SPECIAL MENTION: For this whole badass team from Queen Mary University! Great to see four women ruling and even though they didn’t win they held their own against their opponents. Lynes has great hair, Howard-Smith is totally rocking cute geek Velma vibes, Williams is leading the glory and Lovelady is bringing a great surname (and they’re all bringing intelligence and hilariously niche PhDs etc, of course). What’s not to love? We salute you ladies, have fun studying sphincters!
cool idea: bait all the anglophiles at your school into attending a ‘british culture’ club with relevant shitty fandom posters
when they get there, lock them in the room with tea, crumpets, finger sandwiches and 8 hours worth of documentaries on the horrors of british imperialism. don’t allow them to leave until they have watched every single one.
a welsh tradition I think needs to come back is guys spending ages carving a spoon with all these designs and shit on it and giving it to the girl he wants to date how cute is that

after an apparent attack by a fox, a street cat named bob was found injured and curled up in the hallway outside of a support housing flat in tottenham were james bowen, a recovering heroin addict and homeless busker, was staying. james took the cat in, got him to the rspca, and nursed him back to health using what little drug money he had for antibiotics.
but in the process, bob helped to nurse james back to health as well, giving him a reason to get up in the morning and get clean. since his recovery, bob has refused to leave james side, following him everywhere for the last six years.
thanks to a literary agent who passed him on the streets, james has since written an international bestselling book about his hardships and friendship with bob. “we’re two injured souls looking for someone we can trust,” james says. done in collaboration with the writer garry jenkins from an islington café, the book also attempts to dispel some of the social stigma that goes with homelessness.

Alright, let’s see if this works. My first attempt at doing an animation. Let’s call this the rough draft, I think I might re-visit it once I’m more confident but not bad considering I had no idea what I was doing XD
Iceland grieves after police kill a man for the first time in its history December 5, 2013
It was an unprecedented headline in Iceland this week — a man shot to death by police.
"The nation was in shock. This does not happen in our country," said Thora Arnorsdottir, news editor at RUV, the Icelandic National Broadcasting Service.
She was referring to a 59-year old man who was shot by police on Monday. The man, who started shooting at police when they entered his building, had a history of mental illness.
It’s the first time someone has been killed by armed police in Iceland since it became an independent republic in 1944. Police don’t even carry weapons, usually. Violent crime in Iceland is almost non-existent.
"The nation does not want its police force to carry weapons because it’s dangerous, it’s threatening," Arnorsdottir says. "It’s a part of the culture. Guns are used to go hunting as a sport, but you never see a gun."
In fact, Iceland isn’t anti-gun. In terms of per-capita gun ownership, Iceland ranks 15th in the world. Still, this incident was so rare that neighbors of the man shot were comparing the shooting to a scene from an American film.
The Icelandic police department said officers involved will go through grief counseling. And the police department has already apologized to the family of the man who died — though not necessarily because they did anything wrong.
"I think it’s respectful," Arnorsdottir says, “because no one wants to take another person’s life. “
There are still a number of questions to be answered, including why police didn’t first try to negotiate with man before entering his building.
"A part of the great thing of living in this country is that you can enter parliament and the only thing they ask you to do is to turn off your cellphone, so you don’t disturb the parliamentarians while they’re talking. We do not have armed guards following our prime minister or president. That’s a part of the great thing of living in a peaceful society. We do not want to change that. "

it sounds about right

What Shakespeare really sounded like – linguists reconstruct a 400-year-old accent to remarkable results. For some Shakespearean reimaginings of a completely different nature, see Hamlet as a choose-your-own-adventure novel and if Shakespeare had written Star Wars.

I’ve seen this before and I can’t get enough of it. 400 year old English is so fascinating!
Wow, they’re right, just in the opening sentence the way they pronounce “theater” is so funny—
wait wait that’s just british
But no, this is gorgeous, I wish I could watch a whole play like this. Maybe with subtitles/a script though, it’s easy to miss stuff with the accent.

9 Months after Italy won the world cup they had their highest birth rate in years. When England won the world cup there was an electricity spike as people across the country heated up their kettles to make some tea. Here in the UK we know how to celebrate.
