Allan Jay with his story Christmas Angel

It's the lead up to Christmas and Shaun is looking for love in all the wrong places. With the help of his friend Matt he works his way towards the one present he'd like, but he's in for a surprise. Who will bring him some Christmas cheer? Will it be Santa Claus, an Elf, Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, or a Christmas Angel that he knows so well?

Allan's Special Christmas Memory

Christmas for me is about family, food and fun and I like to spend the day overdosing on all three. My favourite part of the season though is the tree. I like to make an effort on decorating the tree so that it's bright, sparkly and just the right side of gaudy.

Mr RJ's Crap Joke Section

WOW!  What a weekend!  RJ and I went out for our annual Christmas party with friends which was held in our local Theatre and we bumped into Brian May (guitarist from British Rock band Queen).  I'm not usually star struck but I understand the fan girling thing now :).  He let me shake his hand, bow before him and he seemed like a thoroughly decent chap but I can tell you that it made my evening. 

I had to spend Sunday helping family with some urgent unplanned DIY and of course the night before I had a bit too much to drink.  Couldn't drive so had a three mile walk home..long story plus I have the cold kindly donated by my son. Something had to give and unfortunately it was the jokes. I did manage the competition however :).

Well the jokes are back tonight and I'll give you a bumper helping to make up. BUT they are possibly the worst so far. First for Nancy 

How do you shoot a blue elephant?
With a blue elephant gun, of course.

How do you shoot a red elephant?
No, not with a red elephant gun. You strangle him until he turns blue, and then shoot him with a blue elephant gun.

How do you shoot a green elephant?
Tell him a dirty joke so he turns red, strangle him until he turns blue, and then shoot him with a blue elephant gun.

How do you shoot a yellow elephant?
Ever seen a yellow elephant?!!!

Why are elephants wrinkled?
Have you ever tried to iron one?

What lies at the bottom of the sea and shivers?
A nervous wreck

What do they sing at a snowman's birthday party?

Three: the left ear, the right ear, and the final front ear.

A woman walks into a bar and asks for a double entendre…
So the barman gives her one.

I went to the Canary Islands on holiday this year, didn't see one canary.
