help
Right, another chance to alternately build our spirits up and then disappoint them. I can't be bothered to change the winning move so it's still Mornington Crescent.
Good News
yes, one of our old favourite games is back.
Bad News
It's neither 'New' nor 'Improved'.
Good News
But it'll make a lot of people very happy.
Bad News
Not me.
Good News
CNN is not available here.
Bad News
That won't stop us from receiving biased broadcasting
Good News
The BBC charter is up for public consultation,
Bad News
They're going to consult with a wide range of 10-16 year old Busted fans..
Good News
Luckily, no-one can understand what they're saying, so no-one will take any notice anyway.
Bad News
Unfortunately, the consultant will be a secret Busted fan and so will base his recommendations upon their incoherent ramblings.
Good News
Busted have been scientifically proven to improve brain power and concentration in the under-5s.
Bad News
Under-5s don't pay the license fee.
Good News
Neither does anyone else.
Bad News
This means that we're back to Jim Davidson's Generation Game on a Saturday night.
Good News
People will be forced to resurrect the lost arts of evening conversation.
Bad News
All of their conversation will consist of moaning of how there's never anything decent on the telly on a Saturday night.
Good News
The conversation will probably turn to cricket.
Bad News
Sky will win all the bids to show cricket anyway.
Good News
In which case there'll be extensive coverage of a national sport that England actually excel at. Wahay.
Bad News
England will suffer defeat at the hands of the UAE, Canada and France in quick succession.
Good News
It'll all be over very quickly, then we can get on with being bad at something else.
Bad news
The BBC will cancel all decent weekday programmes to show us being bad at everything else.
Good News
But the viewers will enjoy that, since the Brits are so good at Schadenfreude.
Bad News
Sadly, the Germans for one are better, seeing as they have a more accurate idea of what it is and can change the meaning at will.
Good News
Thankfully, for the sake of uniformity we can take it to the courts at Brussels and have them change the entire language.
Bad News
By an EU directive, any change to German must be uniform across all other European languages.
Good News
Ve hef vays (er, sorry) of ignoring EU directives.
Bad News
Still, 'Nadolig Llanen' doesn't sound quite right.
Good News
It doesn't matter - everyone in Brussels is getting drunk.
Bad News
They'll be in a bad legislative mood when the hangover kicks in.
News
The Belgians are famous for all the varieties of beer they brew, however, I can't think of any famous ones.
Bad News
The most famous ones are illegal in this country!
Good News
Day trips to Brussels might be getting cheaper.
Bad News
More asylum seekers are clinging to the bottoms of the return journeys.
Good news
Most of the return journeys are done by ferry. (ouch, even from me)
Bad News
Have you been on a ferry for two hours with a bunch of people returning from a booze-buying trip?
Good News
Yes I have, and very enjoyably drunk I was too.
Bad News
...then you threw up.
Good News
You got rid of all that filthy French beer and garlic.
Bad News
No you didn't. It was right there, and in the open now.
Good News
Better out than in.
Bad News
Okay, but there's your liver as well.
Good News
There are a group of surgeons on board, returning from a European conference.
Bad News
Half of them are vomiting over the side and the other half are waiting their turn.
Good news
The mighty ocean is indifferent to their suffering, and its products.
Bad News
The fish who live in it, though, are none too thrilled.
Good News
They'll eat anything.
Bad News
We have to eat them.
Good News
I'm a proper vegetarian so I don't eat fish. Only Linda McCartney.
Bad News
Rab's a proper vegetarian so he doesn't eat fish, only Linda McCartney
Good News
Linda McCartney is ready to help with my liver.
Bad News
There must be another Linda McCartney.
Good News
Paul McCartney's a knight. His staff put him on his charger each morning. Who said he couldn't cut it with AC/DC?
Bad News
Paul has blown a fuse because Heather has a short in one leg.
Good News
The Beatles are planning a comeback. (?!)
Bad News
All four of them will be on the tour.
Good News
They'll be playing open air venues [Dujon & plump]heheheeh :o)
Bad News
...in Chittagong during monsoon season. (If Paul & Heather are dancing, and he spins her around on the wrong leg, does she get taller?)
Good News
[Dr Q - ewwwwwwwwww!] Paul McCartney's become a new dad
That's old news. But it means there may be yet another McCartney telling us what to eat/wear/do/sing/etc
(I like doing it this way!)*changing the subject* The new Lord of the Rings movie is out!
Bad news
The film buffs have already found 33 mistakes in it, and those aren't the ones related to the book!
Good News
Most people didn't notice and had a thoroughly enjoyable time watching an exciting movie.
Bad News
We'll all have to hear over and over again how much it draws from box-office receipts.
Good News
If it draws enough, Peter Jackson will get to film The Hobbit.
Bad News
Michael Jackson already has. Allegedly.
Good News
Michael Jackson has a lot of 'Allegedlys' pending right now. Maybe one or two of them will stick and we won't be subjected to any more of his t*ss.
Bad News
Not until after his UK visit though.
Good News
He couldn't do anything questionable on Christmas....
