How was Turkey, LB? Bootiful?

According to the headline it's 'Jane' and in the article it says 'Jade'. A grate editoring triumf.

Reawaken your childhood fear of clowns.

You could take up parkour like this chap. Obviously he isn't/wasn't any good.

Back on track with a still image of spaghettification...

Click and read the telescopic text.

Penblwydd hapus HCW! 'chi'n hen gwynt rwan.

(or should that be "Ewes?")

That's an interesting way to do it, much fairer I think. Another take would be medals won/Olympic team size. It always make feel sorry for the smaller nations during the opening ceremony when you see a lone flag bearer and his mate walking along behind some huge team.

I vote Zimbabwe.

Geek tape measure (although 6" is probably overkill).

People yacking on their mobiles where they shouldn't. On public transport, in cinemas, in restaurants, etc. Basically anywhere within five metres of me Anyway, this gadget would help them shut up like they're supposed to. If it worked on iPods/walkmen it'd be a shoo-in for must-have product-of-the-year.

I don't begrudge anyone their medals. Well done to all I say. This nationalistic total medal haul thing has always struck me as being stupid anyway. Who cares if some nation picked up ten golds for tiddlywinks, synchronised swimming and shotgunning clay UFOs? Those don't hold a candle to a gold in the 100m, 200m, 110m hurdles, etc. as far as I'm concerned. I applaud the athletes (note: this does not necessarily include tiddlywinkers or equivalent), swimmers, etc that have achieved the best they can do, regardless of medal status. I believe for something to be considered a valid Olympic event it has to be specifically measurable, that is; first past the post, thrown further, jumping higher, etc. Anything subjective (that gets a difficulty rating or artistic merit for example) should be booted.

According to the media he's still in the international terminal... So does this qualify him as terminally ill? Maybe I should get my coat.

Sorry to go off topic here, but the Four 'n' Twenty Pies Magic Salad Plate ad has to be the best I've seen in a while. I want one...

You do realise that this money was yours in the first place before they incorrectly overcharged you? In order to work out that they'd charged you too much, it cost them time and money (yours) and it has cost them more to actually give it back to you. So the money that you earned they took away, they charged you to do it, then they charge you more to pay it back at a much later date. And I doubt very much that you would get any interest that would have accredited on this money in the mean time. If a private individual or, say, a bank did this to you, then there would likely be criminal proceedings involved. You are quite correct when you say the Inland Revenue lot are much maligned and misunderstood; some people don't think of them as thieving criminals.

I must be smarter'n I thunk I wuz. I got four wrong and one of them was about a number on a supposedly famous brand of beer I've never even heard of.

Hoax by the look of it.
