The Ruler of All the Universe just said exactly the same!

Ed sounds a bit congested. I diagnose nasal polyps.

Thanks, Angela. I was wondering what his trouble is. (My mum would have said adenoids)

TBA and I discussed Adenoids ---Most people of my age, don't have 'em --- removed with Tonsils, almost as routine, before anybody realised that they have a useful part, in the scheme of Life.
God didn't make many mistakes (Topic for another Thread ? ) even the Camel was left to a Committee !

I suppose, in fairness, we should give Ed some time to settle, before passing judgement ---- ?

I'd rather have had the third brother: Glenn.

You have to be in the mood for jokes like that.

Ed. An incisive inspirational non-cliché-ridden speaker - maybe not. I don't see him doing so well when confronted with David Cameron...

But then - remember John ("Uncle John" to Hertford girls) Major at first. His debating skills improved rapidly!

Some jokes take off on the internet, perhaps this one will start some chat anew on youtube.


I'll get my coat.

This is absolutely TRUE -- Honest !

When reading the jokes about the Third Brother --- I was listening to a CD, on my Computer, entitled "The way we were in the 4os"

Guess what was playing ---------" MOONLIGHT SERENADE "


Ok---- so you are too young to remember it, but to me, it is the epitome of Wartime "Swing"

Uncle John??

Sorry! That sounds a bit vague!

During the mid-Sixties, the mother of a girl in 6's had a charming boyfriend, John Major. He worked for a bank (National Westminster?) and was very active in local Brixton Conservative politics. "Uncle John" was a real sweetie - as I was a Sarf Londoner who lived not far away, I saw quite a bit of him in the school holidays, as did many other friends. JM came to Hertford quite a few times on Long Sats etc, ISTR.

On his behalf I pushed a lot of fliers through Brixton letterboxes and stuffed a lot of envelopes. I must have been 14? I think so. I was allowed out late to help at his Conservative Cheese-and-Wine Party! The sophistication of it!

He was generous, kind and romantic. Our 6's girl's mother nursed him devotedly when he came back from a trip to India with a bad knee injury. JM could make the most terrific curries - remember curry as it was in those days, with sultanas in it and little side dishes of banana and peanuts? Delicious, it seemed.

Yes - lots of nice memories! Then he met that Norma...

............. and that Edwina. I wonder is SHE came with banana's and peanuts ?

Sounds like JM always had a penchant for curry (?ie)
