As the bizarre news story thread had itself removed due to an infestation of politics thought I’d start a thread on light hearted news. Travel: How a £525 bet gave birth to your morning commute https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-68210255
Im sure its just my suspicious mind playing up again but strange how the two of them get acquitted for billions in fraud and die within a day of each other - one in extremely *ahem lonely circumstances "hit by a car out running".

Does seem very coincidental. I remember seeing Jonathan Bloomer on the floor and saying good morning in the lift when he ran the Pru and I worked for them in London. Weird to see his name and face in the news this morning.
More like the CIA sabotaged a yacht with a ridiculously tall mast. Naturally I wouldn't share this train of thought! I have seen waterspouts up close and whilst they look scary I've never heard of any actual problems due to them colliding with a vessel. Not that it means damage is not caused. In Mexico I saw a huge one that was literally 20m from a packed beach -everyone went still and quiet, but didn't move... Here's one off Playa del Carmen -reasonably far away!
A cancelation on the St Pauls cancelation waiting list! https://www.theguardian.com/comment...farewell-tour-britain-taxes-multimillionaires Its just possible that since the UK's favorite plumber has finally buggered off (or has he?) to Dubai, you might get their standby slot in the cathedral! For anyone that doesn't know him, he is a Remainer millionaire Plumber who now is a born again Faragist ala Reform "The Tories won't talk to me"- who has decided that being a dirty immigrant is the best thing for his future... Pictured here as a Joe 90 crossed with Rod Stewart lookalike that leaves impersonators green with envy!
I don’t understand why men (or women for that matter) get pumped full of Botox and dermal fillers, as they just makes their faces look swollen and shiny, like they’ve been stung by a bee. And that ludicrous Stringfellow-esque bog brush mullet isn’t doing him any favours either. Most threatened rightie tax protest flounces never happen, and a bit like lefties performatively claiming they’re leaving Twitter, it’s usually little more than petulant attention-seeking. But anyway. See ya Charlie. Off to UAE you go, you insufferable self-publicising tool.
Who knew a Russian Generals' preferred transport of choice would turn out to be the humble scoot? (that pic is hilarious btw) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c4gx6p347dgt
It fits though, because those things are, without exception, ridden by cunts. Tbf though, they explode all the time without any help from explosives, so it was probably just someone leaving the battery on charge overnight rather than a bomb.
Just over a mile a year, why are we so pathetic? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2dxn7rj27go Works on 'road from hell' to end after 23 years Tony Blair was just halfway through his time as prime minister and FA Cup finals were being played in Cardiff when one of the UK's most expensive and complex road upgrade projects this century began. But after 23 years, roadworks on the A465 Heads of the Valleys road in south Wales are finally going. The 28-mile (45km) £2bn upgrade to almost motorway standard was designed to bring prosperity to one of the UK's most deprived areas. But some of those living there have called it the "road from hell". Work to make the road that links Swansea to Monmouthshire a full dual carriageway began back in 2002. This was 12 years after Margaret Thatcher's Conservative UK government drew up an upgrade programme in 1990. Parts were already two lanes each way, but there was severe congestion and frequent serious road crashes on other parts of the route. Almost 35 years later after enormous overspends, major delays, devolution, a global pandemic, unsuitable ground for road building and hundreds of carriageway closures, the end is finally in sight.
