Humour

ON THE FRINGE OF BEING FUNNY!

T

he famous Edinburgh Fringe comedy festival takes place in August and if you’ve never been you may well wonder whether it is, indeed, actually funny.

Having been a few times I have to say that it’s a bit like any comedic situation. Some will find it hilarious and others will find it a bit dull - it really depends on your personal sense of humour.

To give you some examples - and let you see for yourself - we’ve managed to find what ‘experts’ consider the best twenty jokes told over the past ten years or so. We’ve also included the writer’s name just to shame them. See what you think!

1. “Never date a tennis player. Love means nothing to them.” – Matt Winnin 2. “My granny was recently beaten to death by my grandad. Not with a stick – he just died first” – Alex Horne 3. “I’m sure wherever my dad is, he’s looking down on us. He’s not dead, just very condescending.” – Jack Whitehall 4. ”When I was small I asked my mum what a couple was and she said: ‘Oh, two or three’. And she wondered why her marriage didn’t work.” – Josie Long 5. “I’ve decided to sell my Hoover … well, it was just collecting dust.” – Tim Vine

6. “Dave drowned, so at the funeral we got him a wreath in the shape of a lifebelt. Well, it’s what he would have wanted.” – Gary Delaney 7. “I needed a password eight characters long so I picked Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.” – Nick Helm 8. “My mother told me, you don’t have to put anything in your mouth you don’t want to. Then she made me eat broccoli, which felt like double standards.” – Sarah Millican

9. “You know who really gives kids a bad name? Posh and Becks.” – Stewart Francis 10. “I’m single by choice. Her choice.

No it was mutual. We came to the mutual agreement that she would marry her ex boyfriend.” – Brett Goldstein

See Page 30 for our Index of Advertisers

11. “My friend said she was giving up drinking from Monday to Friday. I’m just worried she’s going to dehydrate” – Kerri Godliman 12. “My dad is Irish and my mum is Iranian, which meant that we spent most of our family holidays in customs.” – Patrick Monahan

but I’ve quit smoking loads of times.” – Kai Humphries 17. ”Two aerials on a roof fell in love and got married. The wedding wasn’t great but the reception was fantastic.”

– Jimeoin

13. “Hedgehogs. Why can’t they just share the hedge?” – Dan Antopolski

18. “I heard a rumour that Cadbury is bringing out an oriental chocolate bar, but it could be just a Chinese Wispa.” – Rob Auton

14. “I just deleted all the German names off my phone. It’s Hans-free.” – Darren Walsh

19. “I’ve just been on a once-in-alifetime holiday. I’ll tell you what, never again.” – Tim Vine

15. “Miley Cyrus. You know when she was born? 1992. I’ve got condiments in my cupboard older than that.” – Lucy Beaumont

20. “I once lost a chess game to a computer, but I got my own back. It couldn’t match me at kick boxing!” Craig Mulhearn

16. “People say I’ve got no willpower

We rest our case!

eep on with the dead heading and watering of all hanging baskets and containers. Adding feed once a week will extend the flowering season and produce better plants. Cut back the foliage from hardy geraniums once they have finished flowering as this should give a second flush of flowers later.

flower heads of ornamental grasses as these will give winter interest.

Dead head border plants such as roses, penstemons and bedding to extend their flowering into the autumn. Prune climbing and rambler roses once they have finished flowering unless they are a repeat flowering variety or have attractive hips.

Towards the end of the month sow hardy annual seeds directly into the borders to over winter and produce earlier blooms the following spring. Keep on top of the weeds with regular hoeing of annual weeds but use a glyphosate based weedkiller for perennial weeds to kill the roots as well as the leaves. Give hedges their final trim of the year. Top up water features and ponds and aerate the water during very hot weather.

Fruit and Vegetables

Pot up any strawberry runners that have rooted. Tie in new growth on blackberries and other hybrid berries. Continually pick

See Page 30 for our Index of Advertisers summer fruit as soon as it ripens. Any surplus can be frozen or made into jam.

Sow quick maturing salad crops such as lettuce, radish, rocket etc. Cut back flowered herbs like marjoram to get a second flush.

Pot up some herbs to bring indoors for use during the autumn and winter.

Continue to pick mature crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, courgettes and beans to encourage further fruits and to prevent toughness. Put straw or cardboard underneath marrows to keep them off the earth which can cause rotting. Lift onions, shallots and garlic and leave to dry.

Wildlife Birds still need feeding at this time of year.