Bad News
In the US legal system, you can get aay with murger if you are rich and prominent enough, as it seems.
Good News
"Murger" is the offence of owning a horse and carriage while having less than three barrels of tobacco to one's name.
Bad News
Three barrely of tobacco are unaffordable - unless you buy them in France.
Good News
I don't smoke.
Bad News
At least I didn't until I caught my sleeve in a passing campfire
Good News
Fortunately the Fire brigade were quick in their response.
Bad News
The Imperial Leather adverts don't work in real life.
good news
There are plenty more soaps on the TV.
Bad News
But they don't work either - or if they do, you'll end up with an unsightly rash.
Good news
Sudocrem is good for rashes and babies!
Bad News
Its not a good substitute for whipped cream.
Good News
Nothing like a good whipping.
Bad News
They eat whippets in Korea.
Good News
Whippets are down due to a new, non-high-forming gas they're putting in the cream containers.
Bad News
If you re arrange the letters in Korea you get an orange drink that brings me out in boils!
Good News
At least they're better than the bubos I had last week
Bad News
If you rearrange the letters in Korea their tyrannical Post Office will have you summarily executed.
Good News
That's only in North Korea. In South Korea they will read out the entire text.
Bad news
Without a translation!
Good News
Only Koreans have to be present.
Bad News
Everyone else misses out on the inevitable hilarity which ensues.
Good News
Thus deprived I consoled myself with a Chic Corea CD. What a pianist!
Bad News
I'm tone deaf (but I do like the cover)
Good News
At least I can look intellectual
Bad News
But only in the dark!
Good News
You could thus make friends with Michael Howard, according to la Widdecombe.
Bad News
You would then be in the bad books of Miss Widdecombe.
Good News
It's better than being in her little black book.
Bad News
I hear her little black box is now blonde too
[momus] ohhh yuk!
Good News
momus to dry clean his mind
Bad News
Dry-cleaning solvents have marked anaesthetic properties.
Good News
An open gateway into self dentistry and the pulling of ones own teeth
Bad News
They haven't found a way to wake you up again
Good News
They have found a way of waking you up again, by dangling you, in an infantile manner, over a crocadile
Bad News
You can hear an ominous ticking from this crocodile.
Good News
Maybe it's just a harmless clockodile.
Bad News
Yeah, but that's brown trousers time if you're a pirate.
Good News
That's more than offset by the fact that you get to say things like "Arrrr! Splice the mizzen! Avast behind! Arrrrr!" etc.
Bad News
But only once a year.
Good News
At Chrismas time, on a big stage, with lots of B status type celebs, from crap soaps and you get paid to do it!!!
Bad News
There are numerous category D type celebs present too, including Ainsley Harriot (to whom you owe a sexual favour), plus you are getting paid in pigs trotters, which are no longer legal tender in your tent.
Good News
At least you don't owe sexual favours to Anthony Worrel Thompson or Keith Floyd
Bad News
But unfortunately they owe you.
Good News
Their `debt' can be exchanged for points, and what do points mean?
Bad News
The loss of my driving licence.....sigh!!
Good News
You ghe chance to get lots of healthy walking exercise, during which you can reflect edifyingly on the transgressions which led you to this sorry pass.
Bad News
As you stumlbe across the sodden Heath you realise that these boots weren't made for walking.
Good News
But the reinforced steel stillettos are perfect for collecting paper and trash, thus performing a good deed for the environment.
Bad News
A heel's just come off.
Good News
You won't get back pain in later life from walking in flat shoes.
Bad News
You'll get it anyway, to judge from my contemporaries.
Good News
You'll have a good excuse to lie down a lot and have things done for you.
Bad News
You don't really get to choose who you get.
Good News
Martin Shaw is one of the volunteers
Bad News
I asked, but got Sandie Shaw.
Good News
At least you didn't get Harold Shipman.
Bad News
you have an unexplicable desire to write to all his victims families , to try and undo all the bad that's been done, in a rather clumsy and invasive manner.
Good News
Your computer crashes just before you print off all the letters, you realise you cant be bothered typing it all out again, so give up on the idea.
Bad News
You've been using M$ Word, so the AutoRecovery Wizard kicks in and brings the text back onto your screen.
Good News
The AutoRecovery text looks like this:- $%hTg "_Fu^k228697 /E 100172 /N 2 /T 227739 >> endobj :-(
Bad News
You see a message from God in it.
Good News
It doesn't contradict the message you heard from Satan whilst playing your Smiths LP's backwards.
Bad News
However it does instruct you to go forth and seek a trade promoting yoghurt.
Good News
You are deprived, and have never heard of yoghurt, and so do not blow all your money on a pointless enterprise.
Bad News
What little money you do have left, is taken by the government as tax for the new "Yoghurt for all" initative
good news
poverty focuses your mind on your addictions..you decline that glass of Pinot Gris proferred by Gordon Brown on the Underground at Midnight
Bad News
You accept a swig from the bottle in the brown paper bag from the tramp sitting next to him.
Good News
Hey maaan, it's marijuana vodka.
Bad News
Gordon Brown is sitting next to David Blunkett.
marijuana vodka? don't play with me - where is it?
