Misread thread titles

[soapy]

Sometimes the thread titles are more interesting when you glance down the list and misread one or two, or possibly misinterpret them.

"PP longshot" - YAY, a new model from PP.

"Bail Recommendations for Two Middle Aged Blokes" - so what was it they did to need bail????

"Bail Recommendations for Two Middle Aged Blokes" - so what was it they did to need bail????

that's what I thought it said at first

Not really a misread title, but I find H&V is one area where an ambiguous thread causes the viewing figures to rocket.

This causes more of us to view it, creating a cycle of interest that's a bit of an anticlimax.

For example:

John Smith - an absolute...

And we have to open the thread to see what kind of absolute noun John Smith is.

You just made me properly laugh out loud! What an anti climax. ;-)

Surprised to find this thread is still going :grin:

I had one today: "Wedding Band Re-sizing" - I assumed they wanted to add a bass player or something.

EDIT: Also, whenever I see the "BrexitWatch" thread, I think the forum is planning a special edition commemorative watch for the big event.
