Meme

There is something both compulsive and stupid about memes.
I fill in the following, and what am I going to do with the information? Nothing
What are YOU going to do with the information? Nothing, or maybe cross me off your Christmas card list.
On the other hand, completing memes is marginally better than vandalising telephone kiosks or molesting postpersons (bearers of acres of junk mail).
So here goes:

With a face like that, you should have kippers for breakfast

Diddly da doo doo da dee da dee dee. Do you know it?

"If I catch anything interesting, I'll give you a call". (reference: moth trapping)
