Who here haven't had a burning passion in their loins for Jason Donovan? The neighbour just got lucky.

He did make a very good Frank N Furter in Rocky Horror, and one of his song lines is "A hot groin"...
 
As far as I know, this disease has also been found in Canada, though I'm not sure what areas.

There is a concern that it may cross species to humans as mad cow/Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease did.

“An EU study determined that "87% of cases [of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease] were sporadic, 8% genetic, 5% iatrogenic and less than 1% variant."

It is thought that humans can contract the disease by consuming material from animals infected with the bovine form of the disease.”

Dogs in tutus delay Norwegian Air flight.

There is a lot that is strange about this story.
A number of emotional support dogs were travelling in passengers' hand luggage on a Norwegian Air flight destined for Austin, Texas.

The Boeing 787 had been due to depart at 11:00 BST but was delayed by an hour and a half.

A spokesman for Norwegian Air said the captain decided to offload the "distressed" dogs and their owners.

"I Own a Haunted Pub" - Guardian (UK) - Life & Style - 25th October 2019

In 2005, when my wife Sharon and I saw the Skirrid Inn in Monmouthshire was looking for new owners, we didn’t think twice. We had been running a pub in Hertfordshire and looking for an opportunity to return to our Welsh roots; the Skirrid offered that. With its reputation for paranormal activity, it couldn’t have been more different from the beautiful thatched pub we were leaving; but I love places full of history and intrigue.