Good News
They don't see you as they are both stoned
Bad News
Gordon Brown took your number and promised to call
Good News
You gave him the number of a sex line.
Bad News
It is YOUR sex line.
Good News
Your sex line brings in several thousand pounds a month!
Bad News
Bad News
Bad News
Your sex-line is about to be closed down by the new fearsome OFCOM. (I think I have spilt too much tea in my keyboard :-( )
Good News
Spilt tea in the keyboard of the computer controlling the sex-line telephone exchange puts paid to the enterprise before OFCOM can paste a closure notice on it and issue you with a warrant. Phew!
Bad news
Your computer is broke, and so are you. I can speak english, really.
Good News
Your weary history of insomnia enables you to win first prize in the mind numbingly awful Channel FourTV 'show' "Shattered".
Bad News
Your so tired you don't really care and neither does the single member of the viewing public who botherd to tune in (by mistake)!
Bad News
The History of Insomnia is the provisional title of a new documentary from David Attenborough.
Damn!
That was supposed to read Good News
Bad News
If Attenborough's gone that far down the pan that's the end of civilisation as we know it.
Good News
Ah ha! But if this project comes to fruition insomnia is cured.
Bad News
For the makers of Zopiclone and other such sedatives/night sedation!
Good News
Civilization as we know it has ended so now we can all return to "Reality TV" and Eastenders.
Bad News
You're appearing in the next reality show, in which you have to be a stuntman for an episode of Eastenders.
Good News
The latest incident in Eastenders involves Alfie drowning in a vat of beer.
Bad News
It's KwikSave's own-label lager-style beer, which retails at 20p per pint.
Good News
Everyone mourns Alfie so much that they end Eastenders. Forever.
Bad News
It's replaced by Westenders, a soap opera set among the theatre-going chattering classes.
Good News
At least it won't take six of them to make a brain.
Bad News
It will take seven.
Good News
Seven is the scriptwriter's luck number, so he will gamble everything he has on roulette.
Bad News
The roulette wheel is made out of swiss roll shaped french cheese, the casino is really a front for some bent butchers money laundering scam and you are accused of interfering with a dozen disabled dolphins by your unworthy peers.
Good News
The unworthy peer is Lord Archer. Oblig.
Bad News
Your DNA was found on one of the aforementioned porpoise, a pork pie is located in your make up drawer and thats Port Salut in your hair!
Good News
The pork pie tasted really nice with that slice of wild garden pickle (see other game!)
Bad News
The pickle was really a slug with the face of James Dean!
good news
The Silver Spider Porche 505 never crashed ..it merely nudged a bollard on the A14
Bad News
the nudged bollard threw the contraflow system out of alignment and the resulting traffic confusion and congestion snaked back towards the M6 to the west and Ipswich to the east, preventing thousands of families from arriving on time for their holdays on the Norfolk Broads.
Good News
It was raining, so they wouldn't have enjoyed them anyway.
Bad News
It was acid rain and 50% of them melted!
Good News
The Litmus paper states that the acid is benign, almost alkaline, and Morrissey walks into your living room with the acetate of his new LP "You are the Quarry"...you get a taxi to Bermondsey to celebrate.*champagne pops*
Bad news
Your taxi gets caught in the nation-wide gridlock caused by problems on the M6, and you have no food.
Good News
The term gridlock as it applies to the alimentary system has finally been allowed the official term ridlock
Bad news
You are in a hotel room in Soho with Morrissey and there are a dozen taxi's outside..you hail one and forget to blow him
Good News
You also stole his hearing aid, so he is no longer able to make mind numbing solo albums!
Bad News
You forgot you were his agent - now you're skint. (This is getting very silly)
Good News
Liberated from possessions, you go away and sit in a cave for ten years, and so find enlightenment.
Bad News
You now have a very sore arse, intolerance to light, loss of all social niceties and have no clothes.
Good News
You are, therefore, ideally suited to a position in local government. you make stacks of money by awarding contracts to huge faceless corporations that bung you some tax-free cash in exchange. (oh just read the bath chronicle you'll see what I mean...)
Bad News
Those faceless corporations are Halliburton, Parmalat, and Enron.
Good News
You are therefore untouchable, and can rest soundly knowing they will never even attempt to prosecute you.
Bad News
They do, however, prosecute your cat, your mother and anyone else who ever remotely knew you.
Good News
Your conscience having withered years back through your suspect business practices, you simply couldn't care less.
Bad News
Everything else about your person has also withered
Good News
At least you didn't blow Morrisey. (comus] did I read that right?)
Bad News
But he did give you a copy of his next cd (Groan)
Good News
You now don't have to waste money on a coaster.
Bad News
You no longer have a mate like Morrissey to make you mugs of tea to stand on the coaster
Good News
Tea is bad for you anyway.
Bad News
You used to drink 20 mugs a day, and now you're getting severe withdrawal symptoms.
good news
Johnny Marr loves your sister and gives a ton of cocaine to Bermondsey
Bad News
You live in Llandudno
Good News
And so does Mrs Trellis, who reliably informs me that there is a thriving drugs scene in these ultra-respectable Welsh versions of the Costa Geriatrica.
