    I saw an article on the bbc website a few weeks back which made me laugh. The first paragraph of the article is pure gold, even if it doesn't make the show i still think you would like the story.

    Hey, im Lucy, and im from South Wales.
    It's pretty much a boring place so i was inspired to hear about the three "Chrisoffmyspace" boys. Their making it their mission to have a good time, and are cheering the community up through their videos which involve attempting to feed seagulls by attatching food to kites and tricking unaware people into becoming lemmings. You'll understand more if you watch their videos...



    Im a huge fan of Russell Howard, and these guys so it would be fantastic if they could get a mention. :D xxxx

    Hi Russell!

    "The police told me it was a distraction but I pointed to the potholes and said that they were too."

    I have to say when i read these two articles on the sky news website i almost wet myself

    the first article which grabbed my attention was that Thai police are taking monkey's as police recruits (link below)



    and the second article which is just as bizzare is that in Sydney where they have had a royal easter parade they have dressed up real ducks in dresses! (link below)



    i hope these articles are bizzare enough! x

    Priceless banter: Antiques Roadshow 7pm Sunday 4th April. Check the background for a chunky spectator with a striped top. His expressions are hilarious and he hands down wins "surprised face of the week." He appears first behind a families silver set and then again behind a Faberg茅 match box. This needs to be seen. The transition from smug to shocked is uncompromising,

  • Comment number 37.

    Unfortunately there is no video footage of this incident that happened at a Dunfermline v Ayr match on 20th February but I thought that you be interested, stewards at East End Park stop people from standing but are happy to let a 7 foot bear attempt to sledge down the stand, article on this link

    Some pictures are on this site

    Hey,

    last week you talked about rappers who talk about normal stuff and I was reminded of this guy who I'd seen on youtube). His name's Jon Lajoie. 'Everyday normal guy' and 'Sunday afternoon' are very cool- well they make me chuckle!). Here's the link;

    Everyday normal guy- some swearing kids!

    Girl getting suspended for a "skimpy" dress...?
    (They've evidently never been to Newcastle if they think that's skimpy)

  • Comment number 41.

    Now I haven't read the story, but the Headline made me laugh, a great belly laugh:

    Unexplained sheep attacks 'caused by aliens in UFOs', farmers claim. now it's in shropshire so this quote could be about literally anywhere:
    鈥淭hey are built by technology and intelligence that's not from here.鈥

  • Comment number 42.

    one other choice quote from the article, sorry about this : 鈥淔or a short while it looked more like a Star Wars battle.鈥

    Now, I'm no genius, but how can a star wars battle involve aliens and sheep ... I suppose if star wars was set in Wales then maybe, but that's not the point

  • Comment number 44.

    dammit my daft computer left out the quote I put in. It's from the same article and the person interviewed was confused because:
    "I couldn't believe it - the woman has a mini-skirt and high heels on and very big breasts.
    "I just couldn't work out what it was for?
    "Does it mean I have to look out for prostitutes crossing or that they are available around here?"

  • Comment number 45.

    are you aware that one of your facebook groups has labelled you as a buisness/service. It kind of sounds like your a prostitute - No offence of course

  • Comment number 46.

    I can't find the original story, but this is on anavova, so you lot should be able to find it real easy.

    Hi, this is going to be a long comment, as I don't have a handy link. I was reading the week magazine (27th march) and this came from the 'spirit of the age' section:
    A call-centre worker who tucked into a colleague's biscuits during a long night shift was sacked, arrested and prosecuted. Pamela Harrison, the owner of the 拢7 M&S selection box discovered the crime when she came to work in the morning. She reported it to her superiors, who looked at CCTV footage to identify the culprit: Michael Campbell. Last week he pleaded guilty to theft and was fined 拢7. Harrison told the court that Campbell had "invaded her privacy" and made her feel "insecure".
    I never realsied you could be sacked over biscuits!!

    odd laws: 1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament.

    3. In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless except as a clerk in a tropical fish store.

    4. Mince pies cannot be eaten on Christmas Day.

    5. In Scotland, if someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your toilet, you must let them enter.

    6. In the UK a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman's helmet.

    7. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the King, and the tail of the Queen.

    8. It is illegal not to tell the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing.

    9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament in a suit of armour.

    10. In the city of York it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow.

    Hi Guys, not sure if this could be covered in your current series or not, for the feel good bit at the end of the show?

