a tradition reborn! Red nose day Walkers: A review

a week after Comic relief and the disapointment of the crisps not available in ireland, i went shopping with my family in Waterford.

Guess what was on the crisp aisle!

better late than never!

this year walkers crisps teamed with 4 comedians with 4 celebrity endorsed flavours they are:
FRANK SKINNER CHICKEN DINNER
STEAK AND AL PIE (AL MURRAY)
STEPHEN FRY-UP
AND JIMMY CARR CARNE

FRANK SKINNER

WHO? Soccor-centric stand-up that released the song football's coming home
FLAVOUR: Chicken dinner
VERDICT: Very bland flavour

AL MURRAY
WHO? "THE PUB LANDLORD" A GUY WHO THINKS ENGLAND IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY AND IF A MAN DOESNT DRINK HE'S GAY!
FLAVOUR: STEAK AND ALE PIE
VERDICT: this is even worse! At least chicken tastes like chicken. this is like Al Murray himself: Tasteless!

STEPHEN FRY
WHO? Comic legend, pioneer Tweeter and Host of QI.
FLAVOUR: FRY-UP (EGG,BACON, SAUSAGE,PUDDING)
VERDICT: My dad ate all but the test packet i hid. no wonder as this was greatly improved since year one's batch.

JIMMY CARR
WHO? Deadpan darkly humoured host of Your face or mine?, Distraction and 8 out of 10n cats.
FLAVOUR: Chilli con carne
VERDICT: Far too spicy for my taste

As par the public vote, the winner was ...
Stephen fry!
the forfiet was a live waxing for the other 3

if you thought yesterdays story was good

i would like to apologise for my assumption that the "iceberg in Sydney" hoax was the greatest hoax in the world. it was a mere icecube in relation to this hoax one so famous it completley made everyone into a hysterical idiot

No not the War of worlds radio-play that is too famous.

i mean the pararama "spaghetti trees" hoax

for this hoax i would like to bring you on a journey on my verbal TARDIS

the 1950s
war was over
and with it came the television
with the first television rolling across britian there was mass hysteria for buying a television as the bbc promised to show the cornation of queen only on television.
during that time the televison itself, not just the programs in it was a talking point.
it was working. the public were in there hands
now to the main story
Pararama was (and still is) one of the most influencial current affairs program. Giving views on current affairs on places seem so far away. In short if it was on pararama. it must be true.
just what they wanted.
one night they were showing footage (which by today standards were obviously doctored) of a spaghetti being grown on a tree. Pasta wasn,t well known in the fifties and most people only saw spaghetti in hoops. in short they didn't know where it came from.
from footage in "swizterland" (in truth, Yorkshire) the harvest was taking place.
then the good bit. the reporter then revealed that british soil was the optimum condition for growing pasta all one had to do is plant a tin of spaghetti and within a month a fully grown tree
with a bounty of £200 worth of pasta every month
now pararama was (and still is) an hourly programme from 10pm
so imagine those who missed the programme waking up to neighbours digging and burying tins of spag hoops into the early hours of the morning
the next night - April 2nd pararama revealed the truth
APRIL FOOLS!
