    Wasn't there one when the supporters director was going g to present Simon Jordan with a plaque in thanks for Palace saving us in 1985.

    That got the people.on Addickted.com and the Palace sites going.

    Ahh Addickted.net. Those were the days. I used to be a mod there (and a pesky little s*** as well).

    Now, if @AFKABartram had done an announcement that the pressure was getting too much. So, to save costs and pool resources and in the light of the new-found co-operation, CL and ITTV had decided to merge into one new forum called Valley Life. That would have been fun.

    Valley Life is not a bad name TBH

    Golden oldie, but I always manage to get someone every year. This year it was the new girl in the office!

    Please ring back Theresa Green - 0300 067 4000

    They ring it, and it's the number for the Forestry Commission!

    I didn't do it as an April Fools, but was funny that Palace fans bought it at first. Plus it also led to some fantastic Ben bashing

    Ha, ha. Shame the links don't work but a lot of people fell for that hook, line and sinker.

    Yeah, always good to get someone on one of those. I used "please ring Mr G Raff on 020 7449 6200" - the number for London Zoo. But the buggers went and ruined it by putting a recorded message on saying it was April 1st and giving an alternative number if you really wanted to speak with them.

    I've fallen for about 4 this morning. I must be tired everytime I read FB i just thought what the hell!

    DA9 got me a good one i went off searching for Zippos circus blackwall tunnell on twitter.

    Im a dozy tart.

    Im actually having horrors about the Zippo lorry crashing story this morning. I read it whilst on the train and the only reason I didnt ring Ian to tell him was because he wasnt going via the Blackwall today. Imagine the other passengers as I told him there was a Zebra roaming the tunnel.

    I'm a div at times.. bit like me turning to babestation the other week as Dermot Oleary was dancing live on there.

    Following on from the Richard III hoo-ha, I heard on the radio this morning that Henry VII's bed had been found. Thrown out by (IIRC) a hotel, DNA tests had shown that it was the actual bed in which Henry VII's sons Arthur and Henry (the future King Henry VIII) had been conceived. Took me a while to suss out that it was an April Fool's gag. It was only when they said it had an estimated value of £20m that I realised I was being a plonker.

    Yesterday a Czech paper ran a story that the new metro station opening just up the road from me, has no escalator linking it with the new bus terminal above the station, where buses take people on to the airport. So the solution is a 19th century one. The airport will provide porters to assist people up the steps with their luggage.

    It is so ridiculous that everyone thought it was an April Fool article. The paper had to print a follow up explaining that it is all too true, and yet another example of the breathtaking incompetence and corruption in Prague City Hall.
