    An A Russian, an Ameican, and a British admiral were having a drink on an American aircraft carrier. They were talking about the bravery of their sailors.

    The Russian said, “I will demonstrate the bravery of our sailors.” He calls a sailor over and says, “Jump off the ship. Swim under it and climb back up”.

    The sailor promptly salutes and jumps off the flight deck, swims under the ship, climbs up the davits and stands in front of the admiral and salutes.

    The Russian says, “That gentlemen, is courage”

    The American says that’s nothing. He calls over a PO and says, “I want you to jump off the bows. Swim under the ship to the stern and then return”.

    The PO salutes jumps off the bow, swims to the stern and climbs back up to stand in front of the admiral and salutes.

    The American says, “That gentlemen, is courage”

    The British admiral says, “That’s nothing. Sailor, come here!”. The matelot comes to attention and salutes.

    The admiral says, “I want you to climb the highest mast on the carrier, jump off, swim under the boat from bow to stern and then from beam to beam then climb up the mast and do it again”

    The matelot looks at the admiral and says, “You can f@*k right off”.

    The admiral turns to the other two and says, “And that gentlemen, is courage”

    Wife went into the garden with some plastic sheet, a hammer and a determined look in her eyes to "waterproof" part of the chicken co-op that is leaking a bit.
    10 minutes later, she came back in, handed me the hammer and said "don't let me use this again!"
    Just spent 20 minutes repairing the coop where she kept missing the nails and managed to crack the frame and splinter some cladding.
    At least I know I'm safe if she ever tries to murder me with a hammer <laugh>

    Unless her incentive to kill you is greater than her incentive to waterproof chickens. And she could claim it was an accident and call us all as witnesses to her incompetence with a hammer.

    'No way she could have done it, guv.'

    Glad he is OK Fats - the positive is that he`ll learn the hard way from the experience. My son came off his motorbike a few years ago, but luckily only dislocated his shoulder, which required a rotator cuff keyhole op. He gave the bike up after that, thank goodness!

    Article says that the roof was ripped off front to back and that would take considerable force. Otherwise, you would expect a buckled roof and a bus jammed beneath the bridge. Sounds like he was going fast.

    THE DIFFERENCE IF YOU MARRY A WELSH GIRL!......

    Three friends married women from different parts of the world.

    ..The first man married a Greek girl
    . He told her that she was to do the dishes and house cleaning.
    It took a couple of days, but on the third day he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put away.

    The second man married a Thai girl.
    He gave his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes and the cooking. The first day he didn't see any results but the next day he saw it was better.
    By the third day he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done, and there was a huge dinner on the table. ...

    .The third man married a girl from Wales.
    He ordered her to keep the house cleaned,
    dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed, and hot meals on the table every day. The first day he didn't see anything,
    the second day he didn't see anything either,
    ...... but by the third day, some of the swelling had gone down,
    he could see a little out of his left eye and his arm was healed enough that he could fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher.
    He still has some difficulty when he urinates.

    I have an Eastern European cleaner and it took her a week to hoover the house. It turns out she's a Slovac

    I know that bridge well. He’d have had to be motoring to rip the roof right off like that. I really hope the poor children recover! The bridge in Romsey has a massive sign well before it which somehow measures the vehicle and flashes big orange lights together with a warning. Still been a few lorries though, but not a bus for a while, thank god.
