April's Fool....

Well I couldn’t do my blog on the 1st of April without mentioning a few classic pranks on this all holiest of days, April Fools.
A few classics so far include;

- The Sun’s revolutionary lickable paper where apparently "hydrocolloids collide with each other to spread over your taste buds creating a sense of taste”. To my amusement I saw a number of trusting people on the tube today subtly placing their tongues on the paper to test it out... fools!!!

- Gillette’s new Miracle T-shirt which contains a “unique neutralizing agent” that prevents BO. http://www.miracleshirt.co.uk/

- Virgin Media and Ferrets – Virgin announced that for years they have used Ferrets to lay their cables for their broadband service. Jon James, director of broadband for Virgin Media, said: "For hundreds of years, ferrets have helped humans in various jobs. Our decision to use them is due to their strong nesting instinct, their long, lean build and inquisitive nature, and for their ability to get down holes.” Hmmm

- The AA and their Jet-propelled servicemen – AA have stated that their servicemen will be fitted with jetpacks (costing £42,000 each) to help beat the traffic and get to their customers far quicker.

- London Waterloo and City tube line to be pedestrianised – Transport for London have drawn up detailed plans to pedestrianise central lines to assist with pavement congestion and encourage fat Londoners to burn the equivalent of 6 million calories a week walking instead.

- Google Translate have branched out into the animal kingdom and now promises it can translate your pet’s mutterings into English.

Just a few classics there for you, but my favourite must be that Pete Doherty and Carl Barat are to reform to play at the Reading and Leeds festivals this year. Surely not!! When did they become all pally again!! Whether fool or not, if it happens then hell must have frozen over, all differences must have been put aside and I might just have to eat my hat!!
