Even more layers of scrapey-scrapey stuff, even less lack of
cold, just about the same amount of atmospheric movement, quite a lot of Keats
and sod all solar stuff at the Castle this morn.
The battery in the Honda is a bit low on charge (lack of
use) and it needs a good run to get it charged up, if I can raise the funds for
go juice.
The Catholic
diocese of Milan has doubled the number of priests who practice exorcism and
set up a hotline to deal with the volume of calls.
In an interview
published on a Church-affiliated news website, it said it had increased the
number of specially trained priests from six to 12.
It has also
published the names and mobile telephone numbers of priests able to deal with
such requests.
The number, set up
in early November, will run for a few hours each day.
People calling it
will be able to book an appointment to see a local priest with specific
training.
Monsignor Angelo
Mascheroni, who has trained priests to carry out exorcisms for the past 15
years, said demand had soared recently.
"Often, parents call me saying that their son or
daughter doesn't go to school, that they are taking drugs or rebelling. There's
no demon there but, at the age of 18, young people don't want any more
limitations. It's important to be able to discern the different
situations," Monsignor Mascheroni said.
Well; bugger them.....
His latest cunning plan while cycling around India is to
lower the top rate of income tax for those who are not “all in this together”
to 30pees in the squid.
Speaking yesterday on the final day of his tour, bonkers
Boris said: “You’ve got tax rates here of only 30 per cent – a point George
Osborne might like to brood on.
Asked later whether he would stand for parliament and
eventually launch a Conservative Party leadership attempt, balls up Boris said:
“Three-and-a-half years in politics … we will have to see what will happen.”
However, he then added when asked about becoming Prime Monster: “I can assure
you that it is about as likely as me being decapitated by a Frisbee.”
Look out Boris incoming Frisbee....
Next Friday is the grand finale of Brazil's annual Miss
Bumbum pageant in Sao Paulo. Fifteen curvy young ladies are competing after
surviving an online eliminatory round that drew representatives of the country's
26 states and the federal district Brasilia.
The contestants
worked hard to prepare for the final, including taking surfing and jungle
training courses to tighten their buns.
Should have gorn to Specsavers....
A Chicago TV station spent about 15 minutes reporting on a
plane crash that turned out to be simulated for the TV series "Chicago
Fire."
WGN-TV reported on the crash, which was a simulated scene
around 8 a.m. Friday for NBC series "Chicago Fire," complete with a
small plane with its left wing splintered off, police cars and ambulance and
extras acting as spectators, WMAQ-TV, Chicago, reported Friday.
Police said they did not receive any calls about the fake
plane crash, but the Chicago Fire Department sent out an alert asking residents
to disregard the scene.
Had the same sort of thing at the Castle a few years ago-almighty explosion from the “common” just up the road-shook all the windows, turned out to be a scene from a Bond film that “they” didn’t want anyone to know about....
Video footage filmed by a bystander
shows the Chinese Hongdu K-8 jet-trainer making a low pass over the airfield
when the nose of the plane dips suddenly.
The crew make the split-second decision to eject from the
aircraft. Their parachutes can be seen deploying as the aircraft slams into the
ground, where it is quickly consumed by a fireball. Both crew members survived
the crash.
That’s the way to do it...
And finally:
According to “researchers” the existence of the unicorn has
been proven.
Archaeologists "reconfirmed" the existence of a
"unicorn lair" in Pyongyang, once used by an ancient Korean king.
The report quotes Jo Hui Sung, director of North
Korea's history institute, explaining how the find tallies with information in
history books from the 16th century.
He says: "Korea's history books deal with the
unicorn, considered to be ridden by King Tongmyong, and its lair.
"The temple served as a relief palace for King
Tongmyong, in which there is the lair of his unicorn."
The Korean
Central News Agency reports that archaeologists made the extraordinary
discovery when they spotted a rectangular rock carved with the words "unicorn
lair" 200m from the city's Yongmyong temple.
There’s a bit of luck a signpost...
