Punorama

12:14 UK time, Wednesday, 30 August 2006

The rules are as simple as could be: we pick a story in the news, you come up with a punning headline.

Pancakes manThis week it was the story of a student whose home-made movie film about his love of pancakes became an internet hit and how he uses his fame to recommend Aberdeen University.

James Provan (right) loves pancakes so much he shot a video in his flat about how to make them and . It became a hit, catapulting Mr Provan to global fame - an achievement that set him on course to become an ambassador for his university.

So, how did you punsters do?

Many of you took James' surname as your inspiration, including Mark Wrighton in London with Flip-tastic video is a Provan success, Mal Walker in Adelaide, Australia, with Pancake movie a Provan success and O.G.Nash in Doha, Qatar, with Video Provan anyone can be a star

Thinking along the same lines were DS in Bromley, England, and Martin Price in the UK with Panbassador. Also, Norm Brown in Australia and Gareth Jones in Anglesey with Flour of Scotland.

Honourable mentions go to Crepe expectations from Candace in New Jersey, US, Batter by far - Aberdeen Uni is flippin' brilliant! from Rachel in Perth, Australia, Out of the frying-pan into the hire from Susan in Oswaldtwistle, England, and Doing batter than expected from Lynne F in Castleford.

And a special message to Owain Williams in Munich, you weren't the only one so you don't have to eat your hat, and to Paul in Brighton, Magazine Monitor doesn't accept dares - so there.
