I'll tell you my best G&D joke if I can come back ....

A vagabond in 18th century England, exhausted and famished, came to a roadside Inn with a sign reading: "George and the Dragon."

He knocked. The Innkeeper's wife stuck her head out a window.

"Could ye spare some victuals?" He asked.

The woman glanced at his shabby, dirty clothes. "No!" she shouted.

"Could I have a pint of ale?"

"No!" she shouted.

"Could I at least sleep in your stable?"

"No!" she shouted again.

The vagabond said, "Might I please...?"

"What now?" the woman screeched, not allowing him to finish.

"D'ye suppose," he asked, "that I might have a word with George?

Gimme a pint and a half of gin, landlord, and make it snappy, if you please! Jeez! what a day I've had; phone(landline. I don't have a mobile), stopped working so spent I don't know how long 'chatting' with a real person on B.T.'s online 'help' thingy, then the bl**dy broadband died. Had two important calls to make, plus, I needed to make arrangements to see a friend this afternoon.  GRRR! ................. :blush: sorry, forgot which thread I was in for a moment.

You've got a landline now? It's good to know that you have finally been dragged (kicking and screaming) into the 20th century.

That reminds me....

Mork, the newspaper that Flat Ron brought in probably needs changing. I think everyone's read it.  It's from 1951.

Haha, very funny ...... NOT! The only reason I got the landline was the food for the carrier pigeons got too expensive. Well, that and the fact the neighbours were complaining about pigeon c**p on their windows.

My grandmother used to work in a George and Dragon pub. Her husband was called George. It's true.
