Becker: "I once ate a shoe"

Former tennis star, Boris Becker, has today admitted that he once ate a shoe shaped like Abraham Lincoln on a Thursday which he had mistaken for a cake.
The admission came at an event where Boris was booked as the after-dinner speaker.
Many guests walked out when the story was told.

The £3,948.26 per head event had caused some controversy, as it had been planned to take place underwater.
But the Thames Committee had turned down the event application.
London Mayor Boris Johnson felt this was a little harsh, but later admitted he was too busy trying to figure out how to use his toaster to care.

Meanwhile Becker has vowed to continue with his after-dinner spokesman career.

Giant Hedgehog Eats Milton Keynes


It can be confirmed that Milton Keynes has been eaten by a giant hedgehog.
The incident happened just after 2.30pm and was apparently an unprovoked attack.

A UN peacekeeping force have been deployed and are currently preparing for a counter attack, which SWN believes will be carried out from near Luton.

The hedgehog is currently believed to be sleeping off a massive meal of Southern folk and various buildings.
It had saved many vehicles for dessert.

We can confirm many people had been tried to run for it, but had been impaled on hedgehog spikes.

The Prime Minister Gordon Brown was unavailable for comment, but a spokesman for the PM had hinted that Mr Brown was feeling "quite agitated".

Justin Hawkins Signs Deal With Norwich City

It has just been brought to Squirrel Sports News attention that the former frontman of one of the worst bands ever formed, Justin Hawkins of The Darkness - now thankfully defunct, has signed a contract with English Championship strugglers Norwich City.

It is believed Hawkins only accepted the $23.48 per annum contract on the basis he gets to design all the home, away and pointless kits for the next four seasons.

A spokesman for Norwich City confirmed that the Hawkins is in fact a Norwich City player, and could make his debut at the weekend.
"With Darren Huckerby making sounds about leaving Carrow Road, it was important that we looked for new forward talent as soon as possible. Justin fits the bill. He's under 55 and unattached and also has a fine eye for fashion. We hope Justin will make our kits the best the world has ever seen. We have talked about his music career, but got bored after 39 seconds. He's not planning a comeback, Hallelujah."

Norwich City wouldn't however confirm rumours that they were also to bolster their midfield with the triple-signing of Bryan Adams, Norah Jones and Tom Araya (of Slayer fame).

Exciting times at Norwich City!

Here Hawkins can be seen wearing what we believe is to be Norwich City's new home strip for the 2008/2009 season.

Fighting Penguins Disrupt Antwerp

A killer pigeon prepares to attack in Antwerp, earlier today
Residents of the Belgian city Antwerp have been trapped in doors fearing for their safe being, in face of a spate of incidents involving violent pigeons.
The pigeons started causing havoc late last night, turning over parked cars and eating a pet cat.
The cat's owner is too upset to talk at present.

Local police have recorded reports of over twenty incidents where members of the public were attacked by several penguins at once, whilst walking the streets.
Some eye witness accounts reveal that the penguins were actually fighting amongst themselves before turning the focus of their attacks on people.

One man in his early thirties suffered a broken leg, a broken wrist and had his head completely removed then put back on upside-down.
We believe he is making steady progress in hospital.

One woman wasn't so fortunate.
She was taken to Luxembourg.

Scientists in the Beveren region are trying to come to a conclusion on to why the attacks are occurring with such alarming frequency.
However, at this stage they haven't yet made it out of a local bar; but we will have details as they come.
In the meantime, pigeon combat experts have warned local residents not to leave their homes unless it is absolutely necessary.
A local brewer is planning to call on the services of Jean Claude Van Damne who has recently setup a pigeon extermination company, based in Azerbaijan.
Despite being incredibly lame, Van Damne is still amazingly popular in his native Belgium.

Graeme Le Saux Found Drinking in a Pub Shocker!

Graeme Le Saux, the ex-footballer and current winner of BBC27's "Celebrity I've Got A Limp Wrist and Listen to Erasure", was spotted drinking in a pub in Northampton today.
Allegedly he was drinking lager, however this cannot be confirmed.
One punter suspected that Le Saux was actually drinking his own urine.

The landlord asked Squirrel World News not to name him or the pub, for fear of anti Le Saux vandalism attacks on his public house.
The landlord was surprised to see Le Saux there however:
"I couldn't believe it when he walked in! I could've cried! In fact - I did. Twice. What the f are you doing here? I asked him. But he replied in a voice so gay, I had to run upstairs to be sick."

