In a rare event, the Aurora Borealis has been viewed over the entirety of Britain over the last two days. A passenger plane travelling from Iceland to Manchester made a detour off the Faroe Islands to allow its passengers to view the Northern Lights.

Liz Truss, the shortest-serving British PM in history (6th September 2022 - 25th October 2022), has sent out a warning to current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak over China. Truss is spot on again. Shame she was undemocratically ousted by Sunak and his WEF mob...

The 2020s are great, aren't they? Well, maybe not. But at least we've not quite yet reached the lowest point in human history. By the way, are the Chinese responsible for the recent viral outbreak or is it the Americans? Look on the bright side, though: it's Pancake Tuesday tomorrow...

British children's author and WWII RAF veteran Roald Dahl (1916-1990), famous for many great childhood memories such as "The Twits", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "James and the Giant Peach", "Matilda" and "The BFG", probably the world's greatest ever children's writer, is yet another of...

On the left is my now famous (on this thread) little sister Erin, or "Arron" as I used to call her. On the right is our cousin Amanda. Just thought I would put it out there now we're talking about Erins.

That maybe the case, even though Arron is Hebrew and Erin is Irish. As a kid I used to call Erin "Arron", and my parents used to say "She's called Erin, not Arron! Arron is a boy's name!". I also used to call my brother Craig "Kiggy", for some weird reason.

My sister is called Erin. "Erin" sort of means "Ireland" in Irish in the dative case. Whilst the dative case is prevalent in Britain and Ireland's Celtic languages and other European languages there isn't a dative case in English. An approximate translation of the Irish dative case "Erin" in...

GB News: Royal Historian and Broadcaser Rafe Heydel-Mankoo discusses the impact South Park's brutal takedown of Harry & Meghan will have on them -- and how the world perceives them.

I had the Simon Howie haggis. You can either slice it and fry it, keep it in its casing and place it in an oven dish with boiling water and cook it in the oven, or remove the casing and metal clips and cook it in the microwave. I've had it a few times and it's delicious. Haggis is even nicer...

"Is there a very good kebab restaurant?" - The King visits donation centre for Turkey earthquake victims The King met volunteers from the UK's Turkish community sending aid to their homeland, and expressed how "deeply sorry" he was following the devastating earthquake. The monarch visited a...

Don't tell any proud Scot that the kilt and the haggis were invented in Lancashire, England. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Rawlinson_(industrialist) I love haggis, by the way. I had one the other night. If you've never had one, I suggest you do. It's delicious.

Her predecessor was Salmond. Unfortunately, there's no fishy candidate in the running this time around. The frontrunners to replace Sturgeon are Angus Robertson, Kate Forbes, Humza Yousaf and John Swinney, so Scotland may soon have its first Muslim leader.

The Koh-i-Noor is in the Queen Mother's Crown. It was given to the British after they annexed East Punjab in 1849 during the reign of the then 11-year-old Maharaja of the Sikh Empire Dileep Sikh. It belongs to the British. The Queen should have been crowned with that diamond. This woke nonsense...

Camilla, the Queen Consort, will not wear a crown featuring the controversial Koh-i-Noor, Buckingham Palace has said. Instead, she will be crowned with Queen Mary's Crown, which has been taken out of the Tower of London to be resized for the 6th May Coronation. It is thought to be the first...
