THE internet suffered a major slowdown yesterday because of a geeky row between nerds.
The rival brainiacs fell out after a Blade Runner quiz night and began firing internet things at each other.
Computer expert Roy Hobbs said: “Both sides have been stockpiling millions of internet things for months and unfortunately the rest of us are caught in the middle, which means our computers get damaged by geek bullets and nerd shrapnel.
“Anyway, I hope that explains it.”

The radical reform of political benefits is designed to stop vulnerable MPs putting vintage port and quasi-medieval home adornments before everyday family needs.

“And if I want to build an ornate Gothic folly in my back garden, that’s my business. Personally I see it as a priority.

Finch Hatton’s wife Donna said: “My concern is that without his little treats Denys could get weird in the bedroom.
“Normally he comes home too sauced for any fornication but there’s a German school uniform in the bottom of the cupboard that he used to make me wear.”
Voter Nikki Hollis said: It’s a good idea. Theres an MP down our road who doesnt get up until the House of Commons bar opens.
Then he comes home pissed at 3am and wakes the whole street up shouting about private members’ bills.
