I don't know what the statute of limitations is on these things, but a week seemed reasonable. And I really needed that £2. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=27955#post-79167 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 12:17:09 +0000 newsbiscuit editorial team 79167@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Thanks f0zz. Obviously this is very good and we were intending to use it, but didn't as we think we've done something very similar before. If we can ever find the link to that story we'll post it here. But, in any case, well done. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=27955#post-79161 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 11:47:38 +0000 waylandsmithy 79161@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>That's true.

The illusion of movement will be simulated by fans sprinting by at speed, waving cowbells and throwing water bottles at the participants. The order of starters for each stage is to be allocated the next morning on a first-come, first-served basis. Shortly after this announcement, an unusually high volume of applications was received from German cyclists.</p> <p>Finally, the coveted green and yellow jerseys will be replaced by high visibility tabards. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=27919#post-77337 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 05:28:59 +0000 be reasonable 77337@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I’m sure Ed will come up with some policies in the run up to the next election, and if they don’t get him in, his brother will have some new, slightly different ones to offer us for the subsequent five years. 5*, by the way. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=27919#post-77315 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 21:30:49 +0000 Danny 77315@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Very very good. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=27919#post-77242 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 11:09:00 +0000 FraserWords 77242@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Cracking punchline, VCG </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=27955#post-77232 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 09:04:03 +0000 f0zz 77232@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Central London was brought to a standstill last night after an explosion of politeness ripped through the city. The spontaneous outburst of avuncularity was attributed to Martin Kimble, 27, a graphic designer from Muswell Hill, who has since been labelled a 'homegrown extremist' by the Met. </p> <p>In a police statement it was confirmed that "[The young gentleman] exited the tube station at Charing Cross and proceeded to acknowledge the presence of another human being in broad daylight, by making eye contact and nodding imperceptibly at him before uttering the words "alright, mate." The greeting that rang out could be heard by shocked residents several streets away. The man then continued calmly on his way, as though nothing untoward had happened."</p> <p>Commander Ian Dyson went on to say "In thirty years of service this is the worst case of reckless affability I have personally witnessed. Left unchecked, it could only lead to a street-level Armageddon of handshakes and small talk between strangers that would be impossible to police."</p> <p>A Taciturn Response unit was immediately deployed and the area sealed off. "We would hate to see impressionable children become embroiled in this sickening practice," explained Chief Supdt. Ken Stewart of the anti-Altruism squad. "If anybody finds themselves a victim of it, I would urge that they ring our Hotline immediately."</p> <p>Under questioning, the man admitted he had recently returned from a brainwashing camp in the North of England, where his head had been turned by open displays of friendliness and cameraderie. "It was a moment of madness," he was reported as saying. "I don't know what came over me. When I eventually came to my senses it was like waking from a bad dream."</p> <p>The man agreed to undergo an intensive course of haughtiness, although experts admitted it may take months if not years before he returns to his natively churlish state.</p> <p>Mayor Boris Johnson advocated the levying of a 'congeniality charge' to discourage further displays of fellow-feeling. "This jihad of joviality strikes at the very core of our national security," he warned, in a post-prandial junket from the Wigmore Club. "Our City's smooth running depends on the semi-oblivious and routine contempt of its citizens toward any life form within their immediate vicinity. What if the cells of one's own body decided to 'stop for a chat' or engage in perfunctory small talk with one another, eh? where do you think we'd be then? Pass the lube, Maurice." </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=27950#post-77219 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 07:26:57 +0000 f0zz 77219@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Necromancy suspected. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=27949#post-77218 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 07:24:30 +0000 f0zz 77218@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>More soon. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=27919#post-77200 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 23:14:43 +0000 doggone 77200@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>A few more gems in the article.
