Wayne Rooney was last night undergoing medical tests to ascertain the seriousness of an injury that is threatening to put an end to civilisation as we know it.

The Premier League’s leading scorer and leading choice for footballer of the year had to be helped from the pitch with suspected ankle ligament damage after Manchester United’s 2-1 defeat in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich last night, seemingly unaware of the sense of impending doom the injury had created.

Britain’s biggest intelligence agency, GCHQ has taken the unusual step of denying all claims about everything, whilst suspiciously asking what you heard and who told you.

The government has announced that it will offer a full and detailed explanation of its plans to switch over all analogue radio stations to digital by speaking to the British public in the same manner as it would to a serially retarded three year-old.

"Sh*t! Have you seen what the terrorists are going to do at London 2012?" asks scaremongering expert

A cyber security expert has tried to induce a state of general fear and panic across the nation by highlighting all the things the terrorists can, and in all probability will deploy at the London Olympics in 2012.

Professor Peter Sommer of the London School of Economics claimed that terrorists could use a “blended attack” to simultaneously hit physical targets and cyber systems during the London Olympic Games, and achieved his objective of completely putting the sh*ts up everybody in the process.

An Icelandic volcano, which had lay dormant for 200 years, has erupted near Eyjafjallajoekull, ripping a 1km-long fissure in a field of ice and spraying countless consonants and vowels up into the air in the process.

The volcano, situated in Southern Iceland, 75 miles east of Reykjavik, began to erupt just after midnight on Sunday, spitting a molten stream of largely incompatible letters a hundred metres high.

“This Bill will ensure that the basic human right of living a life free from illness or disease will be widened to all US citizens, and not just those with enough cash to perpetually line the pockets of the insurance companies,” said a Democrat spokesperson.

“It also brings The Greatest Country in the World firmly into the 21st Century and will move our citizens away from the kind of archaic situation that any right-thinking nation would have abolished more than 60 years ago.”
