So, the manufacturer of Durex is to be sold to Reckitt Benckiser

Aren’t they the company that makes Cillit Bang?

… and Finish dishwasher tablets

Argh! Too many pun opportunities to choose just one!

Durex maker SSL agrees £2.5bn bid from Cillit Bang firm

Have you heard of an echo?

0121 BST: BBC producer Claire Kendall reports hearing two shots coming from the riverside area.

0218 BST: Northumbria Police confirm that “no shots were fired by police officers” and “it appears the suspect shot himself”.

So …. two shots were fired but only by Moat?

Did he somehow miss with his first shot?

After Lampard’s non-goal there are calls for technology to be used at football matches

How clever of FIFA to arrange for an illegal goal in the next match to be allowed to restore the balance

England shouldn’t be too keen for all historic matches to be reviewed, though

Even “44 years of hurt” scans better than “Infinite years of hurt”

Kirsti isn’t impressed

Morning, Kirsti. What did you think of the Doctor Who finale last night?

Meh. Feed me.

You didn’t think it was well written, clever and funny?

No, I thought why’s Fatso watching a programme for kids? Now feed me.

‘sup, Kirsti?

Well?

That’s not very polite

What’s up, Mr Fatso? Feed me.

Science win

Teenage yachtswoman Abby Sunderland has met up with her brother on Reunion island

Apparently it wasn’t the closest land to where she was rescued, it just seemed appropriate

Sounds familar?
