If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

A bastard burgled my house while I was at work. Saw it all on my home CCTV & called the police. The police caught the burglar because he was having so much fun playing with our Golden Retriever, Daisy, that he didn't realise the cops had surrounded the place.

Liverpool go to work and Diogo Jota is not there. Why wouldn’t that affect them? | Max Rushden
We know so little about players’ personal feelings. It means everyone’s analysis of the game is fundamentally superficial

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

One of the conspirators who helped Gavrilo Princip shoot Archduke Franz Ferdinand survived to see the breakup of Yugoslavia. He could conceivably have watched the Neighbours episode where Scott and Charlene got married

Also...
New council offices were built in the early 80s
Rumour had it that
A) there was a nuclear shelter in the basement (true)
B) that in the event of nuclear war the people who would go into it were local councillors and school dinner ladies with the aim of repopulating the county (unlikely)

Fence #26 will be a special on all things print, and in tribute to the storied history of the UK gutter press, our letters page wants your GOSSIP & SCANDAL.

So, we're asking you all: what was the most scandalous (true or false) bit of gossip that dominated your school or neighbourhood growing up?
