Mind the Gap
Mind the Gap Tube
announcement returns after wife's plea
Margaret McCollum and Oswald Laurence
were married for 15 years
A 40-year-old
"mind the gap" recording once
heard across the Tube is returning to
one station -
so the widow of the actor behind it can hear his voice.
Oswald Laurence's
voice was used on the northbound Northern Line
but was phased out until only
Embankment used it.
Dr Margaret
McCollum said she often uses the station
and was devastated when "he
wasn't there" in November.
She was given a
copy of the recording after
Transport for London heard she went to Embankment
after his death to hear his voice.
After the request
Transport for London bosses
decided to restore the voiceover warning to
Embankment station.
'Zest for life'
Dr McCollum, 65, a
GP, met her theatre actor husband
- a Rada graduate - in 1992 on a tour to
Morocco,
after he had left acting and was working for
a tour and cruise
company.
Margaret McCollum used to wait at Embankment station
to hear Oswald
Laurence's voice
The pair, who lived
in north London,
were together until his death in 2007.
"It was devastating
to lose him.
He had a great zest for life".
Dr McCollum said
she used to frequently travel
via Embankment and loved hearing her husband's
voice,
even when he was alive.
"Since he died
I would sit and wait
for the next train until I heard his voice.
"On 1 November
he wasn't there.
I was just stunned when Oswald wasn't there anymore.
"I inquired
and I was told there was a new digital system
and they could not get his voice
on it."
But after hearing
what the voice meant to Dr McCollum
Transport for London arranged for a CD of
the recording for her,

It was visitor’s day at
the asylum.
All the inmates were
standing in the courtyard
and singing Ave Maria, and singing it beautifully.
Oddly, each of them was holding a bright red apple
in one hand and tapping it
rhythmi-cally with a pencil.
A visitor listened in
wonderment to the performance
and then approached the choir.
“I am a retired choir
director,” he said.
“This is one of the best choirs I have ever heard.”
“Yes, I'm very proud of
them,” said the conductor.
“You should take them on
tour,” said the visitor,
“What are they called?”
“Surely that's obvious,”
replied the conductor
. “They are the Moron Tapanapple Choir!”
People were getting
increasingly skeptical of organized religion
and the effect was plain for all
to see,
especially in Western Europe.
Only a few people regularly attended the
churches,
mosques, temples and synagogues.
With such poor attendance,
it was
inevitable that many had to be closed down
and sold at rock bottom prices due
to oversupply.
Rich and famous musicians were keen to buy
up such properties as
tax shelters.
They could also use the halls for rehearsals,
performances and
parties while waiting for the prices to recover.
A nosy reporter happened to
investigate Mick Jagger’s purchases
and found out that he had bought several
churches,
temples and synagogues but not a single mosque.
Strangely enough,
neither did Keith Richards
and the rest of the band members.
The mystery was
finally solved when the reporter
managed to corner Mick one day
and asked him
why this was so.
“It no secret” replied Mick
“Everybody knows a Rolling Stone
gathers no mosques. ”
(Gill Krebs)
Finally....The truth revealed at last...
Some years ago President Clinton was hosting a state dinner
Some years ago President Clinton was hosting a state dinner
when, at the last
minute, his regular cook fell ill,
and they had to get a replacement on short
notice.
The fellow arrived and turned out to be
The fellow arrived and turned out to be
a very grubby-looking man named Jon.
The President voiced his concerns to his Chief of Staff
but was told that this
was the best they
could do on such short notice.
Just before the meal,
the President noticed the cook sticking his finger
in the soup to taste it and
again complained to the Chief Of Staff,
but he was told that this man was
supposed to be a very good chef.
The meal went okay,
The meal went okay,
but the President was sure that the soup tasted a bit
funny.
By the time dessert came,
he was starting to have stomach cramps and
nausea.
It was getting worse and worse until finally
the President had to
excuse himself from the dinner
to look for the bathroom.
Passing through the
kitchen,
he caught sight of the cook, Jon, scratching his bum,
which made him
feel even worse.
By now, the President was desperately ill
By now, the President was desperately ill
with violent cramps and was so
disorientated
that he couldn't remember which door led to the bathroom.
He
tried every door in the hallway and was on the verge
of passing out from the
pain when he finally
found a door that opened.
As he unzipped his trousers and
ran in,
he realized to his horror that he had stumbled
into Monica Lewinsky's
office with his trousers around his knees.
The President fell to the floor in pain
The President fell to the floor in pain
and as he was just about to pass out,
Monica bent over him to listen for a heartbeat
and heard the President whisper
in a barely audible voice,
"Sack my cook."

All the monks in a certain monastery sing the simple word “Morning!”
from their windows each sunrise.
One day, after several “Morning!” greetings
had been sung,
a greeting of “Evening!” rang out.
In the courtyard below, a startled Brother Timothy said,
“Did you hear
that, Brother Edward?”
“Hear what, Brother Timothy?”
replied Brother Edward.
Brother Timothy sang in reply:
“Someone chanted evening…”

You can never
underestimate the inventiveness
of Saskatchewan Farm Boys:
at a
high school in the small town of Wadena in Saskatchewan,
a group of farm boy
students decided to play a prank.
They let three goats run loose inside the
school during school hours.
Before turning them loose,
they painted numbers on
the sides of the goats: 1, 2 and 4.
School
Administrators spent most of the day looking for No. 3.
Now
that's funny, I don't care who you are...
And you
thought there was nothing to do in Saskatchewan!

An
overweight blonde woman went to see her doctor one day,
so that she could
get some advice about going on a diet.
"Okay," said the doctor,
"I recommend that you eat regularly for
two days,
then skip a day.
Repeat this for two weeks
and the next time that you see me
you should have lost t least 5 pounds."
Two weeks later the blonde see's her doctor again.
She gets on the scales
and the doctor is happy to see
that she has lost nearly 30 pounds.
"So you followed my instructions then?"
asked the doctor.
"Yes," the blonde nodded,
"but I can tell you I thought I was
going to drop
dead on the third day!"
"From the hunger you mean?"
asked the doctor, confused.
"No," replied the blonde,
"From skipping all day!"