Bad News
Unfortunately, you get swindled when you try to buy some E and then realise the old biddy actually sold you enalapril, an anti-hypertensive.
Good News
You crush it up and snort the lot and experience a massive wave of relief and joy as the tension oozes out of every pore.
Bad news
But then you collapse on the floor due to a massive hypotensive effect.
Good News
Lib is there watching you and rushes in to help with her trusty stethoscope !
Bad News
The floor is weakened by the rush of activity and opens up, you both fall, head first, deep down into the underworld.
Good News
It's remarkably similar to London, so you already know your way around.
Bad News
But the sulphurous fumes coupled with the fact that all the transport runs efficiently and on time, leaves you significantly disorientated.
Good News
You realise, after a while, that you are in Dnepopetrovsk, and vodka is very, very cheap.
Bad News
Vodka makes you come out in spots. All over.
Good News
Hot mud packs make one look much younger than one actually is and, as an added benefit, cure acne, red-eye and gout.
Bad News
But tastes bloody awful in vodka
Good News
The vodka company give you a lifetime's supply to compensate.
With that quantity of bad vodka, your lifetime is likely to be very short.
Er... that was me :-Q
Good News
Its Hot Mud that you have been given a lifetime's supply of.
Bad News
You haven't got much lifetime left.
Good News
Your place in Heaven has been assured.
Bad News
Through a clerical error, you are sent to spend eternity haunting Lancashire instead.
Good News
That's where the cleric who made the error lives.
Bad News
You have just realised that the clerical error means that you are now haunting Lancashire, when in fact the true depth of the error is that you never actually died yet.
Good News
That is not rigor mortis, its just a very serious hangover.
Bad News
You've actually been drinking methylated spirits.
Good News
It has cured you of your terrible haliotosis and sorted out your gum disease a treat.
Bad News
You now have 2 bellybuttons.
Good News
Your twin navels are a novel place to put those new earrings.
Bad News
Those earrings are miniature Teletubbies.
Good News
They're dead.
Bad News
Po is starting to get a bit whiffy.
Good News
Its attracting a vast amount of flies of varied species for your new insect collection!
Bad News
It makes people mistake you for Beelzebub.
Good News
Which is just as well because you are about to launch a devilish plan ...
Bad News
Michael Howard has beaten you to it.
Good News
You won't have to lead the Tory party after all....
Bad News
...because you'll be busy leading Labour...
Good News
Which is a good reason to move to and live in Canada...
Bad News
Canada is uncomfortably near the USA.
Good News
You love the USA !!
Bad News
You have to say that, the US Army has just abducted you to Guantanamo Bay.
Good News
The beaches there are marvellous.
Bad News
You're not going to be spending any time on them, are you?
You were going on a diet anyway.
that was me with a "tab" issue.
Good News
You were going on a diet anyway.
Bad News
It's the Atkins diet.
Good News
As a cannibal, this is your own version of the Atkins Diet. Once a week, you look up "Atkins" in the phone book, and the rest is self-explanatory.
Bad News
This is illegal, and they've just caught you at it.
Good News
Private Eye call it the Fatkins Diet.
Bad News
The Fatkin Diet is a genetic/hereditary problem.
Good News
You can blame it on your parents.
Bad News
My parents are aliens (shnoorb ack ack ack wibble)and only visit once every 100 years.
Good News
At least they don't visit any more frequently.
Bad News
But the next visit is tomorrow, and your in-laws are meeting them for the first time.
The will probably abduct your in-laws and take them back to the planet Zog for experimentation.
Good News
The will probably abduct your in-laws and take them back to the planet Zog for experimentation. Bugger, done it again!
Bad News
They'll be back.
Good News
They are bringing presents for everyone this time!
Bad News
You will be expected to show gratitude for some useless trinket.
Good News
You have earings that are made of the kind of organic matter which you do not need gratification for.
Bad News
Earwigs prefer earrings over earings. Regardless, they are rather pedantic individuals and do have a problem with their 'earing.
Good News
You like squashing earwigs
Bad News
Guess what you'll be coming back as in the next life?
Good News
As a football supporter, finding true fulfilment by chanting Earwig-o, earwig-o, earwi....
Bad News
My football team steadfastly follows the maxim "And pigs might fly" when it comes to winning - still, being bolt on trotters, it's to be expected. Lovely, Rosie, that brought out a large chuckle. Fortunately the better half is out shopping. :)
Good News
I shall stick equally steadfastly to my self-imposed prohibition against mentioning anything to do with my football team, except to say, contrary to what a historian might assume, that it is not located in a small village in North Yorkshire.
Bad News
Tectonics is an art, nay, a discipline, which is somewhat shifty.
Good News
You switch to Teutonics and start a career in world domination.
Bad News
The Rest of the free world spoil your party (and it takes the Italians a while to realize they are on the wrong side!)
Good Noose
A few are hanging from lampposts.
Bad News
They're doing pullups.
Good News
This gives them sexy strong shoulders!
