Hurricane Bawbag Hits Hard

2011-12-08T19:34:00.002Z

Hurricane Bawbag was the colloquial name given to a storm passing over areas of Scotland during the week beginning 5 December 2011.
On 8 December, winds reached up to 165 mph (265 km/h) which resulted in closure of many roads, bridges, schools and businesses.
The colloquial name "Hurricane Bawbag", was coined following discussion online, using the vulgar Scottish vernacular "bawbag", meaning scrotum.
Rumours that the north of England called the event "Hurricane John Wayne's Hairy Saddlebags" are unfounded.

BREKKIN: Africa to send troops, food parcels to UK as riots spread

2011-08-11T23:14:00.002Z

ETHIOPIA: The African Union today adopted a unilateral resolution to deploy army troops and care packages to England as looting and violence spread from London to other major cities.

Spokesperson Charity Khumalo said “We can no longer stand by while these savages tear themselves apart.”

The AU, meeting today in an emergency session to discuss the ongoing rioting in the UK, has declared that they will do “everything in their power to help bring civilisation to England”.

“It’s just so sad, you know?” said Khumalo, speaking from the organisation’s HQ in Addis Ababa. “Sitting here and watching them on TV while their society implodes. We cannot in good conscience remain idle and let it happen.”

The AU has announced a range of initiatives that Africans can get involved with to help alleviate the misery of the English.

“For instance, we have launched an ‘Adopt an English child’ programme,” Khumalo explained, showing journalists brochures featuring the faces of English kids. “If you donate a mere R50 a month, you can see to it that little Johnny from Peckham receives a basic education, a pack of condoms and a pair of Nikes.”

Khumalo also said that the AU would be parachuting in dentists along with army troops as part of a ‘Feel better about yourselves, Engerland!’ initiative.

“You can understand why they’re turning on each other,” the spokesperson told journalists. “You look in the mirror and you see teeth untouched by modern dentistry. It’s heartbreaking enough to make anyone put a brick through a Starbucks.”

The organisation also plans to air-drop care packages on major UK cities.
“Vegetables, mainly,” Khumalo confirmed. “We’re sending them vegetables and toothpaste.”
