Post subject: Funny E-mails

At 12:45 on Wednesday morning a major Atlantic monsoon unexpectedly
hit the city and area of Greater Belfast. The flood decimated the
area causing an estimated £30 million of damage, with the exception
of Sandy Row and Ardoyne where approximately £ 375,000 of
improvements were made.


Untold damage and distress was caused, with many woken before their
Giros arrived. Several priceless collections of momentos from
Millisle and the Spanish Costa's were damaged and three areas of
historic and scientifically significant litter were disturbed.


A mural of King Billy was destroyed up tha shankill as was one of
some oul-doll gurning, on the Falls. Thousands are confused that
something other than political madness has shaken Belfast.


One survivor Tracey-Anne Jordan Johnston, a 17-year-old mother of
three told us "I near keeked maself. Our Britney-Fairybell came
gurning into the room this morning. The chyle was in an awful state.
My youngest ones, Chelsea-Jo and Justin-Keanu slept through it all,
so they did.


I was still shakin' watchin 'Trisha' - you know what I mean like.
It's awful so it is. All my wooden floors and rugs are wrecked and
me ma is raging, cos she only give me a lend of them. I can't get
the houl of the Housin' Executive for til fix them. They've only
been fixed for a week after me and him had a row. I've lost me
fegs and everything - its terrible so it is.
Look at the state of my hair.


Apparently in the west of the city widespread joyriding and looting
carried on as normal. The British Red Cross has so far managed to
ship 400 crates of beer into the area to help with the
grief-stricken, but they were stoned, bricked and petrol bombed as
they left the area.


Rescue workers still searching through the rubble have found large
quantities of personal belongings, including benefit books and
jewellery from Argos and the 1/2 price jewellers. They claim that
the death toll would have been significantly higher had the Bru been
open at the time.


HOW YOU CAN HELP:
Clothing is most sought after - Items required include: Sovereign
rings, Cladagh ear-rings, Burberry baseball caps, white socks, Tesco
two-stripe trainers, white track suits, chunky gold chains.


FOOD PARCELS ARE ALSO URGENTLY REQUIRED.
Required foodstuffs include: beer, frozen burgers, beer, lard, beer,
deep fried Mars bars, beer, Tayto cheese n' onion, beer, Chinese
takeaways and KEY-BABS!!


REMEMBER - EVERY LITTLE HELPS.....
25p will buy a biro pen to fill in a claim form.


£1.95 will buy an All-Day Ulsterbus ticket to enable victims to
travel from the Bru to the Post Office to McDonalds to the Wine
Store.


£20 will take a family to Ballymena for the day where the children
can sniff glue and skin-up.


£15 will buy fish suppers and an E for a family of 4.


PLEASE DONATE GENEROUSLY!!

> Nelson: "Then how are we to sink the Frenchies and the Spanish?"
> Hardy: "Actually, sir, we're not."
> Nelson: "We're not?"

>
> Nelson: "But you must hate a Frenchman as you hate the devil."
> Hardy: "I wouldn't let the ship's diversity co-ordinator hear you

>
> Nelson: "Don't tell me - health and safety. Whatever happened to rum,

> Hardy: As I explained, sir, rum is off the menu! And there's a ban on

> Nelson: "What about sodomy?"
> Hardy: "I believe that is now legal, sir."
> Nelson: "In that case............................... kiss me, Hardy."
