A little history of Nutrition in the UK

Nutrition Funny 1In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, with green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.

Then using God’s bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Ice Cream and Magnums. And Satan said, ‘You want hot fudge with that? And Man said, ‘Yes!’ And Woman said, ‘I’ll have one too with chocolate chips’. And lo they gained 10 pounds.Nutrition Funny 2

And God created the healthy yoghurt that woman might keep the figure that man found so fair.

And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 12 to size 14.

So God said, ‘Try my fresh green salad’. And Satan presented Blue Cheese dressing and garlic croutons on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.

God then said ‘I have sent you healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them’.

And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns, butter-dipped lobster chunks and chicken fried steak, so big it needed its own platter, and Man’s cholesterol went through the roof.

Nutrition Funny 3Then God brought forth the potato; naturally low in fat and brimming with potassium and good nutrition.
Nutrition Funny 4
Then Satan peeled off the healthy skin and sliced the starchy centre into chips and deep-fried them in animal fats adding copious quantities of salt. And Man put on more pounds.

God then brought forth running shoes so that his Children might lose those extra pounds.

And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging suits.

Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite.
Nutrition Funny 5
And Satan created McDonalds and the 99p double cheeseburger. Then Satan said ‘You want fries with that?’ and Man replied, ‘Yes, and super size ‘em’. And Satan said, ‘It is good.’ And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest.

God sighed

…and created quadruple by-pass surgery.

And then Satan chuckled

…and created the National Health Service.

THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITION

After an exhaustive review of the research literature, here’s the final word on nutrition and health.:

  • Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
  • Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
  • Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
  • Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
  • Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
  • The French eat foie-gras, full fat cheese and drink red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what does it.

Top 9 things you’d want to take back….

The top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators during the Olympics that they would like to take back:

  1. Weightlifting commentator: ‘This is Gregorieva from Bulgaria . I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing.’
  2. Dressage commentator: ‘This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother.’
  3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: ‘I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.’
  4. Boxing Analyst: ‘Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious.’
  5. Softball announcer: ‘If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again.’
  6. Basketball analyst: ‘He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn’t like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces.’
  7. At the rowing medal ceremony: ‘Ah, isn’t that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew.’
  8. Soccer commentator: ‘Julian Dicks is everywhere. It’s like they’ve got eleven Dicks on the field.’
  9. Tennis commentator: ‘One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them… Oh my God, what have I just said?’

Many thanks to Dawg for sharing his funnies :)

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

This link was posted by a member of The Dropshipforum, and is an extremely funny ebay listing, posted by a scorned woman with a sense of humour. The link itself will stop working eventually, as it works its way through ebay’s archive, but we have included a screen shot below, as well as a full PDF print of the listing (5 pages of pure comedy).

The story seems to be that she has caught her husband out cheating with another ‘woman’, and has offered the other woman’s knickers, plus an empty condom packet - all apparently taken from her marital bed - up for sale on ebay. Ebay have told her she cannot sell 2nd hand clothing on their site, so she has then amended the listing to a photo of said knickers, rather than the real thing.

You have to read the pdf printout, as the whole story in its gory detail is there for all to see.

Oh how the internet has changed the whole ‘revenge’ thing :D

Ladies - keep an eye on your husband when you go shopping !

This is what can happen if a wife or girlfriend drags her husband or boyfriend along shopping………

This excerpt is from a letter recently sent by Tesco’s Head Office to a customer in Oxford:

Dear Mrs. Murray,

While we thank you for your valued custom and use of the Tesco Loyalty Card, the Manager of our store in Banbury is considering banning you and your family from shopping with us, unless your husband stops his antics.

