Until tomorrow Venn
Something for the weekend: two snaps of graffiti, displaying varying levels of imagination...

Hey Dirty, Tombola got ya money
Announcement:
"Attention penny pickers! Tombolablog is launching its own fiscal stimulus!
Over recent years I have developed a bit of a reputation for a nifty knack of spotting money on the street. And I'm not talking about the odd coin, I mean notes, and fairly regularly too. A clinical psychologist once told me that I must be depressed as I found cash as a result of looking down so much. That was during a social occasion and I wasn't paying for the consultation. There's actually a long-forgotten blog detailing my exploits in logging what I found over the course of a year*. So (and I'm sorry for putting this up 3 days late), I'll be totalling up any cash I find over the course of March. Quantitative easing of the pavement. My mum's doing the same and we'll see who has collected the most at the end of the month. And then buy a couple of packs of Space Raiders and a Freddo. If you too are happy to fish 2p coins out of dirty puddles by the side of the road then please join in!"
*I even had a grand plan to write to a paving firm to ask them what materials they use when paving the streets and I was going to link this to the old panto nugget that London is paved with gold etc. But that bastard Time Waster Letters has surely put paid to any innocent stunts like that. Pizza Express never wrote back neither.

Never one to let go of an idea in spite of having already choked the life out of it, here is another exciting bingo game!
We're big fans of Masterchef here - I have to confess being practically moved to tears a couple of years ago when one guy made some amazing cakes and the mega, multi-Michelin-starred chefs all told him how great he was and he started crying. Amazing. It may not be possible to increase my enjoyment of the show any further, but I'm going to give it a bash. Here are our bingo cards, which we shall be using during one of this week's heats...

BINGO DOESN'T GET TOUGHER THAN THIS!
