Kings of Comedy
I was musing today on which are the greatest TV comedy shows of all-time. I am positive not everyone will agree with my selection, but in no particular order, here are some of my favourites:

Gun Nuts
Texans. How we love 'em.
This quote is taken from a Texas gun store's website (the incorrect spellings and poor English are left in):
"Now that America has voted in the most Liberal Gun Hating president in the history of the USA, be prepared for the worse possible nightmares to happen. With the possibility of Obama hooking up with the UN in the world quest to wipe out the sale of small arms and setting the old Clinton assualt ban back in place. Guns such as your semi-automatic 22 : Model 60 Marlin, Ruger 10/22 or even your Remington 1100 would be added to the ban list. Dont set idley by. Join the NRA, GOA or some other group that has lobbying power to preserve your 2nd Ammendment rights."
And these people form the most powerful nation on earth. Luckily, most Americans are not like this at all, and hopefully neither is the new President. Please, Mr Obama, don't set idley by...

Christmas Is Coming
It is that time of year again. Ho ho ho. Time for a pre-season ditty
A week away from Xmas hols
And work is such a slog.
I'm getting quite impatient
For my chocolate yuletide log
I will try to make the best of it
No meetings please - I'm bored
Just one more final thing to say
Happy Christmas all, from Claude

Oh Boy, George
So, it seems that George O'Dowd is going to jail for tying a male escort to his bed. O'Dowd is, of course, better known as Boy George.
He may be quite overweight now, an escort-abuser and former drug addict, but I like to remember him in his 80s technicolour peak.
Say what you will, Karma Chameleon is still a classic.

Sick But Warm
Hooray. I looks like we have finally got our central heating working. At least, it seems to be OK, who knows how long that can last.
It took nearly a whole day of fussing and fixing with the plumber and boiler repairman, but so far it appears to be doing its stuff.
Sadly, it wasn't in time to stop me developing some kind of bug. My throat is raging and swallowing is difficult. I am not even enjoying the cup of coffee I am drinking right now. Every gulp feels like I am swallowing a mouthful of pins.
Woe is Claude.

Brass Monkeys
Bbbblimey iiiiiit's ccccccold aaaaat tttttthe mmmmoment.
The freezing temperatures are not helped by the fact our boiler is on the blink. It turns off every 5 minutes, meaning when we return to the house or get up in the morning the whole house is like an igloo.
Roll on summer...

Overheard
I heard a group of teenagers debating where in the world McDonald's have restaurants.
One, obviously sharp individual, commented "Well, they definitely have 'em in America 'cos I saw one once."
McDonald's in America? Nah.
