There’s nothing quite like showing you have a sense of humour in the face of adversity. And that’s just what Charlie did during the naughtiness that engulfed the capital last year!
He did get asked to take the defiant message down, though. Spoilsports.

I’m going to be honest with you, I stole this one. But it’s alright, I let Sophia know as I work with her and no-one needs that hanging over their head in this office. She’ll be thankful of the opportunity of stardom anyway I assure you.

I went for a drink in Highbury on Saturday, and I was pleased to find this beautiful little gem next door to the pub my friend Mike had chosen! Anyone who’s read before will know I’m a sucker for some foreign wordplay.

There is a lot to love about this photo sent to me by James. There’s the fact that even though the name of the place is incredible, they’ve decided to go for the slightly more “safe” COFFEE AND SANDWICH BAR for the headline, and relegated the best bit to the frills of the awning! It’s shameful.
The bit I just cant bet me head round though, is there appears to be a fridge outside. If anyone can explain that one it’d be a great help.

Now, this is a tenuous one. Technically it’s not a pun, but those cheeky inverted commas are there to let you all know this was no mistake. So I salute you P.A. Barnes Fencing Contractors, but forgive me if I don’t shake your hand.
Thanks to Kelly for the tip off.

Jurassic Park! Thanks to David for this one he spotted near Leeds Bradford Airport. Probably photographed from the window of a nearby Linton Travel Tavern.

When you have a wife who likes adding period features to your new home, this sort of place becomes a regular haunt. At least it has something about it to keep me interested too!

Thanks to Howard for getting me right back on the international bandwagon, with this ace from Toronto. Great to see they’re smashing it over there too!

Now. Here. This.
The good people at Time Out asked me to do a little blog post about my top 5 London puns, which went up yesterday!
You can see it here, where you can also click through to a gallery of London Puns which I was asked to kick start. Make sure you add your best ones there too!

The Return of TFI Punday!
Well, it’s been a while hasn’t it? And frankly, with a naughty little hangover scratching around behind my eyes and a toenail in agony after I managed to bend it in half, I think I need it more than ever.
So, for the unfamiliar, TFI Punday was an initiative to cheer up a Monday. Just a bit of fun for everyone. Two topics are given and they must be joined in a beautiful unison of wordplay.
Theres no prizes, it’s just fun alright? Good.
Today’s theme, wrapped in a neat little hashtag for Twitter purposes, is #foodsongs. Something nice and gentle to ease you in with if you’ve not played before.
Here’s a couple to get you in the mood:
Lime The One
Olive You Baby
Stand By Your Flan
I know theyre terrible, but it illustrates a point, ok.
Remember the #foodsongs hashtag on Twitter! Now off you pop.

Spotted at Richmond station on a cold winters day, making me hungry, but also warm and fuzzy inside.

Driving Schools are always a good source for wordplay, and this one is certainly no slouch. Thanks to Ian for the heads up!

Ben snared this little beauty while he’s over in Wisconsin! Back when I first started this blog, Ben was one of my most consistent suppliers, so it’s great to have him back on the international prowl.
