I beleive they have a man in a tracksuit up a very long ladder in Swindon. Bloody impressive!

Seriously though, did you hear about the furore recently when the Irish Deputy Prime Minister (and this is true - I swear) told a joke in private that went a little like this...
Her private aide came running into the room and declared that he had good news and bad news.
She asked what the bad news was and he drew a deep breath and said that the English had landed on the moon.
She then asked what the good news was - and he replied...
ALL OF THEM!
(In jest peoples - not intended to be racist nor offensive - like Irish jokes.)
