Anyone remember that advert with the bloke stuck with some sort of glue to a plane?. I can't remember what the name of the company, but i was always impressed with the guy who allowed himself to be stuck.

I think it might have been Solvite but I'm willing to be proved wrong

I always remember the Wrangler ad with the tag line "Rickenbacker, good grief" for some strange reason

Next... I wish we were both at the sea-side. (they are now at the sea-side).

Cute blonde girl gets angry, saying, "What 'e really meant was, 'e could'nt Swim!"

Still got one wish left remember!

Dave feeling dejected says to the fairy-godmother,

Sir Isaac Newton told us why

An apple falls down from the sky

And from this fact, it's very plain,

All other objects do the same

A brick, a bolt, a bar, a cup,

Invariably fall down, not up

And every common working tool

Is governed by the self-same rule

So when you handle tools up there,

Let your watchword be, "Take Care!"

If at work, you drop a spanner,

It travels in a downward manner

At work, a fifth of accidents or more,

Illustrate old Newton's law

But one thing he forgot to add,

The damage won't be half as bad

If you are wearing proper clothes,

Especially on your head and toes

These hats and shoes are there to save

The wearer from an early grave

So best feet forward and take care

About the kind of shoes you wear

It's better to be sure, than dead,

So get a hat and keep your head

Don't think to go without is brave;

The effects of gravity can be grave
