Describe your journey to work in a series of tabloid-esque headlines
Mine:
NAD-DESTROYING COLD!
MR "I TAKE UP THREE QUARTERS OF THE BUS SEAT"
WORKMEN RE-CREATE GHOSTBUSTERS 2!
DOG IN A BAG!
BIG-FACED COUPLE NEARLY MOWN DOWN!
THREATENING TRAMP TO KILL SOMETHING OR OTHER!
THICK FOG PUTS "ME NAN'S PEA SOUP TO SHAME"
dog in a bag?????
shocking stuff
"WORKMEN RE-CREATE GHOSTBUSTERS 2!"
That's the one I want explained!
i know EXACTLY what he means
What, they had a spooky portrait brought to life and had to animate the Statue of Liberty with ecto-plasmic goo?
Yeah, I see that every morning now that you come to mention it.
you don't remember the scene where
they're digging up the road so that they can get down to the disused underground railway and the river of slime. They're posing as a works crew and then they get stopped by the Police and a guy from the electric company - Egon calls for "BOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!", and then Venkman appears (returning from the cafe with some coffee) and starts shouting at the Police for stopping Egon from working.
I'd imagine that commanderboobs saw something similar to that
WINSTONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
I'd describe that as 'Workmen Recreate Ghostbusters 2 Scene'.
and that's why your tabloid sucks
It was in a canvas shopping bag

LORRY
Once he'd arrived at his destination, witnesses described how they heard him mutter something about 'getting caught behind a lorry' on his way to work
"He always seemes like such a normal man though"
"I used to say hello to him sometimes, I never knew he was capable of such a crime"
"Come to think about it, I did see he burnt his toast once"
hahaha

'Bus horror at local request stop'
AT LEAST TWENTY FEET PAST
A man was today recuperating at work after being forced to walk slightly further than normal to catch his bus following an horrendously late application of the brakes from the driver, who stopped at least twenty feet past the stop, according to onlookers.
WHERE HE'D ALREADY COME FROM
The stopping actions of the driver inconvenienced the man to such an extent that he had to walk back in the direction he'd already come from to board the vehicle!
HOLD TIGHT
The horror continued when, on boarding the bus, the driver decided to speed off before any of the new passengers had gained there seats. As he closed the doors of the bus, the rastafarian driver was heard to say 'Hold tight!' as he put his foot to the floor. His action caused one man to stumble slightly.
"Hold tight"
:D
s'gonna be a BUMPY ride
*their seats.
Tut-tut. These sub-eds are really getting shoddy.

Haha, that sounds like a great game
there's actually some areas around here which seem pretty posh!
It's definitely in Edinburgh, I'll knife fight anyone who says different.

WOMAN IN TUBE POLE LEANING ERROR
Shocked witnesses described incredibly frustrating scenes this morning on the Piccadilly line as a slender woman chose to lean against the pole in the centre of the carriage instead of holding onto it with a hand. Mr Snegway Ullipot of 23 The Mound, Holloway had this to say.
"It was appauling. Instead of just holding onto the pole allowing other people to use it to, she effectively took it out of service completely by leaning against it with her whole body. Personally I just wanted to kick her fucking face in."
More details to follow.
LOL
CONFUSION AT ZEBRA CROSSING AS CAR THINKS IT HAS RIGHT OF WAY
Nottingham resident widely avoids tram tragedy
EASILY AVOIDED
A routine walk to work didn't even come close to ending in disaster this morning as one man easily avoided being hit by a tram in the busy city-centre.
SLOW AND STEADY PACE
The incident occured as the man attempted to cross the road into Bridlesmith Gate. As the man crossed, a tram hurtled at a slow and steady pace along Cheapside. There was what has been described as a 'comfortable distance' between the man and the tram at the point of crossing.
INCIDENT, THERE
Since the incident, there has been no official comment from either Nottingham City Council or NET. The man is reported to be stable.
^ Winner
'comfortable distance' is the highlight. Hilarious!
Excrement :D
BREAD AND TUTTER
A sandwich van got stuck turning into London Bridge station this morning, blocking the path to Guy’s Hospital. Pedestrians were moved to ‘tut’ in exasperation and forced to find an alternative route. “Oh, it was a nightmare,” said one eye witness, “total nightmare.”
:D
HOT-LOOKING GIRL FROM BEHIND "DID NOT HAVE FACE TO MATCH" CLAIMS LONDON MAN
Shaftesbury Avenue, London: A man has told today of his disappointment at discovering that a woman he had been walking behind turned out to have a slightly bent face.

KINGS CROSS ST. RANK ARSE
Mystery commuter lets off at least 3 times in the space of 2 stop on the piccadilly line.

Overweight man with ill fitting shirt is prime suspect
ANGRY COMMUTER IN NEAR HOMICIDAL ATTACK
An angry commuter was today seen to be snarling at people who pushed up against him on a 29 bus.
MORONIC
The commuter, Mozalini, aged 72, was thought to have been on the verge of headbutting many fellow commuters who he believed to have pushed up against him awkwardly and unnecessarily, even being heard to mutter the words "moronic c#nts" under his breath at regular intervals.
BLOWS
In actual fact, he remained standing in exactly the same place for virtually the entire journey and failed to come to blows with anyone. He did however open a packet of salt and vinegar Real McCoys and eat them one by one, occasionally losing his footing and tripping. Following this, he eyed up some woman he sees most days on the 29, who helps ease the strain of the otherwise vile journey, although, in regular circumstances he has said to friends that he "probably wouldn't".
EVIL
The 29 bus is known for being unspeakably evil on almost all levels, and strikes fear into the hearts of pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and the non-squalid, on almost an hourly basis. It is known for being a mugging 'hotspot' and a 'playground for pick-pockets'. It is also thought that the 29 contains roughly 16-19 sex offenders at any one time, some of whom are children.
So true.

(FFS It's October you bams)
Local cyclist BLASTS fitness fanatic found performing press-ups in busy cycle path.
headline:
CYCLEPATH (above really shit cctv photos of man in jjb sports tracksuit)
contd on page 8....
Monpot, aged 25, was OUTRAGED to discover nearly half of the cycle path taken up by the lycra-clad health fiend’s training regime.
‘I had to stop to let an oncoming cyclist get by’ said the resident of Canton, Cardiff.
It is understood that this stopping led to a loss of momentum, making the following uphill cycle a bit more of an effort.
‘I sarcastically said “BRILLIANT!” as I manouvered around him’ he went on to explain. ‘Hopefully he’ll think twice in future!’
It is unknown at present whether this in anyway affected Monpot’s late arrival at the office.
Heeling Hands
An unidentified woman was pleasantly suprised this morning when a stranger steadied her after she stumbled down a tube station escalator.
DAFT TART
The incident, in Bethnal Green, occurred when the woman apparently forgot she was wearing high heels and tried to run down the escalators at speed.
WASN'T ACTUALLY GOING TO FALL
She fell at least 1 step before a mystery stranger steadied her and she was able to regain her balence.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
A spokesperson for TFL commented: 'There are severe delays on the District, Hammersmith and City and Northern lines'.
