This is just a picture I took whilst on holiday in Italy last week, this little fella, well I think its male, was buzzing around for ages before it settled on one of the plants on the hotel roof garden. I took quite a few pictures and it actually turned round so that I could take various pictures, posing little git. I think it's a dragonfly but if anyone knows different then correct me, oh, no fancy camera, just my Microsoft Lumia phone camera, not bad.

A seven-year-old boy was at the centre of a Northumbrian courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him.

After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to Hull City whom the boy firmly believes are incapable of beating anyone.
But Ehab will make sure he's shafted
 
I never did get my dream job as a sound technician, but I'm not one to one to one to complain.

I was out fishing yesterday when I heard a soft voice saying "Kiss me, then I will turn into your faithful mistress"

I looked down and saw a little frog, I said "Was that you speaking"?

The little frog said "Yes, kiss me and I will turn into your faithful mistress"

So I picked the little frog up and placed it in an empty bait box. When I got home, the missus was out, so I opened the bait box and the little frog said

"Are you going to kiss me now so I can turn into your faithful mistress"?

I said "Nah, at my age I'd rather have a talking frog"
