Just had this Tweet from Brent Council:

Brent Council ‏@Brent_Council  1m1 minute ago
Due to an unexplored WW2 bomb Brent Civic Centre and surrounding buildings have been evacuated. Please avoid the area.

Not sure whether this should go here or on grammar/spelling that makes you cringe.

Amazed they can have a beumb inna brand new building that's been open only a couple of years!

Unexplored bomb...

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

Is "closude" some hateful neologism that needs its own thread or just a rather dull typo?

9 bizarre World Records broken in Bedfordshire

Well, 7, actually. Unless I've been wrong all these years and Silverstone really is in Beds ::-). And Number 9 has the most tenuous link to the county and shouldn't be included.

Number 2 certainly qualifies for Motorised Moron :o.

But the county boundary in those parts is the one separating Bucks and Northants.

Police said cattle were not believed to be involved in this incident. So far this year, no collisions involving cattle have been reported.

Sadly cows being killed on the Common is a too frequently reported story here.

There was a plan to put luminous collars on all the cows. That was back in the '80s.

Elephants (domesticated ones, in forestry, military and temples) walking along roads are a frequent casualty on India's roads. Dawn seems to be peak-elephant hitting time.

Woman in Birmingham jailed after making 'loud sex noises'

The great thing about that one is the photo.  They obviously couldn't be arsed to do anything more complicated than gack an image from Streetview, but it gives an erroneous impression that Small Heath is all KFCs and queues for roundabouts.  I know for a fact that Small Heath also has a McDonald's.

Sadly not on the website, but a Kenilworth garage was burgled and they got away with the biscuit tin.  Mayhem.
