Ireland reliably one of england's most idiosyncratic counties

I know even the faintest whiff of northern sentimentality can cause ilxor noses to wrinkle but some of you might like this. I also see mike leigh has put a call out for 'authentic northern faces' for his peterloo film

This is doing the rounds on Twitter at the moment, from a listing on Rightmove and oh dear.

"motivated seller"

on the plus side, i imagine that's knocked a chunk of the asking price

I once lived in an upstairs flat above a known sex-offender. The local hoodlums used to kick their football against his door and someone daubed "sex-case" on it. I'm sure glad they knew the side door belongs to the upstairs flat!

Rightmove have now removed the photo from the original listing, as if it hadn't occurred to anyone first time round that it might be a little offputting to prospective buyers.

This one had me at the dog's name.

amazing

The court heard he has no connection to the Church of England and regularly travels to Moldova.

There is little on earth more suspicious than a 63-year-old fake priest who regularly travels to Moldova.

Fucking Thanet.

Forbidden Thanet!

not traditional real england fodder but i'm still haunted by this story from time to time.

In his suicide note, Mr McRae wrote: "I believe I was not an evil man until the balance of my mind was disturbed by the fact that there is a patch of Japanese knotweed which has been growing over our boundary fence on the Rowley Regis Golf Course.

It's like something out of one of Roald Dahl's uncanny stories. I keep thinking about the time he first spotted the knotweed, crouching down to get a better look and tugging at it in an initially puzzled fashion.

Damn son.

inventive excuse for murdering somebody

why go into all that when you're going to off yourself anyway though?

well now i'm gonna be haunted by that now too, fucking hell

it's like the start of a junji ito story

or an emo ji story

You can spray, or inject, herbicides into its stem, but this takes six months so you'll have to be patient. And rich, too - this can cost £1,500 for just a small patch of the weed
It has really a wide-ranging root system, which can extend up to 3m in depth and 7m in all directions. These can pose a serious threat to construction works and have devastating consequences to building foundations and drains.
If you are found to be failing to stop the spread of the plant, you can be issued with an Antisocial Behaviour Order - yes, an ASBO. Under these orders, you could be fined up to £2,500.

Japanese Knotweed doesn't fuck about!

true but that said i'm p sure there is not one documented case of it actually wrecking a foundation

When people are charging £1500 to kill a small patch of weed, it is probably a handy myth. If I'd have got obsessed with it I would have just dug like fuck with a pickax + shovel until every last root was gone. I don't really buy this guy's suicide note and explanation for murder.
