However, the roundabout was removed so as to speed up traffic, leaving otherwise inexplicably curved-fronted buildings around an ordinary-looking junction.</p> <p>Speeding up London traffic is, of course, a joke for a start.</p> <p>Also for the benefit of our overseas contributors, I'll mention that a roundabout in the context of a road junction is what's called in some countries a 'rotary', as distinct from something you play on, although chavs don't seem to mind. </p> Arthur on "New NEAT-O commencing 14th July" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=63958#post-186351 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 17:16:19 +0000 Arthur 186351@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>So long as there's a phrase containing the topic .... </p> Lens Cap on "New NEAT-O commencing 14th July" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=63958#post-186350 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 17:12:41 +0000 Lens Cap 186350@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>If I remember correctly, it isn't just a phrase. You should also try to sub NiB and FP length pieces that either revolve around the theme, or merely contain the phrase. It's good to see how people can take the idea and expand it past a one-liner or pun </p> Arthur on "New NEAT-O commencing 14th July" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=63958#post-186349 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 17:08:21 +0000 Arthur 186349@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p><strong>The Neat-O Topic is "Cambridge Circus"</strong></p> <p>For the benefit of newcomers, anyone with a short attention span and anyone else who may be baffled by this strange ritual, I shall repeat the rules.</p> <p><em>RULES</p> <p>Using your skill and judgement, think of an amusing phrase containing the Neat-O Topic.</p> <p>Submit the phrase to the Writers' Room.</p> <p>Paste a link to your entry in this thread.</p> <p>The winner gets to set and judge the next Neat-O Competition.</p> <p>The closing date for entry to this Competition is teatime on Sunday 21st July, 2013.</p> <p>Winners will be notified by post.</p> <p>You may submit as many entries as you wish provided each entry is accompanied by your NewsBiscuit ID.</p> <p>Only one prize may be won per entrant.</p> <p>In the event of a tie, the winning entry will be the first of the tying entries received.</p> <p>No alternative prizes are offered and prizes cannot be exchanged for cash.</p> <p>Neither NewsBiscuit nor the Judge can be held responsible for entries lost, delayed or damaged.</p> <p>Proof of posting is not proof of delivery.</p> <p>The Judge, anyone who sleeps with him during the next seven days and their families are not eligible for prizes.</p> <p>All entries become the property of NewsBiscuit.</p> <p>The Judge's decision will be final and no correspondence will be entered into.</p> <p>NewsBiscuit is not responsible for the Judge's sense of humour.</p> <p>Entry into the Neat-O Competition is deemed acceptance of these rules.</em> </p>
