Long-time VB readers will be aware that we’re big fans of the satirical new website, NewsBiscuit (headed by author and broadcaster, John O’Farrell).
So we were really chuffed to hear that one of our readers, who we introduced to the site through VB, managed to get one of his stories on the front page of NewsBiscuit yesterday.
Fernandomando (aka. Mike Stradling – pictured here in his more youthful days) might also be a name familiar to VB readers. If we were to add the words, Come Dine with Me , perhaps that might trigger the old memory cells?
Yes, the very same man who so taken by the performance of the lovely Charlotte Barton-Hoare back at the beginning of the year on the popular TV programme, Come Dine with Me, has put down his bassoon and been beavering away, letting his creative writing juices overflow.
He tells us, that after several attempts, he’s managed to create an article judged worthy by the Newbiscuit editor, to take pride of place on the front page of the site.
Hurrah!
We’ll let you enjoy the article in full rather than telling you what it’s about, although it does feature a certain hospital on the Island.
Read: Staff at hospital realise their life is mirrored by patient’s colonoscopy by Fernandomando.
