Allegation of bin theft ‘rubbish’ say neighbours
Allegation of bin theft ‘rubbish’ say neighbours

Neighbours… everybody needs good neighbours. If only we actually had them and not someone accused of bin theft.

That’s what the Robson family who live at No.35, Rectory Road, Mellis, Suffolk have been wishing, ever since their neighbours, the Rowntrees, who live at No.37, stole their prized wheelie bin (allegedly).

It all started when Sandra Robson (54) went to take out her family’s trash last Monday evening in time for the bin collection early Tuesday morning. Upon opening the lid of her bin. She was horrified to discover that it was full of other people’s crap – including, a smashed-up old tricycle which she could have sworn belonged to ‘that little shit next door’, Sean Rowntree (5), the toddler son of neighbours John (unemployed) & Maureen (unemployable) Rowntree.

Disgusted, Sandra called her husband, Dave, downstairs to help her empty the bin onto the doorstep of No.37 – where she believed it originated and rightly belonged. To ensure that the Rowntrees got the message to leave their bin alone, Sandra instructed Dave to whitewash the words ‘No.35 RUBBISH’ on the side of their bin – which he reluctantly did with a sigh and several muted ffs’s.

Litter did she know

The next morning, amidst the revving of van engines, and the general ambience of life in a run-down, working-class street, Sandra opened her front door in her pink, tea-stained nightgown to retrieve the milk which had ceased being delivered about twenty years before.

What she did find, to her utter dismay, was that her beloved, freshly-daubed wheelie bin had been stolen, by the Rowntrees – obviously – or at least that’s what she thought. What she didn’t know was that a dopey binman had taken Dave’s daubed message to mean that the wheelie bin itself was rubbish and should be chucked in the dustcart – which it had been earlier that morning, but of course, haughty Sandra wasn’t to know that.

Neighbours had bin wrongly accused

Adding two and two together and coming up with five, Sandra called Dave downstairs again and insisted that he retaliate against ‘those f*cking f*ckers next door’ by stealing their bin and making it their own. Having done as ordered, dutiful twerp, Dave was further directed by his viperous wife, who was standing on their doorstep with her arms folded, and full of scorn, to get his tin of paint out again, and spell out the accusation, in large capital letters, that No.37 had pinched their prized wheelie bin.

It just goes to show, you never can tell… can you?

Pingu whitewashes past at Chinese laundry
Pingu whitewashes past at Chinese laundry

Has-been children’s TVs Penguin, ‘Pingu’ is running a Chinese laundry in Antarctica to make ends meet.

The one-time pre-school favourite has been running Pingu’s Laundry.ever since his hit telly show was unexpectedly cancelled in 2006, leaving him stony broke.

Pingu (36) from West Berlin, Germany, is best known for getting up to no good with his best friend Robby,.sister Pinga, and girlfriend, Pingi over 157 cold, caper-filled episodes which ran worldwide for sixteen years from 1990.

However, having squandered his fortune on cordon bleu krill, squids, and fishes,. and with other stop-motion, clay animals stepping into his shoes.

.Pingu has been forced to return to his family’s traditional trade.of washing and ironing the clothes and bedsheets of more prosperous and enduring celebrities such as Morph, Wallace & Grommet, and Shaun the Sheep.

Sprechen sie Chinese?

Chinese laundry, services were first introduced to the US.and Canada by Chinese immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Poverty and a lack of English language skills prevented the Chinese from obtaining more gainful employment. Conditions in the laundries were poor and the launderers were forced to wash, scrub and iron up to sixteen hours a day.

We contacted Robby, Pingu’s former best friend and co-star and asked him where things went so badly wrong for his old chum. “chramalachanangachlang, Nachlanga damachanga lamancha, womanizer, Noot Noot! Hatachamanchalacha hamanglchanka, forgot who his friends were, damana lachanga underage sex scandal, Noot Noot! Famahadan, amanchalanada, naked romp at Michael Barrymore’s house, Noot Noot!”

Pingu was not available to comment.

Aldi in a flap as branded flip-flops flop

Bosses at Aldi are in a flap as their new range of branded sportswear has flopped in its shops.

