My husband told me years ago about something on Twitter he came across about a someone who worked with someone called Wayne Bruce and they called him “Man Bat”. I still think of that and it tickles me.

Some of the one-liners in 'Motherland'. (Was re-watching episodes from previous series earlier, instead of binge watching the current one!)

Watching Yorkshire Farm last night. Sidney was 'training' his sheepdog puppy but she was basically wrapping her lead round and round a pole instead. He was getting so exasperated but talking to her so patiently and grown-up. Really sweet boy and so naturally funny.

"I thought I'd cancelled my Shit Husband Monthly subscription" 😁 (And yes, that's from the new one)

I've been really down all week. There's been so many shocking deaths of young people lately. A couple of them known to me.
I re-watched series one of Derry Girls tonight.
I forgot how funny the characters are. Absolute gold.
(My son came out of his bedroom to see if I was okay.)

Today my colleague spotted what she thought was a big spider near the ceiling at the end of our corridor.

On closer inspection it turned out to be a tiny plastic baby, Blu Tack-ed to the wall. Stress and exhaustion levels are high at the moment, and we laughed far, far harder than we should have done.

This happened just now. My poorly ds asked me to switch off the landing light as it's shining under his door. I tripped over god knows what on my way back to my room which caused me to fart 3 times.

Yes, it is so sly and cleverly written. I can re-watch it and still laugh out loud.

My 21 year old is modest, kind and not competitive - total opposite to me. They've been trying unsuccessfully to get me to improve my poor behaviour during family games nights.

Beloved Offspring won a game very narrowly, and stood up to make a speech. It started out as if it was going to be about how much fun it was playing together and we don't have to win to have fun, yada yada yada like a humourless granny. Then they broke into a victory dance and chanted, "I wo-on, I wo-on, I wo-on!"

It isn't too late for me to be a bad influence.

Hello? What was that? Helloooo?! Grin

My daughters stories which are hilarious (sparkly the pooping mermaid was fab). And the dog trying to eat a piece of cucumber I dropped on the floor.

And James Dreyfus on Twitter doing the scotish polititian trying to answer the question 'what is a woman'. It involve turtles apparently

Just listened to Mark and Lard as The Shirehorses doing a spoof of The Seahorses Love is the law. Haven't heard it for 20 + years, made me laugh out loud. I bloody love Mark Radcliffe.

My ds2 lay down on the floor and put baby dp up on his belly and she was making gurgling noises and dribbling right into his mouth. He was lying on the floor saying "aw mum get her, she's dribbling in my mouth". I found it far too funny.

My 5 Year Old DD...

Having a chat at the end of school (we live in a typical Miners Village - Shops, WMC etc) and she was so upset because all of her friends have been to a ‘Wolf Fair’ and she’s never ever been. I’d not got a clue what a ‘Wolf Fair’ was or is, and I spent ages trying to guess and console her.

Wolf? Fair? Woooolfff Fairrr?

Then it hit me. She meant ‘Welfare’ Grin

I pointed out that she’d been to the ‘Wolf Fair’ that weekend, but to this day she still thinks i’m trying to con her.

My Nan a few days ago. She saw my uncle with his dog who hasn't seen nan for ages so I said to her.
"Aww what did he do when he saw you?".
She said he gave me a big cuddle and took me for a coffee". I said what the dog? She said no Uncle G did. It's not funny writing it down but it did make me laugh at the time imagining the dog standing up and cuddling her and going for a coffee.

A story on here where the poster recorded a spur of the moment message on some sort of SOS feature on her phone that went 'helpp meeee pleeeaase' in a silly voice and for some reason the feature called at 4am and replayed this, they'd forgotten the message and were freaked out for weeks by who it might have been Grin

Absolute radio this morning, someone was on the 'apologies, corrections and clarifications' segment and described cutting in front of someone at college (adult college she was older than 18) fir enrollment and later seeing her in her class and rather than apologise or acknowledge it (she felt the girls eyes boring into her and felt like she really didn't want to do that), so she pretended she had a twin sister who wasn't very nice!
