I sez to Barmy Albert, “You seem a tad depressed, matey.” He gazed at me with a saturnine grimace and declared, “I’ve just got old, all of a sudden! Moreover, I’ve had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees, got dodgy diabetes. I’m half blind, can’t hear nowt proper, I’m taking ten tablets a day that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. Sometimes, I can’t remember what the flamin’ hell I’m doing.

So the social workers are finally satisfied, and ask what age of child they were looking for. “We don’t give a damn”, they say, “as long as it fits in the cannon”.
The odd-job man I hired yesterday was a total waste of time. I gave him a list of 8 jobs to do and when I got back, he’d only done 1,3, 5 and 7.
Thought for Thursday: 3D TV is brilliant! I’ve just watched the BBC weather forecast and I’m saturated!
The phone rings in the church vestry and the priest answers. The voice asks: ‘Hello, is this Father O’Connor?’ He replies: ‘It is!’ ‘This is the Inland Revenue. Can you help us?’ ‘I most certainly can!’ ‘Do you know a Tommy Scroggins?’ ‘I do!’ ‘Is he a member of your congregation?’ ‘He is!’ ‘Did he donate £20,000 to the church?’ ‘He will!.’
