Bo and Luke renounce their titles due to a series of allegations, which they both strenuously deny and the fact they paid off Boss Hogg in no way implies guilt.

I would simply accept that this is what was always meant to happen and go with it, especially if purring is taking place. Can't move a purring cat.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

How is York coping without a Duke and Duchess? Will people in York be ok? Are the jobs advertised locally or will they go again to outsiders?

Peafowl are some of the largest birds that can fly.

In fact, the chicks have all of their feathers when they emerge and are capable of flight roughly one week after hatching.

They are also known for their aggressive disposition, so we'd be careful with the insults.

In response to a video of peacocks flying, one user quote tweets "THESE IDIOTS CAN FLY???"

You thought we hired Jack Wilshere to manage the team. No, we just needed someone to hold the ceiling up until we move to Power Court. Thanks, Jack. Thack.

If it *was* true, I'd be asking serious questions about how Luton got relegated last season because if Nick Berry's to be believed we did everything right.

I know the BBC don't want to admit it, but RTD and Bad Wolf made a complete mess of their second stint. There were *some* really good episodes, but you can't cram a 13 episode season arc into 8 and expect to get away with it, especially with a writer who can't do season finales to save his life.

I've just read the article because clearly I hate myself, and I started with a muttered "oh, get lost" at the very first sentence and advanced to a full-throated "F*** OFF" at the end.

I remember Rowntrees fought against it tooth and nail, and when it went through that was the first takeover in my lifetime that I thought the villains had won. *sigh* I hate it when I'm right.
