:)) 👍🏻

Are the cops after him to lay arson charges or to ensure he's properly burnt to death?

A search party struggled to find the body but eventually found a human skull and a pair of trousers on Thursday.
Looks like the vultures and ants cleaned up the lion table scraps. Nothing goes to waste in Nature.

Could be the poacher's pants was utilised by the ants as a nest cover of sorts. I've seen 'em do that.

A woman at the property, who identified herself as Mr Hajos' partner, told the newspaper he had been "doing what he loved".
Oh...well that makes it alright then.

But maybe at the time he was being killed dead by an overgrown chook it was something he hated?

Extremely sad, but one girl.died as a result:
Milena and her best friend, Amelia Hustwick, had gone to the crossing late at night to chat because it was 'a nice place to hang out', Central London County Court heard.

They sat between the train tracks, 'laughing and giggling' because they thought trains did not run at night.

If you read on you will note that the trains don't sound a horn after 11pm. 11pm, what did they imagine their daughters aged 16 were doing out after 11pm?

A few years ago, quite late, we came off the main road in our village to see a number of boys, probably under 10, lying in the road. Fortunately we weren't travelling fast and they scampered out of the way.

Tragic as it is, why do the parents feel the need for financial compensation? Damages as compensation for funeral expenses, yes, but in this case £22,124 seems an odd sum.

Er. ....so she never reads a newspaper, watches TV or listens to the radio which all regularly broadcast the latest guidelines from Public Health England and the latest research results released? @-) Even with limited Internet I can't avoid the latest blah about how many units a week you can or can't drink a week, and whether red wine is or isn't good for your heart etc etc. 8-|

Also, surely the current warnings similar to those used on tobacco products are sufficient? Next thing we'll be getting people wanting the safe limit of cigarettes a week printed on cigarette packets. ;)))
