next time I'm DFL.

Just make sure it's the first Thursday of the month.

I love that they used his Tinder profile pic to illustrate the story.

TBF, I don't think I fit the profile for your average / random DFL.
Not when most of my time in Wizzybell is spent doing DIY and house mods for m'Julie
Or walking her dog on the beach.
Or doing car-park duty in the charity car park at the Junior School.
I've never been in The Old Neptune or had oysters.

But I'll tell you what.
I can spot 'em! (DFLs)

Dating for love?

I'd love to think that someone has more ethernet cables than Kim and I, but I feel a tint of Southend News Network here?

Hmmm. My sister posted the cutting on facebook and she's normally a reliable source so it didn't even occur to me that it might be questionable. But now you mention it...

I shall make enquiries.

Strikes me as deeply suspicious that someone who collects Ethernet cables doesn't have a decent website (that I can find, anyway)...

There was a young man from Leeds
Who swallowed a packet of seeds
In half an hour
His bum was a flower
And his willy was covered in weeds

Said to be temporary - soon to be deflowered?

£85 victim surcharge? A seagull? And a curfew? Must mind my chips.

[Edit. Yes I know how the victim surcharge scheme works. Just have this image of a pack of his seagull pals enjoying a splurge on £85 worth of chips and assorted deep fried things

Thief steals Devon seaside resort dog poo bin

Police have been mulling the possible reasons for why someone would steal a dog poo bin from a seaside resort.

It was unscrewed from its mounting and taken at Fisherman's Cove in East Portlemouth, Devon sometime between Tuesday or Wednesday.

"Over the years I've investigated many crimes," said a police spokesman. "Some interesting, some not so. This one is up there on the [interesting] list."

Officers are looking for leads to locate the bin, "but not its contents".
