Gossip from around my way...

Just a silly idea for a game, which may not work out, but...

I thought I would tell you about my friend Mary.
Her relationship ended with that man she was so keen on, when she hid a rocket under his chair.

He went through the roof!

Mind you, the man before - the one in the brass band.
Well, she ended that..

She said he was always blowing his own trumpet.

Anyone else have any gossip from round their way?

The butcher should be arrested. His sausage is always in his window.

Her upstairs went out for a date with a rich man, expecting a day in his swimming pool.

When she arrived, they smoked cannabis, then he suddenly made her home home.

He left her high and dry.

There's a report of a big hole in our road.

The police are looking into it.

That woman from number 32 always says she only dates famous men. The latest, apparently, is Richard Wilson.

I don't believe it!!

I was helping my friends to renovate their house, when I told them I wasn’t a qualified Electrician, they were shocked

Sometimes Mayo neighs

That orthopaedic surgeon was dismissed because his waiting list was unacceptably long.

Bone idle if you ask me.

Our dentist is starting a garden centre

Because he likes in plants!!!

That young lad in the bakery had to leave.

He’d put a bun in the oven.

Fisherman got shut down. Scales were dodgy.

The local men are starting a knitting group. Their wives are in stitches.

My neighbour Alice popped round yesterday for a coffee.

She complained that my house was cold so I told her to stand in the corner where it's 90 degrees.

Teehee.

My neighbour has a pet tree. I asked "Why not a dog?" She said "The bark is quieter".

The beauty salon down the road is going to start doing botox injections.

That'll raise a few eyebrows.

Remember the violinst from our local orchestra? They've got a new man in to do their finances and told him its "too much for him".

Personally, I think he was on the fiddle.

Did you know the yoga instructors husband has been seeing some else?

She is furious. Well, she has bent over backwards for that man.

Nobody knows except you, but I'm actually a qualified hairdresser.

I'll do yours if you want, but keep it under your hat.

My step ladder is in the shed

I never knew my real ladder

Great aunt Hilda had a shock when someone broke in and stole her prosthetic limb.

They just legged it.

I’ve been told I’m condescending

( that means I talk down to people )

The swine flu helpline is just as bad.
I phoned that, and all I got was crackling.