Hanging bird feeders are best placed over a hard surface such as paving and decking so that any dropped seeds can be easily swept up. This avoids the problem of vermin.

If you have a spare piece of bare soil, leave it to become a dust bath for the birds in dry weather. If you are lucky enough to have a hedgehog in your vicinity try to encourage it into your garden by putting out some food. Do not put out bread and milk but instead some cat or dog food.

Finally if you have any spare time and there is a fairly long dry spell forecast, give your fences and sheds a coat of preserver.

Looking Good This Month Cosmos Atrosang - Feathery foliage with chocolate smelling flowers.

Cotinus Coggygria - The smoke bush.

Clouds of tiny flowers above purple leaves.

Crocosmia - Montbretia. Yellow, orange or red flowers with spiky leaves.

Kniphofia - Red hot poker. Tall with brilliantly coloured flowers.

Lathyrus Odoratus - Sweet Pea. Annual climber with highly scented bright flowers.

Lavatera Olbia - Shrubby mallow. Large shrub with open white or pink flowers.

T���K L CAL ��Y L CAL We’re really lucky... our local area is full of wonderful small businesses

There are heaps of reasons to buy from local companies Here are 5 big reasons for using your local businesses: 1. They know their customers Local businesses understand people in the area. They’re quick to react to what their customers want and are able to meet the changing needs of the local population. This means they can offer you relevant and interesting products and services rather than the larger, more commercial companies that generally provide the same things no matter where you live.

2. They create jobs Shops in our towns create jobs within the local community. By purchasing from these smaller businesses, you’re helping to grow employment opportunities which in turn, makes the area a better place to live and work.

3. The experience There’s nothing quite like the personal touch that comes with the customer service in a local shop. They get to know you and can offer products and services that best meet your needs. Plus, they have an authenticity that the bigger brands can’t usually match. What’s not to like?!

4. They’re better for the environment Local businesses often source their products locally, which helps to reduce their carbon footprint.

5. Great deals - you’ll be surprised!

Don’t assume that chain stores have the best deals - local businesses can have competitive pricing that you might not expect. Before you hit Google, take the time to have a look around your area and see what’s on offer.

Which local businesses do you love?

Business Digital and Print - The Ideal Marketing Mix! Digital or print. Which is better?

This is the wrong question. Instead, we should be asking how they can each serve as a launchpad for the other. Digital and print go together like fish and chips and can be a really powerful marketing combination to connect with potential customers.

Here, we’ll talk about why you should be bridging the gap between digital and print and how you can use them to your advantage.

So, what are the benefits of this strategy?

The internet is chock-a-block with ads.

Social media, search engines, emails… you name it! Combining a printed ad with your digital efforts can help to make your brand stand out and give it more prominence. It means that by covering more bases and having more reach, you’re giving people the best chance of seeing your ad which can build brand awareness.

Simply put, multiple touchpoints results in a better chance of conversions!

Here are a few ways to make it effective: Get consumer feedback Maybe your sales are booming, maybe they’re not. Either way, if you’re using both digital and print mediums, gathering feedback from consumers can help you pinpoint what part of your marketing is working.

By asking people what prompted them

to get in touch, visit your site, or do whatever other action they performed, you can begin to understand their behaviour. It could have been a social media post that they found when scrolling through Facebook or it could be a printed ad that they saw in a local publication.

Use calls to action (CTAs) to drive traffic Compelling CTAs can help to get your message across and ultimately, encourage people to take action. That action could be visiting a specific page on your website, calling your number to book an appointment or visiting your shop in person, etc.

A CTA can be placed in a digital format or in print. You could experiment with different wording here and see which ones get the most engagement.

Examples of calls to action include ‘Claim your free XXX’, ‘Talk to us!’ and ‘Buy now (then give them a reason to)’.

Come to life with QR codes and personalised URLs QR codes can be placed, well, anywhere really! Whether you’re printing on t-shirts, magazine-type publications,

See Page 30 for our Index of Advertisers

or window displays, they’re relatively straightforward to implement and even easier to track. They’re also convenient for on-the-go customers - they just need to scan it using their mobile.

This kind of data can give you an interesting insight into how people are interacting with your business and how, when and where they’re connecting with you.

Working best together In summary, by creating a cross-platform marketing strategy and analysing the findings, you can better gauge performance and the behaviour of your consumers. This will help you to develop creative approaches to achieve your business goals.

Healthy Eating LEMON MERINGUE PIE

I

f you eat healthily most of the time, you can afford to give yourself a treat now and then, that is when I make this delicious Lemon Meringue Pie. There are not many ingredients and it’s easy to make. You can make your own shortcrust pastry or buy shop bought.

