  • Socks Appeal

    Billy Elliot star Jamie Bell was so nervous about his first sex scene he tried to cover his manhood with a sock.

    Jamie, 21, said getting naked in front of a 30-man crew for his new movie Hallam Foe was terrifying, reports The Sun.

    He admitted: “I asked the director before filming if I could cover my intimate parts with socks, but he said no.

    “For all the people around it was just another movie scene, but I was horribly nervous.”

  • Waiting for the train

    This woman decides to buy a self-assembly cupboard. Back home she reads the instructions carefully and assembles the cupboard in the bedroom. It looks really neat. Then, a train passes and the whole cupboard collapses. Not daunted by this she re-reads the instructions and reassembles the cupboard. Then, another train passes and the whole cupboard collapses again. Thinking that she must have done *something* wrong she re-re-reads the instructions and re-re-assembles the cupboard. Then, a train passes and the whole cupboard collapses yet again. Now, she's finally fed up with this and calls the customer service department. She is told that this is quite impossible and that they'll send along a technician to have a look. The technician arrives and assembles the cupboard. Then, a train passes and the cupboard collapses. Completely baffled by this unexpected event, the technician decides to reassemble the cupboard and sit inside it to see whether he can find out what causes the cupboard to collapse. At this point, the woman's husband comes home, sees the cupboard and says: "That's a nice looking cupboard", and opens it.
    Says the technician: "You won't believe me, but I'm standing here waiting for a train".

  • I've done it again

    Upset the manageress of a shop that is:

    I was in Wilco earlier this morning and the tills were down, so no-one was being served.

    Being the helpful person that I am, I suggested to the manageress that she grab a couple of calculators from the shelf and hand them to the young girls on the tills so that they could add up the customers' bills.

    Apparently this was a shocking idea; she mentioned stock tracking and till reconciliation.

    Fortunately for her, the tills then started working before I got the chance to get sarcastic.

    This situation sums up exactly what is wrong with our society; no-one is prepared to take any initiative - they're only concerned about covering their backs. They'd rather not make a mistake than give their absolute best every day [and maybe make the odd mistake.]

    Maybe I'm just too radical for Doncaster...I don't know.

    Speeding fine riddle

    A researcher has been slapped with a speeding ticket in Somerset - despite living 800 miles away in Germany.

    Baffled Christopher Reynolds, 30, faces a £60 fine and penalty points unless he can prove he was not at the wheel.

    He was notified by letter he had broken the 30mph limit on the A370 in Somerset on May 31, reports the Daily Mirror.

    Christopher insists he was at work in Munich at the time and has neither driven for years, nor ever owned the car involved in the alleged offence.

    He said: "There must be another Christopher Reynolds. It means their system is flawed."

    The DVLA, which holds drivers' details, said: "If a driver says he was out of the country he has to prove he was not driving."