Bad News
They don't believe you when you say that you've redefined "Master Race" to mean "people with sexy strong shoulders".
Good News
One in ten men do. Though not for the same reason as the other nine.
Bad News
You need these men to help propagate the new elite.
Bad News
But you're not.
Good News
Tony Blair has survived the rducation vote. Err, something wrong here? Ed.
Bad News
Tony Blair has survived the (e)ducation(?) vote.
Good news
The BBC is now creating its own news and cutting out the middle man.
Bad News
The middle man is cutting himself up
Good News
He's delicious with fava beans and a nice Chianti.
Bad News
Unfortunately all you have is a bottle of meths.
Good News
Luckily, your murder rap for cutting out the middle man has been reduced to manslaughter.
Bad News
He was the brother of the Osama bin Laden.
Good News
You are Osama bin Laden.
Bad News
The entire free world are after you.
Good News
Isn't it grand to be so popular?!
Bad News
You're stuck in an 8ft snow drift
Good News
It gives you an excuse for mixing the order up!
Bad News
Not when it's your first day as a waiter at the Cannibals' Bistro, where customers are guaranteed "recompense" for bad service.
Good News
Being a leper, it's the only job you can get. You're so delighted to have it, you're giving away tips. COAT!
Bad news
You get sacked for some misdemeanour in the broom cupboard, you try to appeal but realise you haven't got a leg to stand on. [ penelope, please get my coat while your at it ]
Good News
The establishment have been taken over by MacDonalds.
Bad News
The establishment have been taken over by MacDonalds.
Good News
This isn't the same as McDonalds, the fast food retailer.
Bad News
...which means it gets burned down in a midnight raid by Clan Campbell, the hereditary enemies of Clan MacDonald ever since the days of the Glencoe Massacre.
Good News
Barbecue!
Bad News
You're not quite sure exactly what it is/was that you're barbecuing.
Good News
A fresh supply of veggie burgers have arrived.
bad news
Morrissey complains that these veggie burgers aren't fit for liberated lab mice
Good news
They are good enough for the vegetarians
Bad News
They consist mostly of beans, and the side-effects are horrendous.
Good News
I have patented a method of collecting flatulence.
Bad News
The follow through research leaves you in a sticky mess
Good News
If you're a vegetarian, it makes good fertiliser.
Bad News
The only plants that thrive on your human vegetarian ordure are the GM ones.
Good News
They make excellent conversationalists
Bad News
...but only in Cantonese
Good News
That means it's a great time to start learning a new language.
Bad News
The EU have declared that all EU residents must learn French.
Good News
Our food thus becomes much better.
Bad News
But our toilets will get worse.
Good News
We don't care, as we are all too busy making lurve and quoting poetry.
Bad News
... to ugly, hairy people who cannot speak properly.
Good News
I'm only two out of the above three.
Bad News
You're a mute.
Good News
No need to learn French, then.
Bad News
You get extra garlic rations to make up for it.
Good News
You're off to Transylvania next week, so the extra garlic will come in handy.
Bad News
Customs take it from you before entering the country.
Good News
They don't let you enter the country at all.
Bad News
They deport you to Afghanistan.
Good News
They let you go into Pakistan, where the locals are impressed by your cricketing expertise.
Bad News
You realise that cricket is the most tedious activity in the world, and face a hideous death from boredom.
Good News
You turn to meditation to escape boredom and find God (underneath a small rock). God tells you to start a new religion.
Bad News
You're still in Pakistan, and the locals are unimpressed by your choice of religion.
Good News
You soon talk them round to your way of thinking.
Bad News
Unfortunately, religion is not about thinking.
Good News
But all the atheists are to busy not thinking to notice anyway.
Bad News
They're too busy talking on their mobiles while driving (or not) on the M25/Parkway East/[insert your local static motorway here].
Good News
You call on God to smite all mobile phone users with ear-boils. He does! Your religion obtains 100 million new converts.
Bad News
They have all just been smitten ie they are dead.
Good News
They're actually all smitten with you. You're popular again!
Bad News
It's one of those religions where as the leader, after a night of hedonist splendour, you are sacrificed to ensure well-being in the coming year.
Good News
At least there will be well-being in the coming year.
Bad News
Not for you
Good News
You persuade your most faithful acolyte to take your place disguised as you, and sneak off to live in quiet obscurity in another country.
Bad News
Who wants to be quiet and obscure?
Good News
YOU DO ! And you achieve it, living in a beautiful house designed by Le Corbusier in the midst of the French Alps.
Bad News
There is an avelanche and your house is swept into oblivion together with your collection of Picasso and Salvador Dali paintings.
Good News
Your surreal world is gone. You can return to sanity.
Bad News
There ain't no Sanity Clause* in your contract.
*credit Mr. Marx
Good News
Your contract is as a strictly non-playing footballer. However you still full wages of £millions a week!
Bad News
Your club is going to have start laying you all off to avoid going into administration.
Good News
You still make a personal fortune in advertising revenue.
Bad News
It's in Parmalat, and you're paid in stock options.
Good News
A quick bit of thinking and fast-talking allows you to dump the stock and make a tidy profit.