By placing itself as the affordable supermarket of poor people, Aldi-branded groceries continue to fly out of the shops as the never-ending, ever-upward-spiralling cost-of-living crisis continues to bite. But when it comes to fashionable sportswear, they haven’t got a f*cking clue!

Bundesflagging sales

No discerning Brit abroad, regardless of how chavvy, lolloping, or lacking in self-respect they might be, would ever consider wearing the tacky Aldi-coloured plastic crap that the popular German Bundeshop has released in preparation for the scorching-hot summer that Greenpeace has promised us. The poorly-produced, waterproof (possibly) footwear, which feature the aggressive colours of the German flag, also appear (albeit completely coincidentally – probably) to be inspired by fellow German sports footwear manufacturer Adidas.

Dassler way to do it

For those readers who don’t already know, Adidas was founded in 1949 by Nazi cobbler and entrepreneur, Adolf Dassler, younger brother of Heir Rudolf Dassler, founder of Puma (also purveyors of Sportschuhfabrik.) Emblazoned with their iconic three diagonal stripes, the Dassler brothers’ shoes were an instant smash and were even endorsed by Jesse Owens who wore them as he set his long jump record at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The shoes also graced the feet of thousands of sports club members of the Hitler Youth. Ahem.

Aldi Flip Flops

In a weird replication of the German-Nazi-brother-entrepreneurs-invading-England model, Aldi too was founded and run by two German brothers, Karl and Theo Albrecht, when they took over their mother’s store in Essen in 1946. Younger bruder, Theo fought under Rommel in the Afrika Korps, while bigger bruder, Karl fought with the Third Reich on the Russian front.

Don’t mention the war

Despite the Albrechts both being long dead, their shops are undeniably extremely cheap and successful, and for that, the people of Great Britain will always be grateful.

Quite why Adidas shoes are still worn by so many of us is anyone’s guess?

Primark fitting room gender exclusion confusion

Primark fitting room gender exclusion confusion
Primark fitting room gender exclusion confusion

To its credit, Primark has attempted to take the lead in the great British ‘what is a woman and what is a man?’ debate by signaling to customers its fitting room rules. Trouble is, the guidance is really confusing.

It used to be so simple. When you went to the shops to buy clothes, women would try them on in the women’s fitting room, men would use the men’s fitting room, and transvestites or transgenders would just borrow their wives’ or mums’ clothes without the need for them to fit properly at all. Today, everything’s changed.

Pri Mark (or Michelle)

Some of Primark’s fitting rooms are for women only, but they don’t specify what a woman is (?) I know what a woman is (I think), and so do you (probably) but one can never be certain anymore. I think womanhood has something to do with having the ability to menstruate and look after a family’s finances in a responsible way (apart from my brother’s wife, who spends his wages like she’s trying to bail out a swiss investment bank.) But what if I (a handsome, butch, womanizing man) choose to identify as a woman (which I sometimes like to do on a weekend)? Can I use the women’s fitting room at Primark? Perhaps I had better ask Nicola Sturgeon.

Fat Doris (or Dave)

Primark also offers ‘Any gender fitting rooms’ (whatever they are) to those who ask. Does this mean that as a fully-grown man (on weekdays, at least), I can share a fitting room with a juvenile female fitting for a school uniform, or a fat old Doris trying on some plus-size hosiery, as long as I ‘identify’ as a woman? Really?

Although we applaud Primark for trying, we recommend that it scraps its confusing fitting room guidance and adopt the system we use at the SUFFOLK GAZETTE. If our staff need to change clothes for whatever reason (e.g. switching between genders, willy-nilly) we just strip off and do it right there in the middle of the room, where everyone can see, without warning. I mean, what’s the point of having a special room for discreetly changing clothes IF ANYONE CAN GO IN THERE?

Wake up Britain! You’re losing it – fast!

The Therapeutic Potential of THCA Flower: Exploring the Benefits and Uses

The Therapeutic Potential of THCA Flower: Exploring the Benefits and Uses
The Therapeutic Potential of THCA Flower: Exploring the Benefits and Uses

With cannabis becoming legalized in more places and as people become more aware of the medical benefits of cannabinoids, more people are willing to use it to ease their health conditions. There is also more research into the therapeutic potential of various cannabinoids in the cannabis plant continues to expand. Among the cannabinoids gaining attention these days is tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA).

