Sly fox steals golfer's wallet
Is there a better pick-pocket in the animal kingdom than the cunning fox?
An amateur golfer in Ireland found out the answer to that question nearly a moment too late when a sly fox brazenly stole his wallet from right underneath his nose.
The golfer, along with his playing partners, stopped mid-round at the County Louth Golf Club in Baltray to film the curious mammal when it approached the group.
However, curiosity soon turned to daylight robbery when the fox rummaged through one of the player's bags, found his wallet and took off for its den.
"That's me wallet," the man cried as he gave chase, forcing the daring creature to drop its booty and give its pursuer a wide berth.
The encounter makes one think that the famous English writer Roald Dahl created the titular character of his book the 'Fantastic Mr Fox' after playing a round in Ireland.

...Some of the stuff he listed, makes it sound like he got it easy there. Dude, someone tell him to spend some time in a South American prison; he'll beg to go back to Skien...
I mean, he's complaining

When NERC asked the internet to name their new ship, they probably didn't expect Boaty McBoatFace to be the frontrunner...

Turns out there's a South West Trains employee that reads the news, hence why the Portsmouth to Waterloo service this morning was named Trainy McTrainface.

It was never a popularity contest - they said they'd pick the names from the public suggestions but not according to public vote, as they were already acutely aware of the results of doing things like that.
I nominated the RSS Sir Terry Pratchett.
