Google Maps found me a Chinese takeaway, but it had an unexpected suggestion when I asked for an Indian... -

Amusing announcement from the captain of my plane out of Tenerife South this afternoon. In place of the usual recommendation to keep your seatbelt fastened while seated in case of turbulence, he advised that there was a "risk of potholes".
I'm sure the analogy makes sense to the Brits aboard, but I hope it translated well for the Spanish speakers on this plane!

Not kink-shaming anyone, but I'm not sure I want to go to the 'toilets viewing area'.

Why I Am So Tired
After dusting off and modernising a joke I first read in a chain email from 1996, I can tell you conclusively that the reason that I'm tired is because I'm overworked.

Our dog has decided that the perfect place to lie down at our holiday accommodation is... on a staircase whose carpet is the same colour as her!

In this corridor, during the act break, a stranger spotted it and did a double-take.
"Is that...? wait... that's not Hamilton!", they said.
I seized my chance.

The Reason I Have 12 Birthdays
The ever-excellent Blackle Mori posted this about 18 months ago but I don't think it got the level of attention it deserves.

Whenever I'm writing a rhyme,
I can't do the third and fourth line.
Dah-de-da-dah-duh,
Dah-de-de-dah-duh.
But somehow it still works out fine.
