The Women of Greenham Common The protest at Greenham Common influenced a whole generation of women. It taught us about collective action, imaginative non-violent ways of protesting and gave us the confidence to use our own unique voice.

I was always amazed at the ridiculous queue at Gregg's outside Manchester Piccadilly at 8:30am. It was like there were Wonka golden tickets inside the pastie wrappers.

He reminds me of Mike LaFontaine from A Mighty Wind, but a bit less jovial, and more homicidal.

Whilst visiting Fort William, I once overheard two blokes looking at properties in the Estate Agent window.

"Some nice hooses mind."
"Aye, I couldnae live here though. The nearest Gregg's is in Callander. That's like 2hrs away!"

If you don't want the city centre of Belfast to further resemble a half dead shopping mall comprised of soulless chains, you can spend a minute of your time filling this survey out in defence of Yallaa who have been doing an unreal job running their cafe in 2 Royal Avenue. We've enough Starbucks.

Reminds me of this sign for Stromeferry in Scotland. In 2012 rockfall cut off road and rail access to tthe village, so they brought in a temporary ferry, and so amended the sign by covering over the 'No' part.

And beat Scotland. With Wales showing signs of improvement, next year's tournament could be the best ever.

Seven US Regime Change Wars, Ranked by Disastrousness Trump has killed Iran's supreme leader and is demanding 'unconditional surrender.' But history tells us that US-led regime change efforts abroad almost never bring positive results.

If this is true, it would mean that Iran has the interests of Americans closer to it's heart, than that of America's Government. Which actually isn't difficult, seeing as Trump works for Israel & Russia.

"Every 'On The Beach' holiday in this summer comes with..

PERKS! PERKS! PERKS!"

Perks such as an emergency flight cos the country you're holidaying in, suddenly came under bombardment from a nearby loose cannon state, who are lashing out because Israel decided America should flatten them?
