Hey, am I going to get my own category?

There are only two of yours on here. You'll have to be a bit more prolific if you want your own category!

A rather upper-class lady walks up to the reception desk of the Fitzwilliam Museum, in Cambridge:

"Could you direct me to the Ashmolean Museum, please?"
    Posted by JT on 14 Apr 2010. + (1) - (0) Permalink
Note - the answer is really quite simple. You come out of the Fitzwilliam, go left a bit, right a bit, straight on, join the M11, follow it for about 30 miles to the M25 junction, then go west for about 45 miles to the M40 junction, then up the M40 for another 30 miles or so and turn left. You can't miss the Ashmolean - it's right in the centre of Oxford.

News headline: "Something Went Wrong in Plane Crash, Expert Says"

Might be something to do with the remains of the bomb we found in the engine. Just a thought.

The plane failed to fly right in the crash.

Call me wild, but I think they might have gotten the crash procedure correct. It was just the landing that needed some work.
