Dating agency shut down


A dating agency in Farfud Nundings has had to close after pairing a highly strung Spanish lady with a basset hound.

It was an error that anyone could have made, claimed Sunbury Spume, former proprietor of Love In Nundings. The basset hound had filled in all the paperwork correctly and ticked yes next to 'do you like animals' and, unfortunately, our computerised system had no protocol for telling whether or not an applicant was human.  

Miss Pastriola Flamingo only complained after the basset hound stole her Chicken Marengo during the main course of what she said was an otherwise delightful dinner. But a Farfud Nundings bylaw dating from 1641 makes it an offence to arrange for the dining with dogs and so the agency was served with a closure notice.

We have no way of knowing if this was the only time this offence has been committed, said Farfud Nundings Dog Warden Pete Readish, but we weren't taking any chances.  

The basset hound is recovering at its villa in the south of France.

Duck for president bid fails

A last minute third-candidate bid for US President from Daffy Duck failed when it emerged he was born in Kenya. Ridicule is the burden of genius, Mr Duck commented. Can you imagine anything so ridiculous as majority rule? Meanwhile, Americans are left with a choice between the lesser of two evils. Polls have the voters balanced neck-and-neck between a president who is useless and a a president who is bonkers. American democracy is a beautiful thing, said one passer-by we latched on to in Washington DC. It just shows that anyone can become president who can raise a billion dollars in campaign funds. A spokesperson for the American Institute of Total Warfare which represents the arms industry said We haven't really made up our minds yet. We've been impressed by how much money President Obama has spent in warfare but we're wondering what we can achieve if we put a real looney in charge.   Photo by Kris Mikael Krister on Unsplash

Resorts send snow to skiers

Ski resorts have begun delivering snow by helicopter direct to skiers' homes in a move designed to protect the mountains from the environmental impacts of winter sports enthusiasts. Although it is a massive undertaking, say Sled Piler of the Alpine Resorts Institute, it works our more environmentally friendly to take the snow to each skier rather than flying all the skiers and their equipment to the mountains.  Former British downhill champion Barg Matipsonfire commented: It's great to have your own individual snow but my garden is completely flat and it appears to be too warm to keep the skiing surface in tip top condition.

Aesthetic jam threat

The European Union wants to redesignate certain British jam as paint after it was found to contain mostly colouring and paint. The Aesthetic Jam Co says the only way to get jam to tone perfectly with people's kitchen colour schemes is to add quantities of paint.  People who demand beige jam to match their kitchen have to expect a little variation in the recipe, said Jim Spread of the Aesthetic Jam Co. The Aesthetic Jam Co admits jam made mostly from paint is likely to taste a little painty. Photo by KAL VISUALS on Unsplash
