Scientists have used margarine to remove the waxy substance found on seabirds

One bird remains critical.

I can't believe it's not better.

Perhaps they did not spread it enough, but er.... I supposed they tried.

Or could they use Stork margarine?

T-rex didn't work on the dinosaurs.

Non sequiteur righteous indignation funnier still.

I apologise @Reiver. I thought Vernon was making a joke. I did not realise there had been news of a major incident today.

Your thoughts were entirely correct.

Apart from the discovery of some hairline cracks in my Mavic XM719 rim this morning, the only other major incidents today have been the guilty plea of Chris Huhne, the confirmation that the Leicester car par skeleton is Richard III and my favourite pie shop in Bradford being shut when I drove past.

Did they find Richard's car as well?

I have a hunch that they didn't.

Was it a petrel tanker?

Don't you mean: "Now is the winter of our discount tents" as used by outdoors leisure companies during their January sales.?

You don't listen to/watch news much then? It's been a running story for the past three or four days.

5 years Vern's been waiting to use that gag... you remember Duggie Brown?

Chris Huhne only came clean this morning - you were wrong with this one.
The conformation was only made today - you were wrong with this one
The hairline cracks were only discovered today - you were wrong with this one.
The pie shop was also closed on Sunday so you were partially right here
