Not a headline, but an amusing typo in a report I received yesterday prior to a school Admission Appeal next week - it spoke of a "population bugle" moving through secondary schools.
I wonder what it was playing - Reveille or The Last Post, perhaps?
The Wordle for the other day was BULGE, and it was obvious that several of the people who post their grids on my FB timeline had BUGLE as their penultimate guess.

Carpe scrotum. From the (paywalled) online edition of the Townsville Bulletin just now: Townsville District Court: Woman walks free after biting boyfriend’s balls.
Both English and mathematics have suffered at the hands of West Coast Today: A hydro scheme proposed for Loch Awe has been reduced by more than three times its original size.
I think it means it is now minus twice its original size - some challenging engineering there.
Well, that's a reassuring short-term forecast, at least, although one would think that those who can see it on the horizon would come to the same conclusion.
But they didn't, and that's the purpose of the news release: those watching it saw what appeared to be steam or ash venting from (what remains of) the top. It was actually volcanic ash left from the 1980 explosion that was picked up by a strong East wind and blown a few km into the sky.
Not a weird headline, but I notice that, according to our online calendar, our church hall has been booked for "onion pealing". That should sound interesting, not very resonant though!
(To explain, said onions are being prepared for pickling and bottling, for sale at our Christmas Fair).
Designer Found On Boat's Potential Cause Of Death Revealed
Ummmmmmmm, yeah.
I think I know what that is trying to say, but it looks as though someone took a handful of words and just threw them down on the page without taking aim.

I suspect bells would resonate better. I don't recall hearing of a peal rung on onions....

...our church hall has been booked for "onion pealing" ...
I read that as "online pealing" - is that what bell-ringers did whenever we were in lockdown?
It was, actually, yes. There's something called, I think, Ringing Room, that lets you ring handbells (or simulate doing so, not sure) with people who are in Forn Parts.

Not just handbells, but tower bells too. In fact, one of our regular ringers is part of a very prolific online band who ring quarter peals two or three times a week, dedicated to events such as National Comic Book Day.

"The escaped killer crab walked between two storage buildings." took me a minute to realize a kill crab-walked between two buildings and that there isn't a homicidal crustacean roaming the streets.

Surely, there must be (please, pretty please) a 1950's horror movie with a Monster Killer Crab creating mayhem in a big city? If not, why not? And sequels. 'Revenge of the killer crab', 'Return of the ...' etc. etc.
Mind you, my sister, who was a nurse, tells me that crabs can be pretty bad.

I will be chastened and sent back to the railway discussion again if I allow my feelings for the blessed Krokodil to be expressed here...
That's what I had in mind!
Crocodile turns red as passengers devoured...
They are indeed most splendid and puissant locomotives - it's the nickname, of course, which gives rise to silly tangents like the one I've started.
Sorry about that. Please carry on.

I did!
No, we don't need any more detail. That is more than enough.
Realmuto (foul ball off hand) avoids serious injury after negative X-rays
He avoided injury AFTER the x-rays???
(Oh, silly me - I forgot that sub-editors no longer exist).

Getting off the x-ray machine can be very risky, you know.
The swings were saying *F*** Off*.
The caption was *Mood Swings*.
I'll get me coat, whilst you lot get back to the headlines.

Our local *noos* would render it thus:
Volcano not erupting as ash blows into sky

There's a first time for everything ...

I can't think of a better way of putting it - but it conjures up images of demented builders scurrying around in a speeded-up film.

The things one learns on the Ship!
In fact, it was at least two firefighters watering down some baseball efforts, firey temper on display.
!!!!
Drat! What a day brightener that would have been.
