April Fools

[S2N]

Well, I was expecting to hear from people this morning that have a) been the perpertrator of a practical joke or b) been the reciever of said jokes...

Come on! there must be some of you!

[domster]

Well, the Sun's Dominic Mohan is pretending to be launching a career as a pop star...

Had me fooled for, oh, about three nanoseconds

[robp]

I avoided all April Fools activities.............by staying in bed until 12:10!

Article in the Daily Express about square peas that are designed not to fall off a fork...ranks up there with the 'spaghetti trees' on Tomorrow's World a few years back...

South African radio station reported to have found the Kruger millions a while back.

Reporting took place on a building site and it was stated that it belonged to people of South Africa so they were welcome to come and collect their share.

'000 s turned up!

About 5 years ago there was a full page spread in the Daily Telegraph advertising a new paintwork for BMW's that deflected flies from the front of the car.

Had me going......

There was also an ad for an "Emperor size" Mars Bar... weighing in at a kilo!

And a feature for Neil Ruddocks Adidas Predator headband that could double the speed of a headed ball.

Also David Seamans new double size Adidas gloves!

Didn't BMW also do the advert for a car with swappable left & right hand drive?

[moleamol]

Well when, I got here this morning someone told me I had to work. Had me going for one or two seconds

Over here in W Oz we had an ad in the paper for Mini that can park vertically using traction control (yuk).
Did this appear anywhere else?
Incidently, I sussed it after only a few minutes.

Minutes! It took minutes!

Our secretaries managed to get one of our associates to call a Mr G Raff from one of our biggest clients.

Of course when Mr Raff's company answered the phone they responded 'Hello, London Zoo..'

She was the only one to fall for it, bless her...

[domster]

I know Mr Raff. He works with Mr Lyons on the same number.

There are a couple of blindingly obvious - but still funny - motorsport-related ones on www.dailysportscar.net

Mother nature was playing a fool over me today!!

Over the space of 9 hours on site i have land upon me rain, sleet, snow, hail and fog - sometimes in parts, sometimes all together AND was all topped off with constant galeforce winds which you had to lean into at a 45' angle to avoid being shoved forward in cow poo!!

The winds also caused a couple of handy sized bits of rock (read chuffing great pebbles) to fly from the top of the spoil pile and chin me across the fisog...!

Then the cheeky young lady tried getting me to smile by shoving a gorgeous great rainbow out for five minutes, stopping the wind and making the sun come out - but i wasn't falling for that, NO SIR Sure enough after about 2minutes the rain came again the wind started and a cow farted in my general direction....

Got some cracking off roading in the landie though
