The ball of wool is a ball of wool?

Am I getting the hang of it?; 13 March 2012 at 15:01
Uncle Dick Madeley said...: Well, yes, but ideally the two things have to be on the same line and with a number. For example:

5. Richard Hammond lives in Wales but the ball of wool only holidays there.

Good times!; 14 March 2012 at 11:54

About Richard

An acknowledged expert on every subject, Richard was the host of the UK’s most popular tea-time talk show before he propelled satellite TV into a new era with his show on 'Watch'. Sadly, that era was akin to the 'Dark Ages' but with lower viewing figures. He now divides his time between radio and voice-over work for a range of high performance mobility scooters. His hobbies include skiing, water sports, breaking endurance records, and creating world-shattering inventions in his garden shed.

Richard's dislikes are many and include squirrels, tap dancers, turnips, rosy cheeked farmers, hostage situations, El Greco, Bulgaria, Tony Robinson, ear wax, the word ‘humungous’, Tetley tea bags, North Korea, Eric Clapton, suffragettes, mimosa, beard trimmers, duck tape, manilla envelopes, and 60s pop sensation Lulu.

He lives in London with his wife Judy.

For purposes of parody, 'Richard' and 'Richard' are two separate beings. Of course I love the man as though he were me. But this is all my work. Hands off. And that means you, Sunshine!
