IJN to be inspected for cracks

The International Journal of Nonsense is to be closely inspected for cracks.

Some cracks have already been found and so a full inspection will be carried out for safety reasons. The IJN will continue to publish during the inspection.

We don't want to lose money just because of a few cracks, said Editor Horse McRacing. There is only a very small chance of the cracks suddenly splitting the journal wide open and killing everyone who is reading it. That is a risk we are willing to take, although the staff of the IJN have been moved to a bunker under the Catford Downs as a precaution.

Fish incident leads to suspension

Nonsense News's Barfity Fargstring has been suspended after allegations she hit Eunice Pewness with a halibut.

The alleged incident allegedly occured just after then end of the alleged lunchtime news. Ms Fargstring had been spotted entering the Nonsense Newscasting building with a fish-shaped bag but denies that it actually contained a fish.

Ms Pewness was briefly stunned into silence following the event but was broadcasting again in time for the early evening news despite a few fish scales being apparent on the side of her head.
