Footballer’s spit to beat summer hosepipe ban
Footballer’s spit to beat summer hosepipe ban
Thames Water today unveiled a radical plan to harvest the saliva of professional footballers in an attempt to avoid yet another hosepipe ban this summer. With a brief spell of slightly sunny weather in mid-May having already left reservoirs at crisis levels, the water companies believe they have identified a limitless supply of fluid which has previously gone to waste.

* Mini issue - Eurovision update
* Tina Hobley - Working Class hero
* Charts: Punters are going for Ukraine
-----------------------------------------------------
>> Hello Hobley <<
John Lennon: soundtrack of the Portland
Holby City actress Tina Hobley has just
had a beautiful baby girl, Isabella. She
talked to Hello! about it:
"We had John Lennon's Working Class Hero
playing in the background and everyone
was relaxed."
And where did this birth take place? The
Portland Hospital, where it costs around
10 grand for a private birth and is the
favoured spot for the too-posh-to-push
brigade. It's the maternity hospital of
choice for the Beckhams, Claudia Schiffer
and Prince Andrew and Fergie etc.
Just what John Lennon had it mind.

Ewok actor gives security the slip
Warwick Davies was spotted on the set
of the new George Lucas project complaining
that over-eager security are insisting on
checking ID on everyone going in and out
of the set even if the actors are just
heading out for a fag.
As the little actor who played the King
of the Ewoks said: "You'd think they'd
remember me". So he just goes out the
back instead, where there is no security.

>> Eurovision update <<
Get that Euro party started
We hope you enjoyed the special issue earlier
this week. Traffic was so high that some people
couldn't get on the magazine site - sorry!
If you try again, it should work. We
thought we'd send this mini-issue to update
you on Eurovision news and other stuff today:
* Ukraine is the hottest tip - backed from
11-1 to 4-1.
* Our spy backstage at Eurovision says Bosnia,
Croatia, Finland and Armenia are winning many
fans. All are odd enough to stand out.
* Russian diva Dima Bilan is raising eyebrows
with his hard partying. He's not to be,
ahem, sniffed at, as the current favourite.
* Popbitch Eurovision Special:

* To put any money on your Eurovision hunch -
best odds are at Betfair. (And if you put
25 quid down, they'll give you another 25
quid for you or a friend to bet again)

Old Jokes Home:
A man walks up to his house and notices his Grandfather
sitting on the porch with nothing on from the waist down.
“Grandpa, what are you doing?” he exclaims. The old man
looks at him and says, “Well, last week I sat out here
with no shirt on, and I got a stiff neck. This is your
Grandma’s idea.”

Saudi TV hires Trinny and Susannah for ‘What Not To Show’

The new programme is a departure from their recent programmes featuring female nudity or items on feel-good ladies’ underwear or carefully-measured bra fittings.

Cashpoint news
Cashpoints now asking if you can really afford it
Customers of the leading high street banks have reported that automated telling machines are becoming increasingly stingy and obstructive. Since the credit crunch started to bite earlier in the year, a number of cashpoints have started to give vague excuses about not having the right change on them, displaying messages suggesting that you might be asking for too much or just showing half an inch of the notes requested, but then refusing to actually let go of the cash.
One frustrated HSBC Customer Luke Defrayne recalls; 'We had a right old tug of war; I pulled the notes a little way out, then the machine pulled them back in again. In the end I only managed to walk away with the torn-off corner of a ten pound note – what use is that on a Saturday night?’

Charity
Charity collectors more annoying than the actual disease
A damming report from an independent agency setup to monitor charity collection in Britain’s cities has revealed that the stress caused by the armies of charity workers now exceeds that of the illness or social oppression that they are raising funds for.
The 430 page report detailed the guerrilla tactics used to obtain the credit card details of law-abiding citizens and highlighted the three most common methods of so called ‘charity mugging’ which is now recognized as a major social menace:
‘The most common specimen we identified was the so-called ‘Everyones mate’’ said the chairman of the investigating committee Sir Norman McPhail. ‘You know the sort of thing; “Hey my man, shake my hand”
