KILLER BARNACLES FOUND NEAR PORTSMOUTH

All mayhem broke loose today on the shores of Portsmouth, after a large plague of carnivorous barnacles was found at Scraggy Cove.

The corpse of an unknown smuggler was found half eaten at the scene. The Barnacles are believed to be the newest cloning experiment by Black Bart. When interviewed Mr Bart stated:

'YArrr, after me cloning experiments on meself and DaveL's cat Tiddles were banned, I was stuck for some decent genetic material.

The humble barnacle has proven an absolute goldmine for natural breedin' Those little buggers are randy as hell and can churn out thousands of 'em selves in minutes. For Phase 2, I simply crossed them with a pit pull and what did I get. The Pit Barnacle!!!

The Pit Barnacles have been quarantined by Portsmouth Constabulary, who are hoping to retrain them for guard duty, to prevent smuggler operations. Local graziers are also interested in Bart producing a barnacle that can round up livestock.

The breeding windfall is predicted to assist Bart's dwindling fortune in Fish Head stew, following several lawsuits (and deaths).



WOOF WOOF!!! DOWN BOY!! DOWN BOY!!

PBC COMPETITIONS "FIXED" SCANDAL

There was uproar last night when it was revealed that the Portsmouth Broadcasting Corporation had "acted improperly" in the operation of its premium rate semaphore phone-ins.

The public had been asked to answer such challenging questions as "Which of the following is a flag? A) Jolly Roger, B) Jolly Cecil, C) Jolly Eric." All calls to the competition line were charged at 12 groats a second, and punters were kept hanging on the line for ages before they could give an answer.

It emerged last night that the winners had already been selected before the competition was ended, meaning that many of those who had entered had absolutely no chance of winning.

A PBC spokesman said "These competitions were only a bit of fun. The simplicity of the questions would be an indication that you had very little chance of winning. I don't think that anyone would have been stupid enough to spend much money on these competitions. Only someone with the IQ of a bucket of stew would fall for something like this."

LOCAL RESIDENT TO "SAVE THE PLANET"

"Green" Cap'n Smith, renowned Eco-Pirate, last night announced his plans to combat Climate Change.

Fresh from his appearance at the "We're-All-Doomed Aid" concert by has-been accordian players, "Green" Cap'n Smith unveiled his new vessel The Rainbow Worrier.

"In this mighty ship, my crew and myself will sail the oceans and give our help wherever needed to protect the planet."

Ignoring the shouts of "nutter" from the direction of the Admiral Benbow, Cap'n Smith continued "Tomorrow we sail into a better future!"

"Green" Cap'n Smith said that he considered questions about his Carbon Footprint to be in bad taste as he only has one leg.

TIDDLES SPOTTED IN PORTSMOUTH

Chaos abounded in Portsmouth after Tiddles, the evil mutineering cat decided to visit Portsmouth aboard his former masters stolen ship, 'The Aaarghh 9000'. Tiddles had been at sea for a long time, and was keen to quote:

'Sink a few pints down at the Admiral Benbow before setting off for more mutineering action'

Tiddles was photographed in the middle of his 13th beer when photographed.

Tiddles was later spotted staggering back to his ship, looking for a late night curry, singing rowdy pub songs and stumbling badly.

Yarr! 'E be an evil beggar when 'e's 'ad a skinful, that Tiddles. Best ter keep roight outter 'is way.

Tiddles Rescued by "Green" Cap'n Smith

The formidable Eco Pirate was on hand when Tiddles the cat got so drunk, he fell into Portsmouth Harbour. Believing Tiddles to be a rare example of 'felix marinai gingerous' or 'The extremely rare 'Ginger Sea Cat', Cap'n Smith sent his Rainbow Worrier to Tiddles rescue.

A boat full of Smith's crew all wearing GreenSmith T-Shirts circled around the floundering Tiddles chanting "Save the Whale" ...which plainly enraged Tiddles and a bloody battle ensued. Tiddles was eventually hauled to safety with most of Smith's crew members hospitalised.

Resplendant in his recycled cardboard hat Cap'n Smith gave a rousing speach to the crowds, promising to save endandered animals the world over.

CAPTAIN SMITH IS A FRAUD CLAIMS REPORTER

This newspaper has received conclusive evidence that Cap'n Smith is a fraud and his 'Green' credentials are a sham.

An undercover reporter was able to get a job as crew on Cap'n Smith's ship as they prepared to sail and was able to confirm the following facts.

1) None of the crew washed for 5 days, the resultant smell killed every living bird in the sky up to a mile away.

2) The Cap'n was heard whispering to one of his crew members, "Once we are three days out of Port affix this engine to the stern"

3) The Chickens were technically free range as they could run around the bilge but it was so dirty even the rats had caught scurvy.

4) Capn Smith's hat was in fact recycled from a dead cat.

5) What was thought to be a solar heating system was in fact a sheet of tarpaulin over the bridge where a shell blew out a hole whilst under attack

The Guaarrrrddian has attempted to contact Cap'n Smith to discuss these allegations but were advised that he is pissed er unavailable for comment.

YArrrrr...

I bet he didn't even rescue Tiddles. He was probably involved in a 10 man shout with Tiddles n' 'is crew at the Admiral Benbow. Saucy Gert would have served 'em.

Oi also reckon it was Hackles the Rescue Dog who pulled both Capn. Smith and Tiddles from the briny.

Only Saucy Gert and Hackles will know the truth.

AARRRRR...Has ye noticed the resemblance tween Cap'n Smith and an Easter Island Statue though?

Tis a bad omen I tells ye! I'd rather sail wiv Cap'n Cronan!!!
