April Fools?

Good prank indeed! Especially like the fake Lounge!

nice little april fool joke asa, wondered what was going on for a minute

why do some people complain about april fools gags, remember several years ago a big fuss about the big breakfast pretending the millennium dome was on fire and having to apologise

can some people not take a joke, particularly from a programme such as big breakfast which was hardly serious anyway

not spotted anymore jokes yet, tried to find one on the bbc web site

I think the key is whether the joke is funny or not.

Glad that's it's been taken in the spirit it was intended. There's only so much "funny stuff" you can do on a website!

The Metropol 24/7 page actually includes topic titles from The Lounge in March 2002. Hope you see some familiar names and discussions!

It's a shame we can't actually read the discussions though.

There is! There's something fishy going on in Sweden ...

No, I'm pretty sure that's for real. It's gone from the homepage now.
