The Herald Sun subbies passed. But we know what they really wanted to write:
« THE MOON'S A BALLOON | Main | WHAT GOES AROUND? »

The BBC News headline from the other day, "Great tits cope well with warming", will take some beating.

Many years ago, the Sydney Morning Herald had a mini headline in its "In brief" section, about Dick Smith flying to the Antarctic -- it had a tiny gap between first and second words, that was almost invisible: Dick heads for the Antarctic, which read Dickheads for the Antarctic.

Click on the actual story to see just how little interest the subbies took in the headline.

If there was a gang of perps that got caught then it would be written thus: "ring bandit ring nabbed."
And if they stole shirts from teh gheys then it would be "ring bandit shirt lifters ring nabbed."
etc etc...

If the Police did acapella to me, I'd probably react with embarrassment as well.
I'd still remember to punch Sting, of course.

Why does everyone hate Sting?

He's a pompous arse. Besides that, he's tops.

Pompous: check.
By the way, I meant 'apart from his music', which is pox.

Wait till the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora notify UK customs that Sting is smuggling rare South American bees back to England.
"Sting Stung In Stinger Sting!"
There's probably a good song chorus in that.
But for sheer subbie style, nothing beats The Times headline about the worst storm in a hundred years raging through the English Channel.
"Continent Isolated!"

"Members from Richmond CIU staked out popular gay beats for several months to catch the alleged thief."
Months it took - yeah months.
Sure sure .
Ok who's giving the next presentation... anymore coffee left?
Why not stake out the unpopular beats too?
Gives new meaning to "On The Beat"
As you were. Carry On Sargeant.
