Hi all, just a bit of useless information that I read today but did you know that the word 'Bookkeeper' is apparently the only word in the English language that contains a triple double, i.e. two of the same letters in a row three times!!

Hi Doug,

I knew that one! That's one for a quiz!

someone told me years ago, but you would be surprised when I am giving someone my email address, it has Bookkeeper in it, that they often can't spell the word, if they sound hesitate I always get them to read it back to me!

Hi Amanda, yes it most certainly is the season to be jolly

With the avatar why not just put a Christmas hat on the tiger and call him 'Santa Claws'

Always room for up and coming proteges lol.

It was via the Edinburgh fringe that I discovered Tim Vane, the King of puns in my opinion.  He won the award for best joke a few years ago with crime in multi storey car parks - wrong on so many levels.

Tim Vane spends far too much time in front of a mirror. The real king of puns is Tim Vine. :p

(Ahem. And after posting that I realised that's a homonym of vane - vain. But still...)
