April Fool's news stories
Any good ones from around the regions?
They're more likely to appear on local paper front pages I'd think, but may be some on the nationals too. A story on the front page of today's Times about the launch of a new "F***ing Hell" beer looked very likely, but a bit of rooting around suggests it might be a true story (at least, it appears to be doing the rounds for some days), even if the writer has gone to town a bit on the use of the verb. :laugh:
Or do they do them on other papers at all? The Munster Express has one each year, some good, some poor. This time it's a report that a celebrity candidate is to be parachuted in by Fianna Fail to contest Martin Cullen's seat in a by-election - Eamon Dunphy. Like for like then! Raised a comedy doubletake and a smile anyway. :smile:
