Mother's sanity 'questionable' after she is caught watching Children's TV!

Sanity of mother 'questionable' after she was caught watching 'Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom' WITHOUT her children. 

A mother of two from Chelsea is currently 'undergoing tests' after she was caught 'with her feet up' in the middle of the day, watching the Children's TV programme while her children were at preschool.

The woman who can not be named for legal reasons 'insists' there is nothing wrong with her, 'I don't normally watch it. But Nanny Plum makes me laugh. I'm sure she fancies the Wise Old Elf!'

Meanwhile, the husband and father of two, who wishes to keep his anonymity, spoke exclusively to The Big Pickle News: 'her day off is supposed to be for doing the shopping- not relaxing!' This statement received scathing comments on Mumsnet who believe anyone's 'sanity' would 'be'put to the test' with such a 'male pig'.

A psychiatrist from Oxford university states that this is 'extremely common'. He reported that 'mums often watch TV programmes with their children and then get locked in by the luminous pink.' 

Another expert added, 'I've seen women with an IQ of a 160 laugh raucously during a Peppa Pig episode. The effects of all that colour is quite extraordinary.'

Dangerous grammar snobs are on the loose!

There's been a number of grammar snob 'sightings' at various locations in the UK.

The CEO of Facebook gave a clear warning last night. 'On a Facebook timeline near you, a grammar snob is lurking. Waiting.  He/She could be hiding behind a YouTube video or Huffington Post ad. NOONE is safe, they get you when you're most vulnerable.'

According to the BBC Watchdog, a grammar snob, 'may use a mug with grammar teachings on the side, they almost NEVER use abbreviations like OMG and are quite often boring and strict teachers.'

However, the Royal Society Of Good English Grammar 'objects' to the criminalisation of good grammar usage, 'why shouldn't we use the Queen's English correctly? We should not assume that everyone wants to embrace the world of LOL and BFF!'

A representative of the Facebook media team informed the public that they would 'endeavour' to erase all false grammar news as it was 'concerned' that some grammar snobs were giving incorrect information about how to use an apostrophe.

THE BIG SHOCKER- students do 'bugger all' at University.

A report compiled by the inspection company GOTCHA suggests that university students drink and waste their money on booze, clothes and a nose job- and use their parents money to do it!

The organisation STUDENT HANGOVER compiled a questionnaire which asked students how they wasted (spent) their money and the results were 'extremely worrying'.  One student spoke exclusively to The Big Pickle News, 'it's right. I do spend my money on ridiculously expensive clothes and makeup so that I can get the pout just right for Instagram. It takes a lot of time to get the colour and lighting set up. Lectures and Seminars just get in the way!'

The results were 'devastating' according to Boris who claims that they 'can't be true'.  Boris was kind enough to stop and speak with us, 'these results can't be correct. I'M the biggest time waster, I can't have these youngsters taking over my mantel. The British public have put a lot of faith in me and I certainly can't let them down!'

The Foreign Secretary has asked  STUDENT HANGOVER to review their results.

Meanwhile, more students will be asked to fill out the questionnaire in order to get a more accurate result, although many students have refused to do so as they are 'far too busy' taking several hundred selfies.

Cakes and happiness banned from the workplace.

Today, the Health Minister has stated that all cakes and sugary foods will be 'banned' from offices where any type of 'business activity' is taking place.

This new initiative has sent 'shock waves' across the big companies and financial markets in London. One FTSE expert stated, 'not having the office cakes will have serious consequences- low morale can devastate productivity.'

One expert in 'Pure Happiness' spoke exclusively to The Big Pickle News, 'it's really quite concerning. Cakes provide a satisfying sensation on the tongue and in the stomach. And don't underestimate the endorphins that are released when one unclasps the plastic box containing chocolate flapjacks.' 

The initiative comes after the Dentistry Watch Dog produced a programme on how all the cakes are 'making us wobble' and making our breath 'stink'. The narrator of the programme stated, 'cakes increase our fat and rot our teeth. We've got to stop eating cakes before we're too fat to fit through the office door.'

However, Delia Smith and Mary Berry have joined forces in their campaign to stop the Health Minister and plan to deliver homemade cakes to every office in the UK in their bid to 'make clear' how valuable to the economy a good cake can be.

7 ways to beat those January blues!

1) Avoid the scales. Don't go on them until February. If you must step on them, fast for 24 hours first. Dehydration can be so slimming!

2) Look back at those holiday snaps- when you were tanned and svelte-like. Have one at the top of your bedroom mirror to motivate you into going to the gym. Try not to remember that it was months of Slimming World shakes that got you into that shape.

3) Write a list of New Year resolutions but include basic goals like 'turn up to work',  'eat an apple', 'drive past the gym'.  Lower your expectations and you can't go wrong!

4) If you want to feel some summer warmth, close your eyes and stick your head in the airing cupboard. It costs far less than an air ticket.

5) It's January and so it's no longer acceptable to eat the fattiest foods on the planet.  But who cares what people think?  Always have a chocolate stash, you never know when you might need to use it against the children.

6) Buy clothes which are one size too big.  After one month of Slimming World you'll feel like you've lost two stone- you might even become the Slimming World poster boy!

7) Work might really suck but, don't forget, there's always someone in the office who's eaten more mince pies than you. Figure out who they are and always remember them when you're feeling low- their muffin-top will always be bigger than yours!

Government offers 'ridiculous' advice on how to keep warm.

The government has issued a public leaflet offering 'helpful' advice on how to keep warm as temperatures dip a bit below freezing this week. 

A spokesmen for Downing Street made a statement, 'we are expecting moderately average temperatures but even though these temperatures are expected, we must prepare for the worse!'

However, the Labour leader has expressed his 'contempt' towards the leaflet and spoke exclusively to The Big Pickle News, 'it's ridiculous. The leaflet states that you must keep moving (at all times) in order to keep warm. And yet the front of the leaflet instructs you to stop, stop what you're doing, then it says that you must sit down and read the leaflet carefully. It's contradictory- and it WILL confuse people!'

The leaflet offers the following advice, 

'Drink lots of hot tea.  Cups and cups of tea. Make sure you drink it the moment it's served- a burnt tongue is well worth keeping warm!

Eat lots of sweets.  Always keep a bag of sweets on you. Love Handles and Moobs may not be pretty, but they'll keep you warm.

Wear your coat indoors AND outdoors. Forget what those old ladies used to say. New research into Winter coats suggests that 'you will feel the benefit!'
