Oh, that's ok then.

Laura Trott speaks out:

“Earlier this year I was asked to attend an awards ceremony for the Sexiest Women in the World. That was just a no-go for me. That whole other side of things just does not appeal to me. I do sport because I like being an athlete. I want to inspire young girls to get on their bikes, and I just believe there is a certain way of doing that, a certain way that I want to be seen.”

'The pilot of the second plane landed the aircraft safely at Richard I Bong Airport, from where it took off.'

I think that might have been the problem.

I've previously worked at a digital music service & these things happen quite often, in the case of the services we ran the detection process was completely manual & was a running joke in the office that we all had tracks on repeat earning us extra money.

This is my worst nightmare. No more bananas chez mashton.

I bought bananas from Sainsbury's last night. Scared to go home now.

Wait it out in the pub, should be safe to go home about 11ish.

This is a better quality of scare than all the hoo-hah about 'false widows', as banana spiders are definitely more dangerous than those, but read this, too:

Fully-grown, they can be nearly five centimetres long. :)

In the sense that, it's the largest civic protest this year ignored by mainstream media?

Her majesty was reported to be unconcerned as she fed steak to her yappy little shit dogs.

So what is the story, ain't no one got 45 minutes to watch a video of someone standing in a small group in the dark.
