UK : East : Daniel of Beccles this is a real book about how to behave in a civilised manner during the middle ages...
i.e don't pick your nose
also there were rules on what pets/livestock you could let in the hall
Bestia brutalis non impresepiat aula, Nec porcus, nec murilegus videatur in illa,
Esse queunt in ea dextrarius et palefridus,
Addictique canes lepori, catulique molossi;
Aucupitres, nisi, falcones et mereelle.
Let not a brute beast be stabled in the hall, let not a pig
or a cat be seen in it; the animals which can be seen in it
are the charger and the palfrey, hounds entered to hare,
mastiff pups, hawks, sparrow-hawks, falcons and merlins.
(2206-10)
TBH this seems rather unfair (it even looks like the pig and cat think so!), plus keeping the horse indoors will surely leave the household with a somewhat messy hallway?

UK : East : Rocco the Raccoon goes on the run..
Quote:
Raccoons are a common sight across North America but not what you would expect to see roaming around the Norfolk countryside.
But yesterday one of the cheeky little creatures was spotted going on a mini-adventure around Stoke Holy Cross.
fair play to the people who took it in and got it back to its home!

UK : East : This little piggy went to school.. I think the school missed a big opportunity. They should have enrolled the piglet for GCSEs - theyd probably find it did better than some of the pupils and the school goes upin the league tables :laugh_at:
A school's Ofsted inspection almost turned into a pig's ear when students smuggled in a live piglet as a prank.
The incident involved three teenaged pupils from Old Buckenham High School, near Attleborough, who decided to celebrate their 'last day at school' by letting the piglet loose in the playground, on Thursday .
But the school took a dim view of the caper, and the young culprits are now the focus of an investigation involving the police and the RSPCA officials.
Patrick Knight, the school's assistant head teacher, said the piglet was looked after by a member of staff who has a stable where the young animal was taken, after it had been rounded up and captured.
“It was in the middle of an Ofsted inspection. In terms of the people who allegedly did the deed, we removed them off the site. We did involve the police, and the community policeman came round,” he explained.

UK : East : Norfolk’s scientists identify Python’s dead parrot It's a barmy blue-feathered bird that found fame in an iconic comedy sketch - for being dead.
Or rather demised, passed on, resting, ceased to be, stiff, bereft of life…an ex-parrot.
But a Norfolk fossil expert has found that Monty Python's funny, fictional and unfortunate Norwegian Blue may have really existed.

MY : Time to call 999… or maybe for the boatyard to get picked up, or just for a plumber..
seems to be completely calm as well...
(and there are usually snakes and crocodiles in the water!)
what happens when you read the local paper with a hangover.. there was some advert for the cats and dogs home in felixstowe, its sponsored by various local businesses - now I would have thought the logical thing to do would be to put the pics of kitties up top, and the ads below them
but they were all mixed up...
and one ad was for a baby clothes place - they had a picture of a small toddler about the same size as all the cats and in the same position..
my first thought was.. "surely that can't be legal? bad enough people take on pets and look after them, are they now turning their kids in at the blue cross?"
and even if it is (you never know with the Tory council here always wanting to save money on social services) , thats got to be the wrong section" :laugh_at:
Penis Panic A penis panic is a mass hysteria event or panic in which males in a population suddenly believe they are suffering from genital retraction syndrome.
Penis panics have occurred around the world, most notably in Africa and Asia. Local beliefs in many instances assert that such syndromes are often fatal.
In cases where the fear of the penis being retracted is secondary to other conditions, psychological diagnosis and treatments are under development. It is becoming increasingly clear that these forms of mass hysteria are more common than previously thought.
