A cyclist says he has been left stumped as to why a mysterious chair has been dumped in a field off a rural lane.
Ted Prangnell, from Kennington, was out riding in Goodcheap Lane near Hinxhill on Monday last week when he paused for a break.
He said: “I had stopped, and then looked over a gate when I saw the chair in the field. I thought ‘why would someone dump a chair like that?’
“It is such an oddball thing to have seen. Usually things which are dumped are damaged, broken or old, but this doesn’t appear to be in bad condition.
“It has pulleys and loops for rope or chord on each side and at the back. I suspect someone out there knows what it is for, probably those who left it there know best.”
But what is the chair used for? In the newsroom it has provoked some dark suggestions from history.
One suggestion is that resembles the chairs used to restrain people in an electric chair before being executed for their misdeeds in the United States of America.
The method was first used in 1890, and was an option in as many as half of the states of the USA, but is now only used in eight states.
Another suggestion is that it could be a chair used to dunk witches in lakes and rivers to test to see if they floated during the 16th and 17th centuries.
GASTONIA, N.C. – A North Carolina couple faces charges after allegedly assaulting each other with pizza rolls, according to WJZY.
Brad Scott Beard, 24, and Samantha Brooke Canipe, 21, were each charged on Monday with one count of misdemeanor simple assault.
The suspects allegedly got into a fight at their Gastonia apartment around 1 a.m., and started throwing pizza rolls at each other. A motive in the incident remains uncertain.
It’s not clear if they sustained any injuries in the alleged snack skirmish.
Beard faces 60 days in jail and Canipe faces 30 days in jail, according to WJZY.
One model boat club member who had two of his boats attacked has taken to writing to the Queen in a bid to get the “menace” moved on.
Dean Cable, 23, from Wickham Skeith, said he is afraid to put his boats in the water if the swan is about.
He said: “I wrote to the Queen telling her the swan is a menace and I would like him to be moved on if possible.
“I said usually I like swans, but this one was attacking our boats and I would like to be able to boat in peace.
“I told her the geese have no problem with us, the ducks seem to enjoy it and the swans we used to have at the lake were not a problem. One duck even hopped onto a barge for a ride.
“It is just this swan that is a problem and I want to see him moved elsewhere. I had one of my boats valued a month ago and I can tell you I don’t want that swan in the water at the same time as my boat.”
Nothing very unusual or funny here but I post it as a nice local story.
Henley pub landlords marry
The landlord of the Old Bell in Bell Street, Henley on Thames, married his business partner whom he met when she started drinking there to make friends and eventually offered him a drink.
The wedding party was transported by several vintage sports cars, had a reception at Leander Club (now featuring strongly in Olympic Rowing) and a river cruise.
Heart-warming stuff and I shall try to pop into the Old Bell more often in future. Though with seven other pubs within three minutes walk there is plenty of competition!
One of the great questions that has troubled mankind for aeons.
Of course we'll never truly know as such information ...