    For the Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths (FSID) save a baby month during May, I'll be skating (rollerboots) 120 miles over 3 days from Bristol childrens hospital to FSID head quarters in London trying to raise 拢1000 to help the charity continue its fantastic work, any publicity the charity could get for this would be great.

    keep up the good work!

    Dear Russell,

    I saw this really funny article on a 12 year old boy spending 拢900 of his mums money on the facebook game, Farmville. I thought it was hilarious and also thought how great his farm must be with 拢900 to spend. Please put this on your show as I'm sure you guys can come up with a really funny sketch to make fun of it. Here's the article link so you can have a good funny read up on it.



    Thanks,

  • Comment number 76.

    A while ago I went to see Blue Streak at the cinema by myself - it was about a 2 pm showing.

    As I was waiting in the foyer, there was some commotion from I'd say a mentally challenged dude - sort of like 'Warren,' out of 'There's Something About Mary.' I didn't think anything of it at the time - he was going off on one because there was a queue of 3 people at the box office (me included).

    Anyway, I bought my ticket and went in - it was the largest cinema, about 500 seat. The cinema was deserted because it was day time and everybody was at work - or at school. Whatever. I went right to the back and sat directly in the middle.

    Somebody came in at the bottom of the cinema - it was that mentally challenged dude. I tracked him as he walked up the stairs, it slowly dawned on me what was going on as he approached the very back row where I was sat. There were 499 other seats, why did he have to sit near me. Anyway he sat down directly next to me. He got a tupperware beaker out of his back-pack and put it in the cup holder on the arm of the seat. And then he got another out, and another, and another - until there was a row of nine beakers along the back row. I thought it was a bit surreal and weird.

    I paid it no mind and got on with watching the movie. Then he started talking to himself about the characters in the movie, it was so annoying. Then he shocked me by freaking out, it looked like he was energetically trying to catch flies with chopsticks. I took about another five minutes of this, and then I moved about halfway down the cinema so I could concentrate on the movie.

    Then he walked past me, what the hell did I need to do to get some peace? Then he came back in - with another drink! He went out about another five or six time during the movie periodically, and each time he went out he came in with another drink. But the last time that he went out takes the biscuit, because when he returned he had a completely different set of clothes on - and I don't know how he did it because he didn't have his back-pack with him.

    I haven't been able to work out since then how he did it, but I learned a valuable lesson of not to visit the cinema during the day because their are some really freaky people who go at that time.

  • Comment number 77.

    This is a story that a friend of mine flagged my attention towards. The way its shown makes you think its shocking, but think about it its just adaptation from America. they are now calling it "Broken-Britain" so if this has broken Britain, why is America still fine!? Ridiculous, and I think I read somewhere that the sun is blaming this on the Labour party because there is so much racial difference in the country. Hope you can use this in the show:

    Hi Russel,
    Will you please very kindly Consider my daughter鈥檚 charity to get a mention in your good news section of the show.
    My daughter Kirsty suffers from Neurofibromatosis, which causes tumours to grow on the nerve endings, scoliosis and other medical problems.
    Kirsty attends hospital almost weekly and has done for over five years.
    Kirsty鈥檚 went to Lapland to visit the real Santa with the Charity When You Wish upon a Star when she was nine years old for how well she copes with her own condition for which there is no cure. On this magical trip Kirsty made friends with another child of the same age, on there return back from Lapland both girls gave each other a huge hug and promised each other they would be best friends for ever, unfortunately two weeks later I received a call from the mother of Kirsty鈥檚 new friend to say sadly her daughter had passed away, Kirsty was really upset and asked me if the money had not been raised that year would her new friend still have gone to Lapland, I had to tell her 鈥淣O鈥 and from that day on Kirsty was determined to raise the money needed to send 100 poorly children on the same magical trip to Lapland that she went on and 2008 she raised the 拢65.000 needed for the full cost of the trip. Kirsty is now trying to raise a further 拢80.000 so that she can send 40 poorly children and their families on a much needed holiday to Centre Parcs for five days.
    Kirsty also runs her own web page and helps people all over the Globe she has now written a book, which is about her fight against Neurofibromatosis and should be on sale in july, sales of the book will also help different charities
    Kirsty鈥檚 web page is [Broken URL removed by Moderator] anyone wanting to donate can do by clicking on her justgiving site or if they want to buy any of her pin badges, keyrings they can also email her from the web page.
    Kirsty鈥檚 had some bad cards dealt her but she is not going to give in and is determined to raise the money needed for this holiday. When you wish upon a star grants wishes for children with life threatening conditions.

    Thank you for your time I hope you consider us
