The priest in a small Irish village loved the c#ck and ten hens he kept in the hen house behind the church.
But one Saturday night the c#ck went missing! The priest knew that c#ck fights happened in the village so he started to question his parishioners in church the next morning.
During Mass, he asked the congregation, “Has anybody got a c#ck?”
All the men stood up.
“No, no,” he said, “that wasn’t what I meant. Has anybody seen a c#ck?”
All the women stood up.
“No, no,” he said, “that wasn’t what I meant. Has anybody seen a c#ck that doesn’t belong to them?”
Half the women stood up.
“No, no,” he said, “that wasn’t what I meant. Has anybody seen MY c#ck?”
All the nuns, three altar boys, two priests and a goat stood up.
A guy goes to the Post Office to apply for a job.
The interviewer asks him, “Have you been in the service?”
“Yes,” he says. “I was in Korea for three years”
The interviewer says, “That will give you extra points toward employment” and then asks, “Are you disabled in any way?”
The guy says, “Yes 100%…a mortar round exploded near me and blew my testicles off.”
The interviewer tells the guy, “O.K. I can hire you right now.
The hours are from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. You can start tomorrow.
Come in at 10:00A.M.”
The guy is puzzled and says, “If the hours are from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00P.M. then why do you want me to come in at 10:00 A.M.”
“This is a government job” the interviewer says, “For the first two hours we sit around scratching our balls…….no point in you coming in for that”

The only Chippie photo that I have on the PC !!! The others will have to be scanned.
Last year I put together a calendar using various people from work. All the proceeds raised went to Great Ormond Street Hospital Appeal. The calendar raised £1,800 in profits. In total the company donated £59,000. These two lovely ladies are the receptionists at my office; they were fun to take, but a nightmare to direct. Who would be a fashion photographer??????
The Cat’s out of the bag, the present Mrs EN830 has sussed that maybe there was little intention of getting to the airport in time for the flight. Bugger, I thought I was convincing !!!!!
an evening filled with humour and banter, as were all the occasions that Steve was present.
Mike I can assure you last nights visit was no different, in Steve’s honour we felt compelled to carry on the humour and banter at a certain Colonials expense.
Just managed to suss out the internet in the hotel. Today has been a sad and very hard day, but one that was made easier by being with so many from the forum who made it to the service and the village hall afterwards. It was the mark of the occasion that so many did, like one person remarked, if this is what being a part of this “group” means, I am damn proud to say that I am a member.
The service was very moving, all credit to Melv who did a splendid job with the reading, he did the forum proud. Also I will never listen to Elgars Nimrod again, without thinking about Steve.
We gave him the send off Steve diserved at the Red Lion under the guidance of Mr Patterson, I hope that you return to the forum more often Patty, it’s not the same without you and next time you’re in Hong Kong, slap that tailor for us !!!!
The end of an emotional day, all I have to do is get back to Jersey.
To Steve Y, see ya soon mate.
Looking through the archives I found this post that was well worth reading:

Thanks Robbo, just leaving for the airport on what is going to be a very very hard day, read this and guess what, 200lbs of blubber blubbering.
Unfortunately I won’t be at the display, but I would like to echo Kevs remarks and thank the Shuttleworth collection for their thoughtfulness.
Did he never smile ??????
What about the Globemasters in the back ground as well, superb shots, keep them coming.
I’ll get me coat….
Yes please do.
I’ll get me coat….
Yes please do.
Note who has the biggest grin in both of them.
I’m sure the first one was taken after Merlins Over Malta in May last year, note the sandals I’m wearing, which were/are the subject of much merriment.
Steve wasn’t grinning in the first one, it was a yelp, Someone had pinched his bum just as the shutter went click. For some reason Snapper had moved to the other end of the group, he claimed someone had also grabbed his bum, I think that it was LearningSlowly, but sadly can’t prove it !!!!
You sending me the photo Ken, proved to the present Mrs EN830 that she had met Steve, even if it was ever so briefly.
Over the past few weeks, also as recently as this weekend, this group of people who meet up every so often to pursue a mutual interest, has been referred to as a clique. Well looking at these two photos, and some of the others that have been posted as a result of the tragic events of last weekend. I’m proud to be part of this clique. A clique that knows no bounderies and stretches to many corners of the world.
However I am saddened by the loss of a great clique member, whose smile, in every photograph posted to date on this thread, says it all.
Wednesday will for many of us, be closure, on a terrible week. We will remember Steve and at some point in the not too distant future honour him. For me the one legacy he will leave us is that infectious smile. I’m sure that whenever the ever-increasing number of members of the ‘Clique’ meet, Steve’s name will be mentioned, bad jokes told and a glass of ale held up in his memory.
I hope DHFan doesn’t mind me posting this photo, I think it sums up in someway what JDK has said, Steve was an integral part of our extended community and will be greatly missed.
