Isn’t giving children pointless rules to rebel against part of that preparation for adult life? Learning to kick against the pricks - and the consequences of getting it wrong - is a valuable life skill.

Hat found up a tree in Carney Village
In what was perhaps the slowest day in the history of journalism, the Sligo Weekender newspaper actually reported a lost hat in a tree.
“I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw it up there”, said the resident of Carney, County Sligo, when describing the green, bobbled hat in a tree opposite the local pub.

I can’t stand the suspense. Was the hat reclaimed or destroyed?

Irish funeral bursts into laughter when pre-recorded message of dead man calling out from his coffin is played
Bradley was a soldier who, before sadly passing, decided to leave a pre-recorded message of himself in his coffin to scare the living daylights out of everyone at his funeral.
The tears at this service were of laughter, as the crowd erupted into bellied hysterics as the recording shouted, “Help, let me out. Where the f*ck am I? Let me out, let me out, it’s f*cking dark in here!”
The joker’s recording was unprecedented and took everyone by complete surprise. “Is that a priest I can hear? This is Shay, I’m in the box. No, in f*cking front of you. I’m dead,” it continued.

The OP about the size of mince pies reminds me of an excellent story about Rolo chocolates.
The maker reduced the number of Rolos in each tube by one, without telling anybody.
A mum complained because she was in the habit of sharing a tube equally among her children, leaving one Rolo for herself.
The new number meant the poor woman was left without her chocolate treat.
That in itself was good enough for a page lead in all the tabloids, but the icing on the cake was Rolo's slogan about loving anyone enough to give them your last Rolo.

‘Cock-up’ as three giant stone penises stolen from shop

Local papers are full of junk 'stories' like this, usually including a photo of someone looking cross with their arms folded. I never understand why people would want to go public with their mistakes and just embarrass themselves. If they are truly aggrieved then just use the appeals process.

Love the comments section about her thinking that was 2-3inches. Puts every man to shame.