Bad News
At least it would, but being a football player means you are incapable of thinking or talking at anything like a high speed.
News (Good)
You employ people to do your quick thinking for you
Bad News
They think quickly enough to empty your bank account and disappear before you notice anything has happened.
Good News
You sell your story for a lot of money
Bad News
You are immediately sued for libel by almost everyone you mention.
Good News
Being a thick sporty type, you got all their names slightly wrong, and they have no case.
Bad News
Just when you think you are not going to do time, your nicked for steroid abuse at a local beauty pagent.
Good News
With one sweep of your steroid-enhanced shoulders you fell your captors and are free.
Bad News
Unbalanced on your stilleto heels, your boxer shorts are grabbed from behind.
Good News
You instinctively kick backwards, driving your stilleto into one of your captor's ohmygods.
Bad News
You can't pull the stiletto out again.
Good News
Thinking quickly (for you), you free your foot, leaving the shoe dangling behind.
Bad News
A Cinderella-style manhunt has now begun.
Good News
Thinking quickly, you cut off both your feet. (Has it been mentioned before how thick you are? Oh yes, good)
Bad News
You lose nearly 5 pints of blood from the leg wounds and get blood all over your white satin boxer shorts!!
Good News
Red is the new white.
Bad News
Due to an almost total lack of blood, you are now an unfashionable white.
Good News
"Pale and interesting" was at one time a discreet expression of sexual interest.
Bad News
every one you know is red/white colourblind and ignores you!
Good News
Capable of near invisibilty, you perpetrate a series of daring crimes.
Bad News
They're crimes against fashion, and you are widely mocked once they are discovered.
Good News
Your bad taste brings you fame and fortune in the great fashion magazines of the world!
Bad News
Because of that, everyone thinks that you are Victoria Beckham.
Good News
ITV want you in there next Celebrity reality show.
Bad News
You've agreed to do it
Good News
It could be fatal
Bad News
As you are still invisible, no one can see you to vote you out. You are trapped in a jungle with 2 Ant/Decs forever!
Good News
The two Ant's take a shine to you and smuggle in six pack of beer.
Bad News
Low alcohol beer
Good News
It is Belgian, so "Low Alcohol" actually means 5.5%
Bad News
I can't think of any possible reason why the last entry could be in any way, shape or form, bad news.
Good News
I can
Bad News
The next post will takeus back to the tenuously constructed story.
Good News
The sheer tenuousness of the story means that we've forgotten it, and we can now place ourselves wherever we like - say, as president of the United States.
Bad News
If so, you'll have your arse licked by Tony Blair.
Good News
Of the 640 coalition deaths in Iraq only 545 are Americans.
Bad News
95 of them weren't
Good News
The 95 that weren't were *caused* by Americans
Bad News
That *was* the Bad News
Good News
'Good News' and 'Bad News' are now indistinguishable, meaning that newsreaders need no longer practise 'good news' and 'bad news' facial expressions and the ban on botox treatments and collagen lip-implants for newsreaders is lifted.
Bad News
Everything that newsreaders say is still utter guff.
Good News
To gain more viewers the news is to be made more entertaining.
Bad News
Regrettably there turns out to be a greater number of wars than rescued kittens.
Good news
A lot of the kittens rescued are from war torn areas!
Bad News
Those kittens are all cleverly disguised bombs
Good News
Kittens can be deployed in 45 minutes and are considered as WMD. (They are in my house anyway).
Bad News
Hans Blix can't find his kitten.
Good News
But the rumour is that he has a Tiger in his tank (pun intended!)
Bad News
It's a real tiger
Good News
But it's tanked on watermelon-flavoured alco-pops, and can only manage a rumbling 'hic-purrrrrrrrr-hic-purrrrrrrr' as it staggers about.
Bad News
This is no good for running Hans' car.
Good News
It is listed as a driver on his insurance
Bad News
He'll probably be losing his no claims bonus.
Good News
No one has ever stopped his tank to ask for proof of insurance
Bad News
Parked on double yellow lines its just been clamped.
Good News
He's reached the age when it's good to take things a little slowly.
Bad News
He's chosen not to
Good News
He intends to succeed Michael Schumacher as Formula One World Champion when he retires.
Bad News
Michael Schumacher is not going to retire
Good News
This is because he's being cloned, thus bring into the world a race of chaffeurs.
bad news
chaffeurs are like pigs in Beverly Hills, your mother is a sow farmer in Mexico and you forgot to make porridge for your daughter
Good News
That made perfect sense
Bad News
Ce qui chaffe est un chaffeur.
Good News
Your French knowledge is practically zero, so there's no bad news.
Bad News
The french
Good News
It's only a matter of time before the Americans notice them.
Bad News
The Americans aren't the most efficient and they'll probably take out Briain on the way in.
Good News
They've only taken out the T but then they have a history of that.
Bad News
They're going after Brian next.
Good News
Brian is probably marginally safer than he would be if he were fighting on the Americans' side. Oooh! controversial political satire!
Bad News
Not if Mel Gibson has anything to do with it.
Good News
At least a decent British actor will play the baddie.
