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
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.
