Do any of you have any outside interests?

I like playing the washboard and ferreting, and of course of a friday night i take the wheel barrow down to the local ready for the wife to take me home in  later.

This religous belief thing you put me onto sounded a good dodge but i reckon some of your info is wrong. I went to my local temple to sign up but my branch do circumsicion. Stuff that.

my outside interests see me in my vegetable plot growing carrots and such like i'm eating lots more carrots as they say that they help you see in the dark which is just as well as i'm going blind due to the fact that the missus is to knackred for any hanky panky due to her shifts in the munitions factory

Wor Lass - not me honest - wants to know what's the correct ratio, water to Bisto, for fake tanning your legs?  I think it's 3:1, but I'm not sure.

Actually, I've been thinking a lot about God 'n' stuff, and I've come to the conclusion that the Jews have got it right, so I'm going to change religions to Jewish. 

Do you think this is a wise move?

I've found the best time to go collecting is during an air raid, pop down the air raid shelter and the buggers can't hide behind the curtains down there can they.

I was down the pub and a bloke says the yanks have a big bomb coming out. It's called a new clear bomb and works by splitting apples and then mixing them with some secret chemicals and this is very explosive
It interferes with radios so its not perfect, but if it helps beat Gerry then that's good.

Stirling?
Halifax?
Hamden?
Battle?
Mosquito?
Manchester?
Blenheim?
Beaufort?
Beaufighter?
Sunderland?

Nope, doesn't ring any bells - I can't think of any British  WW2 bomber named after a northern city in Lancashire called Ian (with 4 engines and a top speed of 287 mph.)  ;)

I had a really compact round until one of those doodle bugs blew all the bleeding windows out.
Tip, that parachute cord is great for tying shammy mops, it's made from summat called nylon and don't rot.

[We were actually using parachute cord for this in the late 1950's, it was a job for when we were rained off. The boss gave us a bag of shammy bits, a packing needle, and a length of para cord, and it did rot eventually]

Same thing. Short being the manufacturer and Stirling the model. Like Avro Lancaster or Supermarine Spitfire.

I heard it clears your nostrils out good and proper! Bit like those craven-A ciggies - good for a sore throat.
