is nearly ready.
