Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week:

1.Supervacaneous: over the top

2.Spissid: thick

3.Splurgundy : a sparkling red wine from Australia


Gyles' replaces his weekly poem with funny epitaphs that he has come across:

1. Here lies the body of our Anna,
Done to death by a banana.
It wasn't the fruit that laid her low,
But the skin of the thing that made her go.

2. Here Lies Lester Moore,
Four Slugs from a 44,
No Les, No More

3. Here lies my wife: here let her lie!
Now she’s at rest, and so am I.
