Dull Men's Club - Celebrating the Ordinary

Where dull men – and women who appreciate
dull men – share thoughts and experiences about ordinary things

We don't get out much
It's OK to be dull
No matter where you go, there you are
Born to be mild
We're giving a good name to a four-letter word
We don't try to keep up with the Joneses (who are the Jonses, anyway?)
Go for glitz and glam?  Why?

The race is on now that Richard III was found in a Leicester car park — to find out where King Alfred is around Winchester (as suggested on Radio 4 Today).

Early speculation is that he may be under

1. Poundland
2. Bar End Recycling Centre
3. Light of Bengal
4. Andrew Smith & Son's office loo.
5. Still propped up in a corner at the Wykeham Arms

What do you reckon?

  • As I live in Hyde I wish to claim his "grave" outside the ruins of Hyde Abbey is really him. I want a full state funeral in the Abbey, attended by the royal family and Hyde renamed a City.

    PS Should dull men be involved in a "race"? Sounds far too exciting

  • Michael . . . you're right about racing being exciting . . . too exciting for us at times . . . on our Races page, however, you'll find races suitable for us . . . snail races for example . . . as for a race to find King Alfred's remains, we might merely sit back and watch others do this.
