GREAT YARMOUTH - For the third time in five years Brassica oleracea bullata major (commonly known as the savoy cabbage) has been voted the UK's most erotic vegetable by a panel of industry experts. Speaking at the extravagant after show party hosted each year by Alan Titchmarsh, Brassica oleracea bullata major said that "the Cruciferae category was always going to be tight, especially with Raphanus sativus (radish) doing such good work. I was just thrilled to be asked back again and winning is the icing on the cake".

bandaidBananrama 'devastated' by their omission from Band Aid 20 line up
LONDON - Surviving members of 80s pop trio Banarama recently confessed to being 'devastated' at not being asked to appear on the Band Aid 20 single. "I'm really pleased that Bono reprises the line he sang twenty years earlier" said founder member Sarah Elizabeth Dalin, "but for many people, we were the voice of the original Band Aid single". The reformed band are still without Siobhan Fahay, who surprised critics in 1988 by leaving the trio to form, against all odds, the even worse duo 'Shakepseare's Sister'.
