That's not a maze, it's a highly sophisticated crop circle. It's time to be worried, very worried.

Point of order: that's a dogsheep - much more interesting (or at least comedy) than a sheepdog.

I wasn't paying attention, but you're right - more curious.

Sheepdog dies.

I spotted this in a copy of the York Press from this week:

"Pan Fire Alarm

A pan caught fire when it was left unattended on an oven hub (sic) in Friarage Gardens, Northallerton. The blaze set off a smoke alarm and badly damaged the pan."

Amazed it didn't make the News at Ten....

Obviously a male ferret. Men are always squabbling over who gets the remote.

That's great. It's like someone has turned the internet upside down. The article consists of a hodgepodge of ill-informed badly argued spluttering rants, and the responses are carefully reasoned, polite and interesting reads.
