Well, it could happen...

Located where?

This sign is to be found in the gents' changing room in the leisure centre at the Hilton Craigendarroch Hotel, Ballater, Scotland:

Thankfully, when I found the spin dryer, it was located beside the urinals...

You gotta be kidding...?

I know what's inside a television...

A few days ago my four year old daughter and my wife had this conversation:
"Mummy, what is inside a television?"
"You should ask Daddy that"
"Does Daddy know what is inside a television?"
"Yes"
"Good"

And that was that. She has since then never asked me what is inside a television, she simply seems content in the knowledge that I know.

Armed with that knowledge, she has since been overheard asking other kids at her nursery "Does your Daddy know what is inside a television?" - but other four year olds don't seem to care about this issue.

Show me the colour of your money

Last weekend, while playing 'cafe' with my three year old daughter I used the phrase "Show me the colour of your money..." at one point.

All week since then she has been doing precisely that - showing me any money she happens to have or find and telling me exactly what colour it is.

"I'll show you the colour of my money... this one is silver..."

Google having a laugh...

Just spotted my first 'April Fool' this year...

Snigger.

Quote of the day

"...there are very few movies that wouldn't benefit from losing twenty minutes and the inclusion of an exploding helicopter shot..."

Absolutely...

For anyone who remembers the quality comedy sketch show that was Absolutely, click the picture above for a trip down memory lane. Including many video clips.

And the video clip of one of my favourite sketches is there... Calum Gilhooley trying to buy plane tickets to New York. Inspired genius! "G for gnome, I as in me, L for look at that Honda...". Shame they don't have the entire Restaurant sketch ("The baby veal in the tank", "Do you have any of those big round flat fish covered in different toppings... the pizza fish?", "Your tip's getting jolly small, laddy"... ahhh that was real comedy).
