  5. During a radio quiz, the panel of experts were asked the following question concerning gun salutes: “When a Prince is born, 21 guns are fired; when a Princess is born, 18 guns are fired. What should be the salute if Royal twins are born?” The German Professor, an expert on international Royal Etiquette did not know, but the elderly retired Royal Air Force Wing Commander on the panel recollected that when he was in Malta, the Air Marshall’s daughter gave birth to twins and they fired a Flt Lieutenant ! Those were the days !
  6. A nun, badly needing to use the restroom, walked into a local bar. The place was hopping with music and loud conversation and every once in a while, the lights would go out. Each time this happened, the place would erupt into cheers. However, when the revelers saw the nun, the room went dead silent. She walked up to the bartender, and asked, “May I please use the restroom?” The bartender replied, “Okay, but I should warn you that there is a statue of a naked man in there wearing only a fig leaf.” “Well, in that case, I’ll just look the other way,” said the nun. So the bartender showed the nun to the back of the bar. After a few minutes, as the lights went out again and the nun came back out, the whole place stopped to give the nun a loud, enthusiastic round of applause. She went to the bartender and said, “Sir, I don’t understand. Why did they applaud for me just because I went to the restroom?” “Well, now they know you’re one of us,” said the bartender. “Would you like a drink?” “No thank you, but, I still don’t understand,” said the puzzled nun. “You see,” laughed the bartender, “every time someone lifts the fig leaf on that statue, the lights go out.”
  7. Quite an interesting clip. Refers to Margarine ~ 14:45. Mentions Hydrogenation and it's effects while processing. Do the good brands of Margarine totally eliminate this?
  8. Why not? Yes I know, there are many here who post only to increase their post counts with absolutely nothing useful, but also I have found others who post very knowledgeable, useful and helpful posts. In a public forum, after awhile one knows exactly how to separate the wheat from the chaff... that's life on this planet, I believe.
  9. TBO, I was not searching for methods of increasing my lifespan! - 555 It's just that I was very interested to know the real difference between these spreads. My 1st preference is also butter! But, what REALLY are the other two? I mean the manufacturing process, additives etc
  10. Priest's Retirement Speech A Priest was being honoured at his Retirement Dinner after spending several years in the Parish. The leading local Politician was chosen to make the presentation and to give a little speech at the farewell Dinner. However, he was late, so the Priest decided to say his own few words while they waited: He commenced with: “Thank Goodness we Catholics have a wonderful sense of humour !!” “I got my first impression of this Parish from the very first confession I ever heard here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first person who entered my confessional, and whom I shall not name, told me he had stolen a television set and, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it, snatched gold chains from ladies. He had stolen money from his parents; embezzled from his employer; had an affair with his Boss’s wife; taken illegal Drugs; had several Homosexual affairs; was arrested several times for public nudity. I was appalled that one person could do so many awful things. But as the days went on, I learned that my people were not all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people.” Just as the Priest finished his talk, the Politician arrived full of apologies for being late. He immediately began to make the presentation and gave his talk: “I’ll never forget the first day our parish Priest arrived,” said the Politician. “In fact, I had the honour of being the first person to go to him for a confession.”
  11. Marmite is available in Thailand? I've never seen it on the shelves!
  12. What really is the best for consumption? Butter is animal fat and contains saturated fat - unhealthy, but humans have consumed it for centuries... Margarine is vegetable fat 80% water 20% - but the manufacturing process makes it unhealthy... Fat Spread is 20% Fat 80% water... So how could one choose what's best?
