There's a pub near me that has started advertising "poker in the front, liquor in the back"
However, they have another sign that actually makes me laugh. They've written "1AM BAR!" on another sign, but it really looks like it says "I AM BAR!", which cracks me up.

My Christmas shopping is more like balancing an account.
Mum & Dad get £50 each to go towards dinner, theatre trip and a hotel with the rest coming from other siblings. And conversation with my brother that goes something like 'OK, you want Arkham City and I want The Simpsons Season 15 Box set, so why don't we just buy them for ourselves and make it easier?'.

I did get to buy lots of Lego for my niece last weekend though, now I just have to for her to visit on Boxing Day before I she can play with it.

A traffic jam on the main road this morning saw me try to be clever by nipping onto a parallel b-road. And then getting stuck behind all the other clever people.
