Oh, these are too funny! Maybe a little proof reading would be in order. But then what would we have to laugh about? Have a great weekend, Sally! Xx

ALWAYS be suspicious of those small packages, they must be explored thoroughly before jumping to conclusions….

    We have this Dundee institution called the Courier and the headlines are kind of Airplane downed, Dundee man’s holiday ruined. Yep. On billboards and all. But Mr and I still get a Christmas Card from an old actor friend who now collects headlines. like yours there and they are brilliant. Will keep them the next time xxx

Always knew I had a sick sense of humour… spluttered most over the crane & 800 pound ball headline. Loved them all though. Hilarious
