Hey, you've got all the words to Sandra Dee! I'm listening to it now
I think what it does is to draw together all the threads that the forumite is watching, so that they don't have to search all ove for them. I've clicked "Watch this Topic" for each of the "English" threads, and now when I want to go and see if there's been anything new I just click on "Your Watches" (near the top right) and it puts up a little box underneath with links to each of the relevant threads. Saves me searching round all the forums.
I think it's possible to set them for email notification too, but I've not done that as I remember what chaos it caused here with the UK forum (a billion messages overnight :-)
I see that it's now 22 hours since anyone over there replied to my hilarious (well, I think so) joke :-) Only 2 people replied... Didn't we have a couple of enormously long joke threads here?
Piglet, sorry I've been checking out all the threads, not as quickly as you. I laughed out lous when I read your joke yesterday, it's very funny. Got any more?
My others aren't as funny as that one However, hang on and I'll dig a couple out
Right, just been rifling through the files. I like this one :-) ======= A bloke starts his new job at the zoo and is given three tasks. The first is to clear the exotic fish pool of weeds. He starts on this when suddenly a huge fish leaps out and bites him. He is not going to let a fish have a go so he beats the offending fish to death with a spade.
Realising that his boss is not going to be best pleased, he tries to find a way to hide the dead fish. He hits on the brilliant idea of giving the fish to the lions as lions will eat anything. So he throws the fish into the lion's cage, and sure enough it'd devoured by the lions.
He then moves on to his second job, which is to clear out the monkey house. He goes in and a couple of chimps start throwing coconuts at him. Un-amused he swipes at the chimps with his spade, killing them instantly.
He's really worried now, so what does he do? He feeds the chimps to the lions, because lions eat anything. He hurls them into the lion's cage.
Anyway, he moves on to his last job, which is to collect honey from South American bees. He starts on this and quickly gets attacked by the bees. Alarmed, he grabs his spade and smashes the bees as hard as he can, squashing them to death. By this point he is not too worried about the death of bees as He knows what to do by now. He throws them into the lion's cage, because lions eat anything.
Later that day a new lion arrives at the zoo. It wanders up to another lion and says "What's the food like in here?" The other lion says:
wait for it....
"Absolutely brilliant, today we had Fish 'n Chimps with Mushy Bees"
The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all the background checks, interviews, and testing were done, there were three finalists... two men and a woman.
For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow your instructions, no matter what the circumstances. Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill Her!!!" The man said, "You can't be serious. I could never shoot my wife." The agent said, "Then you're not the right man for this job. Take your wife and go home."
The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. Then the man came out with tears in his eyes. "I tried, but I can't kill my wife." The agent said, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home."
Finally, it was the woman's turn. She was given the same instructions, to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one shot after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow. "This gun is loaded with blanks", she said. "I had to beat him to death with the chair."
In this life I'm a woman. In my next life, I'd like to come back as a bear. When you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that. Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that, too. When you're a girl bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you're sleeping and wake to partially grown, cute cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that. If you're a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too. I could deal with that. If you're a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling. He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat. Yup...gonna be a bear.
Good luck with your race. What's the weather or running condition? I noticed England made the news with the snowfall. I am running this morning, but perfect weather. Mid-thirties, clear and calm. Have a nice weekend. Run strong! Have fun!
