I don't normally take much notice of so called "funny" e mails, but these 2 had me chuckling so I thought I would share them with you, apologies if you have seen them before.

The first one is supposedly a genuine list of requests to a housing department at a Council.

Our toilet is blocked and we cannot bath our four children until it is cleared;

I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is coming off the wall;

I have had your Clerk of Works down on the floor six times, but have not yet received any satisfaction;

I want some repairs done to my cooker, which has backfired and burnt my knob off;

Our lavatory seat has broken in half and is now in three pieces;

I request permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen; half of them are damp, half have crumbling plaster and are the rest are just plain filthy;

Our kitchen floor is damp; we have two small children and would like a third, so please send a man to do something about it.

The other is a random headline generator for the Daily Mail, with apologies to Mail readers.

You need to press F5 to update to a new headline.
