I'm always interested when m11 pops up on the movement detected feed, he's a dodgy bastard and was a previous obsession for his habit of taking the dogs for a walk* by opening the door and letting them shit on everyone else's property. Got him nobbled by the council 5 times for dog shitting but he still does it.

Was just reading up about Terry Waite's cousin 

Growing up as a kid and hearing the news on the radio, I thought the name of the place was Wartern-Bayroot. Sounded like somewhere out on the Fens.

To my surprise, they must have twinned with Wartern-Bosnia a few years later.

 

The Beeb loves "war-torn" as a prefix.

I wonder if he'd been out on the sherry last night.

Covered walkway between buildings at a college I attended a few years back; there was a lovely imprint of a fairly plump pigeon in the dirt on the outside of the window, they were obviously economising on window cleaning as it stayed there the full 3 months of the course.

As a child, I always thought the earlier part of the verse was 'dance stands, whoever you may be...' 

That was the go-to hymn in our primary school hall for most of my time there. I assume the music teacher particularly liked that one or something.
