NHS Headline mix-up

A slightly deaf patient was left devastated today by a misheard headline. "I was listening to a story about patients rating hospitals and thought it was just a load of old bollocks about postcodes, rights, dashboards and the quaint idea that people like me have got the first clue about quality of service," he said this afternoon. "I might be really thick but I reckon it will probably just make them see me quickly and rush me through rather than thinking about what's wrong with me," he added. "Then I heard that headline and thought, that's a service I would rate. But no. Typical bloody NHS, it's never about Joe Bloody Bloggs."

Prince Philip, likely to be besieged by S & M fetishists begging to be abused, is not taking part. Al Fayed's number is barred.

Daily Mail reveals it doesn't understand statistics or language but is disgusted anyway



According to the Daily Mail, the number of under-14 year olds having an abortion has "soared" by 21%. Closer investigation reveals that the soaring 21% amounts to 18 individual children who, in 2007, chose not to become a parent while still a child themselves.

The Daily Mail's confusion is thought to have been caused by its hysteria about underage sex and teenage pregnancy combined with its debilitating fear of abortion which is generally thought to be quite effective in dealing with teenage and other unwanted pregnancies.
