Could be real - might be Alien TV Pirates re-broadcasting old BBC programmes.

Or maybe they got it off of etPlayer, downloaded to their etPhones.

My missus played a stupid fooking prank last night, oh wait it wasn't a prank. Told me she don't want this car now.

Arghhhh, women, change their mind like I change my bikes!

Radio 1 were advertising half price fuel in selected petrol stations between 8am and 10 am. You seemingly had to fill up then at the counter ask for it half price as you are a radio1 listener - would look a proper falice.

I dont find that one funny - in fact its pretty malicious.

eg You only have a fiver on you, you then fill up with £10 of fuel, expecting to pay £5.

I hope the nice Policeman the garage calls, listened to Radio 1 AND has a sense of humour.....

What's a falice?

[SoulKiss]

Dont you mean

"Falice, Falice, WTF's a Falice" :)

[Dave20046]

It's probably an incorrect spelling, I haven't got spell check on and it's not the sort of thing I want to google!

hmm yes. Although thinking about it, they said ring up to be told your nearest participating one so they may well have at that point explained the date and not let it go too far.

Oh right. Phallus?

Thought I was going to learn a hip new insult then.

Quality :D

A mammoth project is also under way to rewrite the whole of the newspaper's archive, stretching back to 1821, in the form of tweets. Major stories already completed include "1832 Reform Act gives voting rights to one in five adult males yay!!!"; "OMG Hitler invades Poland, allies declare war see tinyurl.com/b5x6e for more"; and "JFK assassin8d @ Dallas, def. heard second gunshot from grassy knoll WTF?"

I have fond memories of Aprils fools day after recieving a text from one of my close mates saying "Ive just killed my Millie-no joke", he was well known for playing the fool so none of us believed him......:^o:rolleyes:

One phone call later from him near enough in tears we relized he wasn't pulling a april fools on us, and hes never forgiven me for not believing him:oops: (women did a u turn and took out his Aprilila Millie he'd had for about a month and bust his collar bone in the process)

[Sally]

A girl texted me saying she wasn't sure what to do..

That she was late by two weeks and had been feeling ill for a while, and what did i think she should do..

Didn't remember it was April 1st, so i didn't think it was very funny :(

Thats rotten, bet you were feeling a little green this morning then.:smt078

[Sally]

It would have been ok if i remembered the date :\

Not the best 'prank' that i have had pulled on me, worse thing was, it was entirely possible..

Bar stewards..

[Owenski]

More the reason for it not been funny.
My girlfriend often winds me up about the same topic, even though I KNOW its a joke it still scares the life outa me. I'm 23 im still a kid, having one would be a nightmare!

[Sally]

Still a kid at 23..

try having that joke pulled on you when you're 17 :(

[Owenski]

I've got the adult responsibilities; house, job and even a dog but a kid WOAAHHH not yet thanks.

Your 17! Geeez my **** would have been biting chunks out of my underwear as I read that message.

You've reminded me of a few years back, a friend of mine none of you know him so I can use his real name (Danny) while he was at Uni. Knocked his girlfriend up, she got rid they broke up shortly after she dropped out of the uni. He stayed in Uni passed but missed the graduation, so he went at open day to collect coursework and certificates all that crap. A couple of us drove down to make a weekend out of it. On the Friday afternoon leaving campus he spots his ex... push chair kid and the lot! Ever seen a 21 blubber on his knees? I have, priceless took him about 20min to speak a word and it turned out it wasnt even her kid, she was there with a friend or cousin or something...

He will NEVER live that moment down.
:smt046:smt046:smt046

[Sally]

Haha Not good, what a shame on him :(

Going to get the **** ripped out of me when i see them, isn't even funny, i shat myself :(

[Owenski]

You have my sympathys fella.

[Miss Alpinestarhero]

Apparently the Jade Goody one is true..

I didn't see one today but my colleauge pretened he was late for a team meeting because he had custard thrown over him (G20 protest) and had to go home and change. He rolled in 2 mins later :rolleyes:

they say the old ones are the best...


In 1976, astronomer Patrick Moore announced on Radio Two that the planet Pluto would be passing behind Jupiter causing a temporary shift in gravity.
The shift meant that if members of the public jumped in the air at 9:47am then they would be able to float. The BBC received hundreds of calls from people claiming to have experienced it.

In 1975 an Australian news programme announced that the country was to switch to 'metric time' in which there would be 100 seconds in a minute and 100 minutes in the hour.

This has to be the best one though

In 1973, a 'Dr Clothier' warned all red heads to stay away from trees. He claimed that exposure to Dutch Elm Disease caused red hair to turn yellow and fall out. 'Dr Clothier' was later revealed to be Spike Milligan.

In 1988, Burger King took out an advert in American paper 'USA Today' announcing a new item on the menu: the left-handed Whopper.
The ad claimed that the burger would contain all the usual Whopper ingredients but all the condiments were being rotated 180 degrees.
Thousands of people went to Burger Kings across the country to request the new burger. The company had to issue an explanation that it was a hoax.

I'm so glad you wrote that. At first I thought it was his daughter! :(

Horrible feeling.

Motivation to bag up though ;)

My wife sent one of her staff over to the hardware store opposite her shop to get a tub of elbow grease, after several minutes looking she asked the lady behind the counter if they had any so they both went off around the shop in search of some elbow grease but surprisingly couldn't find any.
