Surely Newcastle United have done the biggest april fool possible, first they appointed Alan Shearer as Newcastle manager then they got Iain Dowie as assistant manager. It's great to see Mike Ashley still has a great sense of humour as the club battle relegation.

There's still stuff in all the papers...

The metro one was really shit about the new BMW with magnets in the front bumper so it can get towed along by the car in front & not burn any fuel.
If anyone was hard of thinking enough to take that seriously :axe: at the end there was summat about how it was invented by 'Uve Fallenforit" or summat like that.

Then there was the usual really piss poor one in the grauniad, about how they were closing down their printing works & it was only going to be available on Twitter. As if lol.

Bring back the Blue Peter one about that rare endangered species the 'Lirpa Loof' I say ;) :cool:

I convinced a work colleague he was going to get sacked for breaking FSA regulations and mis-selling something :LOL:

:p

PMSLOLOL quality :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: I didn't bother this year but one of the guys in my office did. He told one of the lads he had to go to Slovakia tomorrow to do some interviewing and the lad started to go into why he couldn't go as he had too much to do and then suddenly twigged it was an april fool! The same guy saw a woman walking past with tights and told her she had a ladder in them she stopped and was looking up and down to try and find it, turns out she'd only just put them on and they were on the small side :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Haven't seen one prank this year, although working for a small company and being on my own today didn't provide the right environment:|

Glad to see it lives on:cool:
