BRFR Cake Stop 'breaking news' miscellany

You're on form this morning Mr H.

 

[First Aspect]

They are allowed serial commas at fancy universities.

I think it is a sensible way to convey how different placement of "and" would be spoken.

I'm not disagreeing. Creative commas licence.

You're confusing Mr Trumpet with Rees-Mogg, who may be a brazen bell-end, but doesn't play a wind instrument.

For avoidance of doubt, I wasn't intending to suggest that Mr T is a brazen bell-end, though I am aware he owns several.

I buff them regularly. Bell-ends should be shiny.

I would guess it is on your left shoulder.

The come in pairs and Stevo has the other one.

Take your pick...seems quite a few people in here have them.

There's quite a big clue, even without the risible whinge.

As I just realised and edited. Obviously no-one will guess without that clue.

Top work there, the alteration is barely noticeable.

I guess you're unlucky too, Brian 😉

Marine LePen barred from running for public office for 5 years.
Messages of support for Le Pen from; Victor Orban, Geert Wilders, etc.

I wonder how long it will take for Vance or the orange rapist to stick their oars in:

Meanwhile, in other news, it's reported that an earthquake occurred in Cornwall last month. The headline should have read "faint earthquake, no-one hurt noticed."

(oblique reference to San Serriffe, if you're paying attention).

If only this was a 1st of April story, but has been lifted from Stephen Colbert.
A bill has been proposed by Texas state Senator Angela Paxton, wife of mired in controversy state Attorney General Ken Paxton, requiring photo ID to demonstrate the purchaser is 18 years or older, when purchasing a sex toy online. This in a state where, at least according to statute, possession of six or more devices for the stimulation of human genitals, is considered an obsenity. On the other hand, you can own as many guns as you want, even if you get your sexual pleasure from them.
The annual deaths from sexual stimulation is unrecorded in Texas, but I think it is likely to be less than the circa 4,500 arising from guns.
'Murica.

Meanwhile in Birmingham, there was an earthquake. It did £2m of improvement.
