Your Saturday morning silliness. Found an old book in the loft, 1979’s ‘Another Batch of Boobs from Private Eye’. It’s some of the many misprints, typos, oddities and complete cock-ups that slipped past the editor and were printed in the 70’s. I’ve uploaded random ones for your amusement.

  1. I do feel that “qualifeid proof readers” was an intentional misspelling, though I could of course be wrnog.

  3. 6:20am and the dog has just woken me up to go for a shit.

    Very handy indeed as I didn’t know I needed a shit.

  4. Jokes aside, I am a woman and interested in working in the crumpet department. I assume my wages will be around £50K for 7.45-12.30 if we are accounting for inflation and the willpower required to not eat all the crumpets.

  5. Ah I loved Private Eye’s Book of Boobs. A couple of my favourites were a picture of a couple holding hands with a child with the caption “suddenly it’s yours with Green Shield Stamps” and another one about a child being taken to hospital to have a peanut vending machine removed.

  6. Thanks for these.

    I’m not sure if all of these were cock-ups (cocks-up). There’s been more than one sub who’s tried, and succeeded, to slide one though.

    Incidentally, is there a sub for this sort of thing? No pun intended.

  7. Great! Read them all as Chris Morris Brass Eye/Day Today.

  8. I feel like I’m being stupid, I get most of them but not the first one.

  9. Investment in increased Cake production sounds like a good thing.
