Circus tricks for dogs (Rousse)
In the time that I travelled up one floor in the hotel lift, I taught three stray dogs a range of impressive circus tricks.
Car lock-out at the agricultural show (Rousse)
Dressed only in my light white cotton nightie, I was locked out of my mother’s car at an agricultural show. I looked like a sad ghost wandering past the pens of livestock and craft stalls in the vast field, hunting … Continue reading

David Tennant is rude (Rousse)
David Tennant continued chattering even after I asked everyone, including him, to pay attention to my funny story. That morning I had woken up, dressed, and made my way to work – all without checking the time. Campus wasn’t open … Continue reading

Belle invents a new word
While trying to explain the enormous pumpkin I had accidentally grown, and which was now stored on the kitchen floor, I told my neighbour it was caused by ‘probundance’ – problematic abundance.
Party animal (Belle)
I woke up on a park bench and saw I was wearing a very ugly pair of bulky black shoes. I asked my companion what had happened. He explained that I had been ‘blackout drunk’ and had gone on a … Continue reading
Let’s get ready to rhumba (Belle)
I got into a jostling-style altercation with a Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer and I shouted “You just prance around on the telly for a living”.
