Lost bus driver

Sounds like a typical public servent to me...
this reminds me of our mass transit service here in South Florida.

Bus driver: 'Does anyone know the way?'

Don't laugh too hard as this sounds too close for comfort

Bus passengers were shocked to be asked if any of them knew the way because the driver hadn't a clue.

They laughed when a supervisor asked if any of the 30 on board could give directions, reports the Mirror.

But then he added: "It will really help you as your driver is Polish, doesn't speak much English and he doesn't know the route."

no pollack jokes please

Travel firm Fraser Eagle was running a coach replacement service for Virgin Trains between Birmingham and Rugby because of track maintenance.

One woman volunteered to sit by the driver and give him directions throughout the 20-mile journey.

Passengers gave her a round of applause when the bus arrived in time for them to make their rail connections.

Stephen Beech, 38, said: "It was lucky there were a couple of local people on the bus and one of them gave the driver directions as he clearly didn't have a clue."

A Virgin Trains spokesman said: "They are investigating. We would expect the driver to know the route he is supposed to drive."

There is a God...

Teen muggers pick the wrong victim

Three teenage thugs ended up in hospital after trying to steal a junior kick-boxing and karate champion's mobile telephone.

The trio, all aged 17, cornered Pauli Borchardt, also 17, as he made his way home from a friend's house in Hamburg, Germany.

After refusing to hand over his mobile telephone, which was being using at the time to call his brother, the thug trio tried to take it by force. Big mistake...

But the amateur kick-boxing and karate champ floored all three of them before making it to his home on the same street.

One of the teen thugs was kept in hospital after a passer-by spotted them on the ground and called an ambulance for help.

The other two teen thugs was released after being treated for cuts and bruises.

Police, who initially went to arrest Borchardt after the trio lied and told the police that a youth gang being led by the 17-year-old had attacked them with baseball bats, were soon put straight and are now investigating the three on suspicion of attempted robbery.

See there is a God....

multiculturalism

multiculturalism - would you believe 71 languages spoken at a school?

A Secondary school in London has pupils that speak in 71 different languages.



Bob's comment: Reminds me of the tower of Babel story, is this a nightmare or what?

Southfields Community College in Wandsworth UK, has pupils from around the world and speak no English.

The school has 1,300 UK and foreign pupils aged 11-18 - and 550 of these arrived in Britain speaking no English.

The pupils were first given a crash course in English before being introduced into mainstream classes,

Among the languages spoken are Arabic, Kurdish, Farsi (from Afghanistan) Kazak (Kazakhstan), Croatian, Zulu (South Africa), Swahili (Kenya) and Krio (Sierra Leone).

According to The Sun Headteacher Jacqueline Valin said: We've had an increase in the number of pupils from abroad what a racial mix.

contented cows

Five farmers from Romania are being investigated after police discovered they were feeding their cows pot or weed or formally called cannabis.

The farmers from Romanesti, told the police officers the weed helped the cows produce more milk.

The farmers, aged between 57 and 82, claim they didn't know they were doing something illegal by growing the common weed in their fields.

one farmer "We grew it because the cows seemed to like it, and happy cows give more milk."

ok - contented cows

Morgan


This is my baby Morgan.
Morgan is short for Morgana - Found in Morgan County Tennessee.
Somebody needs a bath and a grooming.

Morgan is a papillion mix- a European breed of dog.
They often think that they are birds or cats...they jump and sometimes break their legs.
This breed likes cats and hate large dogs.
the cats do not always return the feelings.

They are very friendly and love people and cute and way too smart for their own good.

Humor:

MY FRIEND Marcus was married in a very small church, and I was surprised to see, for the very first time, a woman minister.

When I got to the house that night, my roommate asked about the wedding event.

"It was beautiful," I said, "but quite unusual - a woman married him." She looked at me strangely, replying, "And just what, may I ask, did you expect?"
