I saw The Sun this afternoon, on the newspaper stand. I don't see what all the fuss is about to be honest.

Now all you need to do is find out how to spell the word "pronunciation"

I'm regularly amused by the buzzwords and slogans invented by politicians. Listening to the BBC News just now, I heard a government minister say that a "whistle-blowing portal" would be set up.

Haven't I already got one of those?

Carrots may be good for a human's eyesight, but they are excellent for a snowman's sense of smell.

Default Random Thought plus Comment:

NOT FUNNY?


There's obviously a circus coming to our town 'cos I keep seeing their vans with a big clown's face all over them. Well I never found circus clowns funny, not even as a kid. Continually falling on your backside and chucking buckets of confetti over the audience just doesn't do it for me.

My wife and I sometimes imagine TV sketches we'd like to see, but which haven't been done yet, and my ideal clown sketch might show:

Clown standing between two large crates about twenty feet apart. Dwarf pops out from one, runs up behind clown and kicks him in the jacksy. There follows the usual gormless hopping about, rubbing of sore backside: so far so ordinary. Clown turns round but of course the dwarf is back in his box by now. Dozy clown scratches his stupid head. Kids in crowd go mental.

Out from the other crate pops another dwarf; runs up, kicks clown in the jacksy. Clown, rubbing backside, faces audience who are yelling "He's behind you..." Clown turns round: no-one there.

Meanwhile, dwarf 1 pops out of his box again, runs up, kick clown up the bum, clown with wretched imploring face still not able to turn round in time to catch sight of the dwarf who's vanished back into his crate.

Dwarf 2 pops out again, this time kids in audience screaming and pointing "There! There!" Clown turns round as dwarf is beginning his run-up; Clown with big vacant smile on face just before dwarf arrives in target zone and kicks him FULL IN THE CROTCH.

Now I'd pay to see that...

Default Random Thought of the Day



Did you ever see such a beautiful face? The thing that is so poignant to me is that this lovely gaze can no longer be seen in the world, except in old photographs. She'd be 132 years old now...

I had a random thought one day while walking through Spalding with my wife and it came back to me today while I was looking at pictures of some of these bygone lovelies. I was still quite young, and as we passed a club (with music and the sound of folk having a good time coming from within) I pointed and said "I could have any woman in the place..." She looked over at the sign by the door. It said: "Afternoon Tea Dance"

IMHO: It's not possible to have random thoughts whilst gazing at bygone lovelies! They're still makin' movies about this one! after 3,330 years! Helen of Troy! even after ten years of misery, her Hubby took her back! the movie got that part wrong!

True, my thoughts tend to be very specific!

Is doing a handstand holding the entire world in your hands?
