Yep I'd agree with the positive comments already posted. We've stopped at Broad Park Devon & 5 Acres Chard Somerset earlier this year. Both sets of Wardens were excellent - friendly on arrival & whenever approached for advice etc. Enforced the club rules when necessary with 'not so friendly'...

Is it me? It's got to be a wind-up, hasn't it?

Yes it is NOT an offence just to be in an offside position. Only if the player is interfering with play or seeking to gain advantage is he/she penalised. But bear in mind the interpretation is at the discretion of the officials & it has to be said 'opinions vary quite considerably'

No he would definitely still expect payment, but he may very well apologise for dropping the shoes whilst wrapping them, & explain that he'll be more confident during the next sale!!!!

Alternatively:- In preparation for the World Cup, the "offside rule" explained for women: You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have. The female shopper in front of you has seen...

The Offside Rule Now read carefully. This is really important. If you don't get this you might as well give up now. It not that hard but people get worried about it. You will probably find this easiest if you are sitting at a table. You will need some props. A sugar bowl (empty), vinegar...

Aah That would explain a great deal!!!! Did you fall on your head?

Thanks for the explanation Parky, appreciated, for what it's worth. It's a pity however, that some people can't appreciate a joke for what it is - 'JUST A JOKE'- and not get too serious about the subject. I accept your reason for removal although I don't necessarily agree with it, but I also...

Aah I understand now Parky (mod) thought there'd been a complete 'sense of humour loss' by the mods on this one but I've seen some of the 'looneys' and their scribblings on this sort of topic before so maybe you're right! Now now LB behave yourself, it's not me it's the others this time!!!! HaHa!

I posted a joke 2 days ago with this heading & now find it is missing. Anyone know why please?

"But its poor practise to fit any appliance without the means to isolate for maintenance, or replacement, he shouldn't need to be told." Not only is it poor practice, but Water regulations demand it. This fitter is not what I would call "competent"

Yes I know it's a 'doctored' recording, but as emmo says it is good entertainment don't you think? Let's not be too critical guys & enjoy it for what it is "A fun video" - very clever film editing & I thought the sound effects (although obviously 'dubbed') were quite amusing. Humour me eh?

This is brilliant - do look & make sure you have the sound on for best effect. Don't know how it was fimed but it's superb - especially the ending. http://www.flixxy.com/game-of-survival.htm

I did mine with a 1" cold chisel, tap it in & lever gently. Good luck it just needs a bold attitude!
