Having just returned from Istanbul I have decided that the National sport of Turkey is .........
Smoking !!!! (football is second) :) :) :)
Maybe Turkey should equalise the price of fags with UK (as with petrol)
-
I thought it was oil wrestling ;)
-
Tax avoidance?
-
Shuffling ?
-
Selling property on behalf of a very good friend ;)
-
As I mentioned earlier....taxi drivers dangling things over railings?? ;D ;D ;D
-
Good Lord, what have they got that's dangling? :o

That reminds me of the last few weeks - I have been giving my 87 yr old mother and 87 yr old father in law computer lessons (and they are both sending emails now) but they are both using a dongle and as the signal is not great where they both live we have extension cables - you should have seen their faces when I told them to always "dangle your dongle over the side of the chair near the window" to face the sky to get a better signal.
Now if either of them have a problem I answer the phone as "hello internet helpline how can I help you?" and they both regularly say "its not the signal as I am dangling my dongle near the window" - god help them if anyone is visiting when they call :)
Priceless.................. :D
-
Brilliant ;D ;D ;D
-
I'm in absolute hysterics at Ian's story. The angle of dangle is very important!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Bluwise......they dangle things in bags, hoping to entice women who are on their own!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
The best part is that they think they are speaking computer speak and I am not saying anything now - they say things like tab - highlight - new window and dangling their dongles :D
-
So funny!! I've really giggled a this one! I can remember when my son was in the 6th form and he took part in the Millenium Project. He decided to get a group of really quite old people together to try to teach them IT. One day he told a lady to hover her mouse over some part of the screen and she picked it up and actually held it up to the screen! We got quite a lot of mileage of laughter at home out of that one.......but he did end up with his photo in the Tate Modern!! :)
-
Hover your mouse - lol :D
It is brilliant really - whilst I have been on here my father-in-law has emailed me to ask me how we are and to tell me he has been to the doctors and he has gout!
Technology - and even though they could do it much quicker by phone they love the challenge and it gives them something different to do.
-
I think it's great for them, keeping the grey cells ticking over. Let's hope they can keep as good a control over their angle of dangle as they are of their brains. ;D ;D
-
Enough already...
-
Just a good harmless laugh...... :)
-
I feel I am missing out as I have never had a dongle to dangle, and I have never seen a taxi driver dangle anything either ;D
-
I think you are missing out Angela. I've only been to Calis twice and both times I had a dangly dongle.....must keep in touch with my children and grandchildren. Yes, the taxi driver was a bit of a pain. He would take me somewhere, bring me back and then appear maybe half a dozen times a day and hanging his plums, figs or whatever on my railings!! :D
-
well I don't know whether to congratulate or commiserate
-
Haha! :)
-
I too have a dangly dongle...... but that is another story. ;D
-
Please share Marggie! ;D
-
Identifying older women with a bit of cash.
-
Well, Turkey has a very strong chance of winning gold in the World Staring Championships.
-
Only at women though they have never won a medal in other categories :D
-
Dangles,dongles and taxi drivers hanging out their meat & two veg ....... Ooh matron ;)
-
Well KKOB. Ian and badger.....thank you for an absolutely brilliant bit of fun. I've laughed until the tears have rolled down my cheeks!! I do have to ask though, apart from the odd things they do, do they actually really stare?? ;D
-
I have just had another classic with my 87 year old father-in-law.
We spoke on Skype this morning and he went on and on about losing the curtains icon - I tried to work it out but couldn't until he said "you know where the logo is for curtains - oh it's not curtains is it - it's windows"
Honest - you could not make this up - but he was delighted with Skype :)
-
curtains......love it !
-
Staring they have no chance of any Medals, Gold and Silver go the Maldivians, (maldives) and with the Sri Lankans taking the Bronze.
As a young Man sent abroad to cause trouble for his Country I found myself trapped on Addu Attol for a week while the new Runway "hardended" and have never experienced anything like it. In my quarters it was impossibnlt to enjoy a Siesta after a fine Lunch in the Mess for the constant door opening. Every few minutes it would open just a crack and and an eye would appear, staring at you, for ages. Everywhere you went doors opened, just a crack, and you were stared at. Through windows, from behind trees, terribly unnerving! Moving on to Trincomalee I thought thank heavens for that to find they were nearly as bad!
Its a stranege thing, seems to be endemic all over the Indian Ocean and Malaya --- they stare and stare, straight at you. OK I am no oil painting, but come on!
Paranoid === and they are out to get me!

What a load of Balls ;)

Surely talking on mobile is up there in the top 3?? Especially if it involves driving!
-
behind the wheel, phone in one hand, fag in the other, with an assortment of children jumping around!
-
Or goats ;D
-
Or - Riding around on a mo-ped with a large paving stone balanced between daddy's knees and the bike front, with child behind, then wife at the back sitting side saddle, balancing baby on one hip and shopping on the other! - oh forgot to say only daddy wearing helmet!
-
we did see a chap on a moped pulling a little cart with his wife and a couple of goats on board. Made me chuckle!
