I've covered my table & computer in coffee and donut thanks to the lines:

• "The parents said Fr McVeigh quickly removed the memory stick"
• "Parents said 16 indecent images of men were displayed"

:icon_lol:

The priest at the centre of a stand-off over the accidental showing of pornographic images at a presentation to parents in a Co Tyrone primary school is to leave the area.

However an additional laptop, which was located in the sacristy, was stolen in the period following the March 26 meeting with parents. This stolen laptop did not form part of the technical examination and its theft was reported to the PSNI

Hmmmmmm I wonder

Putting the bite on delivering leaflets

Labour campaigner Michael Nicholson, aged 82, who has been out canvassing for the last 40 years, was attacked at an address near Manor Top.

Wife Viv said her husband, from Granville Road, broke a ‘cardinal rule’, that you should not put your fingers through letter boxes.

Mrs Nicholson said: “The dog got two of his outer finger. He found it hard to get his hand out of the letter box.”

China's Bright Food has bought a controlling stake in Weetabix, which owns the breakfast cereal brand as well as Alpen and Ready Brek.

Bright Food will take a 60% stake in Weetabix in a deal that values the company at £1.2bn.

The Northamptonshire-based firm was family-owned until 2004, when it was bought by Lion Capital.

Weetabix says its trademark breakfast cereal accounts for 7% of UK cereal sales, with annual sales of £101m.

Bright Food chairman Zongnan Wang said: "With Bright Food's strong resources and our expertise in both the Chinese and broader international markets, we are excellently placed to develop the Weetabix business."

The deal is the largest done by a Chinese company in the food and drink businesses.

In 2011, Bright Food had revenues of $12.2bn.

They're really going hard after the male vote

Apparently when it was played on Mexican TV they speeded the film up and put the Benny Hill theme tune on while the politicians chased her around the studio.