Recipe Pastry: 6oz plain flour, 3oz butter (or margarine), water to bind.

Filling: 2 large lemons (with the zest and juice separated), 10 fluid oz water, 3 tablespoons cornflour, 2oz sugar, 2 large egg yolks, 1½ oz butter or margarine Topping: 2 large egg whites, 4oz sugar To make the pastry, rub the butter into the flour until in resembles breadcrumbs. Add water bit by bit until you have a firm dough.

Roll out the pastry to fit a pie/flan tin.

Heat the oven to gas mark 6. Bake the pastry blind (this means putting greaseproof paper over the pastry and adding some baking beans so that the pastry doesn’t shrink or bubble up), bake it for 10 mins with paper on and then 10 mins with the paper and beans taken out. Take it out of the oven and reduce to oven heat to gas mark 2.

Make the filling – mix the cornflour, sugar and some of the water to a paste. Set aside.

Pour the rest of the water and lemon zest into a pan, heat to boiling and then pour in the cornflour mixture – stirring rapidly so no lumps are formed. Heat for 1 minute.

Remove from the heat and whisk in the egg yolk, lemon and butter. Spread this into the pastry case.

Make the topping – whisk egg whites and sugar until it forms stiff peaks.

Put the topping into the flan case on top of the filling, use the back of a spoon to tap on the topping to form little peaks. Cook for 45 minutes.

Football

THE EUROS WAS A GREAT TASTER BUT NOW FOR THE REAL THING!

S

o many emotions… excitement, anticipation, pride, anguish and ultimately - and perhaps inevitably - disappointment. The Euros had them all and a lot more besides, but the team gave us a lot of pleasure over the four weeks and performances up to – and including – the final can be seen as a positive stepping stone on the way to hopefully greater things next year.

Sadly, though, it was once again the ignorant and disgusting minority that became the major topic of conversation when it was all over. There was little doubt that after sixteen months of enforced lockdown these utter morons were going to emerge and create the kind of troubled scenes we had to endure at the final. But with almost fifty arrests we can only hope the authorities have the courage to make a vivid example with at the very least life bans from football. The correct punishment would hopefully show the rest of their

peers that decent people despise their twisted attitudes. Sadly, though, history will probably show they once again got away with it. We can, however, hope!

At ‘Boro, meanwhile, we have at least seen a little bit of progress in the attempt to rebuild the side for hopefully a competitive season, and though it might only have been Bishop Auckland, new striker Uche Ikpeazu’s goal in his first match must surely have given fans a glimpse of what might be if he can show that kind of shooting power when we kick off in earnest at Fulham. Combine Ikpeazu’s goal with the only ‘Boro goal we’ve seen from another potentially exciting recruit – Sammy Ameobi – and we have a couple of possible match winners. They are, however, the kind of low value signings that are indicative of the current financial restraints not only at ‘Boro but also throughout the football league. But Neil Warnock’s ability to attract free or bargain basement players who

Luton when at 2-1 up with seven minutes remaining Assombalonga hit his penalty into row Z before Luton equalised a couple of minutes later.

But at this stage does any of that really matter? The most important thing is that – barring a disaster with the new found freedom – football as we know it will be back and I’m really looking forward to that first game at the Riverside on the 14th of August v Bristol City. Having fans back is going to be tremendous and I’m pretty sure Neil Warnock is looking forward to it even more than we are!

What really matters is that the past year has shown us all how much we miss the Saturday afternoon anticipation, thrills, after match discussions and arguments that epitomise what live football is all about.

The excitement of its return almost makes results irrelevant. Not completely, though. .... Come on ‘Boro!!!!!

share a combination of experience and potential are one of his main attractions.

The important thing is to bring out that potential on a reasonably consistent basis.

And while it may not be Lionel Messi, it’s possible we may also be able to enjoy watching an Argentinian international if Martin Payero finally puts pen to paper over the next few weeks or so. His presence will certainly give us Boro fans an extra interest in the Olympic football tournament whenever he dons his country’s shirt!

Perhaps the biggest coincidence in the forthcoming season is that for the fourth consecutive campaign we are beginning with a televised away game in the capital.

Fulham will join Millwall, Luton and Watford as the fourth on the list but probably the most disturbing aspect is that we failed to win any of the games to date. OK, we were very unlucky at Watford last year having been the better team for most of the game, and we should certainly have beaten
