  1. Just wondered whether anyone knows of any websites that make
    up fake newspaper headlines.

    It's my Mum's birthday at the end of the month, and it's a
    Significant One
    (i.e. wholly divisable by 10). We thought we'd do a mock-up
    of "This Is your Life" for her - inc. doctored photos,
    etc. I was hoping that there's a website somewhere
    that you can put a person's name into & it
    automatically generates a newspaper headline/article
    that you can print off. Anyone know of such a thing?

    Any suggestions would be gratefully received, lords &
    ladies - thanks.

    (Apologies for the off-topicness - didn't know where
    to ask...)

    I've never used it, so I can't actually recommend it, if you
    see what I mean.

    Cheers, helen s

    The reason being that you've never reached a significant
    birthday, barring your 21st of course.

    Has anyone ever told you that you are thoroughly decent
    chap, Graeme?

    Thank you. I have been called many, many things, but I must
    admit that label is one of the rarer ones :-)

    The graphic designers in my group used to do a mocked up
    front page for whenever anyone in the team left for another
    job. It usually depicted the publication the editor or
    designer worked on with suitable masthead typos (ie,
    'Corrections' instead of 'Connections', scurrilous front
    page story and headline as well as doctored photos of them.

    Then they made the entire team redundant, so it looks like I
    won't be getting one.
