OLL LEWIS: Yesterday’s News Today

Yesterday’s News Today
http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/

It’s Wednesday so that makes it more or less biscuit of the week day as well as the regular round up of news headlines from the CFZ daily cryptozoology news blog and a bad pun. Imagine if you will a tacky game show, the sort of show that might have been presented by Des O’Conner or Les Dennis, you know, not good enough for Bruce Forsyth or Bob Monkhouse but better than the sort of show that would be saddled with Michael Barrymore or Vernon Kaye. The contestant (either a woman who looks permanently angry or a man who looks like there’s quite a bit of weasel in his ancestry, your choice) is being asked to choose a prize from a ‘fabulous’ selection by Des/Les, a dolly bird and a creepy disembodied voice. After being given the choice of a state of the art Brevelle, a romantic weekend for two in the stunning new town of Milton Keynes and the mystery prize the contestant opts for the mystery prize.

“Lets find out what you’ve won!” Crows Des/Les with a knowing wink towards the audience, who have been bussed in from bingo halls up and down the land, and the dolly bird removes the cover from the mystery prizes podium with a flourish. Sitting atop the revolving blue mystery prize podium is a solitary packet of Jacobs Lemon Puffs. The audience of shrieking bingo obsessed old ladies guffaws uncontrollably as the contestant sheds a tear from their eye, cursing missing out on what might well have been their only chance to go on a weekend break somewhere as sumptuous as Milton Keynes. Never mind though eh, as the Lemon Puff is my biscuit of the week. And now, the news:

Dorothy's dog blown away
Literary cat makes library visits
Red squirrels ready for visitors
And
Injured Dog Set to Get Prosthetic Legs

‘Paw’ thing, hope he likes his new legs.
