In other news
Rather than putting up new threads, some other stories that are pretty remarkable...
Firstly
Wealthy NFL players wanted for armed robbery
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-52675230
About $12,000 (£9,850) in cash and watches worth up to $25,000 were taken.
All three then made off in separate vehicles - a Mercedes Benz, a Lamborghini and a BMW.
If this story is correct, then what drove the to do that is utterly baffling...

Re: In other news
Also this bizarre tragedy took place near us in Holland
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/ ... etherlands
For 5 to die in the same session shows that even the most experienced can get things wrong. You could understand 1 or 2, but 5 instructors and lifeguards in one go. That is pretty shocking.

Re: In other news
Their attorneys say they were set up. Mouthpieces going out of their way to praise the lead detective suggests there is more to the story. Neither player had a history of anything worse than bad practice habits. Some of the informants are considered questionable characters. Bail terms fairly generous considering the severity of the charges. Will wait to see what happens next before drawing any conclusions.Bend it like Repka wrote: ↑Sat May 16, 2020 9:56 am

Re: In other news
In a world of endless misery, if ever there was a story this thread was made for, then say hello to this one.
"They had been hired to carry out a client's fantasy of being tied up in his underwear and stroked with a broom."
Brilliant.

She’ll be fine. And in a year or two when she divorces him, she’ll pop back to the UK where the kid was born, knowing she’ll get a much better settlement deal here.Bend it like Repka wrote: ↑Thu May 28, 2020 10:22 am Remember that Megan Markle moved back to the US to get away from the terribly racist British folk

A beluga whale has been spotted off the coast of San Diego. There’s lost and then there’s lost, and this is lost.
