Slow News Day


While out on my regular job hunting quest this evening I came across this in the funnies section of HoldtheFrontPage.co.uk.  Maybe it’s just the resulting lunacy that comes from filling out one too many application forms but I just can’t stop laughing every time I look at this, a genuine news story from The Harrogate Advertiser. (Notice underneath there's even a helpful little 'banana facts' sub-section.) Ah, the joys of local journalism. Please someone give me a job! I’ll hunt you down square satsumas or polka dot pears or whatever fruity freaks there are to be found!

Did either of you try reading the print? I know it's a bit fuzzy but the last paragraph says: "So what is the fate for Irma's banana? 'If I can't do anything else, I will eat it,' she said." Priceless.

Let me get this straight...hahahaha ahem - Some bloke is out there writing a story on Irma's straight banana and YOU can't get a job?! Yeah. I'm there with ya on this one. Tell Irma to sell the banana on Ebay. Right next to the Virgin Mary toasted cheese sandwich.
