5) HORSE EELS
In 1960 a trio of Catholic priests from Dublin were fishing in Lough Ree lake. There they saw a monster. 6 feet long with flat head "like a python's". The name Horse Eel dates from the early 20th century when farmers claimed to often see similar beasts come ashore to graze

3) WELL HALL BOGGART
"Well Hall, near Clitheroe, had a boggart of a sociable disposition, who used to keep an old woman company by the fireside on long winter nights. Although friendly towards the old woman, he is claimed to have once chained a man to the wall in his temper."

Yup, I'm getting a 5 hour train, first class, late October in Eastern Europe - costing under £25. In the UK it would be £200 +

For the price of a return ticket to Liverpool to visit my mum, I could have a week in the sun with cocktails. It’s not even a direct train! I crossed the whole of Czechia last year for under £20. This time, I’ll be driving north as apparently, it’s the budget option now.

The names of 18,457 children in Gaza brutally murdered by Israel.

This is genocide. The International Association of Genocide Scholars resolution was backed by 86% of members. They say this is genocide.

Israel want to wipe out every child in Gaza so they don't grow up and seek revenge.

This lurid headline is about British tourists no longer getting away with overstaying in Schengen. Or being 'illegals', as it's often called in the UK.