Below is a list of offences over the past few months, all verified by our surveillance cameras:

  • June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people’s trolleys when they weren’t looking.
  • July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
  • July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to feminine products aisle.
  • July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, “Code 3″ in housewares….. and watched what happened.
  • August 14: Moved a ‘CAUTION - WET FLOOR’ sign to a carpeted area.
  • September 15: Set up a tent in the outdoor clothing department and told shoppers he’d invite them in if they would bring sausages and a Calor gas stove.
  • September 23: When the Deputy Manager asked if she could help him, he began to cry and asked, “Why can’t you people just leave me alone?”
  • October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a mirror, picked his nose, and ate it.
  • November 10: While appearing to be choosing kitchen knives in the Housewares aisle asked an assistant if he knew where the anti-depressants were.
  • December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously, loudly humming the “Mission Impossible” theme.
  • December 6: In the kitchenware aisle, practised the “Madonna look” using different size funnels.
  • December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed, yelled “PICK ME! PICK ME!”
  • December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, assumed the foetal position and screamed “NO! NO! It’s those voices again.”

And last, but not least:

  • December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited a while; then yelled, very loudly, “There is no toilet paper in here.”

Note - we know this is not a real letter, let’s face it can you imagine Tesco’s sending a letter like that in the first place.  This is actually a derivative from an old humorous article doing the rounds of the internet since 1997, going by Snopes.com anyway.

A message from HM the Queen of England to the USA

“To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except Kansas, which she does not fancy).

Your new Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections.

John McCainThis guy is out ! Barak Obama and as for this guy….!

Congress and the Senate will be disbanded.

A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.

To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:

(You should look up ‘revocation’ in the Oxford English Dictionary)

1) Look up aluminium, and check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it.

2) The letter ‘U’ will be reinstated in words such as ‘colour’, ‘favour’, ‘labour’ and ‘neighbour.’ Likewise, you will learn to spell ‘doughnut’ without skipping half the letters, and the suffix ‘-ize’ will be replaced by the suffix ‘-ise’. Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up ‘vocabulary’).

3) Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as ‘like’ and ‘you know’ is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as US English. We will let M*crosoft know on your behalf. The M*crosoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter ‘u’ and the elimination of -ize.

4) July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.

5) You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you’re not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you can’t sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you’re not ready to shoot grouse. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.

6) All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side of the road with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.

7) The Former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it.

8.) You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar.

9) The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. South African beer is also acceptable as they are pound for pound the greatest sporting Nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of the British Commonwealth - see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat’s Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.

10) Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialogue in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one’s ears removed with a cheese grater.

11) You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full Kevlar body Armour like a bunch of nancies). Don’t try Rugby - the South Africans and Kiwis will thrash you, like they regularly thrash us.

12) Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the South Africans first to take the sting out of their deliveries.

13) You must tell us who killed JFK. It’s been driving us mad.

14) An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty’s Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776).

15) Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 pm with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.

God Save the Queen!”

Please take this the way the author meant it - a joke !! If you cannot laugh at yourselves, and maybe at us lot too, then go somewhere else !!

To be fair to our American cousins, we are currently looking for Anti-UK jokes you may have, so feel free to email them to us (details in our About Us page), or simply post them here in the comments. When we have a decent collection - we’ll post them up to redress the balance.

Bandwidth thief caught in the act

The Story:

The original author of a blog post entitled ‘Laptop Security‘ was having a little browse through his web stats and came across a weird ‘referral’ link from a blog. When investigated further, it turns out the ‘referring’ blog in question was directly linking back to a picture on his blog, and this was slightly skewing his web hit stats as a result.

Rather than just change the name of the picture (which he did btw), he decided to amend the linked-to picture so that anyone doing the same would get an amended version of it, plus he would have a little fun with the offending blog’s owner.

The result is quite nice, and I wonder how long before the offending party checks his own stats and finds out about this? :D

A Screenshot:

This screenshot is of the offending site, with the ‘amended’ pic displayed.

Screenshot of offending site

For those of you who may not have a great resolution or maybe cannot see this clearly, here is a link to a larger resolution pic.

The links:

Now, lets see how long the guy takes to notice this amended picture. Please comment below if you see it changed, so we can test this. The original ‘amendment’ was made just under 24 hours ago, so we will say 1am 22/07/2008 GMT.

