Laughter - the best medicine

Not a gag but a funny moment. BBC breakfast are running a segment with a reporter at the national grid centre. He made a big deal of how rare it was to be able to report from there. 'Even the location is top secret ' he exclaimed. In the top left corner of the screen, throughout the whole report LIVE : WOKINGHAM 😄

Just seen it. What surprised me was how much energy we are importing. It did show that Scotland is 100% clean energy but it hardly uses any energy compared to the rest of the UK. Cannot remember which area it was ( down south somewhere) but its clean energy usage was shocking

I guess, don't know, it is about population density and how close they are to wind farms and other forms of renewables. Lots of empty space in Scotland, Wales, northern England and so easier to put turbines, onshore or offshore nearby. Maybe a bit too much NIMBYism down in key areas of the south as well? Govts need to be a bit more blunt on that front, we need turbines, solar etc, they are going X, Y, Z etc.
 
A woman asks her husband at breakfast time, "Would you like some bacon and eggs, a slice of toast, and maybe some grapefruit juice and coffee?"

He declines. "Thanks for asking, but I'm not hungry right now. It's this Viagra," he says. "It's really taken the edge off my appetite."

At lunchtime, she asked him if he would like something. "How about a bowl of soup, homemade muffins or a cheese sandwich?" He declines. "The Viagra," he says, "Its really spoiled my need for food."

Come dinnertime, she asks if he wants anything to eat. "Would you like a juicy rib eye steak and some scrumptious apple pie? Or maybe a rotisserie chicken or tasty stir fry?" He declines again. "No," he says, "it's got to be the Viagra. I'm still not hungry."

"Well," she says, "Would you mind getting off me? I'm bloody starving."
 
A wife finds a note from her husband on the fridge one morning:

"My dear wife,
You will surely understand that I have certain needs that you, being 57 years old, can no longer satisfy. I am very happy with you and I value you as a good wife. Therefore, after reading this letter, I hope you will not wrongfully interpret the fact that I will be spending the evening with my 19-year-old secretary at the Comfort Inn Hotel. Please don't be upset—I shall be home before midnight."

When the man came home late that night, he found the following note on the dining table:

"My dear husband,
I received your letter and thank you for your honesty about me being 57 years old. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that you are also 57. As you know, I am a math teacher at our local college. I would like to inform you that while you are reading this, I will be at the Hotel Fiesta with Michael, one of my students, who is also the assistant tennis coach. He is young, virile, and, like your secretary, 19 years old. As a successful businessman with an excellent knowledge of mathematics, you will understand that we are in the same situation—though with one small difference: 19 goes into 57 more times than 57 goes into 19. Therefore, I will not be home until sometime tomorrow afternoon.
