What do you make of this?

He has an undefined neurological condition and his doctors have decided to turn of his life support, describing him as "semi-vegetative". According to his father, he is responsive and can open his eyes and smile. So there's a disputed medical opinion and I can't speak to that, but his parents want to take him to Italy to be treated there and they've been told they can't. That's the part I don't get. His doctors in the UK say there's no point continuing to treat him. That's their decision, but why are they allowed to say someone else can't treat him? If the doctors here have washed their hands of him, why can't his parents take him wherever they want?

He wasn't trying to be funny - he meant it.

A yeoman warder on a tv program: "We don't really know why we are called Beefeaters...
Years ago we were paid in meat"

I've come to the conclusion that I rather like him. He's on ITV breakfast TV at the moment, and the first ten minutes of the show at 6am seem to be him having a forum-style rant at just about anything.

Yesterday he ranted about how he couldn't refer to a 'weather girl' any more and had to say 'meteorologist'. He ranted on about this for ten minutes on live TV.

Looks like the BBC got a quote out of the new baby already. He's talking quickly!

Good that the baby has an opinion on motherhood pressures already.

I bought one of those lamb shank things from a supermarket.

Fresh, not chilled.

It appears to be vacuum packed.

You microwave it in seven minutes so I guess it's at least partly cooked.

It has a whole month as its use by date.

How does this work? How does it not go off, even slightly, in this time?
