The Metro’s double entendre Navy headline raised a few eyebrows and a lot of funny reactions – 15 favourites
The Metro’s headline game is strong and entertaining. Here are a few we’ve all enjoyed.
On the recommissioning of Mrs Brown’s Boys.
After Captain Tom’s daughter lost the fight over her illegal spa building.
A weather warning.
In fact, the double entendre of that last one has been a bit of a recent trend at the Metro, where they’ve added to that collection with this naval news.
They knew exactly what they were were doing and we’re fully here for it. So were these people.

Surely just a quick shaft polishing job and it's a happy ending, right?

Who's the red propulsion drive that's currently preventing an exercise?
Shaft!

Of course, there could be a ‘Boy who cried wolf’ element.
one of these days the Metro is going to have to report on something really serious like nuclear war and we'll all be too busy trying to find the innuendo to get to the fallout shelters https://t.co/3jJkQfYLTG
