Our game of Pictionary was *so* tedious I had to turn away. Oh well, Back to the drawing, bored!

It's terrible; My sweet old grandmother insists on setting all her gossip to poetry. And to make natters verse…

As a classical musician, the most tedious instrument to play is the triangle... it's just one Ting after another.

- I was on the London Underground with the New Zealand rugby team heading to a Star Wars themed fancy-dress party when they burst into their traditional ceremonial dance.

- Venice isn't what it used to be. The canals are filthy, piazzas unkempt, stray animals sleeping on boats…

- Gondola dogs?

- Well, I wouldn't say it's deteriorated quite that far!

A modern-day version of "Bugsy Malone" has been produced based upon the infamous "Krispy Kreme Cartel".

In the final climactic scene the cops burst into the factory all bun's glazing!

The dishes in this year's MasterChef series are becoming more and more surreal. We've had Grilled Earlobe, Roast Lips & Sautéed Nostril, yet, strangely, no one battered an eyelid!

I still have one or two blooms clinging on, but a few more days and it will all be over for the year 😔

It's always a shame to see the end of them, but at least spring is only a few short months away!
