Britain Humour - Fun Facts

A Bank That Certainly Has Your Number!!!

February 10th 2010 22:00
Another story from the year 1993, this time in relation to a banking error of a different sort.

bank notes
A bank in the UK hatched a plan to target its 2000 wealthiest clients in an attempt to improve their own bottom line by selling them additional banking services. They therefore had one of their IT employees design a computer program to search the bank databases to retrieve the information on the 2000 clients, and send an automatic mail out. The software programmer decided to test his program out on an imaginary customer he named Rich Bastard.
Unfortunately, due to another error in the software, all 2000 clients were sent the letter addressed "Dear Rich Bastard"!

LOOSE STUFF 2 MAKE U LAUGH!

July 25th 2009 12:10
Charlie Sheen was once asked whether he'd like to have his father's job playing the American president on "The West Wing".
"I could never be the president," Sheen replied. "Think about it. I've abused cocaine, I've been arrested, I'm not a very smart guy. It's a big joke to think people would want someone like me just because his dad was president."

end of the rainbow
Rainbow was a British children's television series, running between 1972 to 1992, and planned out as the British equivalent of Sesame Street.

In 1979, the cast and crew of Rainbow performed an Adult version, as shown below, solely for the viewing eyes of the staff for Christmas. It was never intended for public viewing, however in 1997, the Channel 4 programme TV Offal showed it, jokingly, as "the pilot episode".
