London Euston Cat-Astrophe Averted For Train-Surfing Puss
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.
Except for the headline, the BBC resisted the urge to use more feline puns in the story.
Mon Dieu! Le Soleil A Volé Notre Titre
The Sun today has a headline of Brexit 1 – Brussels 0!
The title of this post, is possibly the reaction of the editor of the leading French newspaper; Le Figaro, that according to Andrew Marr, used the headline first.
Crash Diets Turn Lockdown’s Fat Cats Into Fit Kits
The title of this post, is the same as that of an article in The Sunday Times.
I just think it is a very good title for an article.
It’s almost the whole story in a title.
Go-ahead For £900m London Bishopsgate Goodsyard
The title of this post, is the same as that, of this article on Construction Enquirer.
It seems a good scheme.
- Mixed-use urban quarter.
- 500 homes, half affordable.
- 1.4m sq ft of workspace
- Public park sitting on top of restored historic railway arches
- Six acres of public realm.
There is only one major problem, as far as I can see. – If Crossrail is still running late, this project could further delay it, by stealing the resources needed to finish the job.
Yet again, the Mayor has given planning permission to a project that could delay Crossrail, by stealing its resources.
Planning permission, should be conditional on Crossrail being finished.
A Central Line Connection To The East London Line At Shoreditch High Street Station
Shoreditch High Street station will be very close to the development.
There will be twenty trains per hour (tph) on London Overground’s East London Line.
Under Future Proposals in the Wikipedia entry for the station, this is said.
There have also been discussions of creating an interchange with the Central line between Liverpool Street and Bethnal Green which runs almost underneath the station. However, this would not be able to happen until after the Crossrail 1 project is complete, due to extreme crowding on the Central line during peak hours.
I think it will be a good idea, to create the connection.
Bristol Illegal Rave Attended By 700 People
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.
This is the sub-title.
Police say they were attacked as they tried to break up an illegal rave at a warehouse near Bristol.
Let’s hope it gives lots of work for criminal defence solicitors.

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article in The Times.

How To Return A Wallet Or Purse
There’s an interesting little tale in The Times today, which is entitled Penny Trail Leads To Missing Wallet.
A guy fpund a wallet. In it were some valuable cards, so the finder sent a penny to the account on the debit card he found.
He did this four times in total and used the reference field to say he’d got the wallet and give his mobile number.
The owner got in contact and all was sorted out.
Nothing Changes
The Americans never change, when it comes to the crimes and misdemeanours of their diplomats, forces personnel and their families in the United Kingdom.
Over the last few days, the case of the death of Harry Dunn, by a stupid driver reportedly on the wrong side of the road, has come to attention on the news.
Perhaps, twenty-five years ago, C and myself were at a dinner party given by a Chinese friend and we got talking to a retired Chief Constable from East Anglia, who C knew through various legal connections.
At the time, there had just been a fatal road crash involving a United States serviceman, near one of the many bases and there was a row going on, as the suspect had been whisked back home.
I remember the retired Policeman saying that it was always happening and justice was rarely seen to be done.
Up For Grabs: Rene’s Fallen Madonna With The Big…
The title of this post, is the same as that of a short humorous article in today’s Times.
It’s the prop for that running gag in ‘Allo ‘Allo!

Who was it who said, he who laughs last, laughs loudest?
Will we be expecting a repeat on BBC2?
