sidcow Posted January 12, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2022 So there has been a 4 day long armed siege in Coventry involving an armed father keeping his son as hostage, yet it doesn't seem to have made any national headlines at all. Anyone else think this is weird. I know there is a lot going on at the moment but nevertheless this is surely a massive story? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted January 22, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2022 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-60084347 Robot vacuum cleaner escapes from Cambridge Travelodge Quote A robot vacuum cleaner made a break for freedom after giving staff the slip at a Travelodge hotel. The automated cleaner failed to stop at the front door of the hotel in Orchard Park in Cambridge on Thursday, and was still on the loose the following day. Quote Staff said it just kept going and "could be anywhere" while well-wishers on social media hoped the vacuum enjoyed its travels, as "it has no natural predators" in the wild. It was found under a hedge on Friday. Quote While some readers joked about the robot's adventures, one feared for its safety in the great outdoors, pointing out that "nature abhors a vacuum". 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While on patrol, police pulled over the man near Tesco Extra, in Bulwell, Nottingham, on Wednesday evening. Officers said the driver - born in 1938 - told them he had been driving with no licence or insurance since he was 12 and had never been stopped by police https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-60159649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I came home on a Friday night, as drunk as drunk could be, I saw a man outside my door, where my old horse should be. Well I called me wife and I said to her, will you kindly tell to me, who is this man outside my door, where my old horse should be. You're drunk you're drunk, you silly old fellow, and still you cannot see. Now take him down to the post office and get rid of his body for me.

a m ole Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 This British diver who’s been killed by a shark in Sydney - obviously sad news, but I couldn’t stop laughing at the BBC news quote “Australian authorities are still looking for the shark.” Lock him up and throw away the key. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
