Punorama results

It's punorama results time.

We provide the story and you come up with the puns.

This week it was an art installation in the Melbourne International Arts Festival. A team of performers carefully weigh out quantities of rice to represent a range of human statistics - the populations of towns and cities, the number of doctors, the number of soldiers, the number of people born each day.

Each grain represents one person. The biggest pile - seen in the background - represents all the people living in China.

So, how did you get on? Spendidly, of course.

Taking their inspiration from the one and only Bruce Forsyth - and who wouldn't - are Andy Kitchen with Rice to see you; to see you rice. He was joined by Tim Knott in Trowbridge, Chris Jones in Nottingham and Sarah Caln in Edinburgh, who offered Rice to be you, to be you rice!

Using the old statistic line was Jamie Otton in Leeds and Lynsey Coulter in Derby with Damn rice and statistics and Ian Butcher in Preston with Rice, damn rice and statistics. Also, Will Mobberley in King's Lynn with Statisticians count on Uncle Ben.

An honourable mention for Mike Monk in London and Sarah Jay in Poole for the rather excellent Pilau of the community. But gold star goes to Danny Burke in Bristol for It's graining men. Top of the class.
