Crooked House: Owners of wonky pub ordered to rebuild

Good news. The start of the piece:

“The owners of The Crooked House pub have been ordered to rebuild “Britain’s wonkiest inn” after it was destroyed last year in a suspected arson attack.

South Staffordshire Council has served an enforcement notice on the owners of the pub in Himley, near Dudley.

The council said it had engaged with the owners since the demolition but had reached a point where formal action was considered necessary.

It requires the building to be built back to what it was prior to the fire.”

At last, a building project that female builders can secure and complete on the basis of merit.

More women may be psychopaths than previously thought, says expert

Our thanks to Nigel for this piece – in The Guardian! It starts with this:

“When it comes to a typical psychopath, the suited and booted Patrick Bateman from the novel American Psycho might spring to mind, but, according to one expert, the number of women with the neuropsychiatric disorder could be far greater than previously thought.

Psychopaths are generally considered to lack empathy and guilt, exhibit antisocial behaviour, lie frequently and be ruthless, narcissistic and manipulative.”

BBC should be proud to be progressive, director general Tim Davie told staff

A piece in yesterday’s Telegraph. Hilariously, a BBC spokesman said “progressive” was meant “in relation to areas like market-led technological change” and that “any other interpretation is wrong”.
