With all this criss crossing of the UK by Ian and Martin's separate beat combos, it would be very interesting to know what would happen if they met by chance at the Watford Gap service station. (Other service stations are available)

www.bbc.com/news/health-43699484Man in hospital after eating world's hottest chilli10 April 2018 A man who ate the world's hottest chilli pepper in a chilli-eating contest ended up in hospital after experiencing "thunderclap" headaches. The 34-year-old man had eaten one Carolina Reaper chilli in the contest in New York State. The "crushingly painful" headaches came on in the next few days. His experience has been published in the BMJ Case Reports as it is the first case to be associated with eating chilli peppers. The doctor who reviewed his case has warned anyone eating hot chilli peppers to seek medical attention immediately if they experience sudden onset headaches. "Thunderclap" headaches are caused by the sudden tightening of the vessels that supply blood to the brain, a condition known as reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCSV). Immediately after eating at the contest, the man experienced dry heaves. Severe neck pain developed over the next few days along with debilitating severe headaches, lasting just a few seconds at a time. The pain was so bad he went to the emergency room and was tested for various neurological conditions, but the results were negative. A CT scan showed that several arteries in his brain had constricted, leading doctors to diagnose him with RCVS.

Can you get a Happy ( and I'm smiling, walked a mile to drink your carbonated sugar water) Meal at British McDonald's or is that just an American promotion? I need to know these things.

Yes, yes and yes. You can experience the Brits at play while enjoying a Big Mac, cola and fries along with other people's kids running around, screaming babies and couples arguing. What more do you want ?

He is not the first person to take on the gut-busting pepper.
This is what we found out when they first went on sale in Plymouth back in 2016.
Nothing too offensive has ever come out of boring Bedfordshire, right?
Apart from Jethro Tull and Luton, anyway.
Until now.
The UK's most nondescript county now has a new claim to fame: it produces the hottest chillies in the world. And that's official.
At 1.5 million Scoville units, the Carolina Reaper is 400 times hotter than a humble jalapeno.
[So Blackpool's now in Bedfordshire right ?]

Not to worry, flute players need to know how to take flutes apart, clean them, oil them and reassemble, without damaging the pads, and then to be sure the springs and connectors are all working in sync. IKEA flutes designed by Sven, Bjorn and Helda? Is the sales price about $37.95? Can you make a didgeredoo out of them if you duct tape three together and cover the holes with a cedar laminate?

Trouble is that it'll be sod's law that you'll re-assemble the damn thing and there'll be one small piece left over

www.denverpost.com/2018/07/16/tuesday-july-17-2018-letters-pedestrian-vs-bike-cartoon-rocky-flats/THE DENVER POSTTuesday, July 17, 2018 letters: Pedestrian vs. bike
Bikes can be a danger tooRe: “New legislation outlines bike intersection behavior,” July 14 news story Your article does not address the challenges and harm that bicycles often cause pedestrians. I was shocked at the quote by Jill Gaebler, president pro-tem of the Colorado Springs City Council: “I’m sensitive to those drivers who have concerns. The difference is, when a car breaks a law, they (can) kill someone. When a biker breaks the law, the only person that person is going to hurt is themselves.” January 18, 2017, I was walking across 14th at California. I was hit from behind on my left side and catapulted forward. I broke my wrist, two pelvic bones, my sacrum and an ankle bone. I had three stitches in my forehead. I was in Denver Health for five days, at The Center at Lincoln for rehab for over a month, then rehab at home. The only fortunate thing is that a Littleton fireman was behind me and witnessed everything. He said the bicyclist was looking down and running a red light. I would like to participate in any way to bring bicycle safety issues to the public’s attention. At age 78, I suffered for an important year of my later life. Ann Tull, Englewood

The Monster Raving Looney Party held their annual conference last week and among their policy suggestions were these two gems: Puddles deeper than three inches will be marked by a yellow plastic duck.
Terrorists will be made to wear bells and horns so we know where they are. I think I might join

HOLY TULL-O-WEEN 2018 CRANK IT UP gothling1955 Published on Mar 30, 2009 Okay, this clip is an exceedingly silly offering. Laughing is certainly permitted, so by all means knock yourselves out if you feel so inclined. Back in the mid-1990s, I was toying around with my camcorder, and one of the projects I dreamed up was the periodic hosting of a few classic horror films for the alleged benefit of my distant friends.
Anyway, I came up somewhat short at the end of the first program, and needed to quickly produce something to use as filler. Hence the horrifying birth of this ridiculous lip-sync music video, complete with all the goofball Halloween props I could lay my hands on. Having just recently found the footage on an old VHS tape, I dropped in a freshly Audacity-tweaked audio track, so Ian & the lads sound better by leaps & bounds than on the archival copy.
(Special note: Monty Python fans will no doubt recognize "Tim The Enchanter" as a character from Python's classic "Holy Grail" flick. I was stuck for a name to call this guy, so I indulged in a little good-natured theft. He also makes an introductory appearance in my "BEASTIE FLASHBACK" video, if you're up for even more punishment.)
