The next Branch meeting , the last for 2014 will be
on Friday 14th Nov, at Zizzi in Winchester.
I will book the table for 12.30.
Next Meeting Zizzi
Once again we gath-
ered at the Golden
Lion for our Branch
AGM.
A great turnout this
year, from only 3
wanting to attend at
the beginning of
Sept , we actually
had 16 turn up.
Thanks to Jackie and
Rachel who could not
stay but at least
came and said Hi,
nice to see you both.
The meeting was
even more chaotic
than normal, we
were seated at the
long table by the
back door, rather
than at 2 tables at
the front, so I had to
go up and down a few
times to get any
views and pass on
decisions. It seemed
to work though.
The food as ever was
excellent, as you can
see from the photo
Emma’s Steak and
Ale pie was a very
generous size. I
think Sue T made a
slight mistake in or-
dering a starter as
well as a main
course.
Main discussion was
again when and
where we should
meet, I did bring
some menus with me
which were looked at
and mainly rejected,
so only one new ven-
ue next year Maison
Blanc which a couple
of people recom-
mended.
A copy of the
minutes is attached,
please make a note
of the dates.

An elderly gentleman had serious
hearing problems for a number of
years. He went to the doctor and the
doctor was able to have him fitted for
a set of hearing aids that allowed the
gentleman to hear 100%.
The elderly gentleman went back in a
month to the doctor and the doctor
said, "Your hearing is perfect. Your
family must be really pleased that you
can hear again."
The gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't
told my family yet. I just sit around
and listen to the conversations. I've
changed my will three times!"
With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress. The man who fell into an upholstery ma-chine is fully recovered. You feel stuck with your debt if you can't budge it. Local Area Network in Australia - the LAN down under. Every calendar's days are numbered. A lot of money is tainted - taint yours and taint mine. A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat.

The word "Checkmate" in chess comes from the Persian phrase "Shah Mat," which means "the king is dead". The only city whose name can be spelled completely with vowels is Aiea, Hawaii. Facetious and abstemious contain all the vow-els in the correct order, as does arsenious, meaning "containing arsenic." "Polish" is the only word in the English lan-guage that when capitalized is changed from a noun or a verb to a nationality. "Corduroy" comes from the French, "cord du roi" or "cloth of the king." The slash character is called a virgule, or soli-dus. A URL uses slash characters, not back slash characters. The only 15 letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter is uncopyrightable. The verb "cleave" is the only English word with two synonyms which are antonyms of each other: adhere and separate. The combination "ough" can be pronounced in nine different ways. The following sentence contains them all: "A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough; after falling into a slough, he coughed and hiccoughed."
