I saw some robins today … I thought they flew south for the winter … global warming at work!
1. On a man who was arrested for murdering his long-term partner after police secretly taped him apparently confessing to his cats:
“Well, if that isn’t the cat’s meow …”

2. On a report that clowns are disliked by young hospital patients:

2 guys/gals who rule
2 Comments:
1. Cats had his tongue.
2. So is Michael Jackson.
3. Further proof that red light cameras are entirely about revenue.
4. I thought John Holmes died in the late 1980s.
5. All signs point to "yes."
6. Limey calzone.
7. They go coo-coo for Coco Puffs.
1. We have 8 cats. I am very worried.
2. Are clowns liked by anybody??? (Apart from Crusty of course)
3. Over here a 'red light' camera programme would entail videoing prostitutes in action. Maybe it's the same over there hence all teh money accrued?
4. Please tell me his name was Monty?
5. You can't predict the unforseen
6. Swansea is in Wales Jeff. They are not Limey's, we English are. Also, as he is Welsh, it is highly likely that, rather than Wile Coyote, he would have been in the company of a sheep. He would have also been wearing wellington boots.
7. They fired him???? He's a genius. The News of the World will offer him millions for titles like that!!!
