Too easy moos, too easy.


Though I'll point out to *Bob* that BBW's post could easily be a statement and therefore quite correct, though I will also note that *Bob*'s post does contain a question mark and is therefore questioning the possibility rather than correcting BBW per se, so I'll shut up, which may or may not be hyphenated.


I'll also get my coat.

And a list from others


APRIL FOOLS' DAY FUN

Somehow, the Daily Mail has got its mitts on an astonishing picture of the home secretary Jacqui Smith emerging from an Ann Summers shop with a bag full of goodies...hold on, that picture doesn't look right. Oh, you guys! It's April Fools' day again. Many of the other papers join in the annual try-to-trick-the-reader session.

The Sun says the Ukraine football team have been given permission to play the full six-and-a-half minute long version of their national anthem at tonight's match against England. "Any fan who sits back down or jeers during the performance may face ejection," readers are warned. The Express tells the story of Alberto, his surname withheld to protect him from prosecution, who has rendered his Westfield sports car invisible to speed cameras using a specially formulated clear plastic film. The Telegraph tries to convince its readers that moves are afoot to harness the power generated by salmon to boil kettles And the Guardian's jape? You'd have to be a twit(ter) not to spot the anagram on page five.

The Sun - Ukraine's big game refrain is 6min pain

The Express - Now you see it...now you don't

The Daily Mail - Oh Jacqui

Telegraph - The salmon current

Guardian - Twitter switch for Guardian, after 188 years of ink

Good self send up though, I liked the bit at the bottom

Years ago I worked a 12 month contract in Glasgow for an engineering form and after constant tit for tat wind ups between me and the IT Operators, I finally had my comeuppance on my last day when someone stole my car keys, opened the sun roof on my car and filled it up with polystyrene packing balls and shredded paper before return my keys to my desk.


Funny thing is that the WHOLE firm (including the managing director) were in the car park to wave me off that night and I didn't realise why until I got to my car...


Almost the same as filling a room, but much more frustrating as you can't just 'dump' the waste on the side of the road now.

    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided. 
    • does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
    • MaryT, I’ve contacted the Dulwich Hill councillors several times in recent years, always copying them both in. I have never had an acknowledgment from Jon Hartley (not even an automated response or out-of-office) nor had any response or engagement from him regarding the issue raised.   On each occasion, only Maggie Browning responded (she uses an out-of-office if she is away). The last time, I received no response from either for 3 months, until Maggie Browning emailed me to apologise for not responding and asking if the problem had been resolved.
    • The  Kwasi effect is being considered.
