April fools in the news

I do not buy a paper generally but a guy in the office has the independent, apparently to help Portugal with the national debt they are selling Ronaldo to Spain for 120m Euros! Anyone report any others from the papers today?

In recent years, I'm having increasing trouble telling the spoofs from the truth.......except in the red-tops where subtlety is in very short supply.

I thought the story about the UK giving refuge to one of the leading figures in the Gaddafi regime was an early April Fools joke. Apparently not.

One I read NOT a joke. As from today Scotland, Wales AND Northern Ireland all have free prescriptions whereas we in England not only subsidise them but have to fork out £7.40 an item.

Ok this wasn't ment as an open forum to have a go at things you are not happy with, stick to the point please unless you want my smiley face on your wall!

I think we'll have to wait for the 12.00pm 'reveal' to find out quite which things were April Fool's jokes and which were, sadly, true.

BMW used to do some cracking adverts in the paper years ago. Do they still do that ?

These days I tend to get my news on-line and they don't really 'do' adverts...

[Postdog]

I wasn't having a gripe. Just pointing out the reality that it's from today, it's the sort of thing that could be a wind up and it is in the papers

I like the Gorillas and the Ipads in the Sun - Though maybe thats true and the Marshmallow story on the front page is the joke?

An advert in The Mirror that I Can't believe it's not butter actually IS butter.

The BBC Today programme was on about 3D radio, you could affect reception by putting your hand in front of your face....

In the early 90s the Scottish News reported that David Lynch was making a 3rd series of Twin Peaks in Scotland - starring such Scottish 'stalwarts' as Rikki Fulton and Jimmy Logan. I was a huge TP fan and I didn't know whether to be over the moon or brokenhearted at the poor choice of stars. Till I remembered the date....
