A story that's basically "A duck was around" on what appears to be the front page of a newspaper. I feel like you would die of boredom even accidentally passing over whatever town that is in an airplane

In my defense, my job is boring as hell.

There's a UK site called Dull News in Local Newspapers, which performs exactly as advertised, reaping a steady harvest of overturned wheelie bins and people who win meat raffles. But occasionally, it blindsides its tedium-loving readership with revelations like this:

Aesop Poprock posted:A story that's basically "A duck was around" on what appears to be the front page of a newspaper. I feel like you would die of boredom even accidentally passing over whatever town that is in an airplane I lived and worked in Jersey (the original one), which is an island in the Channel Islands between England and France for about six months. At 6.30pm on BBC1 each region in the UK has it's own local news show. Each region has a population of about 5-7million so there's always some half-decent news about; but the Channel Islands has a population of about 50,000. In Jersey people who have vegetable plots put a couple of shelves up at the end of their driveway and put their spare produce on them with an honesty box and a simple price list - "each item 50p" or whatever. People pull up their car and grab some carrots or whatever and leave a couple of pounds. Their main story one night was about someone stealing one guys vegetables. Not the money, not trashing the shelves, just stealing a few cauliflowers. This was followed by a lengthy debate about whether the BBC Weather map should have a new rain/cloud/sun icon over the Channel Islands to "encourage tourism" (with several people against because it'll be "a bit close to France") followed by a quick round up of who had been barred from the local pubs and wasn't to be served alcohol until next Tuesday.

In case, like me, you have never heard the phrase they are trying to mock, it's "you couldn't organize a piss-up in a brewery". The dictionary tell us that a piss-up is "a social occasion where everyone drinks a lot of alcohol". So there you go, non-Brits!

I don't think "hoity-toity" is accurate, but I would have loved to see that. Why is "carrying" circled? That's the correct way to break the word from line to line, isn't it?

According to my ex who lived in Arizona as a kid, and she couldn't tell this story without laughing about it, someone at the neighborhood pool saw a black kid getting in and screamed "there's a boo in the pool!" in abject terror. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=boo&defid=3245796 I guess it's a shortening of 'jig-a-boo' or related to the word 'spook' but it such old timey racism it's flipped around to being kind of funny and just an indictment of the person saying it.
