The summer silly season for news is now well and truly upon us so what better way to end the week than with another collection of media funnies courtesy of HoldtheFrontPage readers.

To kick-off this week, this headline in a flight of nibs in the Nuneaton News is certainly one way to get the readers interested.

Finally, from the website of the St Albans and Harpenden Review, one of those tales that just makes you want to keep coming back for more.
