Happy Birthday NewsBiscuit - Britain's first daily news satire website was launched on 16 September 2006.

Many thousands of funny stories later we are still going, others may have followed our example (and got more successful!) but I'm still very proud that we were the first and between us we have managed to provide an entire decade of on-line satire and develop some great comedy talent along the way.
Thank you for your continued submissions, supportive comments, etc. and sorry we are not a more professionally run outlet, but everyone involved is busy doing lots else besides (which is why your Writer of the Month mug from two years ago still hasn't arrived yet...)
I hope the site will keep going for as long as there are funny writers submitting great stories - but on past evidence there is no shortage of talent out there. Discovering so many new funny people has been the best thing about setting up NewsBiscuit.
Many thanks,
JOF
