Extract from Story:
According to sources 'close to the hub', very few people are bothering to make the effort to read content on satirical news website TheSpoof.com It's not quite 'nobody', but you get the drift. The site, a going concern since 2001, has, for those 19 years, commanded relatively high viewing figures, but recent changes to the status accorded it by Google News, has meant that interest in The Spo…...

For once I agree with MW, a very seldom occasion, but this spoof is kinda needling the truth here...Pretty good and a big 'foive' from JO Brummie style...

To regain our dwindling audience, I believe it’s time to unveil a new football superstar. Harry Maguire took our minds off Trump and transformed the way we look at sport heroes.

Although my fictional cohorts, Slim and Dirty, are not able to juggle balls and chew gum at the same time, they do provide a respite from Harry, who recently ran afoul of the law.

In the near future, I will attempt to provide a stage for them to display their athleticism.

Slim: “I could have been a contender.”

Dirty: “Yo, Dude. LET’S PLAY BALL!”

Dear Doc, ol arry mate could punch your lights out in a blitz second just by twinkling his pigeon toes...Wonders will never cease, especially in Greek philosophy.

Has ‘Arry ever had sex with Dolly the Sheep? Dolly hasn’t been the same since she had a fling with Michael Moore.

Dear Doc B, to clone is to dethrone, to dethrone is to groan, to groan is to moan, to moan is to phone, to phone is to be alone, to be alone is to set the tone, to set the tone is for nutter's to clone.

But I do like Dolly's cupcakes....

But wait! What's this?

The solution is simple, you follow the trail of cookie crumbs and you will find out who had their hands in the cookie jar.

The meaning of the cookie crumb statement refers to finding out how to write stories that millions of people want to read. As a writer, a person needs to find the highest grossing movies, the best selling novels and the number one song on the charts. Analyse the world acclaimed context and copy the frame work of the material and build your own story.

At one time the movie "Titanic" was the highest grossing movie. The basic element was the romance between Decaprio and his female love interest. As a writer, you can fabricate a similar romance and add some funny to the story. For example: "when he kissed her lips tenderly, he could taste the white truffle sauce he couldn't afford on his own plate."
