Nah, probably a CFH logo on a top tooth, possibly a canine or one out from that... That'd be ACE!

Elvis has left the mouth!

No! I want to keep my teeth now, thank you!

My morning paper had a story about the 3G mobile masts increasing the probability to get triplet pregnancies.







And yes, I fell for it but they *did* have a picture of a family feeding their triplets, in bibs and high chairs... If I had read carefully the Danish scientist Lars Baekerell might have given a clue though...

There was someting on the Today Programme yesterday morning, during their "look at the papers" bit at 6.40 which said (and I'm not sure if it was really in a newspaper, or if they just made it up, since I'm not in the UK and I don't see the papers) that after Ms Sarkozy's impact on the British last week, Gordon Brown has appointed her head of a commission to bring more style into British life, she is to live in the UK for 3 months starting in June

I think this is what you're looking for, Sho...

Thanks - I loved the bit at the end, the 'quote' by the French diplomat about working around the clock (9am to 3pm) because of the interest in her!

LK today on GMTV did a piece about a new weightloss product called 'so-tox' that was a cream and body stocking thing. They apparently had a girl climing to have lost half her bodyweight in 6 weeks.

I didn't see it, I only know about it because I saw a loads of posts in another place in cyberspace, from desperate women trying to get hold of this stuff who didn't realise that the frankly ludicrous claims were actually a hoax.

I thought this was a rather cruel trick to play.

Half her bodyweight in six weeks?

If it wasn't a hoax, I'd not have touched it with someone else's anyway.

I'd rather have my stomach stapled! (and I've no intention of doing that, I'm perfectly well aware a little more excercise is all I need!)

The BBC Penguin April Fool...if only they put the time, money and effort into their programmes people might actually start watching TV again. It seems the beeb spend more money and time advertising the tripe the broadcast rather than turning the swine into pearls.
