Aging Aunt Mildred was a 93-year-old woman who was particularly despondent over the recent death of her husband. She decided that she would just kill herself and join him in death. Thinking that it would be best to get it over with quickly, she took out his old Army pistol and made the decision to shoot herself in the heart, since it was badly broken in the first place. Not wanting to miss the vital organ and become a vegetable and a burden to someone, she called her doctor's office to inquire as to just exactly where the heart would be on a woman. The doctor said, 'Your heart would be just below your left breast'. Later that night......... Mildred was admitted to the hospital with a gunshot wound to her knee.

Gordon Brown called Alistair Darling into his office one day & said, 'Alistair, I have a great idea! We are going to go all out to win back Middle England ..' 'Good idea PM, how will we go about it?' said Darling.' 'Well' said Brown 'we'll get ourselves two of those long Barbour coats, some proper wellies, a stick & a flat cap, oh & a Labrador. Then we'll really look the part. We'll go to a nice old country pub, in Much Something or other, & we'll show we really enjoy the countryside, ........ Oh & remember not to mention the Hunting with Dogs Act' 'Right PM' said Darling. So a few days later, all kitted out & with the requisite Labrador at heel, they set off from London . Eventually they arrived at just the place they were looking for & found a lovely country pub &, with the dog, went in & up to the bar. 'Good evening Landlord, two pints of you best ale, from the wood please' said Brown. 'Good evening Prime Minister' said the landlord, 'two pints of best it is, coming up' Brown & Darling stood leaning on the bar contemplating new taxes, nodding now & again to those who came in for a drink, whilst the dog lay quietly at their feet. As they drank their beer they chatted about how heart-rending it was that pensioners were being imprisoned for not paying the council tax. All of a sudden, the door from the adjacent bar opened & in came a grizzled old shepherd, complete with crook. He walked up to the Labrador lifted its tail & looked underneath, shrugged his shoulders & walked back to the other bar. A few moments later in came a wizened farmer who followed the same procedure. To the bewilderment of Brown & Darling people of all ages & gender followed suit over the next hour. Eventually, unable to stand it any longer, Darling called the landlord over. 'Tell me' said Darling, 'Why did all those people come in & look under the dog's tail like that? Is it an old Custom? 'Good Lord no,' said the landlord. 'It's just that someone has told them that there was a Labrador in this bar with two arseholes!!

gotta post this Have you heard about the man who owned a parrot that swore like a sailor? This parrot was so terrible, it could swear for five minutes straight without repeating itself. One day the man finally got tired of this parrot's horrible speech, and decided to do something about it. He grabbed the parrot by the throat, shaked it really hard, and yelled, "QUIT IT!" every time the parrot said something ungodly. But this just made the parrot mad, and it swore more than ever. Next the man tried locking the bird in a kitchen cabinet. This really aggravated the parrot, and it clawed and scratched furiously until the man finally let him out (upon which the bird released it's fury in a torrent of language so horrible it could never be repeated). At that point, the man was so frustrated that he threw the parrot into the freezer. For the first few seconds the parrot made a terrible amount of noise in protest to this treatment, kicking, clawing, and thrashing about. But after a few moments it suddenly went very quiet. As the silence grew longer the man started to think that the parrot may be hurt. After a couple minutes of silence, he became so worried that he opened up the freezer door. The parrot calmly climbed onto the man's outstretched arm and said, "Awfully sorry about the trouble I gave you. I'll do my best to improve my vocabulary from now on." Of course, the man was astounded. He could not understand the transformation that had come over his unruly parrot. Then the parrot asked, "By the way, what did the chicken do?"

typical innit british success frowned on , last year half caste winning everything that was marvelous now a white brit doing well he is being put down by some people, the amount of moaners about schumacher winning everything got me as well how many other drivers were capable of carrying on driving in the wet on dry/intermediate tyres and stay on the track and in front, IMHO Schumacher is the best living F1 driver possibly the best ever, he very likely would have had more of a challenge on his hands has Senna lived longer though merv

anything from a more modern system, should do it merv

as i think the 650,s brake system was the same anyhow you will not find much improvement, first step would be too strip the caliper and give it a good clean make sure all the pivots etc are free, and the piston is not rusted/seized fit new seals as well if the piston is rusty and pitted stainless ones are available, When Chris Pearson did the 120 mph RD250E (that uses same system) for CMM he used the standard caliper but a modern master cylinder and said braking was much improved on it merv
