Ferrari F1 team fires entire pit crew! This announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage of the British government's 'Work for the Dole' scheme and employ some UK Liverpudlian youngsters. The decision to hire them was brought about by a recent documentary on how unemployed youths from Toxteth were able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Ferrari's existing crew could only do it in 8 seconds with millions of pounds worth of high tech equipment. It was thought to be an excellent, bold move by the Ferrari management team as most races are won and lost in the pits, giving Ferrari an advantage over every other team. However, Ferrari got more than they bargained for! At the crew's first practice session, not only was the scouse pit crew able to change all four wheels in under 6 seconds, but within 12 seconds they had re-sprayed, re-badged and sold the car to the Mclaren team for 8 cases of Stella, a bag of weed and some photos of Coulthard's bird in the shower.

Good one Ted *** there's your stars!! Hubby thought it highly amusing as he read it over the shoulder! He wants to know if Yogi Hughes is any relation to Yogi Hughes the ex-Hibs Player ...now manager for Falkirk.F.C?. He says if so 'go on Yogi' (him being a staunch Hibbee) I wrote all that under duress!!! Me being a 'Jambo'. Sui

Ted is back!! Ted, did you hear the one about the enormous fight at a erm 'travellers' camp. 150 end up deceased. They turn up at the Gates of Heaven. St Peter answers the door. 'Im sorry he said, we havent got room for all of you, we can only take 100'. The travellers bargain with him and he says, 'Ill go and check with the boss and see what we can do' and leaves them. God says, 'Tell them we can take 100 today and the rest tomorrow' Peter goes back to speak to them and then returns to God. 'Theyve gone' he says 'What the 150 travellers' 'No' says Peter, 'the Gates'
