Good news, Bad news

Well, mostly we're stealing this game from Radio 4's wonderful and probably deceased I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. The rules as stated on that bastion of unbiased excellence, Wikipedia, are 'One player gives a piece of good news, another gives a corresponding piece of bad news, then the next gives good news and so on. For example: "Good news, the Russians are putting a Briton into space", "Bad news, it's not Jeffrey Archer", "The good news is that it is Robert Maxwell", "Bad news, he's going to nobble the Sky satellite", "Good news, he'll succeed".'

We'll do that then, shall we? Only we'll use comments. Continue the game in comments.
