I'd rather a badger than ask people what historical figures should go on the notes, we'd end up going back to white fivers with Enoch Powell on them

I love the way they make out having famous people on our banknotes is something going back to the Doomsday Book, rather than 1970.

Women's brains change during pregnancy. The study lead said the changes are like caring for a tree, pruning branches to make others more efficient. It's also like it because you don't expect so much poo to be involved.

Women's brains change in pregnancy. The grey matter, the part of the brain involved in processing information and emotions, decreases by an average of nearly 5% during pregnancy. Of course, the grey has to go somewhere, explaining mothers with toddlers end up dying their hair

The Pentagon has said the US Military will shoot anything that shoots at them. After accidently bringing down three jets in a friendly fire incident, the military in Kuwait are feeling nervous.
