To Bodmin Jail in darkest Cornwall, led on by promises of a spooktacular experience in supposedly one of the most haunted buildings in the south west. And it contains this unintentionally hilarious gem, more of which later: But you’ll need to get there soon, because everything is going to change for the better within the…

Yes you did read that correctly. A mum on Facebook has acted like it is the biggest coincidence ever that her six-year-old daughter’s sixth birthday is exactly six years after the date of her birth.  We know right? Awe-inspiring. It’s like it’s some sort of divine message from the guy upstairs. This is just one…

The word “hero” gets bandied about a lot these days, and is often applied to people who do not deserve it at all. But we can all agree that anybody who spent hours in the flaming hell of the Grenfell Tower fire are among the best that humanity has to offer. And the firefighter known…

The iconic image of any general election in the UK is usually the victorious party leader arriving at Number 10 to take on the task of running the country. Not the first election of 2017. Oh no. This year it’s the sight of a man with a cape, a very tall head and spray-painted cricket…

Never make a threat you’re not prepared to carry out. And journalist Matthew Goodwin threatened to eat a copy of his book on Brexit if Jeremy Corbyn and Labour got more than 38% of the vote in the General Election.

Our hero of the week award goes to Maurice Pledger, who not only found a mushroom that looks like a man’s hampton, but he took a photo and sent it in to his local newspaper. Or, it could be a murdered porn star in a shallow grave and we’ve stumbled across a crime scene. You…

To be fair, if you decide to go to school dressed as Sir David Attenborough, and then you get a lovely letter from Sir David Attenborough himself afterwards, that’s pretty cool.
