Should that be patsinnereds Cliff?

I knew you would get to the bottom of it, Anthony! 

You have got it off Pat.

My dad used to swear by tripe and onions cooked in milk whenever he had a cold, and the smell of cooking tripe and onions is one of my childhood memories from my grandma's house. I couldn't eat it though not even if someone else paid!

Have you seen the sign Mark put up under the thread 'Plants from my garden'? It has been translated kindly and is very funny.  Will give you a morning chuckle.

Referring back to Lesley's Lufthansa flight story: A story is told of an Aer Lingus(Irish carrier) trans-Atlantic flight where the captain announced that one engine had failed and the arrival in New York would be delayed by half an hour. Some time later he reported another engine failure with a consequent delay of one hour arriving in New York. When the third engine failed he explained that arrival time would be two hours late. At this stage one Irish passenger turned to the other and said, "Feck it, If the last engine fails, we'll be up here the whole night."

I have just heard that the pet food giant 'Pedigree Chum' is going into liquidation. They have had to send in the retrievers.

Thanks for Pfeifer Cliff. I remember well - now. I did, in fact have Michelle in my mind but was connecting that with an Australian friend of that name who'd phoned the night before.

Did you know that the Queen was partial to a Chinese Take-Away when staying at her Balmoral holiday home? 

We should come clean on this one.  At first sight, it really looked as though the warrant belonged to the take-away, but it was actually an 'over-spill' from the shop next door (baker? - can't remember) who did not have enough room to display all their royal warrants on their own shop frontage.  Don't think Her Maj would be seen queueing for a take-away!!

Well, I would think she would order a home delivery, Brian, surely?   It could come with the buns.....

Someone from Czech Republic needs to translate this. It is funny but I cant remember exactly how it goes

Here's the translation you asked for:

CAUTION
Property guarded by dog
In case of encounter, lie down and wait for help.
If nobody arrives: good luck.
