I slipped on the keyboard as my mind wandered into the insanity room! Well, at least I’m laughing, and thank you for that.... I will go and eat...

You mean Reg? Glad you enjoyed the predictions, even if they are a load of nonsense! Sorry I've made you hungry! I tend to get a bit peckish myself around this time of night and often have to partake of a little snack

Why am I assuming there is alcohol in those lovely libations?

Cheers! And, HUGS!!

Good evening, Foxy, I hope all has gone well for you today, despite the awful weather. I managed a short bike ride today despite the weather and will be out on it again tomorrow.

Good evening, Foxy, I hope you have had a great day despite the weather and work. I hope I’m not betraying a confidence by saying that Gary is very unwell today, and he’ll be seeing various doctors next week.
I’m ok, and managed a bike and train ride today.

Good evening, Rob I'm very sad to hear that Gary is unwell. Thank you for letting me know. I'll be thinking about him and hoping for good news.
Work has been crazy busy this weekend, yet again not helped by being short-staffed The company must be one of the stingiest in the country, they really do like to avoid spending money if they can
But at least my clever red men achieved another win Once again though it was touch and go. They really don't like doing things the easy way!

Good evening, Gatorguy Cute pictures

Hello to Chaz , cousin EJ and dear Ali Cat

British humour.....

This one's for Rob

 

[Hotrich]

I think I’ve just wet myself, Foxy! But thank you for those funnies, especially that Yorkshire one - things there even I was not aware of!

[Alistair]

Don't get this one. Is it some secret British humor?

 

[redfox70]

It refers to a notorious robbery in 1963, The Great Train Robbery and one of the perpetrators of the crime:

The Great Train Robbery was the robbery of £2.6 million from a Royal Mail train heading from Glasgow to London on the West Coast Main Line in the early hours of 8 August 1963

the robbers escaped with over £2.6 million (equivalent to £53.5 million today)

Ronald Arthur Biggs (Ronnie Biggs) was one of the men who planned and carried out the Great Train Robbery of 1963. He subsequently became notorious for his escape from prison in 1965, living as a fugitive for 36 years, and for his various publicity stunts while in exile.

^ I think Al meant to ask, "What is a 'grass'?" Is there more to the punch line, or is that it? And, if that's it, why is it funny?

 

[Alistair]

^ yeah what Chaz said.

 

[Alistair]

The use of “grass” as British slang for a police informer dates back to the 1930s, and is apparently a short form of the slang term “grasshopper,” meaning the same thing. ... “Snitch” meaning “informer” is indeed an older word, dating back to the late 18th century

Ok. Now I understand
