Her. Yer woman. You know; the one with too many books, a mad cat, and an online footprint that wanders back to the usenet days. Northern Irish.

Tel Aviv football derby cancelled as 'violent riots' see nine arrested Police said dozens of smoke grenades and pyrotechnic devices were thrown, injuring 12 civilians and three police officers.

I am outraged that apparently jews are not welcome at football matches in Tel Aviv (am I doing this right?)

This made me laugh because I wrote the speech sheโ€™s referring to. I inserted the line about Chicken Tikka Masala after I noticed a supermarket survey listing it as by far the most popular purchase among consumers. Gill is wrong. The British people have voted with their stomachs.

Panel 3: The group quickly disperses, leaving the gross creepy agent by himself

Panel 4: The agent touches his ear and says โ€œarrest their momsโ€

For those who didn't obsessively read about Fortean phenomena in childhood: it is believed that many of the better-attested UFO reports were ball lightning. If you look at this video you can see why.

Some are querying whether Andrew can renounce a dukedom without an Act of Parliament.

But you can parse a duchy and heโ€™s left outside.

When Jenrick says that things were 'less than well-mannered' in the 80s at football games, he means fans threw bananas at the Black players.

New Work by Gary Larson | TheFarSide.com Get an exclusive look at brand new cartoons and artwork from cartoonist Gary Larson, creator of the iconic comic strip The Far Sideยฎ.

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

The snail farmer of London, his mafia friends, and a ยฃ20m vendetta against the taxman Terry Ball runs elaborate mollusc-based tax avoidance schemes that are costing London councils millions of pounds. Yet when London Centric tracks him down, an even stranger story emerges.

I think this is the weirdest story I've ever reported. www.londoncentric.media/p/terry-ball...

It's a good start and may be absolutely life changing.

ULEZ means about 1,500 sq kilometres - the whole of Greater London - is covered by road emissions control.

Stop and think about that for a second. It's incredible. Its impact on public health has been huge.

Studies said it would take 200 YEARS to reach this emission level. Khan did it in five.

Alan Garner is 91 today. A brilliant and unique author. His books have inspired and enchanted me since I read The Weirdstone of Brisingamen at the age of 11. Here is my treasured copy of Red Shift. The Le Guin quote on the cover is wholly accurate.

One of the things that Starmer doesn't seem to understand is that Maccabi hooligans have got the art of provoking a fight then spinning it as antisemitic down to a fine art. For example:

This is absurd. If supporters of an English football club went to another country, committed violent hate crimes and public order offences, and the police in a subsequent country decided they couldn't be doing with it, the Prime Minister and the Leader Of The Opposition would not be caping for them.

A.
Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic.
When I
14
set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did
15
was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible
16
program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named

Professor
I. I did that through a mutual friend
18
of ours, a guy named
, who is one of the preeminent
underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a
20
submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the
21
Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was
22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."
