Joke thread

When Roy Oldham was the gaffer at the council, even though he was not universally liked he ran the Council as a business, my mate used to Chauffeur him around and really rated him as a Businessman even though he headed the Labour contingent. Since he died the muppets on the Council don't have a clue.

Got to be careful what I say, don't want to upset the looney left but allowing too many immigrants in to add to our own scrotes, low level housing, people unwilling to work, many on benefits has brought a big problem to town. However, the Wetherspoons, Bowling Green Pubs that open at 9:30 are always busy and other cheap boozers fill up during the day, there's more ride on buggy's and walking sticks than you'd see at Dignitas, we call them Benefit Sticks, it's a proper shit hole.

Used to be called The Robin Hood which was the last pub my mate's (Phil) Dad was Landlord of back in the early 80's. It was Phil's funeral yesterday, he was 70, we gave him a good send off, he was a very gregarious, successful man, people flew from South Africa, Trinidad (where he lived for a few years) and South America for the funeral, big turn out for someone in their 70's.

Just to keep the post on thread, a colleague who still lives in Trinidad did his eulogy. They were in a bar in New York, a gobby yank approached them and said:

"I don't recognise your accent, where are you from". Phil (born and brought up in Ashton) said "Trinidad". It confused the Yank who answered back "isn't that a former colony of Great Britain?" Phil replied "yep, just like this place"

That was Phil all over, mischievous, intelligent, just fun. He was Best Man at my Wedding, I'll miss him, he passed away from Cardiac Amyloidosis which I'm sure many on here will have never heard off.

RIP big fella, you were a true friend.
