Dave's Bad Joke Emporium

I enjoy bad jokes. Even tell them, making the badness of the joke, the joke itself. and that is where Dave's Bad Joke Emporium came from.

I sent one into Clare Ashford on the BBC Radio Shropshire breakfast show. They were talking about Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) being visible in North Yorkshire. The joke was 

"I went to Iceland the other day. I could not see the Northern Lights, all I could see was frozen food :D" 

Right have you all finished groaning about how bad it is, good. I shall continue. 

The reply from Clare was, "Dave, seriously, have a word with yourself, go outside and have a word with yourself"  
I would of, but I was travelling at 50 mph and I don't think the people with me would of liked the driver jumping from the vehicle. hehe. 

 Anyway, like they said later in the show. I was keeping up Bad Joke Quoter as the other presenter Eric Smith (usual bad joke teller for show) is on Holiday. 

So sometime, they will be an escapee of the emporium on here, but don't worry, you may be warned. 

Till next time Dear Reader, Stay Safe.

Old airfield and a Camper van

Well here is another View from the cab.

I took some media students to film at a local VW restorers, wrigleys aircooled. I got a call asking to go back early to transport them to another place.  An old airfield just down the road from the restorers, to do filming of a restored camper

Its a nice restoration, it looks good. but then it come from the only Landrover Defender fan in a family of VW fans.

It just goes to show, There is never a normal day in my job. That's half the fun. 

Till next time Dear Reader, Stay Safe.

Ok, idea time :D

Hi all

You know that after put up the photo of dilbert up and said i had an idea. well here it is

View from the Cab

As part of my job I drive around. some times I take a photo or two. When I do I will post it here, some time say where it is and sometimes I will let you guess where it is.

OK, first one is from a trip before Christmas to West Midland Safari Park

Oh, and don't worry that I am driving around taking these, I only do it when park or get some that with me to take them if we are on the move.

Hope you find them fun.

Till next time Dear Reader, Stay Safe.

The End Of An Era

I have just upload and scheduled my last posting on my blog leukemic step child.

There is a tear in my eye as scheduling completed, I started it on the 12th of April 2010.  and it feel like it just said goodbye to a dear friend that I talked to weekly for just over 21 months, about my darkest times.

And the goodbye to the loyal band of what i call "Dear Readers" as they are dear to me, that follow my 36,131 words.

I have to go Dear Reader, before i burst into a full blown sobbing fit.

Till next time, Stay Safe.

Xmas, mics and domes.

Well Christmas has been and gone. Then new year eve, where people try to get to a new percentage level of alcohol to body mass.

Well my mind has been ticking away. thinking of many thing.

After trying to understand a muttering till operator, he get on the PA Mic and say in a clear voice "can we have another till operator to the tills please." then carry on muttering at me. making me wonder, do shops have a box fitted to their PA microphones that turn the most incomprehensible speaker into the clearly spoken voice you hear in the shop. 


Well doctor who was good. I did have a feeling that during the scenes in the dome escape craft, that a bald bloke was going to appear and shout " WILL YOU START THE FANS, PLEASE" the done craft did have a very good likeness to the crystal dome from the show of the same name. 

oh and now I said that I fancy watching a bit of the crystal maze. right I am off to watch it on challenge TV, 


So Till next time. keep safe :D
