Magna Carta 'copy' miscatalogued in 1940s found to be original

Quote:
An issue of the Magna Carta, which was wrongly catalogued as a copy in the 1940s, has been identified as original.

Harvard Law School Library bought what it thought was a stained and faded copy of the document from London book dealers Sweet & Maxwell in 1946 for 27 dollars and 50 cents.

The book dealers had acquired it at a Sotheby's auction a month earlier from a First World War pilot for £42. It was wrongly dated as being made in 1327 under King Edward III.

But two researchers have now found that the "copy" is a rare original from 1300 issued by King Edward I and is worth millions of dollars, although Harvard does not intend to sell it.

Seriously deep sleeper not woken up by ship crashing in his garden

A cargo ship has crashed into a man's front garden in Norway, missing his home, where he was sleeping, by just a few metres.

Johan Helberg had been sound asleep when a 135m long container ship ran aground Thursday morning in the Trondheimsfjord off Byneset in Trondheim.

No injuries or oil spills have been reported, and authorities plan to remove the ship at high tide.

Forty-seven hurt including four children by driver who smashed into Liverpool parade after leaving a BAR: Footage shows white British suspect's car being attacked before 30mph rampage

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...hy-parade.html

That headline sounds like it was written by a politician to head off any Terrorism links, if only they would do the same for these Migrant scum eh, but that's not going to happen is it?. What really should happen though is a monthly crime report from every constituency, whether that be a pensioners knickers being stolen off the washing line to rapes and murders. That would show everyone at a glance which police force is sat on their asses and which one's don't even bother to investigate anything.

I class every person a non British subject if their ancestors weren't born here, and that goes the same for my favourite doctor who is Taiwanese, just because you want to rip her panties off doesn't make her a British citizen now does it.

There'll be more updates on this event over the next few days, but the overriding factor in the news reports will be White and No Terrorism links, the Real British Voters are so bleeding gullible I could smack them all with a baseball bat.

An important story about the things that really matter in life. A brave woman telling it like it is...doesn't mince words

Our council sucks bigtime, corruption, nepotism, minority ( usual suspects ) rule. Basically a dictatorship for 30 or more ( pun ) years.

Go Lady Chu .....just down the road from my place.

Cheese-loving daredevils hurl themselves down Cooper's Hill in Gloucestershire for famous race

Quote:
Dairy-loving daredevils from around the world have descended on Gloucestershire and thrown themselves down Cooper's Hill in the annual cheese-rolling race.

Competitors ran, slid and tumbled down the near-vertical incline in an effort to try and win an 8lb wheel of Double Gloucester - a semi-hard cheese renowned for its strong and savoury flavour.

They were cheered on by thousands of spectators during the notoriously dangerous race - made tougher this year with a harder racetrack due to the recent dry weather.

Several races took place this year, with German YouTuber Tom Kopke winning the first men's downhill race.

"It was crazy. This year was different," said the 23-year-old from Munich after retaining the title he won last year.

"Last year the hill was muddy and this year it was dry and dangerous and people got injured.

"I shut off my brain and went for it.

"All the people at the top said they were going to steal my title but this is mine.

"I worked for this. I risked my life for this. It's my cheese. Back to back."
