1. Every bloke has at some stage while taking a pee,

flushed half way through and then raced against the flush.

2. It's impossible to look cool whilst picking up a Frisbee.

3. Driving through a tunnel makes you feel excited.

4. Old ladies can eat more than you think.

5. You can't respect a man who carries a dog.

6. Despite constant warning, you have never met anybody who has had their arm broken by a swan.

7. You've turned into your dad the day you put aside a thin piece of wood specifically to stir paint with.

8. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

9. I was doing some decorating, so I got out my step-ladder. I don't get on with my real ladder.

10. If we aren't supposed to eat animals, then why are they made out of meat?

11. Why does mineral water that has trickled through mountains for centuries have a "use by" date?

There was an elderly couple who in their old age noticed that they were getting a lot more forgetful, so they decided to go to the doctor. The doctor told them that they should start writing things down so they don't forget. They went home and the old lady told her husband to get her a bowl of ice cream.

"You might want to write it down," she said. The husband said, "No, I can

remember that you want a bowl of ice cream." She then told her husband she wanted a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream. "Write it down," she told him, and again he said, "No, no, I can remember:

you want a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream." Then the old lady said she wants a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream and a cherry on top.

"Write it down," she told her husband and again he said,

"No, I got it. You want a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream and a cherry on top." So he goes to get the ice cream and spends an unusually long time in the kitchen, over 30 minutes. He comes out to his wife and hands her a plate of eggs and bacon. The old wife stares at the plate for a moment, then looks at her husband and asks, "Where's the toast?"

1. Triangular sandwiches taste better than square ones.

2. At the end of every party there is always a girl crying.

3. One of the most awkward things that can happen in a pub is when your pint-to-toilet cycle gets synchronised with a complete stranger.

4. Sharpening a pencil with a knife makes you feel really manly.

5. You're never quite sure whether it's against the law or not to have a fire in your back garden.

6. Nobody ever dares make cup-a-soup in a bowl.

7. You never know where to look when eating a banana.

8. You always feel a bit scared when stroking horses.

9. The smaller the monkey the more it looks like it would kill you at the first given opportunity."

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services.

Branch Manager Paul Aspin feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee.

But it’s not just about saving people money, although

that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle.

I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’

Cloudy2Clear service the Blackburn, Preston and Ribble Valley areas DQG 3DXO LV ÀQGLQJ WKDW KLV

approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done

work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Paul a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!
