Again from Wales Online: Man taken to hospital after crashing into tree. Perhaps if he hadn't worn his facemask over his eyes? And was the tree injured?
And from the same source: Music equipment seized following a planned rave. Actually, it was seized before the rave but after the police had picked up info about it.
I could understand how music fans would follow a planned rave. But the instruments themselves? Sounds like the Sorcerer's Apprentice but with guitars and drums rather than broomsticks and water buckets.
This is for reals, and it's funny. Make sure to read the second comment, which is from the person at the office who told the story. (Posting as "Swarm Tendon".)
Row of small shops: the one I'm in is The Christian Bookshop. Books in the window. Walls lined floor to ceiling with books. Next door is a poodle parlour. Woman comes in - can she bring Fido in for a trim? You want next door. Friday at two be ok? Er, we're a bookshop. Fine, I'll bring him then. Exit.
I look in on Fox News now and then; they come up with some out-of-the-ordinary journalism. Florida woman allegedly stabs man with machete in own bedroom in attempt to steal his wife.
"She attacked the man in his asleep" Fox News
Whose machete was it? Whose bedroom was it?
...in his asleep..... new name for pajama? a body part?
Today's BBC1 lunchtime news closed with an item about the theft of Christmas trees (worth about £3000) from a site in Wimbledon. Police are asking for information.
The newsreader then wondered if Special Branch would be called in [groan].

I remember years ago a story about a bicameral bill (ultimately stalled) on legalizing the demon weed. The headline was: "Legalizing Marijuana: A Joint Resolution."
I haven't read the article (pay wall) but (a) there should be no punctuation between "These" and "Underwear"--and certainly not a period; (b) crusaders converting people has had sort of a bad reputation since....well, the Crusades; and (c) regardless, my suspicion is that the Crusaders would have tried to convert people regardless of what underwear they were wearing.
The front page of the BBC website has an article at the top of the page with the headline ‘UK-EU talks continue as Navy boats put on standby’ - the accompanying photo is of a P&O ferry 😆
(I won’t link as the page changes and the follow through article doesn’t have the same photo)

How does a boat stand anywhere, by or otherwise?
You're joking right? One of the senses of "stand" from Merriam-Webster's unabridged is:
to hold a course at sea : sail in a specified direction
But these are also potentially applicable to a boat or ship:
to take up or maintain a specified position or posture
to hold one's ground : maintain one's position
to occupy a place or location
to remain stationary or inactive
There is also "stand off" which among other things means:
Interesting. I'd have thought that, in a nautical context, "stand off" would imply remaining stationary at a distance from something (a jetty, another ship, a beach), waiting to be called closer.

Similar. But unlike musical glasses, that rely on containers filled with varying amounts of water to produce different pitches, glass bowls (also known as the glass harmonica) rely on different size bowls that, when rubbed, produce different pitches. Mozart and several other composers through the ages have written for the glass harmonica.
I could imagine "Shine Jesus Shine" on the glass harmonica, but I think it would be better suited to the likes of "Mother, At Thy Feet Is Kneeling".

You there! In the van! Stop or I'll phone!
Of course, it's ellipsis: Van driver stopped (by Police for) using mobile phone (while driving). And now that's possibly tautology!

Which is a bit mean - after all, not one but two of them were just pardoned by the POTUS!

TRUMP SAYS HELL LEAVE IF ELECTORS SEAT BIDEN
To hell with the apostrophe. I'd rather punctuate it as follows:
TRUMP SAYS: "HELL! LEAVE IF ELECTORS SEAT BIDEN."
Better advice his supporters will never receive.

That caught my attention yesterday -- and was totally not what I was expecting!
China tests blunders linked to secret deals
I should think they'd want to expose them, not test them.
Here's one from CNN:
Couldn't he just have used more mainstream medicial means? Oh, wait...!

If you wanted to buy a blunder in a hurry, just hop on the blunderbuss.
I'll get my coat.

Yes, I know they're talking about football, but it's fun to imagine what the music will be like at the next papal conclave.
