THE BANK OF ENGLAND ANNOUNCED

 

The Bank of England Announced

In an article they wrote

Jane Austen Will appear

On the new ten-pound note

 

I don’t like to put a damper

On the decision but you see

This decision means that

She will be the “Tenner” Lady

MY WIFE IS A JAILER

 

My wife is a jailer

And in a fit of passion

I made advances

To get my marital ration

 

In the ensuing melee

I became entangled

In her bunch of keys

As they dangled

 

I begged for assistance

But she just scoffed

And in the end

She just fobbed me off

I LOST MY THESAURUS TODAY

 

I lost my thesaurus today

It was after the exam

I can’t find the words to describe

How upset I am

THIS MORNING’S BREAKFAST NEWS

 

This morning’s Breakfast News

Live from Downing Street

On the rolling news that never stops

I have learned in the last few minutes

That the Prime Minister had toast

While Nick Clegg had coca pops

MY DAD HAD TO HAVE HIS CAT PUT DOWN

 

My Dad had to have his cat put down

It was all terribly sad

He didn’t find that the lethal injection

Was all that bad

But what the vet said afterwards

Really upset my Dad

“That’s the first of the injections

Out of the way Mr Plaid

Only another eight to go”

Which was when Pop went mad

I WAS ALWAYS TOLD THAT FARMING

 

I was always told that Farming

Was a terribly tough way of life

Well, I haven’t found that to be the case

And nor has Audrey my wife

We were told by almost everyone

We were making a big mistake

But we chose to be Wind Farmers

And honestly, it’s a piece of cake

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – CAREFREE (1938)

 

“Carefree” is a Musical Romantic Comedy, Written by Allan Scott, Ernest Pagano. Dudley Nichols, Hagar Wilde, Marian Ainslee, and Guy Endore and Directed by Mark Sandrich.

Stephen Arden (Ralph Bellamy) has a problem in the relationship with his fiancée, Amanda (Ginger Rogers), so he turns to his friend Dr. Tony Flagg (Fred Astaire), a psychiatrist, for help to understand why she keeps breaking off the engagement.

After some minor misunderstandings, she falls in love with Tony, so he tries to use hypnosis to strengthen her feelings for Steven, however things get complicated when he realises that he’s in love with her.

It’s an interesting and amusing vehicle in which Ginger and Fred acquit themselves ably but are supported by a first-rate group of players headed by old friends like eager Jack Carson and irascible Clarence Kolb plus charming comedian Luella Gear.
