Norman Tebbit anger

Spotter: Jayne

Lap-dancing anger

Not-a-terrorist-at-all anger

Macclesfield Express: Man seething over 'terrorist' gaffe

How do we know this man isn't a terrorist? Where's the proof? This could all be a superb double-bluff and his name really is Al-Jazeera Terrorist. Got anything to say, Simon - or should we say 'Al'?

(Our legal advisers tell us that we have to make it clear this gentleman is NOT a terrorist. Neither does he like the luxury chocolate eclairs they sell in M&S)

Spotter: Derek the Dog

Phone mast anger

Macclesfield Express: Residents angry at new phone mast

Never in the history of Angry People in Local Newspapers have so many people queued up to be angry in local newspapers. The reason? Fifty-quid-a-throw tickets for Lapland New Forest, which turned out to be a pile of turds, gently steaming in a field just outside Bournemouth.

We look forward to this year's chancers trying the same con.
