Quote from The Sun:

A TIKTOK star with 1.7 million followers has bagged a Guinness World Record for having the world's biggest mouth for a woman.

Samantha Ramsdell, 31, from Connecticut, US, has previously gone viral for her gargantuan gob – with her jaws opening an incredible 2.56 inches when fully agape

Now, she has been recognised for breaking the Guinness record for world’s largest mouth gape of a female.

Samantha, a medical sales representative, told Guinness that she feels “great” now her mouth is being celebrated – while it was once a huge insecurity.

She can nearly fit an apple in her mouth, can fully bite through four-single stacked cheeseburgers, and can fit an entire large sized portion of fries.

She said: “Being 31 and being able to get a record for something that really I was so insecure about, something that I wanted to keep so small, it’s great because now it’s like one of the biggest, best things about me.

“If I had advice for anyone who had a large body part, or something really unique, and they wanted to go for the Guinness World Records title, I would say do it!

Blimey. Gobzilla.

Once I'm in my shorts then I stay in them until the Autumn chill sets in. Mind you yesterday I also wore a hoodie and a beanie hat to go out.

uninhabited island to detain them on

Rockall.

Just been up to B&Q and now have a nice pink hydrangea. I've also bought a couple of geraniums and dahlias to go into the tubs and brighten the patio up. Costs more for bigger plants but it is instant gratification.

Also picked some more pot plant bases and finally a piece of 10x10mm square aluminium tube to repair my sisters table umbrella.

Cold, dull, wet and very windy. Where's our summer gone?

Quote from The Sun:

The Ever Given container ship has finally docked in Rotterdam 129 days after it blocked the Suez Canal.

Tons of rotting food was offloaded from the giant vessel that brought world trade to a standstill.

The 1,312ft Ever Given - which is taller than the Eiffel Tower - was stuffed with £650million of lemons, bamboo and tofu, which has now gone off.

It was also carrying computers, laptops, mobile phones, aircraft parts, sun loungers, Ikea soft furnishings, barbecues and camping equipment which should all have been in stores months ago.

The ship, which has 20,000 containers, finally started moving 108 days after it got wedged in the global thoroughfare in March.

It took six days to free her using a flotilla of tugs and bulldozers and the hold up cost the world's economy an astonishing £7 billion-a-day.

She arrived in the Dutch port of Rotterdam yesterday - four months behind schedule - and next week will sail to the Suffolk port of Felixstowe to unload more containers where goods can finally be distributed to UK shops and customers.

Rotting tofu. Bet that really honks.

As they approached the woods Pooh said "We must be careful, there may be jagulars up in the trees."

"What do they do?" said Piglet

"If you look up they drop on you"

"I'm looking down" said Piglet loudly.

Quote from The Sun:

Prince Harry is ripped to shreds in a hilarious first look at adult cartoon The Prince.

The star-studded cast which sees Orlando Bloom voice the character of Harry, also features Alan Cumming, Games of Thrones star Sophie Turner and Dan Stevens.

Created by Family Guy writer Gary Janetti, a teaser clip of the HBO show sees the Royal looking around Hollywood apartments with his wife Meghan, voiced by Condola Rashad.

Making fun of the lifestyle Harry left behind in the UK, Harry tells Meghan: "This might be the smallest palace I've ever been in."

"Well, it's an apartment," replies Meghan.

To which Harry says: "Yes, an apartment palace, I know that.

"Lots of tiny palaces inside one big palace."

The 12-episode series is available to stream from today (July 29) on HBO Max in the US after being delayed from May following the death of the Duke of Edinburgh.

I'll have to keep my eye out for this appearing through the usual channels.

Quote from The Sun:

The Marble Arch mound has closed just two days after opening as the disastrous attraction was dubbed "the worst in London".

The £2million man-made hill was labelled a "monstrosity" after the reality was very different to what was originally planned.

The artificial hill was built at the top of Park Lane with views over Hyde Park in a bid to attract tourists back to the West End after the coronavirus pandemic left London deserted.

It opened on Monday after being commissioned by Westminster City Council and costs visitors between £4.50 and £8 to climb.

But by Wednesday morning, it had closed to everyone except those who had bought online tickets in advance, The Times reports.

“It is clear that it is not ready,” a council official admitted.

“People who have paid should have the right to go up. But ultimately we know it’s not ready.

As a famous comedian once said: Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

We had a sharp shower first thing but since then has been sunny periods and breezey. Looks like a storm is heading for Horizon's area though.

She’s been a decade under this conservatorship, which surely is very extreme.

Indeed. Most breakdowns are relatively brief. After treatment and mentoring the person is usually able to resume normal life.

Quote from Horizon

If it a shady spot, a hydrangea will really brighten things up over the summer months.

Partial shade under a small tree and also shaded by the house at times.

Quote from Horizon

Or, another Weigela?

Unfortunately I'm severely allergic to it. I was going to take it out several years ago and had cut it all down but it grew back so well it had a stay of execution.

My word you have been busy.

I have a yew in my front garden that needs a good haircut as it's blocking the light into the front room. Fortunately, unlike Leylandii, yew will take a good mullering trim and come back.

I seem to have lost the Weigela shrub next to the front gate. I think it just died of old age or something ate the roots. Still oportunity to put something else in, thinking of a hydrangea as they seem to grow well down here.

Quote from Norra Batty

If I had my way I would build a giant acclimatised dome over the UK. No imports or exports including transport. The other side of the dome would be a no go area and we live like North Sentinel Island cut off from the rest of the world. Anyone that does not want this should be given the opportunity to leave but can never come back.

Logan's Run.

Puzzles pages in the paper today had an interesting general knowledge question: In a standard pack of playing cards what are the queens holding in their hands?

I didn't know that and had to get a pack out and take a look.

Started with light rain first thing but it's been pissing down for an hour or so now and shows no signs of stopping.

Quote from The Sun:

Coronavirus could be spread through FARTING, government ministers have claimed.

Some officials have privately pointed to evidence that the virus can be spread through omitting bodily gasses in confined spaces like bathrooms.

One minister told The Telegraph that they read "credible-looking stuff on it" from other countries around the world.

They claimed there had been evidence of a "genomical-linked tracing connection between two individuals from a [toilet] cubicle in Australia".

Also, there have been some "well-documented cases of diseases spreading through waste pipes during lockdowns in Hong Kong when the U-bend had dried out".

However, government scientists have not confirmed the claim.

So wear an extra mask Borat style and if somebody drops a huge colonophon near you get some distance.

Nice enough now but at 4:30 this morning we had a narrow but violent storm front come through with plenty of thunder and lightning.

The Met office rain radar is showing a load of stuff coming up from France.

I've had rabbit a few times. My gran used to do rabbit stew and it was delicious.
