At least he wasn’t handing the child an eclair.

Yes, I know I have an express ticket to hell when I die.

That's an unfortunate erection. Of the statue, I mean.

Some of the comments on the school's Facebook apology are quite astounding.

I wanted to quote Karen Lively Rodgers who said we should pray, pray for the detractors' minds to become clean but Facebook comments don't allow cut and paste.

My mind must be in the gutter but it certainly looks to me like he has a bread roll or cob on, erm, I mean a cob in his hand.

There's a local loaf called a fadge but that joke doesn't quite work in this context. Maybe the priest is saying "fancy a quick roll before the big mass"? Or "I like little buns", or something.

I'll get my coat.

The school's principal has apologised on Facebook for erecting the statue.

Beautiful choice of words.

Beautiful choice of words.

BBC funny/strange news stories are full of punny asides like this. I guess it's how those journalism graduates amuse themselves while seemingly wasting their talents on fluffy inconsequential pieces such as this one.

...I was like, "hang on, why would UKMikey give us links to Britain First twitter channel", and then I saw that it was British First, instead. The last twit was clearly a fake news, IMO. That was not a man, but a girl. You can tell, by the skirt/dress on the person.

Don't know if it's strange, but it's pretty rare and heroic...

An ambulance arrived to assist an injured person in Stockholm. A closer look on the ambulance suggested some kind of world record in emergency dispatching, since this ambulance came from Russia.

Spoiler

The ambulance was actually transporting a Russian citizen, who had been injured during a business trip, back to Russia. They simply stopped by to give assist when they saw an injured person on the pavement.

Deserved to die; would spice up this year's Darwin Award.

No-one "deserves to die" but he's lucky they didn't charge him £650, the stupid git.
