Things That Make You Go... WTF?

I'm sure that would be illegal and that the captain should have refused to depart.

£1,300 Menorca to Birmingham? How many of them were there? (sorry, didn't really read the story)

The seat behind them in the photo was empty....

Maybe 'WTF' in this case means "Who'd They Fit?" ...

'Asymmetric Jeans' turning heads online
A Ukrainian fashion designer's latest jeans are going viral not for their $377 price tag but for their bizarre asymmetrical design.

Designer Ksenia Schnaider took to Instagram to unveil the "Asymmetric Jeans," which feature one fitted leg and one flared leg.

Schnaider said the jeans, which have sparked a wide range of responses online, will soon be offered for $377 on her web site.

"I was told the idea was too crazy and that nobody needs jeans like this, so I gave up on the idea for a couple of seasons, but in the end I decided to go for it" ...

Obviously not, I'd argue, looking at which leg is which.

Obviously not, I'd argue, looking at which leg is which.

At $377 per pair, the designer should offer them in either of two optional configurations (flare-on-right; flare-on-left).

Because he wants to! That may well be his final turn at the wheel though. I knew of a guy who drove until he was 100, died at 106.

Trawling through the needlecrafts section on ebay.

I don't expect to like everything.

But... who is this aimed at???? It's a quilt pattern.

Silly me of course it is.

I couldn't swear all of the Blues Brothers was filmed in Chicago but that bridge they drove under is definitely Chicago. I think that same bridge might have also been featured in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

I was watching the documentary on BBC Four about Orson Welles, and Mark Cousins (the director) filmed some of it in Chicago, Welles' old haunt. During that bit, I thought, what's the raised railway system from The French Connection in New York doing in the Windy City? Then I twigged they had one in both cities. It'll be on iPlayer if you want to check it out, around 20 minutes in I think.

Mind blown. I didn't realise there was two of them in different cities.

Liverpool had an overhead railway along the docks until the 1950s.

Wikipedia reminds us that it also had something of a film career!

You can sit inside this carriage in Liverpool Museum. It doesn't move, alas, though I think there are sound-effects!

‘I’ve just had some Botox done down Superdrug.’
‘Are you mad?’
‘Funny, that was the first thing they said.’

Mental Health: Tougher checks before Superdrug Botox

High street retailer Superdrug is to introduce tougher mental health checks before performing cosmetic procedures, following criticism by the NHS.
Prof Stephen Powis, the medical director of NHS England, said the injections risked fuelling mental health disorders - and the health service was left to pick up the pieces.
Superdrug started offering Botox and dermal fillers last year.
The retailer said it was "fully committed" to the issue.
