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.

Free run reminds me of the carrier bag we acquired in Hong Kong airport, emblazoned with 'Free Duty'. Designed by someone with enough English to know the adjective precedes the noun, but not enough to know not always.

This puzzled me on many occasions on my way in and out of HK airport, where “Free Duty” is the branded name of every duty-free store. My hunch was that they knew it was “wrong” but decided to go with it anyway. Ms. Marsupial who grew up in HK is not sure about that, but admits to having always read it unconsciously as “Duty Free”.
Does it apply to "duty free"? Meaning there is duty collected, but not for YOU, deary. If it means the same as free duty, then arrange your coffee tables upside down, or stack them one on the other. It might catch on.

It was mooted, as a means of unbuggering the customs bollocks between Britain and Northern Ireland caused by Brexit, but anyone with half a brain can see it's a Very Silly Idea.

From the "i": "Sir David Attenborough stabbed by ‘dangerous’ cactus".
Clearly we need to crack down on plants with such criminal leanings. These incidents wouldn't happen if there were more policemen patrolling the streets. Mind you, I blame the parent cacti for not bringing up their children properly: when I were a lad plants knew how to keep their spines to themselves. (etc.)
These are cacti. Perhaps the appropriate punishment should be: "Water them to within an inch of their lives, that'll teach them to mess with a National Treasure!"

i spent so much time trying to click past the crap to find out if there was a human actor carrying the cactus around. No, just a headline writer with a turn for the over-dramatic.

Because there's something to be said for plurilingualism. Unde-neigh-ably.
Here's an Oldie cartoon for the above!

Who'd have thunk!
I suspect that not even the person who wrote that has any better idea of its meaning than you or I. But it sounded good to the author.
It doesn't really help with your coffee tables though!
Of course it should be duty-free, all one word.

Hmm - walking on water again? (To be fair, the article mentions ferries - but the headline doesn't!)
You walk from Wales to Scotland, and then across the Bridge to Ireland (dodging the road traffic, and the indeterminate-gauge trains, en route).
Simples, yes?

What was the owl doing with the rake, one must ask.
Beats raking the forest to avoid fires.
Indeed.
We do sometimes get grass fires in England, but nothing like the awful stuff you have over the Pond...

(I do hope Sir D wasn't seriously hurt, though. How dangerous was the thing?).

I suppose it depends on how fast God runs.
If you keel over with a heart attack then it certainly can.
"Can", not "will"
I read this as "popular poo".
I wonder what that says about you?
Man charged with murdering wife he buried
And here I thought all along that she was dead before he buried her. What do I know?
