Sometimes people just go that extra mile to really make something good into something utterly wonderful. This is the case with the menu at the Atlanta-based hiphop theme restaurant Bon Rappetite.
Here are few of the delicacies you can expect to enjoy there:

Pun of Your Business
Thank you to the lovely folk at londonlovesbusiness.com for asking me to do an article on my favourite capital puns!
You can read the article HERE.
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...

Honey, I'm Home
May I begin with an apology. It has been almost a year since I last posted and for that I am sorry. It’s been a busy 12 months for me. I bought my first home with my then girlfriend, whom I have since got engaged to and married, and changed jobs. So while I am in a great place right now, some things went on the back-burner, one of which was The Punning Man.
Another factor was the sheer...

TFI Punday
Good morning on this cold and foggy Winter’s day. As an early Christmas treat (and I do mean early. It’s still November, put the mince pies away love) I’m creaking open the door to TFI Punday! My young, handsome friend Ben has recently invited his Facebook pals to a game, whereby his wall has been filled with puns galore. The aim, to make a person’s name out of a phrase....
Rye humour
I was pointed in the direction today, of a blog of pure, unbridled perfection. It is for minds like this that Tumblr exists. Good friends, I give you, Bread People. Enjoy, but do clean up the crumbs.

Furrys a jolly good fellow
Thanks a bundle to one of my constant suppliers, Rosie for not only finding me a pair of puns to put up, but having the decency to make sure they’re themed! Pets may well win prizes, but not unless they’re groomed to a good standard. And if de-shedding is what your moggy needs, then this tool can sort it out: I want you all to take note of how I avoided any “grooming your...
Spar Wars
A couple of weeks ago, for the first time ever, I contributed my vocal chords to what will be a real record, which will be released and everything. Luckily for the listeners of said record, I was part of a gang vocal, and not the lead or anything frighteningly real like that. The studio was set in deepest, darkest Deptford, and fortunately the off license next door provided adequate sustenance for...

TFI Punday Comp Results
A sincere thank you to all of you who provided entries for last Monday’s #TFIPunday. I’m not sure if the increased activity and constantly lit “new mail” icon on my desktop was to do with the offer of reward rather than just for good old fashioned fun this time, but I was pleased nonetheless! I asked for you to come up with some suitably red-top headlines for a pair of...
TFI Punday COMPETITION!
The rumours are true! Worry not about tube strikes and horrendous weather, because the best day of the week has returned! Yes, TFI Punday is BACK! For those of you who are new readers to this little nook in the internet, TFI Punday was my own little attempt at bringing some sunshine back into Mondays (generally regarded as the least popular day of the seven). Every week I set a topic like Food...
Red Top of The Pops
There are some things which are just quintessentially British, even though you may not like that fact. The Royal Family, rain, queuing, whinging about The Royal Family, rain and queuing, and of course, Sir Cliff Richard. Sir Cliff’s been around longer than sand, but at the ripe old age of 70 he still looks the part when sunning himself on the beach! And apparently, this is worthwhile a story...

Christmas is punning
There’s a nice little article on the Creative Review blog about Harvey Nic’s Christmas Cards (yes, I’m afraid it’s probably time to start thinking about that now, dear readers), which have typical Christmas fayre illustrated into celebrities. This one of our sour-faced Scottish pal being my favourite. Check out the blog post here. Thanks to Nikki for the tip off!

Fire Like This
Nothing pleases me more then when something which essentialy quite boring tries to liven itself up with a well executed pun. Let’s take the world of fireplaces, for example. Hardly the Ferrari showroom, is it? But one particular establishment in Wimbledon Chase has stepped up their efforts to get those customers in: ..and I tell you what. When we buy our house, which (if any of the ones...

And don't forget the joker
Praise be to my old friend Axl, who after much hard drive (as well as soul) searching has been able to find me an absolute beauty from her time in Vancouver back in 2006. I reckon this must be the joint Lemmy uses to get his leathers looking so spanking!
Puns don't kill people
I’ve told you before what a big fan I am of tshirts, haven’t I? Well, here’s further evidence as to why: Well, I suppose it’s kind of the antithesis of my PUNS NOT GUNS shirt, but I can get on board with this, because let’s face it, it;s a beauty! Designed and sold by the maniacs at Skate Mental, but if you want one in the UK, I’d suggest purchasing from the...
On the road again
There’s been a wealth of tomfoolery on the roads the past days, and I’m not talking about bad drivers (though I’ve seen plenty of examples of that recently too, believe you me). Is always handy having a co-pilot with you to snap anything should something crop up! Good tip that! …its what you need if you wanna be a Record Breaker! (ok, that was dedication, but you get the...
