Nice one Buddy - well done! Appreciate the votes Fiery & Culmer.
Thanks for the challenge Jono - my theory is every day is April Fools Day - when I peruse my morning paper I read of all the crazy things happening in the World and wonder if they can be true!

Well, I'll be a cotton-headed ninny-muggins (note to self: Disney-themed clues seem to sell!). Thanks to mattrom, culmer, paul, geeker, chris and tyke for the votes for the winner and to FJ for the vote for the other one.

Thanks for hosting and the clips jono. There was a spaghetti tree Listener a few years back around this time of year:

One of many great songs with "fool" in the title.

Congrats buddy and thanks jono. Thanks for the various votes.

King Lear was the last play I ever went to, at the Old Vic. There were two rugby internationals in London that day (Wales were temporarily using Wembley), but had to endure such tedium, I walked out at the interval. I think there's a lot of Emperor's new clothes about Shakespeare.
