Did anyone see on BBC Breakfast Time the chairwoman of the committee that
has just recommended against changing the organ donor law to opt-out? The
first thing she said was:

"My heart goes out to anyone waiting for an organ transplant".

Really!

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Dave"
saying something like:

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious

Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.

Liver let liver. Your heart wasn't in it. Took to lung to think about it.

spleen. :-)

Spleen there, done that.
Heart?? I left mine in San Francisco.
Pink Floyd song' "... leave them kidneys alone".
It's the lung and short of it all.
I last saw her at St Pancreas Station.
Eyes eyed her up and down.
And cornea her as I was deaf.
Now I'm just (skin) grafting away.

Anyone ever used the 'where shall we go on holiday' stunt?

You and you acomplice claim telpathic powers. You leave the room.

Acomplice explains you are so close you even know each others holiday
destinations. The group choose a destination. You re enter room.

Acomplice starts calling out seemingly random holiday destinations,
eventually he mentions the chosen place & you immediately confirm it as
being the chosen place.

The 'key' is that your acomplice will use a placename containing a body
part; the one 2nd after is the chosen place.

Liverpool, Headcorn, Legoland, Hackney, Armfield, Bristol, Chester,
Plymouth, Wolverhampton, Braintree etc.

Hee Hee Hee. I like that idea. Knowing my luck, I'd forget what was said
and choose the wrong one. Never been good at punch lines. :-) Must give
it a try at the Christmas parties, though.


A far better variation is 'Black Magic'. Can be done with all sorts of
variations in routine. Just mention twoi items, or ten items, 'normally'
using speech, then when the onlookers accuse you of using a particlar
phrase or a certain number of selections, you switch to pointing, no words.
The missus and me have had countless people completely baffled with it.

Of course, I can't tell you how it works, coz I'd then have to kill you!
:-)

(But think about TMH's explanation and work it out from there!)

We've been practicing. Think we know what technique to use. It's had a few
people scratching their heads.

Should go down well as a party piece this year. :-)

I once went out with a Teresa Green. She had to suffer lots of jokes.

B Thumbs


Ho Ho Ho !!! She must be used to it by now. Does she still laugh as though
it's first time she's heard it? :-)

I had a friend at school called Felicity Welcome. She used get called
Facility. She heard it so many times, she wrote it on her notebooks by
mistake a few times. Poor girl. lol

And an engineer who does work for us, is called Gary Goodman, and he is.
