There's a time and place for fun and games.......

....but this obviously isn't it!

Bookmakers to face court over radon testing

The background here is that Paddy Power (an Irish bookmakers) recently ran a series of "controversial" poster ads, one of which had the boyos at the last supper enjoying a spot of gambling!
Well cover me in sherry and five-spice and marinade me for an hour, I almost had a stroke. Those Paddy Power boys! So creative and full of derring-do!
The poor dears were forced to pull the ad when the Irish public unsurprisingly objected to even more cheap publicity being foisted upon them, so Paddy Power replaced the offending posters with "There's a time and place for fun and games, but this obviously isn't it!".

Having received a large number of enquiries regarding the impressive new statue which stands in front of Irish government buildings on Merrion square, the snackbox diaries would now like to provide some background.

The man giving government the finger is none other than Edward Hobbs: consumer champion, bringer of comeuppance and hemorrhoid in the flabby bottoms of indolent government ministers and proprietors of extortion emporiums.

The rocket carrying Van Morrison on his terminal voyage into the sun has crashed into the main internet communications satellite.

Many popular websites have been offline since the collision, and NASA officials are said to be studying the most effective way of removing the roly-poly sourpuss from the satellite without having to resort to thermonuclear means.

Morrison was convicted of attempting to record a country'n'western album in 2005, having blighted the airwaves with soporific wishy-wash for years. He was also found guilty of predominant surliness and of possessing a bizarre mid-atlantic accent.

His rocket was due to collide with the sun in late 2006.

Trevor Brennan's decision to engage in a bit of audience participation during last weekend's Ulster v Toulouse rugby game delighted many, but left thousands of internet users frustrated at the lack of video goodness.

Fret no more for here it is! And it's juicier than you would have thought.

Most folk had long cast a cynical eye on Dove's "Campaign for real beauty", but CurryChips is delighted to produce startling evidence of the exact motivation behind this loathsome marketing drive.

The following animations were taken from an internal powerpoint presentation which was intended to broadcast the marketing strategy for a new "Fugly-B-Gone" cream to the relevant departments. We now of course know that it ended up mutating into the well-known "Real beauty" initiative.
