Punorama

ticket.203.jpg It's time for the Punorama results.

This week we asked you to put your thoughts to news that Christmas has come early in towns across Cornwall. A mystery man has been paying for people's shopping and handing out free lottery tickets. All while dressed in a pink fairy outfit including tutu, tiara, wings and wand and tights.

Each time he helps out he leaves a card with a picture of a fairy and a note saying: "You'll be hearing a lot about me - the Hairy Christmas Fairy."

So how did you get on? Well, some of you more than rose to the challenge.

The national lottery theme conspired to inspire many of you with It could be tutu and Truro-millions coming from Helene Parry. It Could Be Yule! cried DR and Catriona Smith.

The nicely observed In hirsute of happiness came from Jon Speechley.

Cornish place names also made a good showing, as Graeme puts it, our man is displaying The Truro meaning of Christmas.

Ho, ho ho, the level of comedy was high this week. He's Snow Scrooge observed Nigel Macarthur, Fairy's a jolly good fellow! declared Gareth Jones of Anglesey. Meanwhile Valerie Falconer just felt the fancy dress altruist was Tutu generous.

Some of you questioned the sanity of a middle aged man in a fairy pink outfit giving things away. He's Christmas Crackers said Stig.

But the winner comes via inspiration from 80s band Dire Straits. Thanks to the improbably named Ivor Wand who contributed Money from nutters and your 'tix for Fowey.

If your effort didn't quite make the grade, it has been published in the comments section below.
