A bloke and his missus were talking about the position they were going to try that night.
“Tonight,” said the bloke, “we’re gonna lie back to back.”
“That wouldn’t be much fun,” said the wife.
“Sure it will,” replied the husband. “I’ve invited Bridget and John over to stay the night!”

Is Winston “Frankenstien”, with Key saying, “no matter what we do, it still lives!”

Stop inmmediately. that talk is giving tradies a bad name. Grouping tradies with lawyers is detestable.
Lawyers belong with polliticians and used car hacks who belong with leftist journo’s. Get the ladder right johnboy.

Talking of Tradies here is a story of a trainee mechanic.

THE GYNECOLOGIST WHO BECAME A MECHANIC

(If you don’t laugh out loud on this one, your “laugher” is broken!)

A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and HMO paperwork, and was burned out. Hoping to try another career where skillful hands would be beneficial, he decided to become a mechanic.

He went to the local technical college, signed up for evening classes, attended diligently, and learned all he could.

When the time of the practical exam approached, the gynecologist prepared carefully for weeks, and completed the exam with tremendous skill.

When the results came back, he was surprised to find that he had obtained a score of 150%. Fearing an error, he called the Instructor, saying, “I don’t want to appear ungrateful for such an outstanding result, but I wonder if there is an error in the grade?”

“The instructor said, “During the exam, you took the engine apart perfectly, which was worth 50% of the total mark. You put the engine back together again perfectly, which is also worth 50% of the mark.” After a pause, the instructor added, “I gave you an extra 50% because you did it all through the muffler, which I’ve never seen done in my entire career”..

Cosmetic Surgery

Two older women were having lunch together, and discussing the merits of cosmetic surgery.

The first woman said, “I need to be honest with you, I’m getting a boob-job.”

The second woman responded, “Oh, that’s nothing. I’m thinking of having my arsehole bleached!”

“Whoa,” replied the first woman. “I just can’t picture your husband as a blonde!”

Anyone else notice that in the final segment of the great TV3 debate when the 3 experts were giving their opinions
the scene behind them was a picture of Plughead and Silent T.
WTF was that all about ?

PaulEB,

sometimes people do get the trust accounting wrong. Doesn’t just happen to lawyers, though; a lot of occupations make use of them and the rules are often broken unintentionally. When you consider that there are over 11,000 lawyers in NZ, and most firms are made of of 4 or less lawyers then we actually do pretty damn well. A good part of it, I think, is that the Law Society is committed to having as high a standard of practise as possible, so I suppose that we get a bit more ‘hands on’ badgering than most other groups. So I think you would be correct to it being more bad management than anything more sinister. Still, even bad management can have severe consequences, hence the existence of the Lawyers Fidelity Fund.

Alex and GPT1 would be in a far better place to comment than myself, however.

Lord Christopher Monckton,

“Lord Monckton’s statement that he is a member of the House of Lords, albeit without the right to sit or vote, is unobjectionable. His claim is not a false or misleading claim. It is legitimate, proportionate, and reasonable. Likewise, Lord Monckton was correct when he wrote to the US Congress that ‘Letters Patent granting Peerages, and consequently membership [of the House of Lords], are the personal gift of the Monarch. Only a specific law can annul a grant. The 1999 Act was a general law.’ He legitimately drew attention to a parliamentary answer by no less a personage than the Leader of the House, making it plain that the Act was a general law and not a particular law that might have had the effect of revoking Letters Patent. We now have the recent authority of the High Court, in the Mereworth case, for Lord Monckton’s assertion that the 1999 Act did not revoke or annul his Letters Patent. Unless and until such revocation takes place, Lord Monckton remains a member of the House of Lords, and he is fully entitled to say so.”
