    'He's gone through 2 pasties, a pork pie, a sausage roll, a doughnut and I just heard him tell his wife "See you for breakfast!"

    Bryan prudently placed his brand new wig back in the bag fearful of guano stains.

    He'll drop the whole bag when he sees my tightrope-walking trick.

    Sigh ... chips, chips, chips, that's all you ever think about. Men!

    A Mr. Herring C. Gull of Great Yarmouth complained, ''He'd actually put down a preference for 'single, white bird' and I just wanted to meet a great bustard.''

    OK! Magazine Exclusive: Eastenders Phil Mitchell and Ian Beal caught in seaside hideaway!

    Sadly, Bryan, it's 'what the people want'.

    ...so I says to him, look, son, I've regurgitated more times than you've had hot dinners, but, of course, he knew it wasn't true. the kids of today... how's your lunch going down?

    Honestly, Ian -- you've got talent! If only there were a game show where they flashed a picture on a screen and the contestant who came up with the most clever caption in twenty seconds won, you would win every time. Well, Johntyh would be a close second.

    My fave: the scotch egg and snicker!

    'When you've chosen a chip hold it with both hands behind your back, and shut your eyes so I can't see. Honestly, you'll love this trick, works every time.'

    Look the other way, Cyril, I think he just threw up into that bag.

    (or is this is just regurgitating [sic] Ian R's offering?)

    'Not a crumb! Don't think me bitter (or even bittern, ha-ha a joke), but when this bloke arrived the sea wall didn't have a crack in it!'

    oops, susan, thanks you are too kind but we better not make it a competition or Bryan will have to dig into his pocket for a suitable prize - it's the taking part that matters.

    That isn't Bryan sat on the wall, is it ? If it is, I insulted him at 4.11pm, and am deeply sorry!
