The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Scientists have discovered another deadly pathogen they are calling the Peekaboo virus. Doctors are sending anyone with peekaboo straight to ICU.

It is with great sadness that I have to mention the loss of a few further local businesses around our Town. The bra manufacturer has gone bust, the specialist in submersibles has gone under, the manufacturer of food blenders has gone into liquidation, a dog kennel has had to call in the retrievers, the suppliers of paper for origami enthusiasts has folded, the Heinz factory has been canned as they couldn't ketchup with orders, the tarmac laying company has reached the end of the road, the bread company has run out of dough, the clock manufacturer has had to wind down and gone cuckoo, the Chinese has been taken away, the shoe shop has had to put his foot down and given his staff the boot and finally the laundrette has been taken to the cleaners!

My dog only responds to commands spoken in Spanish.

He’s an Espanyol.

A car full of Irish nuns are sitting at a traffic light in downtown Dublin when a bunch of rowdy drunks pull up alongside of them.

"Hey, show us yer teets, ya bloody penguins." shouts one of the drunks. Quite shocked, Mother Superior turns to Sister Mary Immaculata and says, "I don't think they know who we are; show them your cross." Sister Mary Immaculata rolls down her window and shouts, "p155 off, ya fookin' little wankers, before I come over there and rip yer balls off." She then rolls up her window, looks back at Mother Superior quite innocently, and asks,"Did that sound cross enough?"

Smith & Jones live next door to each other. Jones has a goose that lays golden eggs. One day the goose lays an egg in Smith's garden and there's a dispute over ownership of the egg.
"The egg was laid on my land so it is mine", said Smith.
"It is my goose so the egg is mine", said Jones.
This carries on for a few minutes with neither of them giving way. Eventually, Smith says,
"Let's settle this. We'll kick each other in the balls and whoever stays down the longest forfeits the egg."
"You're on", said Jones. Smith goes first and gives Jones a right kick in the balls. Jones ends up on the floor writhing in pain. He eventually recovers.
"My turn now."
"F*ck it, you can keep the egg", said Smith.
