Well to be fair, he could have been left "scared for (his) life" as well as "scarred for life"

They've never had a proof reader in my 60 or so years of laughing at them.
Surely their motto is "if we can **** it up we will"

The job's yours!

If it makes you feel better, on the interview with Bruno on the OS, he is full of praise for Pascal Gross and some bloke called 'Glenn Murry'

****ing auto-correct. Gotta be an American invention

I briefly flirted with the idea of making a website which was basically a copy of the Argus but with the articles rewritten so they're, y'know, good.

Whoever is in charge of it must read NSC!
It's been corrected (the picture)

The website also states that a Nurse was scared for life by a man with a knife.!

On Saturday they had an article about HMV re-opening and did the same thing - all the related pictures were upside down. It was like that for about 5 hours.

It's clearly a Halloween headline

Gave up reading the Argus some years ago when the Argus gave up on employing people who had a basic understanding of grammar, could spell, and could actually be arsed to check their copy.

Having employed so many lazy, ignorant "journalists", the paper no longer deserves to exist.

I think HMV were very pleased as they had some special deals on Hanging Around by the Stranglers


I'll get my coat

Clowns the lot of them

Well, as for unintentional parady, 'Setyres' used to regularly advertise in the Anus, and their most favoured eyegrab was:

'Tyres Slashed'

I shit you not

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Th best thing about the Anus, for many years, was the graffiti on the 'new' building in Robert Street that said

Dick Damage Reads the Argus

RIP Dick

In fairness they were a joke in the early 60's winning spoof awards their typos.

Today's classic;
"The West Ham who continued to posted offensive tweets caused a backlash prompting Sussex Police Albion liaison officer PC Darren Balkham, to reply: “Jay, I would quit whilst you are losing. Be assured I have your full details by now and would recommend we continue the chat off line.”"
