Sneakiest Loverat

We all know that tabloids love a loverat, and this week we've unearthed the sneakiest of them all.

One minute this lucky lothario is spotted canoodling with Marion in the Sun. Then, just twenty pence later, the very same stallion is snapped 'getting passionate' with Abby in the Star.

Alex? Matt? Whoever you are, you've beaten Ashley Cole to the punch and claimed first prize.

Most thoughtful redesign of Monopoly

Goes to the one and only...

Richard

with this charming update of a family classic...

Here's one of the cheaper properties.

Waddingtons have confirmed that the remake will be in the shops in time for Christmas.

Reader John Kerr, of Coatbridge begins his tale simply enough:

But get ready for the switcheroo...

We can confirm that if we found a tenner in our Action Trousers we'd probably explode.

Most pertinent question

In the absence of a new cancer scare, the Daily Mail asks:

And offers the following key piece of advice:

Biggest bunch of flowers

We can exclusively reveal that a man has ordered the biggest ever bunch of roses to help with a 'tricky explanation' when his wife gets home.

The bouquet contains over two hundred roses and a card saying simply 'I love you', in shaky handwriting.

Interflora's head of communications commented: "Two thousand wouldn't have been enough'.

By the way

Is Peter Hill the most endearingly angry man in print? We certainly think so.

This week: Peter visits a prison

Sounds like you've worked your magic on the prison guards Mr Hill.
