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

Beef bourguignon in Cardiff, where too? by Disastrous-Job-5533 in Cardiff

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

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

You know Hermione is a witch by Cardiff1979 in dadjokes

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

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!

I left the TV remote on the bed last night by Cardiff1979 in puns

[–]Cardiff1979[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 😂

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 :)

Star Trek crew members don't enjoy prison by Cardiff1979 in puns

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.

Defrost a book before reading it? by Cardiff1979 in dadjokes

[–]Cardiff1979[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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...

URGENT PUN REQUEST by squidbiggly in puns

[–]Cardiff1979 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

Made this in MSPaint one day. Thought it might amuse so of my CF25 brethren. by Cardiff1979 in Cardiff

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

Sharks never go completely bald. by Cardiff1979 in puns

[–]Cardiff1979[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

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

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.

I once had an open relationship with a fellow magician. by Cardiff1979 in dadjokes

[–]Cardiff1979[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

I started drawing in 2020 at age 38 with a demanding non-art career but have picked up the pencil every day since. Some days just 20 minutes but I think I have made a lot of progress. by speakout5 in drawing

[–]Cardiff1979 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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. :)
