Moving Mountains Burger Review: Just How Meaty is it? Lifestyle Reviews by luckyladder - December 16, 20180 I tried the new Moving Mountains burger that’s been making the headlines lately. It’s the meat-free burger that ‘bleeds’, but does it actually taste like meat? First off, I have an admission to make: I’m not a vegetarian. I did however try veganism for a whole year recently (that’s a whole ‘nother post though), but have since reverted back to my carnivorous ways. That’s not to say that I haven’t changed my diet at all: I now eat less meat than I used to, and since finding that there’s some good meat substitutes that I enjoy, have started incorporating a few more of these onto my plate. The new Moving Mountains burger is the latest to have found its way onto
The Worst Watches Ever: 8 Absolute Shockers Lifestyle by luckyladder - September 18, 2018October 13, 20180 When my son was born, I fancied buying myself a watch to commemorate the occasion, little did I know that I was about to stumble upon some of the worst watches ever made. Surfing around internet watch shops and watch forums, I'd hoped to find something classy, but also different enough to stand out from the usual suspects. It was in searching for something 'different' though that led me into the dark alleyways of horrendous horology. Just take a look at some of these abominations. My mouth dropped when I saw Steven Tyler's Rolex. Perhaps this fierce-looking Rollie is to blame for the Aerosmith frontman's slack chops too. But is it one of the worst watches ever? Water-resistant? Check. Shock-resistant? Check Gamma radiation-resistant? Hmm...dunno. I
Pun League Week 19 Christmas Special Results Pun League by luckyladder - December 27, 2017October 7, 20180 Week 19 Christmas Special!

Winner gets their profile pic drawn by the work experience lad. #hashtaggames #punleague #pun #jokes #joke pic.twitter.com/lcy224FYVp — Pun League (@punleague) December 14, 2017 A quick update on those all-important results this week. Tis the season to go to the pub, so I’ll have to actually get dressed soon I suppose. A veritable sleigh-load of festive puns were to be found under my Christmas tree this year! Luckily, a quick spray of foam cleaner later, and you can hardly tell now. There is still the faintest pong of wordplay in that spot though. This week we

No such lily-livered display from you lot though. I know that however impenetrable the pun challenge is that I throw at you, you’ll always find a weigh-in or a round it. Loads of “Nokia-out”-type puns this week. All cracking entries in their own right, but the sheer amount of them means that they don’t go on the leaderboard in an attempt to avoid any potential disputes. To

A lowish turnout for last week’s challenge has made me question what happened to the scores of leaguers from a few weeks ago. Perhaps it was a trickier challenge this week, maybe a few of you are allergic to cats, or perhaps my cavalier attitude to changing the day and time of the challenges has taken its toll. In an effort to claw back some of the leaguers we’ve lost along the way, myself and the work experience lad have scheduled a meeting to decide upon a set day and time for the weekly updates.

It’s been a week of getting hot under the collar sorting through all of your x-rated puns for this particular challenge. I’ve been elbow deep in wordplay so filthy that I had to shower twice after picking out the winners. Whilst willow-low your cheeky puns for this one week though. Yew can rest assured that with me at the elm, normal respectable service shall be resumed. Oak-K, oak-K, surely you’ll be sycamore tree puns by now, so I won’t let you pine for those all important results any longer. 1st place for 100 points and a rump steak Baby's

Life’s obviously treating you well. Wait, is that young Punston? Well, hasn’t he grown! He was knee-high to a low-kneed grasshopper last time I saw him. How’s the other half? Oh shit, you’ve split up, ever so sorry, I didn’t know. You get the gist, it’s been a while. In my defence, I’ve come back from the jaws of death battling the norovirus, having articulated lorries smashing into the back of the punmobile, and getting married. Of course, getting married wasn’t a near death experience, but

Not that this is a permanent change or anything. The men in suits upstairs trialed it with some focus groups though and said that Pun League is perfect post-Sunday lunch fodder. Well, that, and I had a busy mid-week. Apologies for the delay. In other news, runaway league leader A. Hutchinson's points total was found to be wrong! The prolific leaguer still sits pretty at the top with 560 points though despite his 40 point deduction. Was this simply a case of dodgy arithmetic at our end, or industrial-grade corporate

More old faces rejoined the fray this week, simultaneously warming my heart, and tickling my punny bone (a not unpleasant sensation, let me tell you). A warm welcome back to you all. With last week's challenge being so tough it required a PhD in wordplay studies to tackle, I was worried about getting the difficulty level right for this one. I shouldn't have worried about you lot; none of you needed any kelp in finding a ray around this fishy-looking picture. Never mind the pollock, here's the results: - 1st place for 100 points

Taking a 12 month sabbatical and then returning with THE HARDEST PUN LEAGUE CHALLENGE EVER. I consider myself a pun aficionado, but I couldn't think of anything at all to accompany this pic which looked absolutely ripe for spot of wordplay high jinks. Good job I've got you lot to do my thinking for me (though if I ever start thinking along the lines of some of the more leftfield submissions we received this week, I'll be sure to start taking the tablets again). A long lay-off and a herculean pun
