I love your grandad's saying! Too funny! And you really have to wonder about some of these people. Guess it makes it easier to catch them though, so the police must be happy!
I must say, your "oops" gif really sums up this edition of Media Monday! Oh the irony of that fellow destined for the electric chair. The getaway donkey was cute.
What a great way to wake up this morning! Haha
That man (from Cheshire) is such an idiot! He probably smoked way too much and now his brain is just ...mushy.. lol. :)
Hi Tracy,
My parents always said 'that if I had brains I would be dangerous' and the older I am getting, the more this rings true!
I read somewhere on the BBC, that not only did the chap try to climb the mountain in his flip-flops, but that the friend who was climbing with him couldn't help when the accident happened, as he was climbimg in bare feet! They should be billed for the full cost of search, rescue, recovery and hospital treatment!!
I don't know whether other folks from Durham have the same view as the girl I work with, who hails from that far flung corner of the country. She hates Yorkshire folk with a vengeance, so a slip up such as this MP made, would never have been tolerated and she would probably have been lynched!
Great stories as usual ... Happy Monday!

Oh gosh, I would totally be the tourist stuck with flipflops on the moutain.
Funny stories. :) These always make me either shake my head or laugh.
The world is full of crazy people! Who in their right mind would climb a mountain in flip flops?
If brains were dynamite...
We all make mistakes but,
these stories are just too much. Oops is right!
Thank you for this fabulous feature, Tracy.
haha that's hilarious about the answers being on the back!!
Mashed potatoes !!! Good lord , I wish I was there. And the cannabis !!!
I loved these two.
These are brilliant, the answers on the back, and how rubbish that the MP got the place wrong! Saw the mashed potato one!
Excellent, I love these stories. so glad that you continue to share these examples of ... oh , I don't even know how to term them.
Oh good grief. Well truth is often stranger than fiction. Thanks for the smile!
Oopsy, indeed. And what a glorious moment it must have been for those students!
