From pubs to puns
Our local pub has a quiz night every Sunday, and until a few years ago, it had my favourite challenge, which was 'Best Team Name'. I always enjoyed inventing a great topical team name, as it was a nice challenge, and a great ego-boost if I won.

Anyway, do you all remember a few years back, when Edwina Currie published her autobiography? She revealed she had had an affair with John Major while he was in office, which is not pretty imagery.

Thanks to that otherwise boring and disgusting announcement, I came up with the best 'fake headline' team name ever:

"Major Runs After Currie"

The pub groaned. I won.

A mate of mine swears this was a Daily Mail headline
During the BSE epidemic, they (supposedly) ran the headline "It's curtains for beef!".

If it was, I didn't see it.
And nor did anyone else in our pub. I would never even read the Daily Mail, let alone steal from it.
