Entertainment & Music - 22 December 2006

A teacher gave her class of 11-year-olds an assignment: to get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it. The next day the kids came back, and one by one began to tell their stories.

A girl called Jill said, "My father's a farmer and we have a lot of egg-laying hens. Once we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the front seat of the car, when we hit a big bump in the road and all the eggs got broken. "What's the moral of that story?" asked the teacher. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket!" "Very good," said the teacher. Next, little Sarah raised her hand and said, "Our family are farmers too. But we raise chickens for the meat market. One day we had a dozen eggs, but when they hatched we only got ten live chicks. The moral to this story is, 'Don't count your chickens before they're hatched.'"

"That was a fine story, Sarah," said the teacher. “Michael, do you have a story to share?" "Yes,” replied Michael.” My daddy told me this story about my Aunty Sharon. Aunty Sharon was a flight engineer on a plane in the Gulf War, and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a bottle of whisky, a machine gun and a machete. She drank the whisky on the way down so it wouldn't spill when she landed, then she landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops. She killed 70 of them with the machine gun, then ran out of bullets. She killed 20 more with the machete, then the blade broke. She killed the last 10 with her bare hands." "Good heavens," said the horrified teacher. "What kind of moral message did your daddy tell you that horrible story had?" Michael replied: "Stay the heck away from Aunty Sharon when she's been drinking."

Is it right for the BBC to invite viewers to phone in to give their views or vote on shows?

Does the BBC use advertising or not or does BT own a major stake in the corparation, nearly every programme has a phone in vote or No to contact them on. I thought BT was now a private company so is not voting on progs such as "Strictly Come Dancing" making profit for a private company and againgst the BBC charter of No advertisising. Also is there somewhere I can find out how much BT make from such programmes?

What do you think??

Experts are saying that in the year 2040, there won't be winter anymore because of Global Warming.

That means, no icy roads, no shoveling snow, and no huge heating bills.

I say we just forget Christmas, we've given our children a wonderful gift already....

What was your most memorable Christmas?

For me, it was 1998. I was single, had no one special in my life, and I had come down with the flu. Also, most of my friends had moved away. I was sick and lonely and had reached the conclusion that this Christmas was gonna suck big time.
Christmas morning I got up and I thought I heard someone outside. I went to the door and looked, but there was no one there. There was, however, a box. I brought it inside and opened it. Inside there was homemade cookies, chicken soup, a deck of Uno, and a note. The note read.."I heard you were sick and could use some cheering up", signed "Santa". I was overcome with emotion. Someone might as well have bought me the Hope diamond because I couldnt feel more joyous. But who WAS this Santa? I found out several days later that my next door neighbor had told my landlord I was alone and sick, and the two of them had put together this Christmas "care" package for me. It gave me back something I had lost.....the true spirit of Christmas.

I think I get it now! (About the delusion)...?

People don't receive my thoughts, but I'm being watched and recorded, right?

I'm on camera, yet not telepathically received, right? Or what?
