British push bottles up German rear

My all time favourite football one followed the sending off of Gerry Queen at Selhurst Park - "Queen in brawl at the Palace".

Ronnie Gill 12 Sept 02: "Geordie in New York Terror"
-- Anonymous, April 05, 2002
my fave is the new york times one, in 1983 the NYPD had a crackdown on Cannabis and they seized a ton of the stuff (they simply raided Gibbos NY flat...) and took it to an island off NJ which had a large Tern poluation. And they burned it. All the Terns had a hell of a party and the headline read "No Tern left Unstoned in Drugs Crackdown" beat that!the Hexham Courant had a great ad once "TENT - ideal for camping"

Slightly off topic but I read the name of a company on a passing van "Flock & Hall" and instantly thought of Benny Hill.

Aye, but that's why you give your body to Gypsy Rose Lee the hundred- and-fifteenth.You downloaded "Dr Poo" from the Viz site yet? Still my favourite Viz one-off along with "Bertie Blunt, his parrot's a c**t" and maybe "The McBroons"
