It seems I've had two Pornos in my life, although it may have been me that came up with the same nickname for both. Not that I know anything about what old German porn stars looked like of course, errrr .... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34553#post-147585 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 09:59:52 +0000 DrTurmoil 147585@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Hey I just noticed I'm topical again! And Midfield Diamond has verification it wasn't him it was a mate who was called porno! It's obviously a great day for me as well as a great day for America. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34553#post-97599 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 16:03:14 +0000 Midfield Diamond 97599@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Yes, good idea. I quite like the headline too.</p> <p>Many years ago when I was doing A levels, we had a grow a moustache competition and the winner got called Porno as it was thought he looked like a German porn star. Many years later, he's still called Porno even though the moustache was shaved off at the end of the contest and as far as I know has never been allowed to grow since. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34553#post-97569 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 13:56:01 +0000 DrTurmoil 97569@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Thanks chaps! Any ideas on a better headline? I've tweaked slightly but just marginally different and not even marginally funnier, I wouldn't say. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34553#post-97544 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 10:25:39 +0000 Vertically Challenged Giant 97544@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I like it too. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34553#post-97543 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 10:23:58 +0000 charlies_hat 97543@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Like the piece a lot, but I think the headline lets it down a bit. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34553#post-97536 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 09:56:52 +0000 DrTurmoil 97536@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Justin Woodfield, a 23-year-old trainee accountant from Wycombe, expressed hurt and dismay yesterday as no-one at work has yet commented on his efforts to raise money for prostate cancer by growing an elaborate moustache during November.</p> <p>“It’s been over three weeks now, and not one person has tried to give me the new nickname ‘Magnum, PI’” complained the skinny strawberry blond, “it’s just not very supportive. One person did ask me ‘what’s that on your top lip?' on Tuesday, but it turns out the biro I’d been chewing had broken, so I don’t think it counts.”</p> <p>Woodfield, who has been shaving regularly every week since he was 17, is beginning to question whether it’s worth carrying on with the fundraising effort if his colleagues aren’t going to get into the spirit of things. He’s particularly worried that many women don’t find big moustaches very attractive, and that he may be diminishing his chances of getting a girlfriend in vain. “I asked fit Janice on reception what she thought of them, and wiggled my lips about a bit to show it off, but she got a strange look on her face and answered a phone that wasn’t ringing, so I don’t think she was well that day,” he added.</p> <p>Woodfield has put a brave face on the situation in public, but in private he has complained of the apparent lack of charitable feeling among people in these hard times. However his family have attempted to restore his faith in humanity. His favourite grandparent on his mother’s side, Mama Panadelli, has been particularly vocal insisting that people are still good at heart. Ever since Halloween she’s had complete strangers coming up to her pressing fivers into her hand and saying it’s for a very good cause and that she’s doing very well, which is a nice thing to hear at her age. </p>
