Pun Fun returns for a quick outing before the summer holiday season starts (although the holiday weather has arrived early, at least for those of us in Europe).
I thought about picking the World Cup as a topical theme but I suspect there is too much of that happening already for some folks. So instead I have chosen a theme that is even more global:
CAPITAL CITIES
We will accept entries using the capital cities of any of the countries, territories, dependencies, non-sovereign states and even entities whose sovereignty is disputed that appear on this list.
As it says in the introduction "the capitals included on this list are those associated with states or territories listed by the international standard ISO 3166-1", so if you have any quibbles please take them up directly with the International Organization for Standardization (contact details here).
To avoid upsetting our many Scottish readers we will follow the example of FIFA and treat the four constituent parts of the United Kingdom as separate countries. We also endorse FIFA's recommendation that you take regular hydration breaks while punning to reduce the risk of your brain cells overheating. Unlike FIFA we don't take bribes (although you are welcome to try).
Entries are to be sent to leggies27@hotmail.co.uk by Sunday 5 July. Voting opens next Monday.
Good luck everyone. I'm looking forward to seeing what you can come up with for Bandar Seri Begawan, Yamoussoukro, Ngerulmud or any one of the three Georgetowns (all named after the twice winner and patron saint of puns I believe).
