I never knew that the British armed forces lost so many mice in combat.

Brilliant.

That collage has been all over twitter, but I can't ID the original source. Never mind ...
My favourite was on bottom-right: "It's terrible that a cameraman would impose himself on this man's grief."

I've seen it underwater; in swimming pools and much deeper (<25m) in open water. A bit of fun, although with the potential for matters to go awry very quickly.

Maybe this is related.. 🤔
Too much spray starch??

It's from ages ago, but it such a good one I had to go back round the block to take a picture..

It's up there with
"Shed broken into - nothing was stolen"
in terms of small town inconsequential 'news'.

A friend of mine was the editor back in the days when it had local staff. He has amusing stories.

I just stumbled across this lovely prose on Rightmove.
I think that they are either drunk or they’ve been using ChatGBT, as whilst it’s a perfectly nice property is only a 2 bedroom bungalow in SE London

.
“Nestled within a tranquil enclave, this enchanting 2-bedroom semi-detached bungalow stands as a testament to timeless beauty and meticulous care. From the moment you set foot through the gate, a sense of awe envelopes you, as the impeccable condition of this residence beckons you closer.

The bungalow, thoughtfully extended to capture the essence of a sunlit sanctuary, boasts an ethereal sitting/dining room that basks in the gentle caress of sunlight. With walls adorned in hues that mirror the warmth of a summer's embrace, this space is a canvas for moments of togetherness and laughter, where stories are woven over shared meals and stolen glances.

Step further, and you'll find a haven of rejuvenation - a shower room, a testament to both practicality and sophistication. A symphony of functionality and style, it's a retreat where each detail has been chosen with discerning care, invoking a sense of serenity with every visit.

Two resplendent double bedrooms stand as private sanctuaries, each a haven of rest and tranquility. Their design embraces both form and function, offering a seamless blend of comfort and aesthetics, ready to cradle dreams and create mornings filled with promise.

The heart of this home lies in the spacious lounge, a gateway that leads to the captivating sitting/dining room. As you step across the threshold, the seamless flow between these spaces becomes evident, a testament to the thoughtful design that allows conversations to drift effortlessly from room to room, creating an ever-present sense of connection.

As you venture outside, the boundaries between nature and design blur into a symphony of botanical wonder. The stunning mature garden invites you to explore its secrets, an orchestra of colors and scents that dance with the wind. A garage stands as a sentinel, offering both storage and utility, while ample parking for three vehicles welcomes loved ones and visitors alike.”

Wow. That's impressive! They've gone full bore on oversaturating all the pictures too.
