ok what about this one

I'm as small as an ant, as big as a whale. I'll approach like a breeeze, but can come like a gale. By some I get hit, but all have shown fear. I'll dance to the music, though I can't hear. Of names I have many, of names I have one. I'm as slow as a snail, but from me you can't run. What am ???

[Toppy]

[^Mick^]

What about this one,

Where can I get another Job ??

[Scott_R]

Sapphy - I didnt understand that bit either

This one i found slightly harder

If you look, you can't see me. If you see me, you cannot see anything else. I can make you walk if you can't. Sometimes I speak the truth, and sometimes I lie. If I lie, I am nearer the truth. What am I?

What goes down a drainpipe up, but not up a drainpipe down..?

OK, thats pretty dreadfull lol

[Kieron]

no way, that was a complete guess. I still dont get how it relates to the truth & lies bit so thought I was wrong?

Kieron

[Mr_Hoarder]

An umbrella , but it should read, what goes up a drainpipe down, but not down a drainpipe up.

[Scott_R]

If you look, you can't see me. - If you are awake your not dreaming.

If you see me, you cannot see anything else. - If you are asleep you are dreaming

I can make you walk if you can't. - If your disabled, you can dream you can walk

Sometimes I speak the truth, and sometimes I lie.If I lie, I am nearer the truth. - You can dream about anything your imagination lets you. So in your dreams all lies are truths and vice versa.

Scott

[Kieron]

Yeah thats what I thought!

Kieron

[Ferg]

lol well the joke was that old I didn't even have to say it correctly!!
