A rare hit for me, I never thought Wogan would have been ahead of him though.

Can't get any of the pictures to open but I saw Orange Wullie when I was in Dundee on Wednesday, he looked as though he had just stepped out of the Globe bar.

England should lose 1 point for every fan that gets arrested.

I don't think it has been. I tried posting a picture from a number of different host sites but none would work. I will try again later.

Sterling woman arrested for apparent religious animal sacrifices. A Sterling woman was arrested May 5 for allegedly sacrificing chickens multiple times a week for religious purposes, according to a search warrant filed by Loudoun County Animal Services. On April 25, Animal Control responded to a complaint that chickens were being inhumanely killed at a home in the 100 block of Sherwood Court in Sterling, according to the warrant. The Animal Services officer on the scene reported seeing what appeared to be blood splatter on the walls of the accused’s living room, religious idols, a club with a metal shield covered in dried blood and feathers, a large human bone, animal heads and parts skewered on sticks in a vase, among other evidence.

A tourist in Vienna is going through a graveyard and all of a sudden he hears some music. No one is around, so he starts searching for the source. He finally locates the origin and finds it is coming from a grave with a headstone that reads: Ludwig van Beethoven, 1770-1827. Then he realizes that the music is the Ninth Symphony and it is being played backward ! Puzzled, he leaves the graveyard and persuades a friend to return with him. By the time they arrive back at the grave, the music has changed. This time it is the Seventh Symphony, but like the previous piece, it is being played backward. Curious, the men agree to consult a music scholar. When they return with the expert, the Fifth Symphony is playing, again backward. The expert notices that the symphonies are being played in the reverse order in which they were composed, the 9th, then the 7th, then the 5th. By the next day the word has spread and a throng has gathered around the grave. They are all listening to the Second Symphony being played backward. Just then the graveyard's caretaker ambles up to the group. Someone in the crowd asks him if he has an explanation for the music. "Don't you get it?" the caretaker says incredulously. . . . . ."He's decomposing!"

Two sisters from the northwestern B.C. community of Kitimat have both had close encounters with moose on the loose. National Post Like a scene out of a film that I can't quite put my finger on at the moment.

A little girl, about 4 years old, is out playing in her garden, and is fascinated by the house that's being built in the plot next door. The builders see her watching them, and she's so cute they ask if she'd like to help them. Eagerly she grabs her little toy wheelbarrow and squeezes through a gap in the fence. The builders are really fond of her, and make her feel really important, pushing a couple of bricks around in her little wheelbarrow, helping to sort nails and screws, that sort of thing. At tea break, they invite her into the port-a-cabin and share their sandwiches with her. This goes on all week, and she's really enjoying being a builder. On Friday they get their pay packets, and they each fish out a bit of small change, put it into a brown envelope, and give her "wages" to her. Proudly, she shows her mum. "Look mummy, I've been working all week and I've earned some wages !" "That's lovely", says her mum, "Will you be working again next week ?" "Yes", says the little girl. "Well, as long as those useless cunts at Jewsons pull their fingers out of their arses and deliver the fucking bricks on time".