The THCA flower is the raw cannabis flower containing high concentration levels of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA). While it is not psychoactive like tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and would not cause you to get high, THCA flower has different medicinal properties that make it valuable for treating various medical conditions.

This article discusses the potential benefits and uses of the THCA flower.

Potential Benefits of THCA Flower

Some of the medicinal properties of the THCA flower include the following:

Anti-Inflammatory Properties

THCA has anti-inflammatory properties, which can relieve health conditions such as arthritis, Crohn’s disease, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, and psoriasis. Research has shown that it can modulate the activities of immune cells, such as T-cells and macrophages, to reduce the body’s natural response to injury or infection and subsequently reduce inflammation.

This was proven in a preclinical study published in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, which showed that THCA effectively reduced inflammation and oxidative stress in mice.

Neuroprotective Properties

Regular use of THCA flower can help protect brain nerve cells from damage caused by oxidative stress and inflammation. It influences the expressions of cells that control inflammation, stress response, and neuronal growth to protect nerve cells from degeneration.

It also increases the production of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that enhances the growth and survival of neurons. This makes it valuable in treating conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and multiple sclerosis.

A 2017 study on the effectiveness of THC for neurodegenerative conditions revealed that THCA reduced inflammation and improved cognitive function in subjects diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

Antiemetic Properties

It is common for patients to suffer from nausea and vomiting after chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and some medications. While traditional antiemetics, such as serotonin receptor antagonists, can be effective, they may also have unpleasant side effects. The antiemetic properties of THCA make it ideal for treating nausea and vomiting without experiencing undesirable reactions.

In a 2013 experiment, researchers found that THCA reduced vomiting and nausea induced by cisplatin, a chemotherapy drug. The study also revealed that THCA is a stronger antiemetic agent than THC because it does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier. It is also non-psychoactive, making it a safer alternative for people who do not wanting to get high.

Antioxidant Properties

When reactive oxygen is produced in excess, but the body cannot detoxify or repair the damage they cause, it can lead to oxidative stress. This can cause cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disorders due to damage to cells. THCA interacts with the endocannabinoid systems to eliminate the free oxygen radicals and reduce oxidative stress. Moreover, it has a stronger affinity for reactive oxygen radicals, which allows it to neutralize them more effectively than THC.

Uses of THCA Flower

There are different ways to use your THCA flower to maximize its therapeutic benefits. Some of them include the following:

Juicing

You can juice raw cannabis leaves and flowers into smoothies. This is one of the best ways to consume the flower without risking decarboxylation and mistakenly converting the THCA cannabinoid to THC.

Topicals

The topical application involves rubbing creams or balms that contain THCA directly into the skin. This allows for localized delivery and reduces the risk of decarboxylation. Even better, topical application can improve skin conditions such as eczema and acne.

Tinctures

Tincture application involves dropping a few THCA tincture under the tongue and holding it for a few seconds before swallowing. This sends THCA into the bloodstream via the blood vessels under the tongue. You can also make your THCA flowers into tinctures by soaking the raw cannabis flower in alcohol or oil.

Smoking and Vaping

If you want to experience a psychoactive experience, you can also convert your THCA flower into THC by smoking or vaping the flower. Applying heat strips the THCA molecule of the carboxylic acid atom, converting it to THC, which readily binds to the CB1 receptor of the endocannabinoid system.

Milk man on London tube a sucker for love

Milk man on London tube a sucker for love

We’ve all done it. You see a fitty on the London tube, and you think to yourself ‘she’s nice. I’m perfect for her.’, so you stand up and whip it out to impress her.

That’s what happened when Elvin Carmichael headed into London tube on a sightseeing trip from his hometown of Nayland in Suffolk. Carmichael (26), a budding comedian of no fixed address, was on the central line near Stratford when a beautiful, young professional boarded the train and sat down beside him.

After staring at her reflection in the opposite window and taking a few selfies of the two of them together, the day-tripper began to repeatedly peer out of the corner of his eyes at the attractive young lady, who sitting, obliviously staring at her phone beside him. When these dating formalities were over, Carmichael, who has a history of mental illness, decided to take their romance to the next level.

