Exclusive: Massive Black Hole Already Exists... in Manchester

Scientists have now discovered the source of a massive black hole under Manchester which is threatening to tear the world apart BEFORE Wednesday's switch-on of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN on the Swiss/French border.

'Anti-matter' which converts to 'doesn't matter'

“It's the Press Club,” said Dr Hans. “We've discovered that this is in reality a 'giant particle accelerator' which by smashing one drunkard into another after 1am, causes shifts within the proto-magnetic field, thus creating a series of micro-waves which merge to form a huge black hole in people's memory. It's tragic, that large numbers of otherwise innocent alcoholics have disappeared into one of these for days following a visit to the Press Club.”

“There are several tell-tale signs about the true nature of the Press Club,” our good doctor continued. “The cans of warm Red Stripe are clearly 'quark gluon plasma' and the damp patches in the carpet are actually 'anti-matter', created when the Red Stripe has been spilt.

“If drunk, however, the Red Stripe converts into 'doesn't matter' which leads people to forget to tell their loved ones at home where they are. This can lead to 'fall-out'.”

When first created by the Romans in 79AD, and later during it's last refurbishment shortly before the Norman Conquest, it was hoped that the Press Club would reveal secrets about what happened at the creation of the Universe and at the Big Bang. Disappointed physicists have said that the only trace they've had was the 'white noise' created by the 'karaoke'.
