Text Maniacs: Cunning Stunt, Spotted Dick, Naked Bus

Lottery Checks and Shopkeeper Honesty

Tony p commented, "Is it me or everyone else who thinks people who don't check their lottery numbers properly get what they deserve – nothing?" Laurence added, "The lady that has claimed the £12 million lottery, surely all tills have CCTV, and a record of date and time. The lady’s ticket was invalidated and the shopkeeper if honest would clarify that the ticket was presented, invalidated by the faulty till. Many times I have presented a ticket with 2 or 3 numbers, refused, I have assumed. I was wrong."

Political Figures and Controversial Comments

Firebird wrote, "Rupert Lowe, Restore leader, what pillocks voted to put the village idiot in the house of commons. Dunblane massacre of 16 children is 16 murders. I suggest you change the name of Restore to recycling di##heads." John Challenger said, "I see that after the murder of Ann Widdecombe those lovely progressives with their rainbow flags and unicorns and their hashtag be kind, gave their usual sickening responses. Disagree by all means but when you take pleasure in the murder of someone who simply has a differing opinion to you then progressive you ain't. When all is said and done they are getting pleasure from the brutal murder of an elderly lady living on her own, who died in pain and terror. I wonder if these freaks can even register that while they are dying their hair blue and putting in their ghastly nose rings." Nastycol added, "Peter Tatchell you vile man! How do you sleep at night? A 78 yr old woman is murdered and you come out with sickening comments!"

Nigel Farage and Misprints

Lawman asked, "Wardy’s wager’s, your description of Nigel Farage’s cunning stunt, is that a mis-print." Tedg commented, "An idiot running this country. A moron running Russia. And then there is Trump. All I can say is god help us."

Influencers and Food Confusion

Hot Dog John Wallsend asked, "Wot on earth is an influencer? Do you have to serve an apprenticeship?" Laurence added, "If toad in hole is confusing to yanks, what would they make of spotted dick."

King Alfred and Parking Apps

Bill Shredder quipped, "With King Alfred’s remains being found in a car park and with all problems with parking apps, shouldn’t we change his name to 'Alfred The Wait...'?"

French Identity and Wimbledon

ANON wrote, "Arthur Fery.. If you are born in France to a French father and mother wouldn't that make you, er French??" BEV KEC said, "A shame Wimbledon is over. But at least it also means that the Clare Balding show is also over. For now!"

Cricket and Christmas Trees

Brian Linford Pontefract commented, "ECB lost 7 out of 9 tests including an OZ ‘boozetrip’. Stokes retired. McCullum now ‘axed’. CEO Richard Gould has said ‘the cricket leadership team element is different to football’. Really? Buck stopped CEO captain coach quite sometime ago." Michael, London asked, "Do you think we’ll be getting a Trafalgar Square Christmas tree from Norway this year after knocking them out of the World Cup?" Carrick Pete added, "Harald Hardrada, Alfred Nobel, Henrik Ibsen, Quisling, do you read me, Norway PM {whoever}? Your boys took a hell of a beating – row that!"

Beckham and Bus Pass

ANON said, "I see Beckham the groveller got from the tennis to the football - did he use his bus pass?"

Joke of the Day
