Cracking BoJo Record headline curries favour

HATS off to my editor Davie for writing the headline to last Friday’s front page about beleaguered Boris Johnson’s trip to India… Last Days of the Radge. Brilliant! Reminded me of the time Tommy Sheridan decided to defend himself in court and an old Daily Record colleague came up with the classic Tommy Drops His Briefs.

According to legend, one hugely impressed reader sent in a cheque for £25 with the instruction to buy a drink for whoever wrote the headline.

Another newspaper colleague was responsible for a cracker when it was reported that Scottish actor Ewan McGregor of Star Wars fame apparently had one of the biggest, erm, lightsabers in Hollywood.

He came up with Boaby Wan

Kenobi… PS. Do you remember the time when giant apes were trained to play table tennis in Hong Kong and a fight broke out between two competitors in one of the tournaments? Nope, neither do I. But apparently the headline in the local paper was King Kong Ding Dong At Hong Kong Ping Pong.