Bad News
British actors *always* play the baddie.
Good News
The baddie is the best role by far!
Bad News
Every decent British actor who has ever been cast as a baddie has emigrated.
Good News
There's always Brian Blessed...
Bad News
There will always be Brian Blessed!
Good News
He's about to emigrate.
Bad News
...taking you with him.
Good News
First class all the way
Bad News
You are flying by Bashkirian Airlines
Good News
Their first class is quite good, actually.
Bad News
You're only saying that to be polite to them.
Good News
They dont understand a word of what you've been saying.
Bad News
The captain also doesn't understand a word Air Traffic Control have been saying.
Good News
The captain does understand the letters and numbers, which is enough for him to avoid crashing into any other aircraft.
Bad News
...but not sand dunes isolated in the middle of the Saharan Desert.
Good News
But he's so lost he couldn't even find the Sahara
Bad News
He's found Birmingham city centre.
Good News
So has the SAS! They're here to arrest the air crew and Brian Blessed on terrorism charges!
Bad News
You're going with them, and because you've been designated an enemy combatant you won't have access to a lawyer, the right to trial, or even knowledge of what you are accused of while you languish in prison for an unspecified number of years.
Good News
They have a draughts set in the prison, and your are a world champion draughts (checkers)player!
Bad News
No one will play against you
Good News
It's a singles draughts championship
Bad News
None of the women going to this singles championship want a date with you.
Good News
One of the men does
Bad News
He's too butch. (Did I say that out loud? Hide me!)
Good News
You beat him at draughts, softening him up.
Bad News
He wants to play a new game involving a cucumber, axle grease and a tin of Spam!
Good News
You have the option of saying "no."
Bad News
Caryl Chessman will be the adjudicator.
Good News
They get on so well they decide to play the game together instead, and you can leave them to it.
Bad News
You've got nothing else to do all day now no-one'll play you at draughts, so you end up watching.
Good News
The Governor, a well known Manchester City supporter has decided to throw a party for all the inmates.
Bad News
Most of them support Man U, as might be expected.
Good News
That means you're the governor's favourite.
Bad News
Being the Gov's favourite means that you will get beaten up every day in the toilet block and only get the burnt bits in the dining hall.
Good News
You actually quite like the burnt bits.
Bad Nose
Zat iz all ou are gettong, frome noo oon!
Good News
At least you don't support Ipswich Town. Not a common affliction, but a painful one
Bad News
You support Wimbledon. A very uncommon affliction indeed. Actually I support Chelsea and have done so for 48 years. Never taken themselves too seriously, I'm glad to say; winning something would be rather vulgar, I feel. :-)
Good News
But at least they've moved to Milton Keynes so there is no way you will accidentally wander into the ground on match days. C'mon U R's - Super Hoops!
Bad News
Owing to the limited space in Milton Keynes, Wimbledon is going to merge with the Open University.
Good News
The chanting from the stands is now grammatically correct
Bad News
It's not quite so catchy.
Good News
Simon Cowell wants to record the team song.
Bad News
He wants to play it to us later.
Good News
The Mute button's working OK. (Snodders) Only been once to Loftus Rd, and saw them beaten 6-3 at home by Reading. All I can remember is that it was a warm midweek night and research shows it was 21st Aug 1961.
Bad News
But the window is open and the sound will get through anyway. [Rosie] Mmmm It may have changed a bit since 1961. Heavens we all have! It obviously had a profound effect on you though - to remember it so vividly. If you go again before neat April you will still qualify as a regular though. I get to more away games - living in Leicester (Dont ask).
Good News
It's actually quite good.
Bad News
There is such a thing as damning with faint praise.
Good News
You've gone deaf and can't hear it
Bad News
The angry mob outside your door can.
Good News
Your door is a vortex leading to a magical world of tiny shrimps made from candy and all the women look like Kylie...
Bad News
Kylie is very overrated.
Good News
Not by many people here, I would imagine, or at least hope.
Bad News
Kylies bum wants a trial seperation and a cut of the profits!
Good News
Gordon Brown has not raised the duty on Kylie related products.
Bad News
There is an danger of a KY reference entering the conversation. Slippery customers these Politicians - I should know.
Good News
I think Kirsty Young is a bit of all right. (Snodders) You're not a . . . .? ?
Bad News
She's probably spoken for! [Rosie] I wasn't last time I looked....!!
Good News
She requires so much speaking for, she employs people to deliver her after dinner speeches. [Snodgrass] There's no need to be ashamed you know...;P
Bad News
The next tme she looks, she discovers she is a politican!
Good News
It's not compulsory to vote for her.
Bad News
It's not compulsory to vote. Ooh, controversial.
Good News
Most voters are stupid anyway, so the fewer of them vote the better. Upping the controversy ante...
Bad News
The abstention rate amongst the stupid may be no higher than amongst the intelligent.
Good News
Its Saturday and the politicos are all in their constituencies kissing hands and shaking babies and keeping well off our TV's allowing us to concentrate on the Rugby. Well something like that.
Bad News
Your rugby watching is about to be interrupted by a politician at the door.
