Our vine colonised both our neighbours' gardens.
Mum was paranoid about us being nuisance neighbours despite the fact we're always home and keep our own garden well tended. So she tried to track down the offending parts of the climber and snipped them off at source.

What this meant was said neighbours had dead vines in their trees/ bushes.
I had to laugh at her consternation. Best laid plans and all that.
I don't think either of the neighbours noticed.

Mildly amusing:
Big, voluble man in front of me in local shop, on phone.
"Nah, don't worry about a barbeque. Fry up some sausages, stick them in a roll and just put some shit on them." :yum:
I didn't follow him home for lunch.

My guys showed me that when you do a google search for "Big Sarge" my picture is the fifth image. LOL

Nice!

Rugby league, State of Origin, game three.

No punch-up this time, just a streaker late in the game.

I can't find the thread in was in, but after that Korean airlines crash in California, some joker got a TV station to announce the crew names as Captain Sum Ting Wong, Wi To Lo, Ho Li Fuk and Bang Ding Ow.

Korea replies.

Nicely played, Korea.

hahahahahahhahaha!!

I usually could not care less about Hollywood, actors, etc.
But this tickled me...

[quote]Jane Fonda and Alan Rickman will be playing Nancy and Ronald Reagan
in the upcoming film "The Butler," inspired by the true story of Eugene Allen,
a domestic servant at the White House from 1952 to 1986.

Larry Reyes, a Naval veteran who hosts a Facebook page titled "Boycott Hanoi Jane Playing Nancy Reagan"
(which has 435 followers), told a reporter, "The moviemakers are free to choose,
but it seems like it was their way of giving people like me the middle finger."

And on Brietbart.com, John Nolte wrote, "The casting of Fonda was meant to be a finger in the eye
of conservatives from the start, and now it looks as though the entire film is as well."

Jane Fonda as Nancy Reagan? Yeah, that's gonna ruffle some feathers.

saw this in the checkout line last night. I laughed out loud. Almost bought it.

That wine bottle pose is hysterical.

with white gloves (cotton or latex ?) ;)

:lol2:

With the gold wrap on the bottle, I guess that is champagne (ok, sparkling white) ... ready to burst open and spray everywhere. Jus sayin.

There were predictions that headline writers would have impulse-control issues too...

Mum, calling up the stairs, trying to get the answer to a crossword clue.
"Gay comedian, you like him, a bit squat, ginger."
I know my Mum.
"Eddie Izzard"

I did follow this up with a shout that he wasn't gay, but a transvestite, but her cheery response of, "Okay!" makes me think it didn't really register.
