r_scribblesYou know what's fun?
- Singing along to songs in the style of Bob Dylan, or Alan Partridge, or a Cockney accent, or as loud and out of tune as possible.
- Talking like Hank Hill (I tell you what) or Fagin (my dear) or a 1880's Prospecter (Dagnabbit)
- Scat singing to the tune of 'Jingle Bells'.
- Doing a David Bowie impression and having it morph slowly into a Dalek, via Cary Grant.
- Using bizzaire cuss words - my personal favourite is 'Piss Wizards'.
- Miming along in a ludicrously OTT fashion to cheesey love songs. (That 'Cos I'm your Ladyyyyy' one is the best)
- Using the exclamation 'Tush Pish', as well as 'Well I'll go to the foot of my stair!'
- Asking children why they aren't at school, when it's the holidays.
- Dancing to other peoples' ringtones, and pretending to be disappointed when they answer.
- Rave dancing to the BBC News theme tune, or singing 'Channel 4! Channel 4!' to the Channel 4 news theme tune.
- Phoning a friend and pretending to be a little old lady trying to get through to Meals On Wheels. 'Hello, is that Meals On Wheels? Because I'm *Starving!* Can just have pudding today, please? Can you make sure that coloured lad doesn't deliver it though? It puts me off.'
What other free and simple ways are there for us to amuse ourselves out there?
