France's rail network disrupted by 'massive attack' ahead of Olympics opening ceremony - BBC News
I guess they didn't pay the PROTECTION money.
What do you mean, you don't get it? Obscure 90's band-related jokes are all the rage these days...

Re: In todays (non-political) news
Why does she get special treatment? Waxworks museums are notorious for their awful wax likenesses - you might think they do it on purpose, if they really wanted to do it properly I imagine most amateur plastic print people could do a decent enough job of it.gremlin wrote: Fri Jul 26, 2024 3:59 pm Wax museum removes Sinead O'Connor figure

Re: In todays (non-political) news
MP irked as Cromwell treated in cavalier fashion...A new Conservative MP got a mixed response when he raised concern about a traffic cone being placed on a statue of one of Britain's most famous political figures.

If you have to ask why a traffic cone on the head of a serious statue is funny, you're wasting your time: you'll never get it....
