Can I suggest something with a headline along the lines of 'Labour Landslide Victory' might be indicative of one or other of youse guys beining involved!

ooo, satire.

I think half the challenge would be our 'contestants' trying to figure out what sort of story a national newspaper would be more likely to print and how far they could stretch the credulity of the journalists.

They should try to get a reference to an bearded older gentleman called Mandrake in it though. The name could be either a surname (Ian Mandrake maybe) or a nickname that the locals refer to him by (Old Man Mandrake). It should, of course, be any entirely flattering portrait.

Seconded. Finally a challenge that combines Lawrenses and Beardys desire to one up eachother with my desire to see them both in a one piece bathing suite.

Also whats up with her hand in this video? Did she get infected by the borg?

It's not the "learning a new skill" I was hoping for really, but can do.
Grab me on facebook later to discuss.

So what would your preferred name be? Old Man Drake? Mr Mandrake? 'Man the Drakes!'?

Amazing Half Man, Half Duck? No, I think I'll leave all that you your combined creative juices...fnarr..

National Newspaper standard sounds like a plan.

Something akin to the coverage of Dan Baines "Mummified Fairy" would be fairly impressive. Might be wise to keep some of the key stuff off of here though as Google is pretty hot on finding threads on TalkMagic...

Just waiting to chat it out with Beardyman.
