The Joke of the Year Award goes to Tim Vine in London at the Lafta Awards banquet. Award is given to the year’s best one-liner joke or puns. Below is the winner and then five more from Tim Vine. Can you top these?

WINNER — Conjunctivitis.com – that’s a site for sore eyes

Crime in multi-storey car parks. That is wrong on so many different levels.

Eric Bristow asked me why I put superglue on one of his darts. I said you just can’t let it go can you?

I saw this advert in a window that said: “Television for sale, £1, volume stuck on full.” I thought, “I can’t turn that down.”

I’ve just been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. I’ll tell you what, never again.

Do you ever get that when you’re half way through eating a horse and you think to yourself, “I’m not as hungry as I thought I was.”

New information has surfaced regarding the sale of Heartsong to Harlequin.

In my post on Friday I made the assumption that the sale included all the backlist and the currently contracted titles. This was reflected in point #5 in the post.
