Just tiptoeing through some of the headlines.
Life imitates art:
Thieves have stolen the only master tapes for the BBC's new £8m series on Robin Hood and are demanding a £1m ransom for their safe return.
The episodes were apparently about someone stealing something and demanding money for it's return. I wonder where the thieves got the idea from?
Silly fool of the day.
HOLEY WATER
A PRIEST drowned as he tried to show his congregation how Jesus walked on water at a beach in Gabon, West Africa.
Now there is nothing wrong with faith, but the worrying thing about this story is that the congregation must have just let him drown. What were they thinking? "Give it a minute, he'll pop back up and wave, just wait and see"
And finally, advertising gets everywhere
THE BILL BOARD
POLICE horses in the Nottinghamshire force are to carry sponsorship adverts on their saddlecloths and boxes.
are they that hard up for cash? But what will they advertise? I think some sort of car ad? or "clunk click every trip." Maybe film ads... I can imagine seeing a poster for "The secret policemans ball"
