Men in skirts, though it must be said they’re not the most flattering I’ve seen.
Freaky pilot meets American euphemism: “”It falls along the lines of a personal level of sharing that may not be appropriate for one of our employees to do while on the job,” he said earlier.”

Entertaining page of big questions including, “Why do obstetricians and gynaecologists leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to see it all anyway?”, “Why do TV reporters continually emphasise words by raising their eyebrows?” and “In languages that give objects a gender, who designates the gender of a new invention?”.

Nice tits.

The Essex King of Bling

“An archaeological excavation at Priory Crescent, Prittlewell, Essex in autumn 2003 unearthed a 7th century grave that is perhaps the most spectacular discovery of its kind made during the past 50 years…”

Life moves at a different page in Leicestershire: “A fish tank, which had obviously been upended in the collision, lay empty in the footwell.
“Realising that people don’t usually transport a fish tank full of water unless there’s fish in it, road policing officer Sergeant Watling searched the car but to no avail.”

Good old Germaine on I’m a non-entity, get me out of here:
“Firstly, they’re not in a bloody jungle. This has annoyed me since it first started. It’s like calling all foreigners ‘brown people’ cos you can’t be bothered to get it right. As she says, “the wretched celebrities weren’t in the jungle, or even in the tropics. The event is staged in a pocket of second-growth sub-tropical rainforest, which is no more like old-growth sub-tropical rainforest than the Groucho club is like the Parthenon.”
I don’t know if she realises that the land has actually been cleared of all wildlife or not, which makes all their posturing so much more annoying.
“The assumption behind all the trials in IACGMOOH is that revulsion is the right attitude to hold towards invertebrates and reptiles. Pouring wild creatures into one’s pants is first of all an offence against the creatures. If an Englishman wants to prove himself in such a stupid way, he might as well do it with English creatures. Why should Australian creatures be selected for such abuse?”

When life imitates the Onion: “Jon Blake Cusack, from Holland, Michigan, told local newspapers the US practice of adding “Junior” or “II” after a boy’s name was too common.
So, when his son was born last week, he decided on the name Jon Blake Cusack 2.0, as if he were a software upgrade.” BBC
And when it doesn’t: “People seem to like our collective yelling and even paid to hear us. The Finnish national anthem is especially popular” (BBC)
