I have woodchips for sale. I get a message form a woman: can we agree on €x for 3 m3 for bringing it here? Where €x is less then my price for 3 m3 and she is 25 km ish away. At least she has a sense of humour I suppose

This very good boy on the plane. Took ( both blind) mom and dad up the steps no bother! We had to step over a waggy tail in the aisle to exit. Made my day

A father passing by his son's bedroom
Noticed the room unusually clean and saw an envelope propped up prominently on the pillow. It was addressed, 'Dad'. With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter, with trembling hands.
Dear, Dad. It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend, because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mum and you.
I've been finding real passion with Stacy. She is so nice, but I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing's, tattoos, her tight Motorcycle clothes, and because she is so much older than I am.
But it's not only the passion, Dad. She's pregnant. Stacy said that we will be very happy. She owns a trailer in the woods, and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children.
Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that mari*juana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people in the commune for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want.
In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so that Stacy can get better. She sure deserves it!
Don't worry Dad, I'm 15, and I know how to take care of myself. Someday, I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your many grandchildren.
Love, your son, Josh
P.S . Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Jason's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the school report that's on the kitchen table. Call when it is safe for me to come home

The accents of the english speaking folk. Powerharrow becomes "par har".
Dutch is likely worse for accents though so hey.

Had a small inheritance £1300 from a great Aunty, the note with the comformation letter said " spend it on something that will make you happy".
She lived to a 101 that sums her attitude to life.

I was told of a conversation about conventional balers.
"I've just bought a new baler"
"What's it like?"
"It's a Reardon"
"Never heard of them"
"I don't know who made it but it's painted red."

I am watching a video and "crowbar"is mentioned. I translate it to Dutch which doesn't make any sense. The Dutch name is "breaking bar" but another name for it is "cows foot", which doesn't make any sense in english.
