Your Muamba one was one of my three favourites, and probably the overall funniest headline I have ever seen (actually probably a tie with Charlies Muamba super powers ticker)!</p> <p>The other two favourites being the Obama unsporting hide and seek one, and the Ryanair plane goes 30 feet one.</p> <p>And thanks for your kind words! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=42797#post-122429 Fri, 11 May 2012 23:50:45 +0000 dvo4fun 122429@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I'm not too sure about constructing these things but is the idea to always have the last para as the funniest? If you've two that seem equally good then can't you just leave in as with this one? Shit - just seen the time. Sad old man here typing at 12.50am. Night night. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=42797#post-122427 Fri, 11 May 2012 23:40:07 +0000 Qoxiivi 122427@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>If I'm honest, dvo, that's probably because I didn't really know how to end it. Just had the idea, jotted down a few paras and then just subbed it in a rush. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=42797#post-122425 Fri, 11 May 2012 23:37:13 +0000 dvo4fun 122425@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Lovely job Qox. Both the last two paras have nice punchlines </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=42797#post-122422 Fri, 11 May 2012 23:32:29 +0000 Qoxiivi 122422@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Thank you Yikes. Am a fan of your stuff too. I may not post that much any more (a bit in the doldrums and feel I've very much 'lost my funny' of late) but I do read the boards every day. You've very much hit the ground running here with some very nice ideas and the execution to back it up. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=42797#post-122410 Fri, 11 May 2012 21:21:02 +0000 Yikes 122410@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Very funny - nailed on NiB! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=42797#post-122387 Fri, 11 May 2012 15:06:51 +0000 Qoxiivi 122387@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>An experimental new scheme to try and get some Prince Charles into useful employment has got off to an excellent start, claims David Cameron, after he successfully completed his first day's placement at the Met Office.</p> <p>The initiative saw Charles try his hand at a spot of weather forecasting as reward for for completing all his filing on time, before taking out the bins and then being allowed home 15 minutes early.</p> <p>'I'm told he showed willing and wasn't afraid to ask lots of questions.' said Cameron. 'In fact, his first two hours there were apparently entirely taken up asking every single person he met 'So what is it you do then?'.'</p> <p>'I’m just glad it went well as we tried something similar with the Liberal Democrats a while back and that’s been something of a rolling disaster.'</p> <p>'After he's completed his week there, we may try and get him some work experience in the House of Lords. After all, he is renowned for being adept at talking to vegetation.' </p>
