    The Amusing News Thread.

    Hi all,

    We often need a good laugh more than most so how about a thread to celebrate the weird & wacky light news that just makes you smile? Maybe it's a page of total animal cuteness or an amusing story of something that has happened.

    Let's give each other a reason to or go "awww".

    First one from me:

    A parrot's squawking impersonation of a smoke alarm led to firefighters being called out to a home.

    I really like this one of Lidl trolling the (lovely) John Lewis advert.

    Good on Lidl! Didn't they do something similiar last year?

    John Lewis will find Lidl have that £15 even cheaper.

    You've got to wonder at John Lewis now stocking pianos to go with the advert. That firm are already in trouble (lots of redundancies earlier this year) and it's a niche item. They will look great in the store though![COLOR="blue"]

    Nothing to see here, just some giant ducks wreaking havoc on a village.

    A cow called Knickers is too big to be killed and striking images show it towering over the rest of the herd.
    Knickers weighs 220st and stands at a massive 6ft 4inches tall - but his mammoth size means he gets to live out his days roaming the fields in Western Australia.


    That's huge!!!

    Does this sum up humans? There's simply too much meat on the cow, we want one with less meat on. And not realising breeding with Knickers could mean we have Jurassic Park sized herds in future generations!!!

    The 12 turkeys of Christmas!!!

    Did they escape from somewhere? Over here all that would remain would be feathers & blood and a rather full looking happy fox.

    I bet he was licking his lips at the window

    Makes sense, I never thought about the fires. Does this mean they are very close to you? Stay safe, Lola
