In todays light hearted look at the (non-political) news

They should definitely have a random member of the public there competing for comparative purposes.

Almost 27% of adult in Britain are insane:

Just about everybody can be taught how to shoot 'competently'. The forces get people from all walks of life and teach them, using the 4 marksmanship principles that the Boers taught the British army of the day, to shoot reasonably well.

Competition shooting is a whole different ball game with any weapon.

Having watched the Aussie breakdancing lady, I reckon my killer dad dancing moves will get a podium place as bare minimum.

This is my Outlaws.

They discovered a 'bomb' at a location they were redeveloping.

They dropped it in the boot of the Kia and drove it to their farm and buried it.

Three years later they decided to dig it up and call the bomb squad!

They're mad as fucking hatters.

Vaguely local to me. If Fisher wasn't dead I'd suspect Climie.

A Tiny Cannabis Fan’s Journey to Recovery

In New Brunswick, Canada, a legal cannabis field became an unlikely rehab center for a tiny mouse. Colin Sullivan, the field’s owner, caught the mouse red-handed (or red-pawed) stealing leaves for two days straight.

The mouse’s love for cannabis left it “stoned” and passed out on a stack of leaves.
Sullivan took the mouse in, providing a safe space for it to “detox” from its cannabis binge. After six days, the mouse was back to its normal self and released back into the wild.



The mouse’s journey went viral on Facebook, with many praising Sullivan’s kindness and the mouse’s determination to overcome its addiction. The posts garnered thousands of shares and comments, with many appreciating the lighthearted and humorous approach to a serious topic.

The story also highlights the legal status of cannabis in New Brunswick, where adults can consume it for recreational purposes. However, the government emphasizes public health education and awareness, ensuring responsible use.

In the end, the “stoner mouse” became an unlikely symbol of recovery and determination, reminding us that even the smallest creatures can overcome addiction with the right support.

I think the defendant's surname could equally well be applied to the Judge...

They always park their wee van on the big wide part between McQuaids and the Pomeroy Road, they never go near the bit near Carland where the actual accidents happen.

For those with a scientific bent (ooerr missus) it's time for the Ig Nobels. Another good crop inc. fish that breathe through their bums, pigeons as part of missile guidance systems etc.

I liked the debunking of the supposed zones where people live longest. Turns out they're also unhealthy zones where the records are rubbish and people like to swindle pensions.

For those than don't look on the current affairs section, Potter has left the building.

He posted on the Forum section asking to be deleted, posted on the Trump thread praising Bwana and Screwdriver and then he was gone and all his words of wisdom along with him (unless they're been quoted).
