    Dick Emery...

    ...used to tell this joke, well a simple pun really, about the importance of commas:

    Girl, doing play, says: "What is this thing called, love?"

    Girl, corrected by director, says: "What is this thing called Love?"

    People currently residing in 'Boston baby', though probably too young to remember Mr Emery, should nevertheless note the huge importance commas play in our lives .

    Dick Emery was cool. I didn't see him the first time round, obviously, but they had repeats on some channel there about a year ago or so.

    "Oooh, you are awful. But I like you..."
