Has 'thigh-squeezing' Boris "I am The Hulk"
Johnson now become Boris "I amnesia" Johnson?

Who doesn't like a 3-liner? (Quite a few of you don't, apparently.) Well, I'll have you know that many a critic has said of my work "at least it's in English" - and as for the great Stephen Fry, he once said of me "Vincent who?" Let's just say I supply the litter to the litterati [sic - but only at times] - ie: I write rubbish. But rubbish mostly inspired by the HAIKU, the 17th Century Japanese verse form consisting of 3 lines and 17 (5-7-5) syllables. (WARNING: flash photography and limericks)

Model Naomi Campbell is pictured in all the papers
in a designer 'bullet-hole' dress. I can't help but
wonder whether it's made of shot silk, haha...

Women spend 71 days a year glued to their phone,
apparently (news item). Men? They also get stuck
- stuck for things to say, usually, haha...

78% of Gallup pole-dancers are now embarrassed
to be associated with a certain Prime Minister. No
names, no pack-drill...

No quid pro quo in Trump's phone call to Ukraine?
Withholding almost $400million in military aid prior
to the phone call makes that about 320million quid
pro quo, at the current rate of exchange...
