    Unfortunately they didn't post their review.

    "We turned up at the perfectly reasonable time of 3.41am, only to find the pub closed. This is an absolute disgrace, and the manager was nowhere to be seen despite our attempts to get his attention. In addition, the lampposts surrounding this pub are a serious health hazard and should be clearly marked."

    Was he detained under the mental health act for robbing the bank or having £1600 in his pocket and choosing to go to a Spoons?

    Surely the robber's name must have given people a clue?

    Now, in the unlikely event you were sitting in a pub and a someone walked in, chucked loadsa money in air and offered drinks all round, just how would you respond?

    For me it would be like this "He added that the cash had gone into "the grateful arms of those sitting in Wetherspoon's."

    Headline of the month

    Well, apart from anything involving Newcastle sacking a perfectly decent manager and appointing a far poorer one.

    Fascinated to read this morning that Voyager 1 is still transmitting data back, 33 years after it was launched. Now over 10 billion miles away, it is close to the very edge of the Solar System. Incredible, and it illustrates just how tiny our world is in the vast emptiness.

    Mind you, it’s not as mind-blowing as this bloke’s theory about Voyager 2.

    Surely nothing can be worse than this theory about the Voyager probe.

    A massive achievement that once again leads to the quote, they don't build them like they used to.

    Star Trek-wise, I thought the Borg were created by Gene Roddenberry as a parody of Wetherspoons, after he visited one
