Pasta pun

The cost of spaghetti has doubled in a year as prices rise at the fastest rate since 1988. Noooo - I love pasta!

So does the Daily Mirror, with this pun:

PASTA JOKE

My pun idea:

SPAGHETTI BOLOG-RAISE

or maybe

FARCEFALLE

Welcome punlovers...

...To an e-celebration of headline puns, which we witness every day in the British press. I often witness some truly incredible punning, and felt it was about time we had a place where we could come together and marvel at this undervalued artform.

I have always loved a good pun, and over the years have built up a strong reputation / annoying habit of dropping them into everyday conversations. Some are funny, others most definitely are not. Indeed, you could even say that some of my worst ones are 'punishable offences'. Ha. But the effort and passion (and loose screw) are there at least.

As often as I can on this website I will highlight a particular story with a punderful headline, and then come up with my own alternative pun. The aim of this site is to make you groan with joy and encourage pun-related debate. You could even come up with some of your own puns for the day's news, or share your favourite ever headline.

All feedback welcome - now let's just have some pun!
