Ah jeeez all very good Marek. Ah Im particularly interested in the DTIZ one as I can tell you, cross my heart, I saw two Oirish paddies with shovels out there this morning digging the first hole.
"what are yer doing" sez I, while out walking the wolfhound.
"We're putting in the first foundation stone for the Asda shop so we are!"
"The ground looks nice and soft" sez I feeling uplifted
"Ah we know" sez them "we pour lots of Guinness on it first to soften it up!"
I saw a gaggle of geese flying overhead as this conversation was taking place but I dont know if they were the geese belonging to water wading Ian or not, they could have been though.. out on an early morning sabatical.email: dover7@msn.com - 1 April 2009 07:2318743
I remember in my youth whilst working nights we invented a French Passenger called Jacque D'Poisson.We made up a file, filled in the details and false interview notes and then marked the file to show that the passenger had been detained and placed in DHB Police Stn awaiting further examination.The file was then put in the office ready for the office man to re-interview and reach a decision as to whether the Frenchman should be refused or granted entry.Just image the poor office lads face when the following morning he traipsed to the police station only to find no Mr D'Poissin.
What followed was less of a joke and our humour wasn't shared by the Inspector and DHB Police who spent most of the day arguing as to who was responsible for this poor 'mans' disappearance. It was well worth the bollocking we all duly received,

Burlington House, the multi-storey carpark and MFI are ideal platforms to enable harnessing the wind to save the planet.
Predictably, Nimbyism has raised its ugly head and DTIZ supporters are rising up to resist this essential and farsighted green measure with the formation of a new pressure group:

1 April 2009 07:5018750dhb have anouced plans to fill in the harbour and to change it to a lorry park. - 2 April 2009 01:4218780I did have to have a laugh at the Aprils Fool on Radio 1 this morning, April Fuels Day - 1/2 price available fuel in particapting forecourts, people had to phone in and get the address as they were not allowed to give details because of advertising.
How many people knew it was an April Fool - How many people were gullible to phone and ask for details (which were put on air). So Comical.
Didn't hear many more on the media line after 8am...... - 2 April 2009 10:1118793One that really made me laugh a couple of years ago was the apprentice gardener at a most prestigious pile. The gardens, naturally, were immaculate, the lawns not only mown in strips, but chequerboard.
The inhabitants and staff opened their curtains on the morning of April 1st to find trails of molehills all across the lawns.
The gardener had spent weeks before, making imitation ones ...
Up here, yesterday, the joke was that we are going to outdo the white horse artwork planned for north Kent. We've going to have a much-bigger concrete cow with a viewing gallery in its eyes to survey the new city, and in the glass udder a cafe-bar, serving, amongst other things, specialty milk shakes ... I understand the founder's name for this bid is Paul D' Otherwon ... or even Paul D'Udderun ...
