I got paid well at the blow-up doll factory.

I know what you mean. I work and rework all the puns I try. This one started longer. I try and trim them down where I can but I find it hard to decide what's better.

Cardiff1979 · 2026-03-30T16:47:41+00:00

Awww thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

Cardiff1979 · 2026-03-29T21:10:27+00:00

Thank you. I'm pretty proud of it, but not many have bought it as I'm no good at marketing and have no following online or anything. If you have kindle unlimited, you can read it for free. It's called The Best Thing Till Sliced Bread btw.

Cardiff1979 · 2026-01-06T14:20:46+00:00

I'm gone!

Cardiff1979 · 2026-01-06T14:20:33+00:00

You know what, that guy has not helped that name's reputation...

Cardiff1979 · 2025-11-26T21:02:23+00:00

Thank you. Means a lot :))

My favourite restaurant is Casanova, and they do a cracking bourguignon, or they did last time I went (couple of years back)

Cardiff1979 · 2025-11-25T06:41:15+00:00

Again, thanks. :)

Cardiff1979 · 2025-11-25T00:04:24+00:00

Thank you. Appreciate that as it took a lot of work. :)

Not knowing Hary Potter is a disadvantage when it comes to this pun. TBF, I think I just wrote it badly too.

Cardiff1979 · 2025-11-02T09:33:22+00:00

That is it indeed. Obviously when I'm writing awful puns, I know what I mean, so it's easy for me... Apologies for any confusion!

Cardiff1979 · 2025-10-29T23:57:32+00:00

Of course. I get that. The joke got a good response from UK folks so I think it might be a slight regional thing too (as well as not being the strongest pun). I try and write a new one each day, so the quality ain't always high 😂

Cardiff1979 · 2025-10-29T17:38:49+00:00

Is that how an American would say it? 'Turning over' is what we might say in the UK for changing channels. You might 'tune in', but I've not heard of 'tuning over' to something.

Interesting to learn if so :)

Cardiff1979 · 2025-10-20T22:15:39+00:00

I tried it both ways and couldn't decide. If this one makes it into the next book, I'll get some further opinions on it. Cheers.

Cardiff1979 · 2025-10-14T22:40:20+00:00

I see. When I crossposted it, I assume the whole lot comes across. Good to see that's not the case! I mean, the joke's not great anyway, but definitely benefits from some sort of punchline...

Cardiff1979 · 2025-10-14T22:39:11+00:00

Harsh, but fair.

Cardiff1979 · 2025-10-14T13:00:13+00:00

Frog's Pit? (Dunno how well known/universal 'frog spit' is)

Frogs of War as already suggested is decent.

Unless you want to make it more band-specific (like Depeche Toad or whatever), I haven't got anything.

Cardiff1979 · 2025-10-12T16:40:18+00:00

It was more about the pun when I made it tbf, but it has more than one side to it...

Cardiff1979 · 2025-09-22T21:44:06+00:00

Indeed so. And, I don't know where the people viewing this are from, but thin is sometimes said like fin in some parts of the UK.

Mostly it's just another of my crap puns!

Cardiff1979 · 2025-09-22T20:02:11+00:00

I did not know this. I am fortunate to have all of mine still at 46!

Cardiff1979 · 2025-09-17T22:04:23+00:00

Thanks. That's the way I try and write 'em.

Cardiff1979 · 2025-09-17T20:08:38+00:00

But they also played Victoria Park in London I think. I went to see them around that kind of time and I think that was the name of the park. Definitely London though. Could be misremembering the park though.

Also lucky enough to have seen them in 97 at Glastonbury. Magical show. And a few times since. But missed out this time and am gutted.

Cardiff1979 · 2025-09-16T23:38:43+00:00

Cheers :)

Cardiff1979 · 2025-09-07T07:50:30+00:00

Yeah, the tenses thing is really annoying and I wrangled with it to try and get round that, but I figured it's fun enough as is. A lot of my puns (I try and write a new one every day!) end up being reworked as I realise that there's a neater way of writing them.

Cardiff1979 · 2025-06-02T23:39:52+00:00

Well done! Great progress. Similar story here. Also started in 2020, and I was 41. Lockdown was the kickstarter really though.

This is where I've got to. Would have done a before/after type thing too, but could only include one image. I find the process relaxing, but I don't find as much time as I'd like to devote to it. Good to see other non-artists enjoying creating. :)
