Radio 1's was good. They were giving a code and the name of participating petrol stations that were offering half price fuel.

The listeners had to ring in to get the code. They had to say their name and they where they live. They were then asked what day it is and is there anything special about the date.

Then Chris Moyles played the tape conversations on air to the whole nation. Not many people twigged until they were asked the significance of the date. [}:)][}:)]

Also, my local rag are running a story about a piece of toast that looks like a well-known roundabout in the town.

Still unsure if Alan Shearer becoming the manager of Newcastle Utd is a joke.[:?]

I quite enjoyed the debunking of the rather crazed notion of citizen 'journalism' though..

Surely Russell Crowe's 'poem' is a spoof ?

This old one was always a fave - we posted it to the IT Noticeboard when I worked at the HE college.
