Where did they originate? They've only appeared since western govts started interfering in the Middle East. Is it true that they mainly consist of veterans from Saddams' army?...
I know it's Monday and this isn't the Sport section but having watched the final between Real Madrid and Fray Bentos, I have no doubt that both of them would wipe the floor with ANY team from these...
.........and expecting really strict security before being allowed in. We hold a service every year at Devonport in St. Nicholas' church in memory of all those lost on HM Ships Glorious, Ardent and...
The BBC continue to try and get people interested in the lame duck known as Womens Football. From what I've seen of it, it's a complete joke. How anyone can take it serious is beyond me. Not very...
There was a large clump of these in the middle of the garden, so I didn't mow them. Mrs Clarion said they're only weeds. I said they're meadow flowers and the bungle bees like them, so I didn't mow...
My daughter will be doing the swim in Lake Windermere next week for charity. She raised £300 last year and is hoping to beat that this time. Do you know anyone who is doing it?...
...it's how we dispose of our waste. NASA scientists have taken samples from all the worlds oceans and every sample contained minute traces of chemicals used in the manufacture of shower gel. Those...

........an 8" reflecting telescope. Not your everyday purchase that is it? I want to try a bit of astrophotography. I'm not expecting any fantastic deep space, large galaxy photos. You need very...
.....what did you think? I thought it was a waste of time, too predictive. All the politicians said what you expect from each of them and when there were any disputed points you couldn't tell what...
I ask this because my paternal grandfather (who died in the year I was born) fought all the way through WW1 without any injuries. However, my dad never had a good word to say for him. He said he was a...
Just watched this. A harrowing, heartbreaking true story of a 7 yr old boy, Steven Stayner, who was abducted, held captive and sexually abused for 7 years. I honestly think it would have been too much...
My daughters front hedge is seemingly infested with white tailed bumble bees. Seems to be hundreds of them. But the hedge doesn't have any flowers. It's more like large plants with large, long, pale...
I don't like footballers at the best of times. I think they're all overpaid, two-faced hypocrites but I was disgusted to see Victor Moses throw his black arm band on to the floor yesterday after being...
