I don't know if you could call it a joke, but.....

I *had* to go to work today as the other lads would not have been able to manage the full day without me being there to do certain things.

I could have done with a day off to catch up on much needed sleep after changing the clocks last weekend and some late nights in the week where the youngest daughter was a bit niggly.

I went in and *nobody* turned up. Sods. :roll:

Given who's the 'lady of the House', colour changes might not be too far from the truth
(yes, I know they used to live at number 11, as it was bigger, do they still reside there?)

The Apple took in my mother -im-law, but she didn't read it until last night

There was also the B*W advert concerning 'slow cameras'


One of our Nurses was really caught out :lol:
He's, well shall we just say, nicknamed 'Warburton'. :lol:

The 'Bat-Phone' rang at about 02:00 on Saturday morning. It's the hot-line from Ambulance Control, & informs us of incoming emergencies that might need special preparations (ie; Cardiac Arrest, Paediatric Trauma, RTA's, Helicopter inbound, etc...)

The person on the other end stated that there was a 'multiple' on the A1, & could we have a Nurse (or 2) waiting to be picked up to join the team there.
So 'Warbuton' gets kitted up in hi-viz coat & trousers, knee-pads, helmet, torches, wellingtons, etc....... (& as he's a mentor to a student, he decided to take her)

So he's outside waiting for 'blue-lights' to come & pick him up with all the drunks looking & laughing at him
He's told there's a phone-call for him...


In he troops to see someone on another phone telling him (as he picks up the bat-phone)
"April Fool"


Apparantly 'Teddies Flew'!! :lol:  :lol:
(he ought to have known, as he wouldn't get sent as he's not of a sufficiently high grading/experience to be sent)

Why Warburton???
He think's he's the best thing since sliced bread, not many share his opinion

oh bumflakes!! missed what is generally my favourite day!  :evil:


remember when i was working in a scarpyard at one point, got sent out to look for the following items:

an O/S rear door for a calibra
radiator for a beetle
N/S brake calliper for a robin reliant
a six speed gear box for a corsa... list goes on

regularly sent to look for non existant tyre sizes!

unfortunatley for them it was only the tyre sizes that caught me out!  :lol:

did a couple of good ones when i was in the army.
Sent a new lad out to check the tyre pressures on the tank :shock:
Then sent another new lad up to the sgt maj office with a shovel and note. We told him to wait for the reply as he needed to inspect the shovel. The note said " give me your wallet or i will hit you across the head with this shovel". Oh how we laugh on guard duty that weekend :cry:

a few years back someone tried to send me to the storesroom for a long weight. not being a total idiot, i went past my desk and picked up my book.
went round to the stores, the storesman had been warned what was happening, so he told me to hang on, he'll do it in a minute, and disappears into another room.
so i sit down
get me book out of my pocket, and start reading.
he comes back, sees me reading, and nearly wets himself laughing.

2 hours later, having finished my book, i go back to my desk with everyone in the office thinking i'd been sat like a lemon for 2 hours while the storesman got me a long wait.
someone chirps up: "do you think you waited long enough then, lad?"
so i replied "long enough to finish me book"
they didnt find it funny for some reason. i cant think why
