Popular Post Arkady Posted September 5, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2013 When asked during first ever trip to England by my friend's elderly mother what sight she liked best in London after a visit to Westminster, Mrs Arkady replied with authority, "I love Big Cock", meaning big clock, i.e. Big Ben. Then was mortified when assembled company dissolved into uncontrollable mirth. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 On a flight from Amsterdam to BKK I got talking to this Thai girl about 28 or so who I noted earlier waving a tearful good bye to her boyfriend at the airport. She had spent the past two weeks meeting his family and making arrangements for their spring wedding and was returning to the family farm in Udon Thani. I asked her why was she crying? Because she missed her boyfriend? No she said. He very mean. Why is that I said? He take me to small boring island for holiday. He wants to have the wedding there. it's very old an have no cars or motorbikes and water everywhere. Just have old people boats and buildings! You have probably guessed it ... VENICE! I hope the Dutch guy drew up a pre-nup agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simple1 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 A poignant comment just after arriving in Australia. Wife, when she saw an old lady carrying her shopping along a street, "Why are they bad heart & not help mama". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpofc Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 just remembered this. it was after midnight, October 1985, when we left Sydney Airport and headed for the Hawkesbury River (Mooney Mooney). This entailed driving through Sydney, across the Harbour Bridge, North Sydney and beyond. By the time we exited the north end of the harbour bridge she was somewhat bewilded and asked me where all the people were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
