    And how did they find her?

    By keeping a close watch on her movements.

    I'll get me coat.

    Let's get Biblical.

    "My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me". (Job 30:27, AV).

    Was the crime reported on TiKTok?

    From you-know-where: "The ghost Burger King on a Welsh roundabout which was built but has never opened".

    I think drivers who go round it would be surprised to learn that! https://emmareed.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/carters-steam-fair-29.jpg

    From BBC Sport: "Pope moves into 80s as England build reply to India's 471".

    I thought that he was only 69.

    I think poping is the sort of job that ages one rather quickly...

    "Cancellations and hour-long delays as vehicle collides with railway bridge". No: after vehicle collides, surely.

    I don't need to tell you where that came from.

    Hmph! As I've always said, some railway bridges should have their driver's license taken away.

    Well, at least it didn't say "collision between vehicle and railway bridge".

    There was a similar one today (can't remember the source - possibly Metro or the Evening Standard?): Bandmates pay tribute as Babyshambles guitarist dies aged 46.

    At least the Indy managed "... pay tribute after guitarist dies ..."

    Perhaps they've been reading this thread, or perhaps they just have a more intelligent editorial team.

    Thankfully the inverted commas merely render 'Expolding' 'Exploding' Hairs among three back in Scots squad bizarre instead of terrifying.

    Strangely enough, they've now changed it to 'explosive'...
  • SandemaniacSandemaniac Shipmate
    That, like the tripo, may just have been me thinking of the perils of exploding hairs whilst sorting the quote out. Brazilian wax from hell, anyone?

    Ta for the correction, much appreciated.

    I had no idea what the quote was about, until I clicked on the link.

    A trio of rather odd surnames (what would be the collective noun for such things, do you think?).
    :lol:

    To Currie favour with punsters: it was to Tear out Hairs.
