Not quite a headline, but I'm not sure where else to share it... There's a heading in our latest presbytery docket from someone with a "Request for a temporary marriage licence".
How Justin Welby 'fell under Harry and Meghan's spell': As Archbishop of Canterbury resigns over 'ignoring' prolific sex abuser's crimes, how his friendship with the Sussexes raised questions about his judgement
You can't keep a sharp-elbowed American down ...
Anyone who isn's sufficiently mind-blown by the headline can read the full pile of BS here.
It is amazing how a cleric being friends with troubled royals is an indication of questionable integrity, and yet an MP supporting a blindingly incompetent and deranged presidential candidate is perfectly good judgement.

No I am not opening the article.
Or, for that matter, a Messiah mixing with tax collectors, sinners and all sorts of riff-raff rather than 'the naice people'.

As Woody Guthrie sang:
This song was written in New York City
Of rich man, preacher, and slave
If Jesus was to preach what He preached in Galilee,
They would lay poor Jesus in His grave.
Not weird but ridiculous, from BBC website: "'London-style' buses promised nationwide with £1bn boost". Double-deckers whizzing down country lanes every ten minutes? - hardly.

The general manager of Ribble (a former UK bus operator of some size) was once asked why the company ran 72-seat double-deckers (Leyland Atlanteans) on a certain mainly rural route, often with only a handful of passengers aboard. The GM pointed out that it cost the same to run the double-decker as it would to run a single-decker (this was just before one-person-operation became widespread). but that it would cost more to field a relief single-decker and crew at busy times.
I think the point is not so much the type of buses but that you can't run a turn-up-and-go 10-minute interval service in the deep rural Shires.
That is true, of course. Why, even Our Village has merely an hourly service, and we are in a densely-populated suburban area on the edge of a busy conurbation. We often have a double-decker, though.
From the Welsh online journal "Nation Cymru": "M&S Wales Christmas jumper is back… and flying off the shelves". They'll need to tie them down or put heavy weights on them, I think - can't have jumpers flying around the store, it's an H&S nightmare!
Happened day before Thanksgiving. Total distance driven: 160 miles, two and a half hours at freeway speeds. Most congested day to drive over the pass this holiday.
According to the Irish Times yesterday, 'Three babies committed speeding offences, Garda system shows'. The newspaper report seems to be perfectly accurate. The Garda data entry practices, however, seem to be in need of some improvement.

Well worth a visit anyway - the views are almost as good as from Pen-y-fan, certainly to the North, and you can stand on the diving board:
Fan-y-big
If you know where you are looking you can see Lord Hereford's Knob from it as well.
I saw that and thought, "Great spoof headline!"
It's real - all over the news headlines everywhere!

It's not so much the headline itself that's weird - it's the mindset of the staff responsible for writing and publishing such utter tripe.

Thames Water is in a parlous financial state, yet back in the summer it assured Ofwat (the regulator) that it had "strong liquidity".

Yeah, right. Oxfordshire is about as far from the sea as it's possible to get in the UK.

Oh, Republicans are usually very interested in getting as many bucks as they can.