Charlie Dimmock Leads Presidential Elections


Recent polls indicate that TV gardener, Charlie Dimmock, is the leading candidate in the elections for the Presidential vacancy of the Bath and Avon Over 50's Bingo club.
The previous President, Chuck Norris, stood down last week following controversy over the standard of knitwear he was wearing.
Many members thought that Norris was not wearing knitwear of the required standard that would befit their club president.
Although angry at the allegations made, Norris maintains he has no plan to exterminate any members.
It is predicted that Dimmock currently has a 86.93% majority over her nearest rival - Ron Atkinson.
Current Vice-President, Gareth Gates, is thought to be the least popular of the current crop of candidates, but is said to be "preparing to do battle" to gain the initiative in the battle for the top job.
When Gates says he is going to do battle, this is usually a cue for people to plug their ears.

Lord Lucan found in Manchester City trophy room

Suspected killer and ice-cream fondler, Lord Lucan, has been found alive and well in Premiership club, Manchester City's trophy room.

The room which has not been used since the early seventies, was opened to let the stench of mediocrity escape, when the discovery was made."It was him alright..." said Michael Jackson, who was there on a week long trial as a corner flag, "I instantly recognised his face and his hair ......and his lovely soft hands...and his pert little bottom", added the ghostly white freak.

Club officials immediately phoned the local takeaway for some pizza and then held a meeting in a nearby mortuary (players lounge), to discuss what to do next."We have decided to give Lord Lucan the chance to give himself up to the authorities...or we will be forced to give him a place in our upcoming midweek match", said the club tea-lady.

When asked about the situation, club manager Sven Goran Erikson would only say "He's a good lad, an' were 100% behind him...he just needs to show the commitment that I, and everyone else, expect from a former killer, who wants to make it in the world of mid-table football."

New National Retirement Age Set to 402

Under proposed government guidelines, the home secretary is set to announce that the official retirement age for men and women living in the UK is to be increased to 402, by the year 1985.

Giant Fluffy Bear Terrorises Pub Regulars

The Crown & Cheesegrater pub in Wycombe was closed as an emergency situation arose in the most unusual circumstances.
A 12ft Arctic polar bear came into the lounge bar and seemingly made the decision to eat a barmaid, after she refused to serve the bear a pint of the award-winning Wadsworth's Bagel Armpit pale ale.

Regulars in the pub were seen to be "running around screaming like a load of big girls in frilly dresses", as observed by the landlord Damian Sockbridge.

The landlord rectified the situation by appealing for the bear to remain calm, and offered the bear an alternative tipple.
The bear ripped off the landlords right hand and hit a customer repeatedly with the wet end.
One frightened customer left without even eating a just purchased bag of hula-hoops.
The bear made the following statement to the National Association for English Polar Bears:
"Grrrlllloooooorrrrrgggghhhhhh oooooaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhh. Yep."

It can been revealed that the Toilet 2's prime objective is to seek out intelligent life and maybe find evidence of toilet facilities.

Newcastle Sack Keegan

BREAKING NEWS!!

Kevin Keegan has been sensationally sacked as manager of Newcastle after less than 2 days in charge.

Although the full details are yet to come to light, it would seem the mighty Kev was less than impressed at Mike Ashley's - the Newcastle United owner - suggestion that the reserve team coach duties should be shared between Ronan Keaton and Jan Leeming.

A member of the office staff at St James' Park told Squirrel World News that Keegan is thought to have preferred William Shatner as reserve coach.

Keegan also wanted to make Paul McKenna club captain, which did not go down well with the current club captain Felicity Kendall.

However, super Kev may return to the recording studio later this month to record his first single in 30 years.

Giant Toilet Roll Terrorises Manchester

Manchester, England, was today the victim of an attack by a giant toilet roll.
Hundreds of people were horrified to be confronted by the massive walking toilet roll as they approached Piccadilly Gardens in the central area of the city.
One witness, who works in an office block which forms part of the gardens, described his terror as he was making his way to work.
"I turned the corner at Kro Bar to be confronted by a real live giant toilet roll man. It was horrible, like something out of that movie ... you know the one ... er ... Jaws 2, that was it!"

Others also claimed to have witnessed a giant walking "oven ready" chicken.
It cannot be confirmed at this moment whether the chicken was connected to the giant toilet roll attack.

Sources close to CID and Greater Manchester Police have issued a warning to travellers to the city centre for tomorrow:
"Beware of a giant mongoose and also of a giant rotating octopus. Our intelligence have told us they have been spotted moving in towards the central area of Manchester. They are currently near the Oldham area. However, we can confirm the giant toilet roll was disposed of accordingly".
A spokesman for GMP refused to confirm that they had used a giant Andrex puppy to rid the city centre of the giant toilet roll.

The giant "oven ready" chicken appears to have disappeared or has gone into hiding - more on this beast as we get information.

However, it has been revealed that Goody has been attending Archers Tattoos and Stuff Emporium in Colchester, Essex, where the average "treatment" is quoted as "£12.50 and/or a favour".
Local Colchester people complained of seeing a "self-obssessed minger" wobbling about in the streets, just before tea time.
Corrective surgery is scheduled for 18th Novtember 2307.
