Yesterday was the 80th anniversary of the launch of operation Mincemeat.
A nice ceremony to remember "the man who never was."

Terrible news from the white isle,

We did a lovely 3 week long house swap a few years ago as she was very close to a few good friends of mine.

RIP Sommer, praying for little Betty and Nick.

In Texas, right by the border, a man drives an SUV straight into a bunch of people outside of a Migrant centre. I think 7 are dead & several more injured.

The driver is an Hisoanic bloke himself.

f*** knows why he did this. Angry because his family 'did it the legal way' which is the common narrative from fox b*llocks?

This will also play into the pro gun lobby & the anti Hispanic lobby in one swoop.

America is getting more crazy everyday.

Have been following this after someone shared a video a few days ago.

He's about 2 weeks in and has consistently done 50-55km per day at a pace of around 6:00/km. Got to the South Africa/Namibia border and they've had a delay crossing due to support vehicle needing some repairs. Rather than wait on that he just went on alone. In the middle of the night because it would have been to hot to run in the desert unsupported during the day.

Where Florida leads Scotland follows.
A poster for an Italian restaurant with Michelangelo's naked statue of David has been barred from Glasgow subway.

The firm that manages the advertising space requested for the poster to be edited to hide the statue's nudity.

DRG Group, which owns Glasgow's Barolo restaurant, said it was "surprised" by the response to the advert - which shows the Renaissance sculpture eating a slice of pizza.

It created a new version of the poster that hides the statue's crotch area.
