It's that time of year again - although to me it only seems like last month since this list appeared. Age I expect.
I am also putting it down to age that I don't find this as funny as previous years efforts. Or I might just not be in the mood for gags.
number 6 was the only one that raised a smile for me.

Look now - I posted on this over on the Arts board!
I will delete it. My comments on this were that it wasn't as funny as previous lists but I fully accept that may be my age or state of mind.
Number 6 made me smile though.
EDIT: I can't remove it as it is a topic! I expect the mods may do the honours when they emerge from the bar.

I like the brella one.

I just replied to you Trent. Ask the mods to combine them.

No need for apology - I'd just seen it on the BBC. So contrary to the joke coincidences do happen.

Wonderful stuff SteveH & Ttent!
My eldest daughter, niece (with boyfriends), and brother-in-law(who is Sot) with one nephew are up there, back weekend. I'dl-sort of-liked to have been but had my main holiday July (anyway, i'm happy for the young to go to 'fringe')
Floo the first Vicotria Drama was excellent. I too am looking forward to second series.

This is for real, but highly amusing, imo. It is an Australian school answering machine.
There is a bit of a time delay at the beginning.
