Even stranger:
"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo"
is actually a valid English sentence, because "buffalo" can be either a noun, and adjective, or a verb depending on the context.

That’s clever, I’ve not seen that before. I got halfway through the wiki article and gave up when it started talking about restrictive and reduced relative clauses.
Haha..same here.
Got the gist of it at the beginning, then gave up.
Aye, difficult one to get over. Mentally and literally!First time I’ve seen this… blazed over the bar

Never heard of it:
Half of players using snus would like to stop - study
Almost one in five male professional players who took part in a new survey are using snus, nicotine pouches or both - and nearly half would like to stop using snus within 12 months.
The study by Loughborough University, commissioned by the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA), also identified that two out of five players had tried the pouches at least once.
The report suggests the actual usage figures are "likely" to be higher because players may not want to disclose they use snus even in an anonymous survey, which was the first research on its specific use in football....

Why do footballers use snus?
Of the 45 men and 11 women that perceived a performance benefit from using snus, 29% and 55% respectively cited improved mental readiness as the key benefit.
Of the 84 men and 11 women who replied as to whether they had experienced certain effects, 56% and 36% respectively said snus had helped them relax.
It is used most commonly after training and after matches, with one of the performance and medical staff saying players used snus as a "coping mechanism".
The survey found the pouches are also used as an appetite suppressant, and that users often started using the products in a bid to fit in with other often more senior team-mates. For male players, 56% gave this as a reason, rising to 73% among women....

Hands up all those who have spent the past 2 days in James Cook Cardiac unit after a heart attack and stent being fitted.
Thank you to the brilliant NHS staff.

All the best mate.
go canny and take the advice mate...some bleeze through it and others take longer, out of interest, who was your doctor? andrew turley and his team sorted my defib-thumpy thing out.
(there was another doctor, had a right go at me like it was my 'fault' that i needed the defib, on the morning of getting it fitted he came into the ward and had an almighty go at this poor old feller...i walked out 10 minutes later)
Couldn't tell you mate, saw so many doctors, one had a right go that I hadn't gone in straight away, but the others where straight in.
Stent was done at 4pm yesterday and according to my notes there is some damage but only a small bit permanent and it should improve if I follow the rules and keep taking the tablets.
Weird feeling having a stent put in, can feel it under your skin amd when they inflated the balloon it felt like a firework going off in my chest as the blood started to flow properly
i was out of it when the stent went in (or as much as i remember) doctor did say they had a couple more scares when i was in the lab, i was taken to sunderland as i would not have lasted till newcastle, james cook was just for the defib but apart from that one (linnet?) everyone else from the tea lady to the top man were excellent.
They put the stent in through your wrist? That stung a fair bit
Just goes to show that nobody knows what someone is going through mate. Hope you recover well
You've been back, what, 2 years, and your Health goes to ****...
Have you been sampling the local takeaway too often
All joking apart, pleased to hear that you are making a good recovery
Look after yourself
Hope I've got the right poster
