Farmer = redneck? Woman interested in a farmer = redneck? Both?

Often, but not always.

I see. Yes, humour is very subjective. Hypocrisy over selective generalisations...... not so much.

Daddy long legs fossil found with erection

The wording reads as there was some kind of divining rod situation with the erection.

Apt name too that.... divining rod.

Protester hits NZ minister in the face with a large rubber thing. The Prime Minister had, we're told, already pulled out.

It's more the picture in this one... at first I thought I was looking at a close-up insert of the wider picture... two fire engines leave the road in the same place on a blue light run.

Former Lotus development driver Marco Sørenson has lashed out at Carmen Jordà, claiming that he was twelve seconds per lap faster than her in the team simulator; Jordà has hit back, claiming that she was within a second of Romain Grosjean's times:

It's funny because neither should be anywhere near a Formula One car.

Plenty of people on this forum could get within 12 seconds of a leading time in a simulator given some time to get familiar with it. Assuming they are using GP tracks, and not the Nordschleife.

I honestly think Carmen is just there as a pretty face, and to represent women in sport. I don't like saying that, but it seems to be true. Pastor was money, Carmen is the face, Grosjean was... decent actually towards his final season with them. Now, if they gave Carmen an opportunity to show how quick she is (or is not) then we'd get a better idea of why she is there.

...My new hero:

Mr Garcia says he was bullied due to his family's politics, and was sent to the water company to be out of the way. He found there was no work to do there.

People close to him told the Spanish newspaper El Mundo that he was reluctant to report it as he had a family to provide for, and worried that at his age he would not get another job.

They said he did go to the office, although not for full business hours every day, and that he dedicated himself to reading philosophy.

It's a shame if he really was bullied.
