Don't let the star system worry you as stars don't always 'make prizes'. You can get zero stars here and zero comments and still get a NiB or FP as long as you are funny - and you are funny. Then sometimes you get stars coming out of your ass and your sub doesn't get anywhere. Just keep up the good work and take in the feedback from the biscuiteers above. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54409#post-157064 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 22:45:18 +0000 dvo4fun 157064@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Welcome - here's a few stars to be going on with. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54409#post-157059 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 22:09:04 +0000 SJM 157059@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Cheers all. Not sure about the one-liners comment though! All a first attempt so comments noted... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54409#post-157058 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 22:05:23 +0000 Perks 157058@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Agreed, one star a bit harsh. Nice idea. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54409#post-157057 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 22:03:33 +0000 waylandsmithy 157057@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>The other one liners are a bit shit, though... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54409#post-157055 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 22:01:46 +0000 waylandsmithy 157055@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>One star is completely unfair, this is a great idea, I think. Love the concept and most of the execution. One star after 2 minutes? That's barely time to read the bloody thing.</p> <p>The ending is weak, it doesn't really tie in with the rest of the story.</p> <p>Needs to end with a reference to another unlikely but logical discovery. Maybe the big serving dish he found, while forraging in the woods at Jodrell Bank? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54409#post-157050 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 21:49:25 +0000 SJM 157050@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>An Essex man has unearthed a fully preserved London Underground train with the metal detector he was given for Christmas. </p> <p>Terry Muswell from Epping was out scanning for possible Roman coins and knick-knacks at the end of his garden when he made the discovery. </p> <p>'I couldn't believe it' said the 32 year old self-employed Chef 'I'd only just got the detector and was still getting used to the big twiddly knob thing on the side when suddenly it went bonkers, beeping away like mad. I grabbed a spade and got my new Labrador puppy Patricia to help me dig. Within four hours we had unearthed a complete London Underground train. Honestly, it's a treasure trove down there. I also found some nice seats, leather briefcases and a party of Japanese schoolgirls'. </p> <p>He did contact Transport for London to ask if it was ok to keep the train.</p> <p>'They were in the middle of their 150th anniversary knees-up when I rang but the lady said she'd investigate as soon as they'd finished the Hokey Cokey, Pictionary and the last plate of egg mayonnaise sandwiches'.</p> <p>‘If they do let me keep it I can put it on the mantelpiece next to the replica of Blackpool Tower that my cousin Brian found in Paris’. </p>
