Any April Fools Day 'pranks'?

The Ferrari dealership thought that their customer would notice that they had disconnected the brakes on the new car...

(They got less than 2 miles out of it! )

There was a similar case in 'the local media' the other day, where the owner of a 3 month old, wait a few years to have one made 75 grand Morgan sports car, crashed the thing into a lampost in Accrington town centre while quote...'pissed up'! You wait 2 years to get your car then after just 3 months of driving the thing you get a ban to stick another at least 12 months on that wait!!

Edit.....Just thought. The thing looked like a write off, so no 75 grand car awaits at the end of the forthcoming ban!

Oh I think those probably really exist for the doodles, pugs and cockerpoos in SW London!

I spotted then chatted with a woman with a Pembroke/Welsh Corgi last week. My mum and dad had two of them from 1956 to 1978. I must say it was a pleasant sight to see a very rarely seen dog these days! Unlike those fashion accessory dogs ( you forgot 'Frenchies') you mentioned.

There's a plan to put in narrow-gauge railway in, from the car-parks..............

Given that it's probably 1-in-30 to the top one, it might have to be a rack-railway?

I did suggest a funicular, to the top-floors (instead of the boring lifts)

I'm not sure how serious this is

Park tools have released a new bike repair tool:



Just don't ask what it does.

If anyone in our lab was having difficulty getting something to work, someone would tell them they need a DFA.

Spoiler

Different F*ckin' Arrangement

. Once when a useless handsfree unit got redesigned, the new one became universally known as the Handsfree DFA, a title that then found it's way onto the production drawings. When someone in the factory phoned up and asked the engineer what it stood for, he said "Er....Dynamic Frequency Assessment".

That's also a common acronym in the live sound world - if a punter approached the sound engineer and says it's too loud/too quiet/too toppy/too bassy/too much guitars/not enough guitars etc, the sound engineer would say "Hmmm, maybe, let me tweak the DFA a little - twiddles a knob - does that sound better?"

DFA - Does F... All

But what about this? Combined noise-cancelling headphones and air-filter?

Didn't Radio 2 once get Rob Brydon to pose as Ken Bruce for his entire show?.

Yes and it was hilarious

Ken chatted a while ago with Rob about it. Apparently, people phoned in to ask if Ken was ill as he sounded a bit 'different'.
I bet Popmaster was fun

I've forged an invoice for 'premium membership' from PornHub and delivered it to my workplace - put it in the mail basket when the secretary wasn't looking. Splashed out on an envelope and even did the stamp so it would look real.

Was forwarded onto Finance, then Chief Accountant, then CFO and then apparently discussed at Board level until someone noticed the stamp was just tails of a 5p coin

Last year, PlanetX had an ad for helium filled tyres to make the bike lighter.