An artisan cheese festival descended into chaos last night.
The "fromage-themed extravaganza" took place on Wednesday at London's famous Borough Market, and hordes turned up, all eager to get a taste of free cheese.
More than 18,000 people said they were attending on Facebook, and it seems many of them actually went (unlike most events). It was too packed. People vented their annoyance at the festival, complaining of 'dangerous overcrowding'.
Only adding to the misery, others were frustrated at the appearance of a group of vegan protesters, who hurled insults in an anti- cheese demonstration while streaming videos of sad-looking cows.
'Elbowed in the boob'
Kelly Fox had a torrid time and even got hit in the face by a flailing backpack.
“Couldn’t get a look in at any of the stalls," she wrote.
"At one point we were just stuck in the middle of everyone and no one was moving.
"I got elbowed in the boob and backpacked in the face! Gave up in the end and went to Regent Street to look at the Christmas lights. Was looking forward to this all month. Disappointing.”
David Wallace didn't even see any cheese.
“Gave up on this before we even saw any cheese, never mind tasted it,” he wrote.
“Utter, utter shambles. Ridiculously overcrowded, poorly organised and, frankly, a public relations disaster for Borough Market.”
Andy Green travelled all the way from Kent to eat cheese and was very upset by the meltdown.
He said on Facebook: “What a terrible shame you could not organise this properly, it was just an evening of squeeze!”
“Dangerously overcrowded and not much fun at all, we have never been so relieved to be back on the train to Folkestone!"
"We went to Nandos! Proper shambles!" said Hayley Meades.
Michael Bell chided: "Never had to battle for cheese before. Great to see such demand for great product, but utter chaos."
And, naturally, the cheese puns rolled in like a wheel of gorgonzola.
Alex Hawley said: "Sounds like it should have been planned a bit more Caerphilly."
Michaelle Utz wrote: "Well....I couldn't give an Edam!"
Georgia Georgallis joked: "It just wasn't Gouda enough..."
And Michael Thurston said: "I don't know what people are talking about, I had a grate time."
The cheese festival has been running for ten years. It's usually popular, but 2016 proved too much.
However, others proffered some 'perspective'.
Amalia Di Prosecco (we've asked if that's her real name) commented on Facebook: “I’m sorry – we are still talking about a free cheese night and not the war in South Sudan, the famine in Yemen or the well-documented Syrian invasion aren’t we?
“I popped in tonight. And yes there were queues. The queues didn’t put me off – it was what was f****** in them that did.”
Borough Market managing director, Darren Henaghan, said in a statement: “Whilst it went off without incident, we were saddened to hear that a small minority of visitors were disappointed with the Evening of Cheese.
“For the last 10 years we have opened this historic and unique market at Christmas for this special event, and this year saw unprecedented numbers attend, making the market much busier than usual.
“Clearly there are some lessons to be learnt due to the event’s popularity and we’ll be taking feedback into account for next year.”
The evening itself generally sees couples out for dinner -- the women drinking red wine whilst the men , for some reason, tend to stick to soft drinks.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - Authorities say a man who tried to deposit what he presented as a $1 million bill has been charged with drug possession in Iowa.
A criminal complaint says Sioux City police officers were called to a Northwest Bank branch Thursday to talk to a man who tried to deposit the bill into his account. The officers asked 33-year-old Dennis Strickland whether he had any more of the bills and that a baggie fell out when he emptied a pocket. The complaint says the baggie contained methamphetamine.
The U.S. Treasury Department says it has never produced a $1 million bill.
Iowa court records say Strickland is scheduled to be back in court Monday. His attorney hasn't returned a call Tuesday from The Associated Press.
The best part of this story is knowing perfectly well that some reporter from the AP had to call the US Treasury, probably wait on hold for an hour while they got bounced around, just so they could say that they asked and confirmed that the US Treasury has indeed never made a $1 million dollar bill.

Those weird brown "parasites" that get passed in their children's stool? Yeah...those aren't really parasites, those are bits of their children's disintegrating bowel linings.

Tokyo is exceedingly polite, even when you are in the wrong, though. They apologise because it's not your fault you're an idiot.
That should really read "psychopath endangers lives in Wolverhampton for personal gain". The little gak was interviewed and said he "didn't care" that he wasted the time and resources of the fire brigade. It's to get him money from his YouTube video, so apparently that's OK. I hope his next stunt goes wrong.

And because this could actually inconvenience some people. The trains are so damn to the clock that you could use them to set your own watch. Or board blindfolded into one based on the clock and be sure the train is there.
They pretty much need to get official proof of train being late or boss won't likely believe he was late from work because train was not time(compare to Finland where my 10 train rides a week usually has at least 4 that are late). Imagine what nuisance missing train that left too early is!
A cow escaped from a transport to the slaughterhouse, smashed through a metal fence, broke the arm of an employee who tried to catch her, then swam to an island in the middle of a lake, where she remains 3 weeks later, attacking anyone who approaches
This follows on nicely from the previous Polish cow saga :
Unfortunately I have never been able to find it online but there was once a story on the local news station in Youngstown Ohio about the assassination of a tom turkey in near by Mercer County, and the wounding of the local land management agent in the ensuing shootout.
Last year a local news station here had a hilarious story about the police chasing a man with a broomstick on the roundabout of a small town in the middle of night. The guy apparently was under the impression that he was a witch and that he could fly. The police were successful in taking away his broomstick.

