April Fools gags that WORKED
- Thread starter Easy 10
- Start date
The star did this one:
Take That have splashed out £75,000 to get Robbie Williams to join them on their comeback tour – in a fountain.
Fans will see rocker Robbie singing and dancing with the rest of the group.
But he won’t be there in person. Instead, his image will be projected on to a giant water curtain cascading behind the four remaining members.
Mega-rich Robbie, 32, has snubbed appeals by the rest to join in this summer’s Take That reunion tour.
He’s still bitter over the split from Gary Barlow, 35, Howard Donald, 37, Jason Orange, 35, and Mark Owen, 34, back in 1995. The lads carried on without Robbie for a year before quitting.
But they are now planning to pay homage to their old pal by having a "virtual Robbie" with them on stage.
They’ve commissioned the huge water screen from a special effects firm in Lancaster called Water Sculptures. Director Alastair Elliot said: "It will be spectacular. It’s the nearest you will get to Robbie being there in person."
In the past the firm has produced amazing water features for the Queen’s Silver Jubilee and for Manchester’s Commonwealth Games.
Take That have been forced to switch gigs on June 24 and 25 to the Milton Keynes Bowl from jinxed Wembley Stadium.
I believed it all day and thought it was well exciting! It wasn't til i got to the pub in the evening, and told my friends, who realised it was an april fools straight away

BBC Radio Shropshire claimed Steve Bull (ex Wolves and England) had signed for Telford United and they did a phone interview with "him" on the coach to their away game - amazing how many supportes phoned in with "could do a job" comments
Imagine Peter Ward signing for Crawley ..... same kinda story.

Google had a hoax on their front page yesterday about their new dating service Google Romance. One of my housemates fell for it despite the fact she has a fiancee. Dodgy!
I'll always remember the rage I felt when the Wide Awake Club on Saturday morning had me one 1st April. They suggested that to get a taster of Sky TV all you needed to do was open an umbrella by the window and run the TV remote control up and down the stalk. I'd always dreamed of Sky TV so spent all morning working myself up into a tantrum when I couldn't get it to work until my parents walked in and asked me what on earth I was doing. I explained to them and they just laughed. "But it worked on the telly" I protested, so sure that TV would never lie to me.
What a mug

I cannot believe that I fell for this one by SCR yesterday!
Twice, Andrew Hawes said that Brighton scored! It was very realistic.

My favourite was a few years ago that I heard on the radio - it was to do with metricating the clocks so that there would only be 10 hours in a day; 100 minutes in an hour and 100 seconds in a minute.
I retold it to some friends at school, who were all worried about how they were going to afford new watches!
