• A VERY BRITISH DAY OUT

  ‘Take the next left onto B709,’ says the satnav. ‘Where is she taking us?’ says the passenger. ‘I’m just following the directions, dear,’ says the driver. ‘Are we there yet?’ From the backseat. ’10 minutes away,’ says the passenger, ‘I can see the castle from here.’ ‘You said that 5 minutes ago!’ ‘It’s these bloody […]

• THE WRONG GUY

  

  The man arrived in reception and shouted his name. ‘Guy?’ He stood up and walked towards him, ‘Hello.’ ‘This way, we haven’t got much time.’ Odd, he thought, his interview for a BBC accountant job wasn’t for another twenty minutes.

• BUCKET LIST

  

  Why did he need to have a bucket list? Agnes was insistent this was something he needed to tick off it, whether he had one or not. Happy 60th, darling! So here Archie was, standing in a basket, strapped to a vast nylon balloon. Agnes waved and snapped another picture. The hot air balloon was […]
