To get your weekend off to a start- a (shockingly half decent!) joke.

Q. How many G4S security staff does it take to change a lightbulb? A. Six soldiers and a policeman

And this weekend…

Sunday 22nd  July New Eco-House open day in Chorlton.  Open House and would welcome volunteers to help remove the polystyrene covering walls and ceilings of the 2 attic rooms and roll up the carpets, but no obligation to do anything but call in and say hello or “Are you crazy?”. 36 Manchester Road Chorlton cum Hardy, M21 9PH I can have all day.

CORRECTION: Monday 23rd, 7pm Withington Co-operative Eco-house meeting, Fuel, 448 Wilmslow Road, Withington (upstairs). “The Withington Co-operative Eco-house is a new project to enable a group of people to be given the opportunity to live together within the city in a more environmentally friendly and sustainable way. The house will provide accommodation for a household of six people, who we are currently looking for. No capital is required to join. Go along to the next meeting to find out more.” http://www.coopliving.net

If you know of weekend events that are about “climate” (and that includes food growing, or cycling or whatever), then let us know and we can include them in future “Something for the Weekend”s…

And if you know any jokes of the high standard we’ve used so far, please submit ’em.
