    Cape Wrangell is so far west, it actually crosses the 180th meridian into the Eastern Hemisphere. So technically, Alaska is also the easternmost point in the US.

    Here are two amazing facts from this season's National League South...

    Torquay United clinched the Championship last week, their first Championship of any kind since turning professional in 1927...

    Bottom placed Weston-Super-Mare have been relegated for the first time ever in their 132 year history...

    No surprise there. The ones in my front garden are in full bloom at present. Apparently our native bluebell is being swamped by an aggressive Spanish variant, I blame the bloody EU...

    There is only one type of dinosaur left in the world.

    It is a neutral gender dinosaur, not that there's anything wrong with that.

    The scientific name is a Megasauraus, pronounced ( Mega-sore-ass ).

    They can be found in areas such as Millwall, Chelsea and alike, just to name a few.
