I could not be more happy - my team has just won a derby match on the opponent's ground for the first time in 17 years - and they were 2-0 down at halftime ;D ;D ;D ;D 8)

How did they do at Bolton, Arthur?    :D :D

Not exactly applicable here, but it has made us laugh:
Earlier in the year, a controversial toxic waste transfer plant on the edge of our village was destroyed in a fire. For several weeks afterwards, the water from the beck was pumped into tankers to stop it polluting the River Nidd, nearby. A few weeks ago, the 4 tankers full, stored near the factory, were stolen. Who knows where the polluted water was dumped, but at least the owners of the factory didn't have to pay for its disposal (!). During the last week, the remains of the burnt-out building has been dismantled and removed. Today, it transpired that it too, has been stolen! Now there is somebody with a good heist for their cv.