Memorial sculpture of Uley's gorilla John Daniel approved
A sculpture honouring a gorilla who lived in a Cotswolds village will be erected after receiving local approval.
The ape, called John Daniel, was adopted by Alyce Cunningham, from Uley, Gloucestershire, in 1918 after her brother bought it for £300 in London.
The animal was raised like a normal child, had its own bedroom and could use the light switch and toilet.
Stroud District Council has now granted planning permission for a sculpture of the ape on Uley village green.
The Uley Society's Dr Rod White said he hopes it will be formally unveiled "sometime in September or very early October".
John Daniel was captured as a baby in Gabon and brought to the UK, where Ms Cunningham's brother Rupert Penny saw it for sale in a department store.
She adopted the ape and nicknamed him Sultan.
Uley village archivist Margaret Groom said the villagers were very fond of him, and John would play with children, eat roses from gardens and drink cups of tea.
Once it grew to adult size Ms Cunningham could no longer look after it so, in 1921, she sold it to an American for one thousand guineas.
The gorilla died of pneumonia in the USA a year later.
She thought it would be sent to a home in Florida, but instead the ape ended up in Barnum and Baileys Circus.
There its health deteriorated, with reports reaching Ms Cunningham that the animal was pining for her.
She set sail for New York but the gorilla, by now aged four-and-a-half, died from pneumonia before she arrived.
Okay in Finnish so I try to explain what it's about. Basically Alko(Finland's alcoholic bewerages selling store. Stronger stuff like wine etc can't be bought on regular stores so you need to buy from Alko) is opening up store near where lots of students from Institute of technology live. Student's abstincence organization is going about organizing attempt to buy everything from the store so that they can "drink it all up so that other's don't have to"

"stronger stuff like wine". In Russia you can find wine in the lemonade section of the supermarket. I thought the Finns were quite fond (as in too fond) of drinking as well. But you guys actually seem to have a lot of restrictions and such in place. Although I also just learned the word "kalsarikännit", which is hilarious

Well we drink beer quite a lot which you can buy from any market. And stronger stuff is available in most places. And of course you can bring in(to a some limit) stuff from foreign countries so Estonia etc are popular places though now that tax went up there has decreased.

Taco Bell is to Mexican food what McDonalds is to great hamburgers. It's quick, fast, fairly cheap... and about the quality you should expect from those three points.

A follow-up of sorts can be found HERE. The tiny fish seen in the video was not, in fact, the one causing all the trouble. A 1lb perch was caught with the aid of an electric stun-rod a few weeks later. Although the owner of the pond admitted that it was probably herons who had eaten most of his goldfish after all.

They covered it breathlessly for about a 5 minute segment.

Notwithstanding the fact that Fresno has two rifle units, a military transport unit, a military helicopter repair stations, and is a refueling point for air defense...

That's the beauty/horror of MIRVs. They would have nailed the military installations, the city, the nearby towns, and created a hell of an impassable (outside of NBC gear) hole in the map. Not that it would've mattered much since at that point the entire map could've been tossed out the window.

true but the limited 'research' they had done made up showed the blast radius falling fairly short of the base, admittedly this the early 80's, said same paper then got over-excited about UFOs that them sneaky aliens had disguised as the training planes the base used

Das Eidgenössische Departement für Umwelt, Verkehr, Energie und Kommunikation teilte auf Anfrage mit, man habe den Brief des deutschen Umweltministeriums zur Kenntnis genommen. Die Schweizer Energiepolitik werde aber von zwei Volksabstimmungen gestützt: Im Jahr 2016 lehnten die Schweizer die Atomausstiegsinitiative ab und nahmen ein Jahr später die sogenannte Energiestrategie 2050 an, die kein Abschaltdatum für die Kernkraftwerke vorsieht.
TLDR: German SPD politician complains about Nuclear energy, complains about not beeing regarded in Swiss decision for energy planning. Ignoring two seperate popular votes and basically intervening in internal politics as determined by their own meassurements.

This is the world where a woman tried to dry off her cat in the microwave.
We've put food in the microwave to store loads of times - specifically because we have a dog (which is also a husky). Got some meat that's not cold enough for the fridge yet you want to keep it out of the dog's reach - microwave. Just made a sandwich and don't want it stolen when you leave the room - microwave.
Thankfully ours hasn't worked out how to open it and it is only short term storage not long term.
Also, even with nothing inside, microwaves can build up a lot of heat if left running with nothing inside.
That all said - I'm not surprised a bored husky got itself in trouble. They are inquisitive canines!
