Best joke from this year's Fringe

Some very funny jokes in this year's best joke competition, but my favourite came in at number 10:

10) Gareth Richards "Wooden spoons are great. You can either use them to prepare food. Or, if you can't be bothered with that, just write a number on one and walk into a pub…"

God,I love a crap joke!

The agony and the e(bay)ctasy

I have posted some items for sale on ebay. It's not the first time I've done this, I've sold a few bits, but I'm not one of those people who sell the free samples you get in magazines. The difference this time is that I also have an app on my iPhone that lets me check if there's been any interest, whenever I like, in seconds. I am now a woman POSSESSED. I wake up the phone, touch the icon, and wait breathlessly to see if any of my items have turned green.

I am keenly watching the watchers, who are steadily increasing for one item in particular - used Fitflops, would you believe. Nobody's put in a bid yet, there are four of them now, and I imagine them all circling, like sharks with foot pain, desperate for a comfy orthapedic shoe to put them out of their misery, but unable to commit just yet. I feel sure one of them will dip a toe in the water and make a bid, but who knows who will blink first??? It's all too exciting.
