Punorama
It's that time of the week - Punorama results. This week it was the story of the in its crosshairs.
The poor Spanish: they may have one of the oldest national anthems, but for all these years they've been reduced to humming along at international football matches and Olympic medal ceremonies while rival fans can belt out a chorus of patriotic sentiments.
Anyway, temper your pity - the Spanish are on the hunt for a verse or two, and, besides, when it comes to sports like tennis, presumably the thrill of seeing your man towards a Grand Slam final rather assuages any embarrassment from being left silent.
So? Inspirational. The Spanish might be lost for words, but you weren't.
Kicking off is Gareth with the simple, but oh so good, Add verse situation. Hotly followed by the Mike Harper offering, A Spaniard in the Works. We were also tickled by The Silence of the Juans sent in by Simon Rooke and Keith Edkins.
But it's the puns inspired by the My Fair Lady song The rain in Spain that deserve the gold star this week. Bryn Roberts starts things off with the glorious The refrain in Spain feels mostly a little plain, while Michael Daw came up with The refrain in Spain is thought far too plain. Rebecca Plumb sent in The refrain of Spain fails plainly to entertain, while Simon Rooke suggested The mundane refrain, it fails to entertain and Matt went for The Refrain in Spain Falls Muted on the Game .
But our favourite is Nigel Macarthur's offering, The Strain to Refrain Falls Mainly On Spain. Bravo.
