    The Law Student

    A young Law student, having failed his Law exam, goes up to his crusty old professor, who is renowned for his razor-sharp legal mind. Student: "Sir, do you really understand everything about this subject?" Professor: "Actually, I probably do. Otherwise I wouldn't be a professor, would I?" Student: "OK. So I’d like to ask you a question. If you can give me the correct answer, I will accept my marks as it is. If you can't give me the correct answer, however, you'll have to give me an "A".. Professor: "Hmmmm, alright. So what’s the question?" Student: "What is legal but not logical, logical but not legal, and neither logical nor legal? " The professor wracks his famous brain, but just can't crack the answer. Finally he gives up and changes the student's failing mark into an "A" as agreed, and the student goes away, very pleased. The professor continues to wrack his brain over the question all afternoon, but still can’t get the answer. So finally he calls in a group of his brightest students and tells them he has a really, really tough question to answer: "What is legal but not logical, logical but not legal, and neither logical nor legal? " To the professor's surprise (and embarrassment), all the students immediately raise their hands. "All right" says the professor and asks his favorite student to answer "It's quite easy, sir" says the student "You see, you are 75 years old and married to a 30 year old woman, which is legal, but not logical. Your wife has a 22 year old lover, which is logical, but not legal. And your wife's lover failed his exam but you've just given him an "A", which is neither legal, nor logical."

    "Avocados"

    I had to explain it,
  3. The trouble is the only people who have time to be councillors are the very ones who haven't got the necessary skills.
  4. I'm becoming more and more convinced that all local councils are competing in a secret competition, to see which one can come up with the daftest idea and waste the most money. Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk 2
  5. Why do they need more car park spaces? Surely the whole object of the Park snd Ride is to avoid increasing the traffic in the town. Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk 2

    Holy Smoke

    An old nun who was living in a convent next to a construction site noticed the coarse language of the workers and decided to spend some time with them to correct their ways. She decided she would take her lunch; sit with the workers; and talk with them. She put her sandwich in a brown bag and walked over to the spot where the men were eating. Sporting a big smile, she walked up to the group and asked: "And do you men know Jesus Christ?" They shook their heads and looked at each other. Very confused. One of the workers looked up into the steelworks and yelled out, "Anybody up there know Jesus Christ?" One of the steelworkers yelled down, "Why?" The worker yelled back, Cause his Mum's here with his lunch." (Remind me to say 6 Hail Marys before I go to bed)
  9. True story reported by an English guy who was stopped and asked to give a breathalyzer test. The English guy lives near Le Bugue in the Dordogne and at the time he was stopped he was as pis*ed as a fart... The gendarme signals to him to wind down the window then asks him if he has been drinking, and with a slurring speech the English guy replies; 'Yes, this morning I was at my (hic)..daughter's wedding, and as I don't like church much I went to the cafe opposite and had several beers.' 'Then during the wedding banquet I seem to remember downing three great bottles of wine; (hic)... a corbieres, a Minervois and (hic)...a Faugeres.' 'Then to finish off during the celebrations.... and (hic) during the evening ...me and my mate downed two bottles of Johnny Walker's black label.' Getting impatient the gendarme warns him; 'Do you understand I'm a policeman and have stopped you for an alcohol test'? The Englishman with a grin on his face replies; 'Do you understand that I'm English, like my car, and that my wife is sitting in the other seat, at the wheel?'
  10. Well how did "Jim" get on from the confines of his office?
  11. Same here. The times are only a guide.
  12. You might find this helpful, it's a comparison of times to the Entrance in Summer and Winter from Rockley, Cobbs and Parkstone Bay. Assuming keeping to the 6 knt speed limits and the 10 knt speed limit in the Summer and a maximum of 20 knts in the winter. Summer Rockley to Entrance = 33mins Cobbs to Entrance = 30mins Parkstone Bay Marina = 17mins Winter Rockley to Entrance = 20mins Cobbs to Entrance = 24mins Parkstone Bay Marina = 11mins
  13. I'm at Rockley, my boat's 16.5 ft and I'm not on the rack. I asked to go on a ground level stand so I could get to the boat at any time.
  14. Problem is my son-in-law also uses the boat, so by filling up our way home we each pay for the fuel we use.
  15. I know, but there's no way I'm leaving the fuel tanks on the boat and as Diane and I both drive diesels I can see no way around it.
  16. I'm at Rockley, outboard with portable fuel tanks, so I take them with me and fill up on the way home.
  17. Wouldn't be on a mooring, dry stored. Jerry is your boat petrol or diesel?
  18. Hi Jerry. Being much smaller than Cobbs, you get a friendly first name service at Rockley. As for fuel, I buy mine at the local garage and take it with me. If carrying fuel to the boat isn't practical, there's always Corals by Poole Bridge. Might be worth asking Martin (aka Maverick) or Tony (aka Fisherman 1055) what they do. Brian
  19. Instead of foam, I heard of people filling the space with plastic balls (type used in childrens play pits). Can easily be removed if needed. This type of thing http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/330910582325?lpid=83&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=83&ff19=0
  20. Just before the photo was tsken the bilge pump had been running, that's why I posed like that, but mate took too long taking photo. Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk 2
  21. Proof that Men Have Better Friends. Friendship among Women: A woman didn't come home one night. The next morning She told her husband that she had slept over at a friend's house. The man called his wife's 10 best Friends. None of them knew anything about it. Friendship among Men: A man didn't come home one night. The next morning he Told his wife that he had slept over at a friend's House. The woman called her husband's 10 best friends. Eight confirmed that he had slept over, and two said he was still there.
  22. Not actually fishing, both taken approx. 1980, In the first photo I'm waiting for enough water so I can go fishing. The second photo was taken about an hour before my youngest daughter outfished me.

    New toy fitted

    I moved the VHF to make room for my new sonar, Lowrance Elite 7x HDi. Also moved the HDS5 to the right so the new toy is straight in front of me. Can't wait to get out and play.
