I put the 'cool' in 'convoluted'. Well, actually I put the 'convol' in 'convoluted' so you just have to take the 'nv' bit out of 'convol', and push the 'co' and the 'ol' together to make 'cool'. www.pauleggleston.com My book: amzn.eu/d/9DrMuOS

I've got a new job doing the staff rota for the monkey enclosure at the zoo, but I've never done anything like it before and now I'm really struggling with chimp roster syndrome.

Thinking of putting on a street festival literally anywhere outside of East Yorkshire and calling it the Not In Hull Carnival.

Can someone edit this Wikipedia entry and replace 'silicon wafers' with 'Sylvester Stallone'? Just so I can pull it up in a restaurant and say 'Waiter, there's a Sly in my FOUP'. Please and thank you x

I've had a complaint that I left my collection of rulers floating on the lake with no indication of where I can be found. So I’m bringing in a whole raft of measures to address it. #LunchPun

The stars of Guardians of the Galaxy all had to do their own action scenes apart from Groot, who had a stump double.

- There's too many people coming to my party, and I don't know who to disinvite. Either that guy who stole all my World Cup stickers, or the one who played the lead fish in your Disney stage adaptation. - Panini meanie? My Nemo? - I'd rather put a *bit* more thought into it.

I should never have bought that paddock for our hearing impaired pony. My wife says it's grounds for deaf horse.

My will states that all my money should go towards the establishment of a country populated only by muntjacs and stripy burrowing mammals. But I've just spent most of it on a vintage negligee, which leaves very little to deer badger nation.

I suspect that my next door neighbour is a lycanthrope. He drives an old, battered milk float, which may seem quite endearing but he's just a wolf in cheap slow thing.

- Sean Connery once encouraged me to steal a cigarette receptacle made out of a very heavy metal. - Lead ashtray? - No, I didn't do it.

If a lorry driver ever cuts me up, I get my revenge by commanding my large dog to ignore them. It doesn't sound that bad, but it's actually a weapon of mastiff truck shun.

My family were very poor growing up, and I had some terrible birthday presents. One year I got a cuddly ape, stolen from a French car. But sometimes you just have to take voiture gibbon.

Whilst this is, by some stretch, the darkest show I've been involved with, it's also been an unbridled joy from start to finish, and I've had the best time working alongside this brilliant cast and crew. Thank you so much to everyone involved in this incredible production, and the amazing audiences!

I took my whole family to the sleep clinic because I can't drop off before my wife, she can't before my son, and he can't before my daughter. It turns out we've all gotta sleep in dis order.

My wife has thrown me out but I'm still allowed to speak to the kids. I'm living in a phone box, which isn't much, but it's somewhere to call home.

When I'm mixing a particular drink, I look up every recipe I can find, and take an average of the recommended measures. I make a mean cocktail.

Since Jon Bon Jovi qualified as a veterinarian, he's been entirely focused on engineering new creatures by cross‑breeding snails, slugs and eels, carefully charting their overlaps on a whiteboard. He's a Slippery Venn Vet.
