April Fool Anywhere?

[Cloverjo]

I haven’t spotted any AF in the newspapers. Anyone seen any? Or is the general mood so bad that it would feel wrong?

I did t see any in the media. Rather a nice one on Facebook.
A lot of huffing and puffing about them being inappropriate in the current climate and Germany officially banned them.
It’s surely not beyond our wit to have some harmless fooling unrelated to current affairs

We had an amusing one on one of the small Dundee groups I am a member of. Admin put up a photo of a shop and said "Wm Low's on the Perth Road". So many folk just pressed "like" without, I suspect, looking at it. It was Wm Low's but a branch about 10 miles away. Eventually spotted,

I did one on our facebook dog showing group where there has been much aggravated debate about whether you can drive to a local isolated place to walk your dogs. I told them it had been suggested everyone gets a bike and lets their dogs pull them along - several fell for it and started getting on their high horses((!) - haven't seen any others though but no doubt some would criticise them for being lighthearted at this serious time.

I think it’s more to do with not adding to the face news on the virus.
But other topics exist

[ichkeria]

“Fake news” - such as tanks on the streets in Italy in response to “Coronavirus riots” ^^^

I posted a photo of a jackelope on gmeb, it looked quite realistic....
Mythical horned hare/rabbit... It took a few moments for them to realise...

There's one on Facebook declaring Scotland to be the first country in the world to ban the sale of alcohol for the duration of the current crisis.

Pulses were set aracing I can tell you, we'd put nothing past the First Miniature when it comes to boggle-eyed insanity dressed up as health promotion.

Dumb ‘joke’ by the young man from the K-pop group.

I like the antlered rabbit, rowan.

I liked Judy Murray’s jokey post on Twitter about her forgotten ‘other son’ who is forced to live in the attic.

Douglas, I think I loves you..

Haven't seen a paper today, but haven't seen any online nor heard any from the radio either.

Brilliant photograph in Daily Mail. It's of Harry pushing a shopping trolley absolutely loaded with toilet rolls, baby wipes and kitchen rolls. The article is written by
Aria Dolly-Fops!!

[Cloverjo]

That’s what I’m looking for, Caran. Got to watch out for those anagrams of the reporters :)
