Finnish #intelligence #history keeps having wild plot twists.

A retired Finnish spy-catcher with probably a world record in catching Soviet “illegals” (“at least” 25) got the largest lottery jackpot in Europe - and used the millions to do and help counterintelligence.

My 'expert' view as unofficial Professor of Biblical and Irn Bru Studies is that this ungodly mixture is covered by Leviticus 19:19. It is, therefore, an abomination.

To be honest, I'd need a lot of persuading cinnamon belongs in anything (other than cinnamon buns, and even then at a push)!

Manchester got a better deal, with the Midland Hotel retained and the station becoming a conference centre

I only remember the big station when it was temporarily used as a car park (the irony!). As a wee boy I found the gothic architecture and high shed roofs quite scary.
I believe the replacement building is now facing demolition

You might like this newspaper photo from 1976 when the Subway was extensively modernised. St Enoch mainline and its hotel with its St Pancras style raised approach has been demolished for a car park, and the Subway station floats above a huge hole in which the modern station is now located.

My favourite trebuchet story is Edward I spending three months building one at Stirling Castle - nicknamed Warwolf - then angrily ordering the garrison back inside when they tried to surrender before he had a chance to use it at them.

Reading Holy Warriors,Jonathan Phillips' excellent history of the crusades, I learn that catapults on the opposing sides at the siege of Acre at the end of the 12th century went by names such as "Bad Neighbour" and "Evil Cousin."

Reform UK’s DOGE is DEAD

EIGHT Reform UK councils are considering raising council tax because they haven’t found anything significant to cut.

That’s TWO Reform UK local election pledges broken.
