      • I love it when The Sun

        randomly puts a word in capitals.

        'And Smith has revealed that he WON'T be back in time for this week's game, but will MAYBE play next week'

        It's like Prole and his inverted commas.

        Although I try not to read The Sun anymore. It annoys me.

        • 'Boffins'

          My flatmate was a press officer for Cancer Research UK.

          He could get the News of the World to publish everything he sent out (unlike the broadsheets) but they always changed 'scientist' to 'boffin'.

        • I like how they highlight random words

          'Prescott was seen leaving in a CAR, heading towards Downing Street'.

          I swear there's no logic to it.

          And 'romp' is a great word.

          • The back of the Sun this morning...

            was hilarious...

            The headline was Kebabadabadoo...

            And the first sentence was something like "last night the boys gave the kebab loving greeks a skewing"

            I lolled

          • D'oh

            If I hadn't stopped to look vacantly out of the window when typing that I'd have posted it before bamos. Oh well, great minds etc.

          • I always imagine the highlighted words form some kind of

            code to inform the Nazis of our D-Day invasion plans.

        • I always find the 'link' words

          between paragraphs quite funny, can't think of any now but keep an eye out for them

          • MONKEY

            Dave, 25, told how he once saw a monkey.

            SCARED

            He went on to describe how the monkey scared him.

            "It scared me" commented Dave, 25

          • where they have single phrases

            emboldened and maybe italicised, like chapter titles? its always like

            The Man was seen scurrying from his furtive lovenest by pie salesman Brian McBrian

        • Tot

          Young children are always referred to at 'tots'.

          bobbygeorge | 17 Aug '06, 14:32 | X
          • well, when i take my kid to 'tots'

            i hope theyre getting the attention i'm paying for, and a reference to them is the least i could hope for.

            alcxxk @bobbygeorge | 17 Aug '06, 14:36 | X
        • and also using their opening

        • The

          only worthwhile thing about tabloids are the problem pages.

          "I came home from work and found my girlfriend in bed with my brother, my best mate, my mum, my motorbike and a dancing bear. What should I do?"

          Ooh, I'd sit down and right a nice long letter to the paper, if I were you

        • The greatest has to be:

          "TV FUNNY-MAN"

          Surely they don't think that their readership would be confused by the word "comedian"!

          BobbyGrindrod | 17 Aug '06, 14:39 | X
          • ...

            What's a cum-di-ann?

          • Hehe

            Just doing some research I found this

            http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2004580002-2006380073,00.html

            The Sun are clearly unaware that sometimes people on Myspace don't tell the truth.
