This [url= http://www.roadcyclinguk.com/news/article/mps/uan/3932 ]Rapha Bespoke Cycling Suit[/url], now I love Rapha kit but I think this must be a joke.

Though the rapha story is from yesterday, not today.

Have a look on youtube

google do good ones

I like the BBC one about the shark whale on their home page.

I came in to a message on my voicemail from Wiggle about my helmet order saying they were concerned the one I ordered was too small for my head.

Like a fanny I phoned the number they left and it turned out to be a colleague at the wind up. 😆

just got my colleague with the classic phone message, "please call back Mr Lyons on xxxx (tel number for dudley zoo) 😆

wharrafanny!

I heard that all the Big Bike Bash tickets had sold out already...

The biggest April fool must be the

G20 summit pretending they are listening and want to change the way things are done ....

For the Scotchish

I used to work in a museum and art gallery and one of the galleries was unstaffed, but there was a one way mirror through to the admin office and the staff who would field the phone calls for the building would just be able to keep half an eye on the gallery while they worked. One April 1st, during lunch, there was a lassie working the phones on her own and through the one way mirror she sees a bloke come into the gallery, drop his pants and lay a big turd in the middle of the carpet. For real, not a wind up of any sort.

She's obviously quite distressed, but every one she calls thinks its a prank, more so because she's exactly the person you'd expect to play a prank. So everyone she calls is just laughing at her, and with it being passed mid day laughing at her even more, and the more upset she gets the more convinced everybody is that she's pulling their leg.

This made me laugh in The Daily Mail. Jacqui Smith coming out of her local Ann Summers Shop.

[b]Google to fund 'video Street View' for Central London[/b]

"The UK's reaction to Street View was a revelation to us," said the spokesman. "Our camera network is a positive force for public safety, but historically people have been suspicious of what they see as intrusive, all-encompassing surveillance. But Google's reception was largely positive, nothing like that. We asked ourselves why, and finally figured out that we were presenting it wrong.

"Basically, it shouldn't be about surveillance at all, it should be about sharing. That's when we got the call from Google - it was almost as if they'd been listening to our meetings."

Pinkbike is humourous

I like [url= http://labs.opera.com/news/2009/04/01/ ]this one from opera[/URL]

I thought that the Shearer/Newcastle thing was a joke.

I went into HSBC Beijing this morning, they wanted 30 quid for me to deposit a 50 quid cheque. I thought that was a joke....

This made me laugh in The Daily Mail

Its April Fools Day every day in the Daily Mail

I thought the alan shearer newcastle manager was an april fool. well i suppose it is. Alan shearer being the fool.

BMW placed an ad in the Guardian about the magnetic towing thing. Also the Guardian had a story on page 3 saying that they were going to become the only newspaper to be exclusively distributed via Twitter. Also they were going to translate their entire past archive into tweets:

1963: JFK shot @ Dallas! def heard 2nd gunshot from grassy knoll WTF?
1927: First transatlantic flight today, cool. Otherwise dull day *sigh*

this is from last year, but well worth revisiting. Genius.

I was watching Obama arrive at Downing Street this morning and one of his security men got out of "The Beast" (huge armoured limo), walked round to the other side and tried to open the door repeatedly - but couldn't.

Made him look a bit foolish on international TV.

I wondered if the Prez had locked it as an April fool.
