Oh sod it.

Exactly 12 months to the day, as if it's been timed.

Well look how far we've come and gone. So who's up for a game of 12 months?

Giraffes are the gayest in the zoo

The topic today is Sandwiches.

Now the word sandwich comes to us from the Sandwich Islands. When Captain James Cook pulled into the Sandwich Islands to pick up supplies, the islanders offered him pork served between 2 slices of breadfruit.

He took a supply of this back to his ship and personally prepared his crew's dinner - and that's how we get the word "to cook".

- Unbelievable truths.

Red White & Green

He had a broad face and a round little belly,

That shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly elf,

And on long winter nights, he would play with himself?

(And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself)

Bienvenido

Since 2002, Manchester has been home to the Nothern Imperial War Museum at Salford Quays.

Last summer they presented an exhibition of camouflage techniques and were proud to report that over 2000 people a week failed to see it.

No Morals

An abstruse chestnut.

Being totally flummoxed by a snowflake.

Ghastly.
