Predict The Paper 2012

Recommended Posts

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...

This will be the third time the words cruise ship has appeared in the national headlines. Can I have my 10 points for this headline?

There must be a matching word describing what happened with the cruise ship.

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.

I did't need to scrabble round too far for evidence for my #1 pick, and I'll admit defeat where #5 is concerned, so that could be crossed off too.
