Boyo once produced the legendary slug for a story on a drugs seizure at Madrid Airport: "COCAINE IN SPAIN COMES MAINLY IN BY PLANE"<br /><br />I once toyed with a headline for a story which reported that Vietnamese Commie boss Nong Duc Manh had blamed US-based exile Montagnard leader Ksor Kok for unrest which read "VIETNAM VIOLENCE - MANH FINGERS KSOR KOK". <br /><br />Neither of us have ever risen to the levels of the fabulous typo produced by a colleague: "RUSSIA'S CHIEF RABBIT CONDEMNS DAGHESTAN BLAST".<br /><br />We all bow in awe to the WWII sub on the Daily Mail who headlined a story on the Battle of El Alamein "EIGHTH ARMY PUSH BOTTLES UP GERMANS"Gyppo Byardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08823690986571629011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753176231132205902.post-69364621778748671862009-09-21T08:36:04.054-07:002009-09-21T08:36:04.054-07:00Hmmm... now I understand where all the dodgy headl...Hmmm... now I understand where all the dodgy headlines come from.<br />SxMs Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449626572478125088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753176231132205902.post-32821701249025493392009-09-21T08:09:10.667-07:002009-09-21T08:09:10.667-07:00Stand easy!Stand easy!M C Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09915316267943374795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753176231132205902.post-79796025163272837592009-09-21T07:59:47.581-07:002009-09-21T07:59:47.581-07:00Oh god, the imagery, the imagery!Oh god, the imagery, the imagery!The Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10051844634899994750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753176231132205902.post-90322379324056030392009-09-21T07:32:00.171-07:002009-09-21T07:32:00.171-07:00Thank you Boyo.
