Other News Items that U may have missed

A chihuahua has been rescued from a building destroyed by fire in Perth after surviving for nearly two weeks in the tenement.

The puppy called Vilo was feared dead in the Scott Street fire which happened on 14 June.

Vilo was later spotted in the window of the tenement building by nearby residents.

After pinpointing her location with thermal imaging, Vilo took food and drink from traps left by demolition workers and was eventually lured out by leaving clothes belonging to her owners on 27 June.
. Well done keen eyed neighbours  :-*

Probably a ploy, I personally couldn't care less about her tears, what I do care about is some pensioners crying because they can't afford heating this winter  >:(

New born babies taken from mothers within hours due to Danish parenting tests for Greenlandic women !  :o :'( [Sat Guardian magazine last week]

Also: The Guardian again: 'Being a wedding guest will cos nearly £3,000 each event this year' ....... I would never consider funding the honeymoon  ;D as part of attending.  I may consider funding the flowers or something smaller as their gift because most couples have everything B4 getting wed..  Nor would I be interested in a wedding abroad nor going to the hen night  :D

 Our whole 'do' 50 years ago cost £300.00 all in.  And we had to be out of the Hotel by 4.00 p.m. - plenty long enough anyway - as they had a dinner dance booked for that evening.  Job done  :-*

Why oh why oh WHY!

An NHS doctor and her husband have been jailed for 10 months each after selling stolen hospital PPE on eBay during the Covid pandemic.

Dr Attiya Sheikh, 46, and 48-year-old Omer Sheikh made almost £8,000 from selling the personal protective equipment as the virus was spreading throughout the UK in 2020.

The pair admitted selling stolen gloves, face masks and wipes online at a time when the NHS was struggling to get hold of them.

Sheriff Sukhwinder Gill said the doctor had committed an "egregious breach of trust" while working at Hairmyres Hospital in East Kilbride.

Hopefully she will be stuck off !

However: 1 would require thick gloves when handling this!

An ice core that may be older than 1.5 million years has arrived in the UK where scientists will melt it to unlock vital information about Earth's climate.

The glassy cylinder is the planet's oldest ice and was drilled from deep inside the Antarctic ice sheet.

Frozen inside is thousands of years of new information that scientists say could "revolutionise" what we know about climate change.

BBC News went inside the -23C freezer room at the British Antarctic Survey in Cambridge to see the precious boxes of ice.





Getting together in company can help both those diagnosed with chronic conditions as well as their families:: Tony Deeney was diagnosed with Parkinson's at just 38 and the degenerative condition gradually left feeling isolated and with little enthusiasm for life.

But after two decades struggling with the condition, he says cycling has helped him rediscover a sense of independence.

It was almost 10 years after his retirement that Tony discovered the benefits of exercise for people with Parkinson's.

"It became a real game-changer for him," Teresa says.

He started playing table tennis as well as "walking football", aimed at Parkinson's suffers.

It was when he tried chair yoga that a friend encouraged him to attend a cycling club.

Was it really up to Chris Martin to call out a couple standing close at his Concert?  He should remember who pays his wages  >:(

A US tech company says its chief executive has quit after he was apparently caught on a big screen at a Coldplay concert embracing a female co-worker, in a clip that went viral.

Astronomer said in a statement: "Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted."

The clip showed a man and a woman hugging on a jumbo screen at the arena in Foxborough, Massachusetts, before they abruptly ducked and hid from the camera.

Was just a fluke,these cameras hone in on anyone,wasn't the man married? Not that it's got anything to do with anyone if he's having an affair.

Now now clkd, I love Coldplay so be careful what you say about Mr Martin  ;D

Who should keep his nose out of what others might be doing! 

Moving on:   The government is preparing a "water revolution" that will halve the number of times sewage is discharged into waterways in England and Wales by 2030, the environment secretary has said.

Steve Reed told the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg that the water sector was "broken" and the regulator, Ofwat, was "clearly failing".

The "reset" would include tougher treatment of water company bosses if their companies were not meeting the required standards, including possible prison sentences.


Why wait until 2030, what's wrong with starting next week!!!! Also get rid of salmon farms because it's cruel to keep a migratory species trapped where they R fed ABs and the uneaten food rots making the sea bed foul.
