Not the 1st time I've been on it....when I talk, the world listens!
Anyway, time to open today's door on The Advent Calendar of Doom:
This is the season of office parties, which reminds me - at last year's, when the meal was finished,

I said, "No, I'm not a violent man, you have 'em."
And the return of The Burning Question:
Die Hard - IS it a Christmas film??
One more opening of The Christmas Cracker of Doom;
I got this out of a cracker on Xmas Day, sent it to Tony Blackburn & he said it on his
Boxing Day show; with a name-check for yours truly.
Q: Why did the turkey join a band?
A:Because he had the drumsticks.
Time once more to don my velvet smoking jacket & channel Cyril Fletcher off of That's Life to say -
I am indebted to Rs fan Dan Wells (dannyboyUrs off of the old offy mb) for this ribbed tickler, what he put on Facebook:
I've been invited to a combined Burns Night/ Chinese New Year party.

Wasn't going to go at first, but they twisted my arm.

Time to once more channel the late Cyril Fletcher off of 'That's Life,'

My pet budgie
Smiling at me.
Got a backlog of Easter jokes, courtesy of Tony Blackburn
I stepped on a hot cross bun & got an electric shock - a currant ran up my leg.
Went to the doctor, I said I feel like a chocolate Easter bunny;

I don't know if you listen to the Tony Blackburn Show -