Good News
You're a Wales fan, so any excuse to get away is welcome. Controversy re-invoked
Bad News
The politician is from Plaid Cymru, and is very angry at your attitute towards the Welsh team.
Good News
The politician helps you drown your sorrows as the team comes a close second.
Bad News
Its now Monday and he's still here and my single malt has all gone!
Good News
You now have a photo of that politician in a politically compromising position.
Bad News
You're in that photo too.
Good News
But only part of your thumb over the lens, as the rest of your was behind the camera taking the photo.
Bad News
That's not your thumb.
Good News
No one can tell it's not your thumb
Bad News
Everyone can tell that it is your wanger.
Good news
...due to its immense size. (Wishful thinking...)
Bad News
Googolplex was right. It is wishful thinking.
Good News
You are well-trained in the art of doctoring photos.
Bad News
You mistakenly sent the original version to the newspapers.
Good News
It's your wanger and not your face in the photograph, so no-one recognises you.
Bad News
You get analysed by Cosmopolitan's psychic wanger reader, who says you have severe psychological difficulties and are probably bad in bed too. (I am not making this up. It's like palmistry, only not.)
Good News
You have a very nice bookcase in your hallway!
Bad News
It's full of photos of your wanger.
Good News
Rosie is a master of Photoshop Elements (ref Would you welcome please) and can edit the photo to make it look like you weren't there [just like the sixties]
Bad News
This Stalinist-style rewriting of history brings about a totalitarian Communist regime.
Good News
Rosie will be in charge of the totalitarian regime
Bad News
I would have dictator's HQ on my doorstep here in South Croydon. It's true, with Rosie living about 15mins away from me, Croydon would be the centre of a tyrannical dictatorship...
Good News
There would be no detectable change, then, if car-parking charges are anything to go by. (Snodders) What 60's is that? Mine? How dare you? :-)
Bad News
Locomotive technology would be forced to revert to steam.
Good News
Then perhaps the trains would run on time.
Bad News
...well, at least the past could be 'altered' 1984-style so that they had run on time.
Good News
Everything else would return to how it was in 1984 too. Not a bad thing, imho.
Bad News
Thatcher!!!
Good news
Beer is less than a pound a pint in pubs!
Bad News
Thatcher again. I had forgotten about her, I must admit.
Good News
It is 1984 but with a Totalitarian Communist Regime in power. Thatcher is tried in a show trial on TV and is thrown to the lions bringing in the largest TV audience the world has ever seen.
Bad News
... for the lions
Good News
Lions are cool.
Bad News
They prey upon herd animals.
Good News
Humans are herd animals! Yayayay... hang on...
Bad News
Not enough Lions to eat the humans!!
Good News
There are enough lions to eat the stupid ones.
Bad News
You're pretty stupid yourself.
Good News
But not as stupid as GWB [mmm, is that really good news?]
Bad News
The lions are refusing to eat GWB.
Good News
I'm not refusing. Pass the ketchup!
Bad News
That's not ketchup.
i rule!
world inding attack stance.(you will all bouw down to me!)
Good News
This is normally a child-free zone.
Bad News
The trained child attack Lions, are not doing a thorough enough job!
Good News
I've found the real ketchup and am preparing to persue 'death ball'
Bad News
Hes wearing running shoes and has a two-day head start.
Good News
Owing to his unusually low brain power, he's running towards you.
Bad News
The brain is usually the tastiest part. (I'm told, honest, officer)
Good News
Thank goodness I'm not that hungry.
Bad News
...he is.
Good News
I've got the ketchup.
Bad News
He's got the stuff you thought was ketchup earlier, and he's applying it liberally.
Good News
He applying it to himself.
Bad News
watching this makes you feel strangely excited.....
Good News
It's also making you hungry
Bad News
It's making you hungry for things which aren't him.
Good News
Those other things are readily available. You have some with you right now.
Bad News
That doesn't get rid of 'death ball'
Good News
He seems to have toddled off anyway.
Bad News
The rather attractive Condoleezza Rice seems to no longer be a darling of the 'free press'.     Bugger!     :-(
Good News
You still have her tied up in your basement
Bad News
You've got Dick Cheney too.
Good News
They are now at your disposal.
Bad News
Close-up, they're not as attractive as you thought.
Good News
You haven't opened the other sack of squirming bodies yet.
Bad News
The squirming bodies have no heads.
Good News
They are nutritious and delicious.
Bad News
Only if you're an insect.
Good News
Free insect eggs with all meals at Pizza Hut!!
Bad News
Cockroaches purchased at take-away food outlets are deliberately bred sterile in order that customers cannot replicate them at home.
Good News
They go great with sweet and sour dipping sauce.
Bad News
They think you do, too.
Good News
They're right
Bad News
You realise you have forgotten what the hell is going on in the thread of the story, and at the same time are picked up in a big PANDA car by the Police.
Good News
Hooray! The Police have reformed and are going to give a free impromptu concert on this shiny tank (disguised as a panda) you happen to be riding. (See Weird Anime Excel Saga for reference)
Bad News
Sting wants to have tantric sex with you.
