Twins! Leaping! PA capture some textbook jumping work from no fewer than three perfectly gender neutral sets of twins. Well done to all involved. (courtesy of The Telegraph)

Ever wondered what you can find behind The Times paywall? It’s a boy who’s got his a-level results! That’s what makes it special. (Great expression, by the way.)

This was the Press Association’s first offering this morning. Good line, results held aloft - but lacks jumping. (Via The Telegraph’s liveblog, which currently has six pictures featuring 21 students, but no boys yet.)
Update: No, wait, this one’s from 2004. As you were. Think of it as providing historical context.

First crack out of the box, BBC Cornwall manage to tick all the boxes except leaping. Maybe this is an example of the effect the economic downturn is having on exploitative photography?

The Guardian is the first to get in on the act, via the cunning means of mocking private girls school Badminton in Bristol, which goes to the lengths of sending out pre-jumped pictures of its “beyootiful girls”. Nice try, Guardian, but don’t think you can get away with showing pretty A-Level girl jumping pictures under the pretext of criticising them. That’s our job, dammit.
