Pheebs says:I had a dream about you last night
Pheebs says:Every thing I was saying you were in the background with your guitar singing it
Pheebs says:it was great
Pheebs says:I made you sing poo poo poo diddy poo!

Pheebs says: are you joking?
Pheebs says:Cos I'm gulliable.

And then... two minutes later...
Belmit says:Did you see that news report last night about the little animal thing they found on the moon?
Pheebs says:no no!
Pheebs says:Whats that about then?

It has at least an air of truth about it - West Berkshire don't plan - they stumble from one crisis to the next.
Speaking of crises - where's my free bus pass eh WBC? :huh:

I've pranked one of the guys I work with, taking a screenshot of his desktop, making it the background, and removing all of his desktop icons. I'm wondering how long it'll take him to figure out what I've done :D
This is a superb one:

For you old school fr34ks
This one on photography restrictions is fantastic (http://www.epuk.org/News/836/met-to-relax-london-photography-restrictions).
The PSICO scheme is expected to be officially announced next week by Mayor Ken Livingstone as part of his election campaign against photography, drugs and street crime.
A pilot scheme set to begin next month will see the Metropolitan Police taking a less restrictive approach to street photography in the capital by agreeing not to approach registered photographers.
“If, say, someone who normally takes pictures of cats and sunsets is detected photographing somewhere like Heathrow where there are no cats or sunsets, then the system will flag them up, and – certainly at a sensitive location like Heathrow – we would take them down fast.”
he pulses of light are reflected back by the coating on camera lenses, and triangulation between separate CCTV cameras allows police to see a real-time map of where photographers are working. Each of these spots is then cross-referenced with the radio-transmitted position of accredited photographers wearing RFID jackets, with police officers being sent to intercept unregistered photographers.

I only realised it was Fools day 4 minutes ago when i typed in your & it posted mine :huh:
Didn't eeven make me laugh & i am gutted i missed ripping the piss out of the general public. I am normally quite good at fools day but this year I Fail.
Nobody got me and I woke up too late to have time to get anyone else. :(
Heard on the radio this morning that the EU were planning on banning the pint in pubs in favour of a small measurement by the end of the year and that 1/2 pints would still be available in plastic cups.
Trouble is, I was between snoozes so woke up fully believing that some teetotal Welsh MEP was responsible for removing one of my favourite measurements! I think I was actually livid, until I mentioned it to someone at work and they laughed me down.
Think I'll have a beer.

Subject: EMP Virus
Importance: High
Hello Users,
Please be aware that it has come to our attention in IT that a malicious malware virus was discovered today that is encrypted into the master code of various supposedly ‘safe’ websites (Hotmail / BBC / eBay / Tesco etc) The malicious software known as EMP will cause your computer to slowdown and in some cases reboot.
The main cause of this is a low level electromagnetic pulse that is created by your computers disk drive (usually used for formatting data by administrators) so in the interests of safety can I ask you all not to use the internet for any purpose until informed by us in IT. If you use a website where this virus is present please be aware that there is a chance it will erase everything on your hard drive and in some cases it will also delete anything on disks within 20 feet of your computer so in the interests of safety please keep all credit /debit and bank cards away from your computer.
Regards

Amazingly, there were still people ringing them after this to find out if their PCs were affected.
No one got me, but then I was only in work for 6 minutes this morning before driving to Luton Airport to pick up 2 Italians. I figured the crashed lorry near J16 of the M1 might have been an April Fools joke though.
i was (voluntarily) rick rolled by youtube :eek: :D

I told him I was pregnant today for an april fool joke. He was quite happy though. Bah.

Did that to my old boss last year..... he phoned the IT department and told em his PC was knackered.... I creased up and had to confess. ;D
Nobody even tried in work here. Very, very dull!
Same here Jen. The day went by without so much as a "HAAAAAAA, TRICKED YOU!!". Didn't even realise it was April Fools until I read this thread.
No-one bothered at my workplace either, but I'd already been rickrolled by then (not by Belmit - that site is permabanned from my network ;D).
that site is permabanned from my network ;D
Bah! Next time Gadget, next time...

No-one fooled me! :D But my Mum showed me the Guardian and they had a story claiming that Gordon Brown had hired Carla Bruni to be a sort of fashion expert to join his "government of many talents". :D
Oh and there is a story that the Bahrainis have banned camels from being on TV for this weeks GP. The Bahrainis have scientific proof that people upon seeing camels on TV immediately think of the ex-F1 tobacco sponsor Camel and so go off and light up. :D
