Well I’m not, but… As I was getting out the shower yesterday, there was a hair in the bath formed into a perfect pound symbol. Now does that mean I have money coming to me, or a big bill to pay? I’ll let you know when it happens. Meanwhile, back to the Twilight Zone. Do do do do, do do …
There has been a recent report by scientists about the alarming drop in the number of the bee population. The reason for the demise of bee colonies, they say, is unexplained. Well, they haven’t looked very far. For I can reveal today where all the bees have disappeared to. Now the warmer weather is coming, I have started opening the …
I was walking past the market yesterday and was enticed by all the lovely displays of fruit. Now, I don’t buy much fruit any more because it’s generally shit. But this looked so good, I succumbed to the appetising display of colours – reds and yellows and pinks and greens, orange and purples and blues – thank you Cilla. I …
The TV news is at it again this morning, no doubt the radio too but I haven’t listened. Jade Goody has died of cancer.

Anyway, this is getting a bit boring now, so before I leave the subject I’ll just let you know about another version of Wankword Bingo I’ve found. It’s the Wankword Challenge. Quite simple really. If you and …

The offending creature was, in fact, about an inch wide. Anyway, I ejected the helpless thing out of …
Wankword for Thursday is: Keynote.
I’d never heard of her until three days ago. She’s headline news today after dying following a skiing accident. Now that’s awful and tragic news, no doubt about it. But should it be the leading story? I think not! After a few seconds research on Google, I found out that dozens of people a year die on slopes in the …
Today’s (super) wankword is: Consistency of beaconicity. No shit! I heard in on Radio 4’s ‘Today’ programme this morning.
