Hey, don't stop there! it sounds even more eye watering than the rest

 

Ok then - how about this?
There was this one time when I had two batteries in my pocket...

 

*Whoosh*

And you don't think others do?

I don't buy this "modern parents are crap" thing. Trying to parent
adequately (and failing) is the hardest thing I do.

 

Chap I used to work with (ex RAF) had spent some years (in the mid 70s
IIRC) working as an ex-pat in some African country with a lot of copper
mines.

The locals would try to steal the wire from the electricity distribution
grid; it was quite common to find them hanging from the posts fried to a
crisp apparently.

His wife had a car accident with the police when pissed (she, not the
police...) Mike's response on getting to the police station was telling
them when he got her home he would be giving her a sound thrashing, this
seemed to satisfy the police who then dropped all charges... Sounded
like he had a whale of a time out there (Botswana? Can't remember).

 

Bwahahahahahaha. That's not funny ;-)

 

Hmm, can't think of any meself. Just the usual skinned knuckles, also
screwdriver in hand (but just the tip), oh and falling 5 metres off an oil
rig into the dry dock and getting a *massive* body length bruise...

 

Zambia, iirc, had the largest copper industry.

Yeah, that rings a bell.

When they got independence aparently they put up a statue showing a
Zambian (?) breaking shackles that were on his wrists; I guess symbolic
of breaking the shackles of oppresion.

One of the old white chaps apparently graffitied the statue's plinth
with the legend "A munt can break anything"

Note: "munt" was the pejorative term for the local population used by
the white chaps who had been in charge.

I'm not saying I approve of the graffiti, because I don't. I do,
however find it amusing, in a similar way to the mdification of
Churchill's statue during some pro-dole, anti-work riot or other.

 

Do you know what you're rofling at?
