NASA has just released images of a black hole located in a distant galaxy. It measures 40 billion km across - three million times the size of the Earth - and has been described by scientists as "a...
Over Christmas I parked my car at Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 Valet parking. This is where you leave the car at the short stay and a driver then takes it away to a secure car park. When you return the...

Fine if you agree. Fine if you don't....
I don't want to pop my clogs and miss out on obituaries. So to give me a flavour of what will be written, any chance of letting me know now what will be said? So come on, the nice ones, the horrible...
Does anyone here feel sad that the Catholic church is still in thrall to superstition? Apparently Cardinal Newman is close to beatification following an alleged miracle that he performed. He may even...
70AD and Ksrael was destroyed as prophecied. Then as prophecied, the Jews, were gathered together and the modern state of Israel was born. That's what the Bible said, that's what happened. So is that...
