ACME Rockets has filed for bankruptcy after losing both Wile E. Coyote's and North Korea's accounts.

Nice one, but some of the younger folk may need that explaining.

Some of the older ones might :-(

I thought the ceremony to scatter Kim Jong Il's ashes was a complete success!

The Loony Tunes cartoon series Roadrunner, in which the fast bird is always under threat from the coyote (Wile. E), often features an outlandish series of explosive devices which would always fail. Did you never go to the ABC Minors when you were a kid?

The ABC minors! You are showing your age now Mike.

No I used to go in the 6d seats at The Grand....................

We used to go to the Bug Hutch, but it's so long ago I can't remember what we watched. I do remember singing when a little ball bounced over the words on the screen though.

I think I've been out with him......................

I haven't been to the cinema for years. In fact, the last time I went to the cinema, there was a man at the front playing a piano.

Craft must have had money to burn. If I was given 6d to go to the pictures it would be in the 3d seats so I had 3d for sweets.

I used to get pocket money from my 4 unmarried uncles :-)

[askyourgran]

Lucky you Craft. I had to clean all the family's shoes for 1/- and had to make it last all week. Later when I was older I went dancing on Friday or Saturday night, it was a poor weekend if I didn't get a date for the pictures on Sunday nights. There was only one skinny tightwad who met me inside, and I ended up marrying him!

[mike11111]

Just twigged the significance of having been met inside. At least you knew he wasn't going to be a spendthrift.

[craft1948]

lol ayg that should have told you everything. If I was asked to meet a lad inside I never used to bother turning up.

I had 3d which was 2d for the tupenny rush on Saturday afternoons, a ha'penny for a small bar of chocolate and a ha'penny for a half a pomegranite and a pin to get the seeds out. Happy days. There was always a serial to make you come back the following week. Why am I writing this in Jokes for heavens sake?

Aye oop. It was always raining on Denbigh Moor and when it was raining t'was fine but there was yon precipitation in t'air. An me ooncle was me father and I had to work 25 hours a day fer nowt.....

As to Korea, their jobs were overblown anyway. I guess there will be a lot of Kim-etic energy spent in Pyongyang in the days to come. I fear an ill wind continues to blow.
