  4. Shouldn’t #13 be MacLeod? As in MY clan, darling? I happen to think #7 is brilliant and I may make it my new mantra.

  5. To my wife: Brilliant!

    To everyone else: Don’t worry, I am married to her and I still only got 4 in 10

  6. P.S. #6 Americanized… “He’s a wall now” or actually meaning “He’s away now”

  7. This did not relax m y brain – I was totally confused! But I did get a few of them . . . I think.

    I’ve been catching up on your words, (missing). Brilliant. It might inspire me to do a few Geordie ones.

  16. I very seriously love that I don’t get them. I’d ask you to explain, but jokes always lose the funny in the explanation!

    What about this one…
    3 guys standing at a glasgow bus stop… which one is the doctor?..
