favourite headline ever

Mr Sleigh resembles that bulgy eyed Russian man who was so popular a while back*

*And yet now I can't find a picture of him. Weird.

The Mail showed a change of heart on Saturday with 'Be Nice to Huntley'.

And today's candidate: STREET SWEEP TRUCK SUCKS UP DOG

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7456051.stm

So sad, but kind of funny, and like a macabre tongue-twister.

"Superlambanana missing from flock"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/7460567.stm

Sounds like a bit like a devout Sri Lankan church-goer has failed to turn up to a Sunday service, or something...

 

[Pestario]

There's a lot of coverage of these superlambananas on the bbc website. I suspect the journalists just love to use that word.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Today's Mirror urgently deserves some sort of Poor Taste Award. It's about the woman soldier who's been killed fighting the Taleban, and the headline is OUR AFGHAN HEROINE. :slanted:

this afternoon's Evening Standard billboards confused me a little:

'JOHN LESLIE RAPE QUIZ'

presumably this is a multiple-choice affair, and can be found next to the crossword and sudoko?

Haha, yeah, I always think this when they use 'quiz' in that way. There's probably a £20 book voucher for the first five correct entries...

Control: "Alpha Zulu 20, this object in the sky, did anyone have a look at it?"

Officer: "Yes, it's the moon. Over."

Quality

Control: "Alpha Zulu 20, this object in the sky, did anyone have a look at it?"

Officer: "Yes, it's the moon. Over."

Absolutely fantastic.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Control room staff have also had to with a stream of unsuitable calls made on the 999 number during an "extremely busy period", said a spokesman.

Another caller rang asking for help when they wanted to vote for Rhydian on the TV programme X-Factor.

*facepalm*

Appleton Family Finds Burglar Whistling, Covered in BBQ Sauce

http://www.myfoxnewisconsin.com/myf...n=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=VSTY&pageId=1.1.1

That's when Maurice came up the stairs. Maurice was wearing the man's hat and the woman's jacket. He was also covered in barbecue sauce.
Maurice told the homeowners he was hiding from the government and that his outfit was an urban disguise.

Oh what a wonderful world we live in.

 

[Mr. Tea]

I think you'll find my mad burglar beats your mad burglar:

Edit: damn, it was fine when I first posted it. Here it is from another source:

Teenager finds bat asleep in bra but thought it was a mobile phone.

Almost sounds like the dyslexic joke where a man walks into a bra.

She was sitting at her desk at work when she decided to investigate the strange movements in her underwear.

Last time I tried that...
