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.

    • Another bakery staple in days gone by - bread pudding. Place bakers(?) where Harry's is now always used to sell big chunks of this. I think Morrisons also used to sell it in a packet of 2 slices. Are bakeries now just dumping their unsold bread? I make bread pudding regularly - use reduced bread from supermarkets ( loaf cost me 22p) and last time made 3 batches one for us plus two for friends.
    • Went to thee Viet place in LL some time ago and got charged £9 for a pot of tea  Hubby paid bill and did not notice that they had overcharged. Frequently go past the old Moulin restaurant- rarely see people in it. No indication whether they are providing meals as no menu outside (unless they have pit it up in last few days) Got impression that it was a wine bar only. Love Dulwich is usually busy between 12 - 2 pm when they have their lunch time specials  not been there in evening or weekends. 
    • They're a supplement, usually made from whey, which are used after weight training. The theory is that weight training tears the muscle fibres (Feel The Burn, No Pain No Gain, etc), protein helps repair this and aid lean muscle growth. The faster you can get protein into your system, the better, so obviously liquids are absorbed faster than solids Beans, poached egg or peanut butter on toast, are pretty typical post training meals to achieve the same thing. They're much like a very thin milkshake or Slim fast, so nothing anabolic. I used them when I was training three or four times a week and the results were pretty good, if I do say so myself.   Cross-post with Ianr
