"McDonalds to open a Vegetarian chain of restaurants"

Gobsmacked if I'm honest. I know commercialism and all but will there be a market for it? Are there enough Veggies in the world to make it work and surely McDonalds aren't the right people to bring it to the masses?

Why not, they sell food to the masses already. Didn't think there was much meat in the stuff anyway.

Rolling out low cost low overhead mush to the masses with a serious backing, marketing and promotional set-up should be easy.

and Alpkit...

...had me scratching my head a bit until the juxtaposition of Alpkit and £2m struck home.

What next, Howie's selling out to Timberland?

Daren't even look at the Register today. Usually so many it's tricky finding which stories are genuine.

I'd laugh but I've also heard stories about Spanish and building power stations...apparently they don't have much experience of that ....

I completely got my work colleagues!
There's a very unpopular bloke in the office, I sent round a fake calendar entry from a director to him for "Management handover".
One of them phoned me: "This can't happen!"

I can't work out if that 650B bottom bracket is April fools or not. Is it more obvious than it looks?

Planetx did a good one, how to change 50mm road rims to 100mm ones by spinning them in the frame and blowing a hairdryer on them, vid on the website I think...
