Muppet Of The Week

[mrs_overall]

The award goes to Mr O's cousin who visited us for the first time yesterday. His wife has persuaded him they need a long overdue holiday. He took me on one side and asked in all seriousness if he would need a travel plug if they go to Bournemouth!

[albaqwerty]

Norfolk I could understand, but Bournemouth? lol

[mrs_overall]

He is from Teesside. I don't need to say any more. ;-)

[lady-janine]

[friedgreentomato]

Oi Norfolk is one of the safest places in the UK!! Its not the travel plugs you have to worry about it if they will let you out again!!!

[ummmm]

Lol....reminds me of the time we went to Ireland and we were going to Achill Island, Co Mayo. One of the people with us asked if we needed our passports!!!

[Ratty2E]

Well we can be very exotic here in Bournemouth but our electric is just the same as the rest of the UK.

[Hopkirk]

I hope you strung him along, Mrs O.

[mrs_overall]

Hopkirk - no.

I did wind him up about something else though (much to the amusement of his wife and daughter) - so much so that he wasn't speaking to me when he left. Result!

[tonyav]

Oh gawd, she's at it again.

[Hopkirk]

I knew I could trust you

Quite a few years ago I convinced a friend of mine she needed a passport for Wales. She didn't have one, so we agreed to 'smuggle' her in - which basically involved putting a blanket over her and telling her to bark like a dog if anyone was to stop the car. She was sh!tt!ng herself. So childish, but so, so funny!

[AlwaysConfused]

Two colleagues from work were having a few drinks a few weeks ago. The were outside getting their nicotine intake and chatting. A bloke started talking to them and said to colleague A: 'Ah, you are most definetly a scouser'. Colleague B burst out laughing and said ' don't be silly, she's from Liverpool!'.

[Bbbananas]

Tell him 'nah, just a ***.....'

[Bbbananas]

What??

[Bbbananas]

But plug....

[ChillDoubt]

Joking aside, why do we require passports when flying from Manchester to Edinburgh?

[tonyav]

You may do after the Independence vote, Chill !.

[Barmaid]

Chilldoubt its because even for internal flights the airlines require identity docs and passports are about the only thing they will accept.

I used to commute from London on the Edinburgh train. There was one guard on there who used to take the P*** out of foreign travellers and tell them to have their passports and duty free ready for inspection at the border.

[ChillDoubt]

We do now Tony, certainly did the last time I made the trip 4 years ago!

Why?

[tonyav]

I don't know why Chill.
