A boy without a winkle? Lord be praised! 'Tis a miracle!
"It was a joyous occasion for Heather Mills and her 61-year-old superstar husband Sir Paul McCartney - the birth of their first baby.

And it was a happy event for the Daily Mirror, which had a world scoop on its hands - running a front page shouting: "It's a boy! Exclusive - Macca baby a month early!"

A happy event, that is, until 11.07am, when the Press Association solemnly announced the couple had become parents of a baby girl called Beatrice.

By then it was all too late for the Mirror, the Daily Record (which had broken the story for its sister title), the BBC, the Evening Standard and countless other outlets - including the distinguished Reuters and Associated Press - which had all followed up the Mirror's scoop. "

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
