Really looking forward to seeing the new CBeebies presenter on air

I had an email from Fahlo (they enable you to follow endangered animals via transmitters) about their new animals including pigeons, rats and cockroaches in NY. Still trying to imagine a cockroach with a tiny transmitter on its back!

Spotted this April Fool - Faro style

The Telegraph had an article on recolonising the dodo by Cambridge University but I can't be certain that's an AF

@WithIcePlease - did it have this photo of the babies?

The express has a live blog of them, there's some amusing stuff eg Toolstation launching a scent range!

A lovely one from Kew Gardens

Meet April, our resident tree hugger 🌿

That’s brilliant. I love the warm up exercises, and training her colleague.

I wish being a tree hugger was a real job, I’d be first in the queue for the role.

Well, apparently the Archbishop of Wales has said peace in the Middle East is possible.

Village near me has announced that there will be 3 main road closures as the council have decided it is too costly for them to keep repairing them. They've been blocked off with no work being done for weeks so they'll just stay permanently closed now.

Innocent (smoothie people) sent this one:

Heinz announcing they're making a ketchup based line of hair care

Not actually that ridiculous given the MN thread this morning about the cure for hair that's gone green from a swimming pool!

mrsdineen2 · 01/04/2024 14:17

Wrong thread

John Major heading up Reform?

One member of my cycling group had a suggestion this morning, that we should all cycle to the lovely village of Loof Lirpa!

I had an email from COOK annnouncing a cool new dish for summer. When I opened it there was a photo of a tray of ice cubes. I assume it was an April Fool, in which case that's the first time I have had an AF in an email.

I've not spotted any in my brief scan of The Times this morning - except maybe the polygon puzzle which is how I like to get my brain in gear with my morning cuppa, that was a disappointing joke with only four words to find today.Hmm

Seagulls and chips, I reckon, but the news is so mad lately who knows. The polygon was weird, where's the challenge in finding one word?

That's no joke, he's said that for years - specifically a cultural Anglican.Confused

Oh, no.....I April Fooled myself then 😂

An email from Biscuiteers saying in response to many requests we can now order a life size gingerbread man biscuit , with a photo of it next to a woman .

A later email saying it was an April Fool's and that they will send two for the price of one next time normal size is ordered ! 😅

Worsethingshappenatsea · 01/04/2024 14:51

I saw an article on Facebook earlier Katie Price and JJ to be the new experts on next series of Married at first sight and thought this has got to be April fool !

Lego have released a supersized Tim minion. The size of the instruction manual was the giveaway.
