Australian woman looking for love gives up on dating apps, heads to Bunnings instead!
You heard it first from me - ladies, if you're having trouble snagging a hubby, just go to the Hardware store, that's where you'll find men...REAL men who know about screws and hammers and fixing stuff!

I was looking for accommodation and my breath was taken away by this headline for a hotel:
God location and friendly owner.
Great to know of the positive welcome to heaven.

French fashion designer Pierre Cardin dies aged 98.
I didn’t know he was still around. My last pair of spectacle frames were Pierre Cardin.

$340,000! Tanguy is still overlooked and under valued.

This is from the Guardian online:
Woman who set herself on fire in Lesbos refugee camp charged with arson
The headline is distressing but the story is a bit different. She didn't set herself on fire; she delberately set the tent on fire when she was in it.

18 February 2021. From ScoopWhoop Media.
Man Gets His Penis Stuck In A Metal Ring. It Was As Painful As You Think.
A man in Bangkok, Thailand, turned Valentine’s Day into his worst nightmare by getting a nut stuck on his penis. In a bid to impress his girlfriend, the man decided to try a mysterious trick by putting a metal ring through his penis using baby oil, in a bid to enlarge it. But once it went in, it refused to some out. The next day his genitals had swollen so much but he waited two days before going to the hospital. ....... The ring, which had a diameter of 3 cms and a thickness of 1.5 cms was removed successfully by doctors in an hour long operation using metal cutters.
I’m glad they had steady hands, he’d have been unlucky if the blade slipped!

And more news from Wales:
'Why can't we sing in Welsh and be successful?'
Potters may contribute their own suggested answers. I would just point out the obvious. Apart from a few determined Welsh settlers in southern Argentina nobody in the rest of the world will understand a word of what you are singing.
