As I sit shivering in my garden office, debating with my wife whether it is time to put on the central heating, I try to conjure up the halcyon days of the summer of 2024 when we languished in the garden, cold beer in hand and the traditional handkerchiefs knotted round our heads. Except that […]
“An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman walk into a pub…” or so the joke goes. If you’re old enough to remember this staple gag of English standup, you’ll know that it got its laughs from the Irishman doing or saying something hilariously silly.
