The meteorite continued on before ending its billion-year intergalactic journey on the pavement, leaving a smoking foot-wide crater. Gerrit was left with a three-inch long scar on his hand, making him one of only a handful of peop…

You bird brain! Woody Woodpecker gets a beakful of concrete after hammering on 'urban' tree By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 8:26 AM on 12th June 2009 Comments (0) Add to My Stories Talk about barking up the wrong tree.

According to the French it was when in reality the British organised the operation and had many many troops fighting that day to liberate the French who couldn't stand on their own two feet even though they had the biggest army in the world and failed. And yet this is the thanks Britain got. Still at least britain beat the French in winning the Olympics for 2012.... Rugby World Cup 2003 and 2007, France lost to England in the semis..... Scotland beat France twice in the Euro qualifiers. Only kidding... France is a great country.

Five days ago we were flocking to the beach, queueing for ice-creams and slathering on the sunscreen. Yesterday, we were shivering in summer's first dusting of snow. Yes, snow. After the hottest spell of the year so far, sleet and snow swept in across northern parts of Britain while the rest of the country also cooled down considerably. The Cairngorms in Scotland were the chilliest, with temperatures falling to zero while the Pennines and Cumbrian fells managed a mere 3c (37f). Even by British summer standards, that is a remarkable weather turnaround. In the Cairngorms, two inches of snow meant visitors were able to build a rather surprised- looking summ…
