Your astrological week ahead, with Psychic Bob

Leo (23 JUL-22 AUG)
Bravery can take many forms standing up for your beliefs, facing your greatest fear, putting your life on the line for a friend. But in your case its definitely that haircut.

Virgo (23 AUG-22 SEP)
Once in a while you have a great idea and this week it requires an army uniform, a bulldozer and George Galloways address.

Libra (23 SEP-23 OCT)
Very few people scroll all the way down to the bottom of the Daily Mail website so youre surprised to find it contains a large disclaimer saying: Obviously everything above is pure horseshit.

Sport minister unveils hierarchy of heroism

THE government has produced an official chart ranking sportspeople according to their level of heroism, to help fans perplexed by this years Euros, Olympics and Paralympics.

The move follows confusion among viewers who have spent three weeks believing Mo Farah was the greatest hero of the 21^st century, only to be confronted by the amazingly inspirational qualities of Paralympian athletes.

Minister for Sport Hugh Robinson said: Our new easy-to-read chart will show everyone exactly which role models to be most disappointed by when they’re caught snorting cocaine by a Sunday newspaper.

Obviously top of the league are Paralympians, who are more heroic than a thousand Winston Churchills and make Jessica Ennis and her ilk look like endorsement-hungry glory whores.

“Whether they’re competing, buying washing up liquid from Londis or simply eating their tea, everything the Paralympians do is an incredible triumph of the will.

Next are the Olympians, who taught us all what true heroism was this summer – and apparently it’s excelling at an obscure physical discipline while not being paid much.

Below that we have people in sports like rugby, tennis or golf, who its true sometimes do earn a bit but can occasionally inspire us with their selfless dedication provided their events take place in Britain and are shown on the telly.

And finally, bottom of the list are the collected rapists, racists, and tweeters of Premier League football, who are most frequently seen outside burning homes throwing fistfuls of £20s onto the flames and laughing at the screams of those trapped inside.

England players will be granted biannual hate amnesties for World Cups and European Championships, following which they will resume their positions as the worst people ever to have lived.

When asked where soldiers serving in Afghanistan ranked on the chart, the minister pointed vaguely near the top, coughed, excused himself and fired a special advisor.
