When you link it, pleeeeease quote the headline, so we don't have to click on ones that have been moved and miss out.

*muah* Thanks!

Hmmm...well, that one was still there when I clicked on it, but the headline was :"Body Found at Body Shop".

Yes Dear Heart, but the others aren't, and I'm just looking ahead.

Didn't mean to confuse you!

Wow. This is a first. The Net Nanny wouldn't let me view the TV station page with the half a brain article. It said it exceeded the number of offensive or questionable words.

That is about the bizarrest netnanny false positive I've ever heard of.

Must have been the use of "Rasmussen's encephalitis" and "pulsations" in close proximity.

Either that or multiple ads and story links for a breast cancer walk.

Thanks to Glatt for re vitalising this thread - nice little home for the odd bits in the Sunday Times each week - such as:

Irony of the week:
-------
A Wendy's burger bar assistant has been accused of taking money from the restaurant in Manchester, New Hampshire. His name: Ronald MacDonald.

and

Not-so-cunning disguise of the week:
----
A robber trying to hide his features wrapped himself up so tightly that he couldn't speak properly. The attacker walked into a newspaper's shop in Cologne Germany and mumbled that he wanted cash. The assistant, Michaela Sobor, coudn't make out what he was saying and asked him to repeat it more clearly. Frustrated, the robber went behind the counter and seized £1,000. 'I didn't realise it was a robbery,' said Michaela, 'I thought he had wrapped himself up warm because of the cold weather'.

and lastly:

Overtime of the week:
-----
Calls to photocopier engineers rise by around 25% during the Christmas season, according to a survey by Canon. The extra work is the result of peoplw copying their bottoms - or worse - at the office party, orr standing on the glass to hang decorations. (BTW, they didn't say what sort of decorations were being hung...)
