The use of "Biblical" in this way always reminds me of a radio broadcast where the "official" weatherman intoned that there was going to be "a snowstorm of Biblical proportions." They then cut back to the local DJ, who queried "Where in the Bible is there a snowstorm???"
From the informative Glasgow Herald again.... City's only dedicated lingerie store in liquidation. Possibly not hilariously funny or boggling of the mind, but I did wonder about the 'dedicated lingerie'. The imagination was unable to process that phrase.
Iranian dissident found dead in B.C. accused murder suspects of trying to poison him
A rather sobering headline, but after multiple reads I had no idea of what was supposed to be a noun and what was supposed to be a verb, and had to just read the article. The meaning is that at some point before his death he had accused the suspects of trying to poison him…
Today's 'Mail on Sunday': 'Fergie plot to clone the Queen's corgis for reality TV'.
This has it all!
That's a good one! Takes you back to the good old days of the National Enquirer coming up with a catchy headline and then making up a story to go with it.
BBC: "Porridge recalled over mouse contamination fears". This immediately set me off on the wrong track, as I thought we were recalling the old Ronnie Barker TV comedy!
Incidentally, I owe my grandchildren to "Porridge" - my son met his future wife when they were both working on a touring stage production of said show.

I'm afraid my devious mind wants to know in what way the porridge contaminated the mouse (or mice).
"Silkier than French Knickers" says the headline in the Glasgow Herald, which then goes on to add, "...this cheese has just been named the best in Scotland". Purely a matter of personal taste, of course, but that's not any part of my own cheese selection process.

Well it always works for me.
(it is a terrible analogy. I don't want anything cheesy compared to underwear.)

So, what was first? The exploding cars? Nope. It's the erupting flames, due to a gas leak...

I expect she needs the money.

That takes a bit of doing, I'd have thought.

I hope the man gave himself a good talking-to, and will repent, and ask himself (and then others) for forgiveness.

Any sub would have made a saucy French allusion to a cheese called "Ooh La La"
