Let us not forget that the story comes from the Sun.
The paper that printed topless 16 year olds on page 3.
Also the paper that would run countdowns to a girls 16th birthday so that they could print their picture.
Bam Margera has walked out of rehab (again) to have s relaxing weekend in the sober, drug free environment of Las Vegas.
At this point Death picked up his scythe and said "COME BiNKY, WE'RE GOING TO CESARS PALACE."
Pol Pott's early attempts at ceramics were stunning. The press is so unforgiving of his minor foibles that they never show his 6 Piece Dinner Services.
I got a call today. Apparently HMRC have opened a criminal investigation against me for tax evasion.
I took the call whilst standing at the cash-point.
I was drawing out some cash to pay a workman "cash-in-hand" for some work I've had done.
These HMRC guys are bloody good!!
Russia now admits that revenue from gas and oil has dropped by 47%.
The slight recovery in the exchange rate today was the Russians buying $30 billion worth of rubles with foreign currency reserves.
The Ruble began the day at 114 to the pound. After 1 hour of trading it was 119 to the pound.
Its recovering slightly. But it's losing 1% a DAY at the moment.
At 2:05 keep your eyes on the top right of the screen. You can see the Russians launch something that comes crashing down into the city. I am guessing its an air defence missile???
There was absolutely no benefit from an allegiance with Hitler. He had an irrational hatred of Jews, was an exceptionally poor military leader and made terrible strategic errors.
China has a policy of "no first use" on nukes. This has been in place for some time and it's a commitment that even the UK will not make.
China would walk away from Russia and remove all support. They might even be inclined to take the opportunity to take back some disputed border areas.
The ruble is continuing its path to becoming worthless.
Its lost 4% of its value against most foreign currencies in just 1 week.
Its 40% down over a 12 month period.
I grew up in Wolverhampton in the 70s and 80s. The area lost a lot of heavy industry. There was an area near us that was wasteland with a large number of derelict factories and buildings. It was like a deadly adventure playground. We'd always be there riding bikes down asbestos hills or fighting the Germans around the factories.
In the 00s the area was redeveloped. It was quite costly to do because of the large amount of asbestos and other toxic materials in the area.
But there was one bit that they still haven't touched to this day. Apparently when the infectious disease hospital closed the NHS decided to bury medical waste there. This included radioactive waste from an xray machine destroyed by fire. Over time they lost the records showing exactly what was buried where.
Despite all of this, I don't have a single superpower.
I have never heard a Brummy use the following-
Donny - Hold my donny.
Os - I lost £50 on an os.
Yed- I was hit on the yed.
Scrammel - that scrammel barked all night.
