Dull And Boring Are In An Excited Tizzy
Here are dictionary definitions for two words:
Dull: Arousing no interest or curiosity; boring

But Dull are now doing their best to become more interesting. They are linking up with Boring! Yes, the Boring in Oregon, USA. So perhaps, yawn, they will become much more zzz zzz zzz zzz …
The Dull community councillor Marjorie Keddie has received a ‘Declaration of Sistership’ from the Oregon logging town of Boring – so that’s exciting news isn’t it? It’s certainly got Marjorie all in a tizzy, she said, “Everyone has been smiling at the prospect of the very eye-catching road sign this will inevitably require.
