Madonna and Guy Ritchie Split
‘They have thrown in the towel apparently...’
...but they are still arguing over the plates and crockery.
‘Apparently, Madonna goes to bed covered in cream wearing a plastic bag...’
There’s no truth to the rumour that the housekeeper once used her to ice a
cake.
Icelandic Bank Collapses
Taking British People’s Savings
‘This is the country that, in summer, has 24 hour days...’
That will give them more chance to look for our money.
Politics
‘Gordon Brown famously said, “no more boom and bust”...’

---

There’s certainly no more boom and now he’s got rid of the women from the
cabinet there’s not much bust either.

---

‘President Obama has been seeking ex-president Clinton’s advice on how to be a
good president...’
So there’ll be no Cuban cigars and definitely no chatting to the interns.
Science
‘The Large Hadron Collider has been built to drive particles round at high speed
and crash them into each other...’
It cost millions but you could have got a woman to drive and they’d’ve
crashed soon enough.
Royal Family
‘Camilla Parker Bowles supporters stress how natural she is...’
And I thought she had plastic surgery to look like that!
I think that’s a good crop of jokes, so I hand out the troubleshooting guide and
