It's a Med - y - evil thing I believe.

As an aside, Magdalen (Maudlin...!) College Trustees own vast tracts of land around us (Rugby-ish). No idea why, but at least it keeps them as green belts for the duration.

Well, the Tabs spell it Magdalene but pronounce it the Oxford way, which is even odder.

Mag da len. Is that wrong?
Yes - Maudlin.
When I drove an oil tanker for Castrol, I had a delivery for a Ford dealer in Magdalen St. Colchester, I hadn’t delivered there before, and I went in a newspaper shop to enquire for directions, I asked for the street in the way that I knew Magdalen College was pronounced, Maudlin St.
The guy said, “New to me, show me the delivery note”, then said, “You mean mag dal en St.”
I thought, ‘No, I mean Maudlin St.’ but I’ll call it your way if you’ll tell me how to get there.

Trinity College, Cambridge, own most of Felixstowe Docks. Hence it used to be the Trinity Dock. It must make them millions.

Errr, mm, I have to be careful here, I’ve trod on so many metaphorical toes lately, I can’t afford to annoy too many people, I got the joke, but I didn’t laugh uproariously, is that okay?

A dad is listening to his daughter say her prayers before bedtime.
She says - God bless mummy and god bless daddy and god bless grandma and... goodbye grandpa.
He asks her - why did you say that?
I don't know, I just felt like saying it.
The next day, grandpa drops dead. Wow, thinks dad, that's an odd coincidence.
A month later at bedtime, the daughter says - God bless mummy and daddy. And goodbye grandma.
Sure enough, the next day grandma breathes her last earthly breath.
The dad realises this is more than a coincidence, but he is not sure what to do. He doesn't want to disturb his wife by telling her (Grandma and grandpa were her parents).
Months go by and one night the man is listening to his daughter saying her prayers at bedtime - God bless mummy....she turns her head and looks straight at him - and goodbye daddy. What!? are you sure darling? She nods. The man's heart begins racing and he breaks out in a sweat. He is so upset, he can't sleep at all that night.
The next day he goes off to work, but locks himself in his office. He takes the phone off the hook, cancels all his meetings and awaits the inevitable.
He stays at work past 5 because he feels secure there. He watches the hours tick by. Finally it is midnight and, drenched in sweat, he realises he has cheated death. He drives home drenched in sweat and with all his nerves frazzled.
His wife is up and waiting for him - Where on earth were you today??! He replies - Don't shout, I've had an absolutely miserable day.
His wife then says - You had a miserable day? I'm the one who had a miserable day! First, the milkman drops dead on the steps...

Magdalen College, in Oxford, is pronounced as Maudlin, maudlin means self pitying or tearfully sentimental, so if you’re feeling depressed you could be described as maudlin, got it now?
It’s not side slapping funny, it’s just a play on words.
