Baguette throw.

The question was: which could you throw further: a baguette, or a naan?

Science demands an answer.

I've owned this old, beat-up Callaway Big Bertha golf club for months. Only today did I get around to doing what I actually meant to do with it when I bought it.

Only about 7 days until Clacton is given the chance to make the funniest thing in politics anywhere happen. (Well, this USA American thinks it'd be funny.)

Man in my 50s here. Have started telling the important people in my life that I love them every time I see them. The embaressment, especially with the men, might shave a year or two off my life but I'm not stopping now. If I drop dead tomorrow they'll at least know how I felt.
