  • funny: you should say that

    The levity levels on this blog have dropped to worryingly low levels this week. Yesterday I even had the temerity to suggest that you go and find your own joke! Sorry. It won’t happen again. By way of apology, here is a quick thought and jokes to illustrate: God created laughter. We should use that…

  • the first of many

    Hi In order to christen baptise the new blogsite I thought I would give you a little joke… When a guy’s printer type began to grow faint, he called a local repair shop where a friendly man informed him that the printer probably needed only to be cleaned. Because the store charged £50 for such cleanings,…

  • in case you wanted a laugh today

    I didn’t feel a joke was appropriate with today’s blog, so if you want one, this is an extra one with some frivolity…. If I (a bald man) get hit on the head can I still get a hairline fracture? I knew I was going bald when it was taking me longer and longer to…

  • explanation of this morning’s bloggerel

    Yes, the first part of the bloggage this morning was an attempt at an April Fool’s joke, sorry! Still, it does mean that the blog was not without a joke after all…

  • principles?

    I have a decision to make. I have been approached by a Christian publisher to write a series of daily devotions based on my blog. That is amazing. (I can’t say which publisher but I don’t think they will be asked to join the TUC.) Apparently someone who works there is a regular blogmate and showed…

There seems to be a drive within us…

  • buttons (no not the panto character)

    Yesterday we had our Carols by Candlelight service and despite the snow and ice we had a wonderful time, led by a choir who had been practicing since September! Beautiful. We were down at the church early to help set up and my son, Thomas, was there to run the PowerPoint. He got bored and…

  • funny feeling or feeling funny?

    How do you do? Thanks for dropping by. I have been re-reading a wonderful book: The Naked Jape by Jimmy Carr and Lucy Greeves. (link to buy the book) It’s all about the origins of jokes and humour and different aspects of jokes and joking. I love it, not just because of the analysis but…

  • Is Pob back?

    Has anyone else noticed the similarity between the new Education Minister, Michael Gove MP and Pob, from the children’s TV programme of the 80s: Pob’s Programme. Do we know what Michael Gove was doing in the late 80s? Is Pob now serving in the UK Government under a new name? Are there any other puppets…
