Happy New Year


I want 2010 to be full of laughter. So we’re celebrating the New Year with a competition. Anyone can enter and there’s no limit of the amount of entries per household. All you have to do is name the late arrivals to the Chef’s and Gardener’s Ball – do you remember this on ‘I’m Sorry I haven’t a Clue?’

Play the clip above for some inspiration. The competition will close on Twelfth Night – January 6th 2010. And the winner will receive a battered paperback copy of The Nonsense Books of Edward Lear bought and signed by me in 1968. At 42 years old it’s alsmost an antique.

Happy new year everyone – let’s hope it’s a good one.

    Hello peeps – I’m wearing my resurrection badge again!!!!!
    Can’t resist …..
    Poor (Blind) Lady Herds-Pye and her dog Shep were quite lonely, so it was very lucky that her friend (also blind) Mr Ted Dick and his faithful dog, Spot, arrived, accompanied by their companions, Mr Tard with his naughty son, little Cus.
