A friend sent me this and I thought it was hysterical so enjoy.

A heart-warming tale for your perusal.

This is a short story about the bond formed between a little girl and a group of building workers. It's allegedly true and makes you want to believe in the goodness of people and that there is hope for the human race.
A young family moved into a house next door to an empty plot. One day Joe, Steve and a gang of building workers turned up to start building a house.
The young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next door and started talking with the workers.
She hung around and eventually the builders, all with hearts of gold, more or less adopted the little girl as a sort of project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had tea and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important.
They even gave her her very own hard hat and gloves.
At the end of the first week they presented her with a pay envelope containing two pounds in 10p coins. The little girl took her 'pay' home to her mother who suggested that they take the money she had received to the bank the next day to start a savings account.
When they got to the bank the cashier was tickled pink listening to the little girl telling her about her 'work' on the building site and the fact she had a 'pay packet'.
'You must have worked very hard to earn all this', said the bank cashier.
The little girl proudly replied, 'I worked all last week with the men building a big house.'
'My goodness gracious,' said the cashier, 'Will you be working on the house again this week, as well?' The little girl thought for a moment and said...
'I think so. Provided those w****** at Jewsons deliver the f****** bricks.'

Thats brilliant. Thanks, Gerry.

Hi Lizzie and Gerry,
I feel that you might appreciate this:
The old boy in the pub said I'm fed up with this bloody Irishman. Asked which Irishman he said the one fighting that woman in the election in America.
We all presume he was meaning Barack O'bama!
JB.

Nice one.

My old Mum still insists that I have dildo rails in my house (not dado) I've tried to explain to her but i'm too embarrassed to tell her.

that's absolutely brilliant, bless her!!

Hi all,
You won't believe this but a while ago there was speculation here that he may have Irish connections.
Gerry.

You mean like .........

Yep Geoff.......bless her. I love my old Mum to bits, but she does come out with some belters.

One time, there used to be a diy magazine called The Knack, and one of my brothers asked her to pick a copy up. She went into a newsagents and said to the bloke behind the counter "Excuse me, but do you have The Knack?"

He looked her straight in the eye and, in front of a packed shop, said "I dunno girl, but come round the back and i'll show you!"

She didn't click at first, the shop was in uproar then she went bright red when a voice at the back shouted "If you find he hasn't Queen, come here and see if I have!"

She told him to buy his own magazines in future
