When nothing else exciting is happening, all we hear is Rishi and the Tory party and nothing else?

After all it’s just a normal boring Tuesday in March.

Roll up, roll up, more than enough Easter eggs to go round here (but a bit of a trek for most forum members).


An order blunder by a shop on the Orkney island of Sanday has left it with hundreds of Easter eggs - far more than the population.

Only 80 were needed, but 80 cases were mistakenly ordered by Sinclair General Stores.

Former President Donald Trump warned Tuesday in an interview with British television that if he is elected in November, Prince Harry may face deportation from the US if he is found to have lied about his drug use on his visa paperwork.

The Duke of Sussex’s immigration status has become the subject of a legal battle after Harry admitted to taking illegal drugs in his memoir, “Spare,” which was released last year.

GB News presenter Nigel Farage asked Trump, 77, whether Harry, 39, should have “special privileges” if he is discovered to have lied on his application for a US visa.

“No,” Trump answered. “We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied, they’ll have to take appropriate action.”

Some bears seen swanning around:


"Hold up - do you know how to drive this thing?"
These black bears wasted no time clambering on to a swan pedalo when it appeared in their enclosure at Woburn Safari Park in Bedfordshire.
Keeper Tommy Babbington added the quirky paddle boat to keep the animals entertained after a large pool of water formed at the site during the recent wet weather.
"It was great fun for visitors to see them climb on board," he said.
The black bear is the most common bear in the forests of North America - where it is unlikely they are gifted giant plastic watercraft.
They can grow up to 1.9m (6ft 3in) long and weigh up to 300kg (47 stone).

"We love devising new ways to provide food, scent and habitat enrichment that stimulates their natural foraging behaviours," added Mr Babbington.
"There's been so much wet weather this year that a new mini lake has formed in the black bears' drive-through, so we had the idea of turning this into interesting enrichment for them.
"The sleuth of bears was immediately intrigued by their new neighbour and wasted no time in investigating the swan paddle boat."

Sounds like this could have easily featured as one of the adverts which a national chain of opticians used to run along equally bizarre themes!

Just like the Spec Savers advert.
