Father arrested for child abuse after an octopus is removed from his 2-year old son's throat.

 

He needs Sir Creep as his attorney: "Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury; please remember, for every finger you point at my client you have 7 pointing back at you."

Deathray, I can't remember where we had the discussion of parents that aren't actually parents etc, but I had a similar yack with a boy at work about it.

 

He said today there was a bit on R2 about 20% of Belgians have one parent that isn't who they think. Take that to grandparents level, and you're getting to the sort of % I was on about.

 

Don't know if there's a corresponding article, but they must've got it from somewhere .

 

Bang on queue, say hellooooo to the Archbishop of Canterbury, daddy was Churchill's secretary

The DNA tests that the Archbishop used are a bit dodgy. Especially as he took hair from a brush he used, how can we be certain she didn't borrow the brush while she was having the fling?

Coon Rapids is just a few miles from where I live. "Coon" in this case is a reference to raccoons. I had similar thoughts when I first moved here.

 

Not only did the employees fall for this prank (which was repeated at a couple of other locations across the U.S.) but if you watch the video you see them going out through the doors to smash the windows from the outside.

If I remember correctly, there's a shop in Kent that sells brands that you don't usually find in other countries that have been imported from the U.S. which a lot of the same stuff.

 

Especially when it comes to chocolate. There's a lot of difference between the taste of Nestle, Cadbury's (UK) and Cadburys (made at the Hershey's factory), and just regular Hershey's.
Hershey's milk chocolate tastes more like dark chocolate.

So do the English, but yes you can buy breadcrumbs in the shops. It's a convenience item. Much in the same way as shredded cheese.

This way you don't have to dry out a loaf of bread, and crumble it up before you can use it.

Calling breadcrumbs a convenience item and following it with that sentence, well hell, I'll call BREAD a convenience item then. You don't have to get the flour and yeast together, the drudgery of making a loaf and popping in the oven whilst cleaning up the kitchen, letting it cool a bit and buttering the damned thing before you can use it....

BTW us Yanks are keen on bottled water, with little proof it isn't anything beyond what we get from our tap at home.

SC, you could go a step further and call sliced bread a convenience item too.

One of the most ridiculous convenience items I've seen has been pancake mix in which you still had to add milk and eggs to it.

So about 15 years ago, I was watching people buy the 400g of pancake mix for £2 in Sainsbury's and then go and buy their milk and eggs, yet right next to it on the shelves you could get a 10lb bag of plain flour for 99p. But for some reason people were drawn more to the mix rather than just buying a bag of flour.

On Netmums? You sure? Those are Mumsnet names.

 

True story, I once read a Mumsnet post on baby names that was so incredibly pretentious that I sent it in to Private Eye.

They printed it in Pseud's Corner and sent me a cheque for a tenner.