Many thanks to Mark for sharing this story with us.

‘Driving in Ireland’ Stories

GOOD:

Wexford Garda Traffic cops had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but weren’t getting many. Then they discovered the problem - a 12 year old boy was standing up the road with a hand-painted sign, which read ‘SPEED TRAP AHEAD’. The cops also found that the little guy had an accomplice who was further down the road with a sign reading ‘TIPS’ and a bucket full of money. Very enterprising little fellows :)

BETTER:

A motorist was mailed a photo of his car speeding through an automated checkpoint on the N4. An €80 speeding ticket was included. Being cute, he sent the Gardai a photo of €80. The Garda responded with another mailed photo of a set of handcuffs. Nice sense of humour that policeman :)

BEST:

A young woman was pulled over for speeding in Dublin. A Garda Traffic cop walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book. The young lady immediately says “I bet you are going to sell me a ticket to the Garda Traffic Department Ball?”. The Garda immediately replied, without thinking, “The Garda Traffic Department don’t have Balls…..”. There was a moment of silence, then he closed his book, got back in his patrol car and left.

Dear Alcohol

Dear Alcohol,

First and foremost, let me tell you that I am a huge fan of yours. As my friend, you always seem to be there when needed. the perfect, post-work cocktail, a beer whilst watching the game, and you are even around in the holidays. I even find you hidden inside chocolates at those tedious family gatherings.

Dear Alcohol Pic

Footie Forum Fantasy Football

This all aside, lately I have been concerned about your intentions. Whilst I want to believe that you have my best interests at heart, I feel that your influence has led to some less-than-wise consequences:

  1. Phone Calls - Whilst I agree with you that communication is important, I have to question the suggestion that any conversation of substance or necessity takes place after 2am. Why would you make me phone all those ex’s when I know for a fact that they do not want to hear from me during the day, never mind at that time of night?
  2. Eating - Now, you know I love a good meal, but why do you suggest that I eat a kebab with chilli sauce along with a large Italian meatball sub and some stale chips (washed down with wine, and topped off with crisps and chocolate)? Why do I need this amount and type of food at this time of the night? I am an excellent eater, but you may have gone a little too far this time.
  3. Clumsiness - Unless you are subtly trying to tell me that I need to do more Yoga to improve my balance, I see no reason to hammer this issue home by causing me to fall down. It is completely unnecessary and the black and blue marks that suddenly appear the next morning are beyond me. Similarly it should never take the amount of time it does to get the key into the front door lock.
  4. Hangovers - these need to stop! This is getting rediculous. I know that a little penance for a previous evening’s debauchery may be in order, but the 3pm hangover immobility is totally out of order. My entire day is shot to hell by then. I ask that, if the proper precautions are taken (water, milk before I go out, Vitamins, bread products, aspirin, etc) prior to going out, or to going asleep in my take-away on the kitchen floor, the hangover should be minimal and not detract from my daily activities the following day.

Alcohol, I have enjoyed our friendship for some years now and I would like to ensure that we remain on good terms. You have been the invoker of some great stories, the provocation of much laughter, and the needed companion when I just don’t know what to do with the extra money in my pockets.

In order to continue this friendship, I ask that you carefully review my grievances above, and address them immediately. I will look for an answer no later than Friday at 3pm (pre happy-hour) on your possible solutions, and we can then continue this wonderful friendship.

Thank you

Your biggest fan

ps. I would also like you to consider the following speech impediments:

Things that are difficult to say when drunk:

  • Innovative
  • Preliminary
  • Proliferation
  • Cinnamon

Things that are very difficult to say when drunk:

  • Specificity
  • British Constitution
  • Passive-Aggressive Disorder

Things that are downright impossible to say when drunk:

  • Thanks, but I don’t want to have sex
  • Nope, no more beer for me
  • Sorry, but you are not really my type
  • Good evening officer. Isn’t it lovely out tonight?
  • Oh, I couldn’t possibly, nobody wants to hear me sing.
