This is one of the original mid-90s pages from my website.  I've chosen to not update it but have removed a few of the less politically correct cartoons.  Many of them are about my Mini fascination, and others date from the early days of people having the internet at home, when my site was first online.

I originally put this cartoon on my site in the 90s when cyber dating was a completely new concept.

A guy walks into the psychiatrist wearing only cling film for shorts.
The shrink says, "Well, I can clearly see you're nuts."
So I went to the dentist.
He said "Say Aaah."
I said "Why?"
He said "My dog's died.'"

"So I rang up a local building firm, I said 'I want a skip outside My house.'
He said 'I'm not stopping you.'
I was in my car, and I was driving along, and my boss rang up, and he said 'You've been promoted.' And I swerved. 
And then he rang up a second time and said "You've been Promoted again.' And I swerved again.  
He rang up a third time and said 'You're managing director.' And I went into a tree.
And a policeman came up and said 'What happened to you?' And I said 'I careered off the road!'

So I was getting into my car, and this bloke says to me "Can you give me a lift?" 
I said "Sure, you look great, the world's your oyster, go for it.

4 old Mini cartoons

These were published in AutoCar at around the time the Mini was launched.

My new printer (1999)

This isn't a joke really, just a note that I found in the box for my new printer - I thought it was really funny!  What do you think?  (Click to enlarge)  There are so many corrections they might as well have not bothered.

I just love this one! The cars with soggy suspension - especially the one that is tipping over when the door is open!!

Well it happens to all of us - even those of us who are meant to be experts!! Love the way the fearless men send the Margo to do the dirty work!

When I put this on my site in the mid to late 90s, working from home remotely was new and exciting. Little did we know that it would make it just as easy to work from India...
