Gunjaman5000 30 Posted March 25, 2012 May I add a headline to be seen the 22nd December 2012; "WELL WE'RE ALL STILL HERE THEN" or suchlike. The number of what I'd thought were sensible people worried about the 'great' 'event' that isn't going to happen... Grrr... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Estuarian Float 93 Posted May 31, 2012 To Paul Bearer... I cannot give you points for the knifeman headline unfortunately because "knife" and "knifeman" do not match. If you can find a headline for the same story that qualifies, you can get the number bonus because you correctly predicted the number of people stabbed. For your scorcher line, Im not sure whether to give you points or not because the source looks kind of like a blog. I'll look closer at West London Today and decide. And lastly, Im sorry but I must revoke your points for the freezing conditions line. As I said here... And here we have the cruise ship rule... I think we can all agree, for the enjoyability of the game to implement a rule to prevent technichality points. A headline must match at least two words. And those two words cannot describe each other as in an adjective on a noun or a first name on a last name. "Cruise ship" alone will not fly. Nor would "Meryl Streep" itself.
