christ that was shit!



Still like Wiltshire sounds one from a few years ago saying Swindon and Oxford were in talks about a merger. STFCTownenda rang me at sparrows fart that morning in a right tizz! :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

April Fools is a bit shit in general isn't it?

How did you pick it out from the midst of all their other stories that are inadvertently bollocks?

Haha it was not a merger it was a groundshare over Farringdon way, needless to say I am a spoon.

What was it?

eugh theres something on Yahoo about its going to rain snails tomorrow - today is making me feel ill

yes - for the benefit of those who do not have the adver, can you enlighten us?

oh, something along the lines of an image of the magic roundabout appearing on a slice of toast. Hilarious isn't it?

and here it is!!!

YOUNG Swindon cook Thalia Comus is wondering what to do with a piece of toast bearing a mark that uncannily resembles the Magic Roundabout.

eBay is a possible final destination for the bizarre item, which popped out of the toaster as she prepared a mid-evening snack for her mum, dad and sister at their Rodbourne Cheney home.

Previous peculiar toast sales on the internet auction site have included an American slice allegedly showing the Virgin Mary, which went for $28,000 (about £21,000) in 2006.

And an Essex artist called Lennie Payne (www.toast2art.co.uk) makes a healthy living by selling works he creates with bread, a knife and a blowlamp.

Perhaps because the Comus family arrived in Swindon from their previous home in Hampshire only last month, Thalia, 15, wasn’t aware of the significance of the freak mark until dad George, 38, a teacher, said it reminded him of a road sign he passed every day.

Recalling the evening, Thalia said: “At first I thought the mark looked like an amoeba or a jellyfish or something like that.

“I was about to butter it with the rest when my dad said the mark on it looked just like the shape on the roadsign before he got to the Magic Roundabout on his way to work every morning.

“Lots of other people have said it’s the Magic Roundabout, too, so I’m keeping the slice in the freezer until I decide what to do with it.”

Funnily enough, none of the seven other slices of toast in the batch made by Thalia had any strange marks whatever, and nor have any made since.

Obvious possible explanations include the effect on the taster of being jolted around in the removal van during the move from Hampshire, but Thalia doubts this.

“Otherwise more than one slice would have been affected, and that hasn’t happened,” she explained.

“Looking out for more Magic Roundabouts in the toast means breakfast will never be the same again, though!”

Yeah, thats pretty bad.

Dont know why the media bother, the only half decent one was Alan whickers spaghetti tree 40 years ago, so lame now.

The Mirror's sports section have got one today about Reebok launching their AF1 kickabout kit - a ball with a chip in it, and a jumper with a built-in sensor to detect when the ball has crossed the jumper for park kickabouts. It made me smile a bit.

I remember football focus about ten years ago doing a feature on a FIFA proposal to make the goals bigger.  Showed, I think, Tim Flowers spouting off about how it woulod goalkeepers jobs impossible.  Didn't fool me but was quite amusing.

I remember that well. "it would see more goals scored" :D

But isn't that the sort of stuff Fifa come up with any way. Like the "new " offside rule that varies according to the refs time of the month
