"Oh blimey, it’s not that bloody Wellington bloke again, is it? I mean, I liked his ‘Pope on a Rope’ gag, but quite frankly it’s been all downhill since then".
Well yes, it is me - She Who Must be Obeyed has waltzed off on another short trip (any excuse to look cool and flash in her new car, if you ask me), and I’m left holding the fort. Not that she has a fort, you understand. There’s too many flowers, and pink, and girly stuff in here for it to be anything even remotely resembling a fort, but it was just a metaphor. A METAPHOR!!!! (Sorry, don’t know why I shouted that, just seemed right at the time).
Do you know what the best word in the English language is?
Bungalow.
I mean, Margaret would probably say it’s ‘hairdresser’ or ‘shoes’ or something, but I’m telling you now, ‘Bungalow’ is the best word ever. Really. Ever.
Just say it a few times to yourself, you’ll see what I mean. Go on, no whispering, say it out loud with me right now, risk the bemusement and ridicule of whoever’s sat next to you, it’ll be worth it.
Bungalow.
Bungalow bungalow bungalow.
Oooooooo goodness, what a big bungalow.
BUNGALOW!!
"Where do you live?"
"I live in a BUNGALOW!"
"hmmm, do you? How fascinating".
What a fabulous word. Take this information away with you, and see how life-changing it can be. And whenever you hear anyone use the word ‘bungalow’, I want you to shout out "BUNGALOW!!!" in reply, just for the fun of it.
"Oooh, look at that bungalow over there" they say.
"BUNGALOW!!!" you reply, giggling.
Tell your friends. Get them all to do it. Within three months, we could have the whole country doing it. And remember, it started here first.
Disclaimer: I don’t live in a bungalow, by the way, in case you were wondering. I’m too tall.
Friday Feast to follow, later today – sorry, I got sidetracked!
And to end on a joke:
A man walked into a bar, and said to the barmaid "I’ll have a double entendre, please".
So she gave him one.

Welly,
I love the joke. I may have to steal that one next time I need to tell a joke.
And bollocks is my favorite Brit curse word.
Loathe though I am to drag the blog down to my level, I think you've made an excellent choice there, Steve. 'Gobshite' is a fun one to use too. Or 'knob-end'. There's a blog entry in this (I can think of at least another twenty funny ones off the top of my head), but Margaret would kill me.
BUNGALOW!!!! I think I just might have to agree with you... though there ain't none houses like that round here... too many rich folk and their fancy livin' spaces.........
and you'll have to take the time to explain to me the meaning of "gobshite"... I certainly do like the sound of it........ oh.............and.............
BUNGALOW!!!!!!!
