The monday morning drive to the office was made bearable today as it coincided with a Radio Four Extra broadcast of the latest episode of the long running comedy panel game, "I'm Sorry, I haven't a Clue".
The show is in its 66th series and never fails to produce a giggle or full-on belly laugh that gets me through the whole day, however trying and difficult my workload may prove to be.
One particular favourite is where the panel of comedy talent, many of whom are household names in the UK, suggest alternative definitions for everyday words and terms.
Called the Uxbridge Dictionary this has established itself with a cult following inviting new submissions to an ever expanding vocabulary.
