Went back to the article to find the details that had given me that impression (I know I had thought that the "Wigan Council" was the preschool's board, not an elected council, but that definitely could have been wrong,) but the article's been taken down now.

Strange, I got a 404 from my link, in IE7. But when I copied the link in Firefox, it connected ok. Then I tried in IE7 again, and it connected. The reason I tried that was, I had saved a link to the Cardboard Dad in another Brit paper, and when I tried to post last night the same thing happened.

Local, not weird, sorry.... didn't want to start a whole thread though.

Jimmy Johns burned down.

CHADDS FORD — Fire ripped through Jimmy John’s Eatery about 8:19 a.m. Saturday following a propane-tank explosion in the kitchen grill area.

Restaurant employee Scott Gilmour described the fire as a tragedy. The historic eatery was to celebrate its 70th anniversary Saturday.

cheese sandwich is the punishment lunch in school here if you haven't paid your lunch bill....

the article linked to is sensationalist BS though, written for the rise, not necessarily in the interest of reporting the truth.

Besides, given the location and it's proximity to Liverpool, they nursery staff are probably just trying to cover up that some scouser stole the kids sandwich while they were on a fag break.

Earlier this month a school in Atlanta, Georgia, penalised pupils who had indulged in a food fight by serving a “cheese sandwich only” menu for several consecutive days. Sounds like heaven to us.

Don't forget, this would be school cafeteria "bread" and "cheese," not some fragrant emmantaler melted delicately atop a toasted baguette. School food is the same processed stuff they feed to prisoners.

Spiderman traps thief - for real

IT sounds like a comic book plot - Spiderman foils a would-be thief as Star Wars Jedi Knights block the escape route and superhero The Flash looks on.

But this was the scene played out in a city shop on Saturday, when a business owner dressed as Spiderman stopped a man shoplifting an X-Men book worth $160.

Adelaide Comics Centre owner Michael Baulderstone, 45, spotted a man "behaving suspiciously" at the back of his Rundle Mall store, before discovering he had put the valuable book in his backpack.

"We had about 40 people dressed up as their favourite superheroes to celebrate International Free Comic Day, so he didn't have much of a choice but to hand the X-Men Omnibus back after a little bit of a scuffle," he said.

"I've had a look at the security footage and it shows Spiderman running down the corridor of the shop, grabbing this guy, hauling him off.

Awesome, but where was Kick-ass when we needed him?

lol - and I really tried not to have that misinterpret-able.

xoxoxoBruce · 05-11-2010, 08:17 PM

It was, but not unpunable.

HungLikeJesus · 05-03-2010, 07:25 AM

They should have let him keep it - it was Free Comic Day.
