There's a wingerie (is that the right word for a chicken wing emporium?) in Newfoundland (I'm not sure if it extends any further west) called Wingin' It, where (as is often the case) they categorise the heat level on the menu in numbers of chilli symbols. The hottest, which has 10, requires diners to sign a waiver ...
I'm not a huge fan of wings*, but we used to go occasionally, and there were a few flavours I quite liked (lemon and black pepper springs to mind).
* I don't generally think that the taste justifies the mess one gets into.
I've never been in a Nando's; in fact, I assumed it was a pizza and pasta joint. Now that I've discovered it's a chicken-and-burgers joint (which has apparently run out of chicken), I shan't be bothering; that sort of food does nothing for me.
Actually Nando's is not the worst. Good if you want something quick, tasty and not too much before or after a concert say. (There's one just opposite the Usher Hall).
It's South African, and the Cape Malay cookbook I've just acquired mentions it's sauces as an ingredient.
I have often wondered if Nando's was started by Portuguese ex-pats who started life in Mozambique but moved to SA after the former's independence? Peri-peri sauce is very much a Mozambican "thing".
This is more "click bait" than headline, but my news feed has a blurb from "Buzz Video" that reads
German Shepherd Yanks Sister To Ground
I confess I am tempted to click on it to see whether it involves the German Shepherd's sister, or whether the dog just has a problem with nuns.
Come to think of it, maybe I am assuming to much in thinking that it is about a dog. Maybe it was an actual shepherd in Germany with a sister...or a nun.
Not a headline, but from Air France's advertising on its environmental initiatives:
In Canada, various actions have been implemented such as supporting local reforestation projects, eliminating single-use plastic in lounges, and working on pilot recycling projects
I just can't make head or tail of this, from "Wales Online": The determined Welsh town fighting for its future where great new businesses neighbour abandoned ones reclaimed by nature.
From the "Eastern Daily Press"; "Hospital staff and patients to enjoy new bus shelter at hospital". Enjoy? Well, they "do different" in Norfolk ...
If you have eve nbeen in an exposed part of Norwich in February, you will know that a bus shelter can most definately be enjoyed.
Some years ago, TPTB put up *smoking shelters* in the grounds of our local hospital. An apocryphal tale relates how two elderly ladies were taken into A&E with hypothermia, having waited for a bus for several hours in one of the shelters...
From today's notice-sheet at a Baptist church in Birmingham (and flagged up by the Minister!): "Remembrance Sunday. We will remembered those killed and injured in conflicts during our morning service".
If you think "neighbouring" is bad, consider this from Jamie Oliver, describing his mushroom and gnocchi bake recipe (a "midweek hero") on Tesco's website:
... a gorgeous all-in-one bake, heroing ready-made gnocchi ...
I suppose they're thinking of the safety of their staff rather than their clients (is that the right word?), but it does look rather odd.
Well, it's clearly what it is from the clinic's own description of the policy, but naturally that wouldn't stop the Spectator from thinking it's far cleverer than it actually is.
Coyotes facing eviction from arena for unpaid bills.
It turns out that the Coyotes are supposed to be a sports team. On the other hand I did see an actual fox scurrying in front of our local community centre last night, so who knows.
This, from "Wales Online", is very sad but also grammatically inept: Cyclist dies in Bangor crash as van driver arrested. The arrest followed the crash, one presumes.

Perhaps a "wingerie" these days is a "gastronomic poultry experience"?

British gas pumps still dry, growing concerns pigs will be culled
I'm having a little trouble with the cause & effect on this one...
Erm, that’s possibly because October is in the autumn.
There is a link - they're both things that resulted from Brexit.
Funny how that works.
Up to 120,000 pigs in UK face culling due to lack of abattoir workers
I can see the point, but O! the irony!
(And, I suppose, the waste...).
Noooo!!!

While we contemplate, here's one from the Grauniad:
I'm afraid it seems to be about animal welfare, but I could well imagine it to be about maths. Or the ministers that are stunned. Or both.
I wonder what their pilots think of this?

Yet another example of the Decline Of The English Language, and the imminence of the Last Days.
According to the OED, 1586.
Anyone brave enough to do an MW Report?
Re: "neighbour" - I was thinking of it in the sense of "neighbouring businesses", i.e. ones that "neighbour" each other - are next to each other.
Heroing?!?!?
Very fortunately so, before many more words similar to heroing are presented to us
O quite.

As usual.
Christmas movie-making snowballs to set new record
I never knew snowballs were into movie-making. Roll 'Em!
It is apparently about something called "cricket".
It turns out that the Coyotes are supposed to be a sports team. On the other hand I did see an actual fox scurrying in front of our local community centre last night, so who knows.
