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...

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.

You cannot even begin to comprehend the crushing disappointment I suffered as a child, having finally been taken to The London Dungeons.
Those waxworks made Sinead look just about to jump up and start crooning.

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....