Hand down trousers

An anonymous commuter who witnessed the events told this reporter “You instantly know when a nutter has boarded the London Tube because you can see them looking up and down the carriage, scanning for a victim.

After he sat down, I could see him mouthing some shit to himself – another surefire sign of lunacy. Anyway, after the unsuspecting woman sat down beside him, I watched to see what happened next. My hands began to clam up and I thought ‘here we go’. After he had taken the photos and done the eyes thing a few times, he started the mouthing again, practicing whatever crazy idea he had in his head. And then he did it.”

Did what?

“I was about to tell you. He stood up and faced the lady. She looked up from her phone. His back was to me now but I saw him put his hand down his trousers and reach for something. He began to slowly pull whatever it was up and out over his waistband. It turned out to be a large carton of full-fat milk. A few of the passengers began to take notice, but the girl, who was wearing ear pods, sat quite unmoved.”

Then what?

“Give me a chance, I was about to tell you. Then he reached down the back of his trousers and pulled out two paper straws, already out of their wrappers. They must have been lodged in his ass crack to have been so immediately accessible. He sat down again, this time facing the woman, and started to mouth some crazy shit.”

What did he say?

“I don’t know. I was wearing ear pods also, but he had taken the lid off the milk and put the straws in so it was probably a bonkers chat-up line. He kept puckering and making sucking motions with his lips. He was gesturing for the girl to drink the milk through the other straw as he sucked through his.”

Good grief. Then what happened?

“Don’t ask me. We got to Bethnal Green, which is my stop, so I got off.”

EXCLUSIVE: READING BOOKS LEADS TO FAR-RIGHT TERRORISM SHOCKER!

EXCLUSIVE: READING BOOKS LEADS TO FAR-RIGHT TERRORISM SHOCKER!
READING BOOKS LEADS TO FAR-RIGHT TERRORISM SHOCKER!
READING BOOKS LEADS TO FAR-RIGHT TERRORISM SHOCKER!

In the past, reading a book was generally considered a sign of intelligence. Not so in Britain in 2023.

An investigation by the SUFFOLK GAZETTE has revealed that the British government-led,.multi-agency ‘Prevent’ programme – which aims to stop individuals from becoming terrorists – considers the reading of books a potential route to right-wing extremism and by extension, terrorism.

Ha! Books such as J. R. R. Tolkien’s epic fantasy ‘The Lord of the Rings’, and George Orwell’s dystopian psychodrama.‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ have been cited as tomes that might encourage the vulnerable and marginalized to actually think for themselves – just as the authors intended. Oh no! We can’t have that!

Prevent my arse

Orwell’s deliciously prescient ‘1984’ artfully describes how governments attempt to use fear, paranoia, and isolation to control the proletariat (W.C. ‘working-class people collectively’).

Ironically, and considering that the very working people the UK Government most fears becoming enlightened,.are the least likely to read (due to illiteracy, poverty, and poor high cultural awareness), it is the UK Government and its policing agencies that come across as paranoid.

It is generally accepted that knowledge is power, but power isn’t necessarily something to be feared. The enlightened are usually better equipped to see both sides of an argument,.and thus seek remedies to their grievances which are just and obtained without recourse to violence.

Suppressing knowledge is self-defeating as it stymies the realization of the progressive ideals that those who seek to dominate claim to want for themselves – if not the wider society.

Fishy fascism

In the same way that if you give a man a fish he will eat for a day,.and if you give him the knowledge and means to fish he will feed himself and his family forever, giving the beggarly the means to think for themselves should ultimately lead to more civilized and safer societies.

So rather than suppress illuminating books,.or the language they use (as Adolf Hitler was fond of doing) why not instead provide, promote, and promulgate them?

Having said that, if, with the same end in mind, the Government wishes to ban or burn the Sun and Guardian newspapers, we at the SUFFOLK GAZETTE have no problem with that, whatsoever!

W.C. = Working Class

<strong>Beyond Traditional Sports: How Online Bookmakers are Diversifying their Offerings</strong>
How Online Bookmakers are Diversifying their Offerings

Since its inception in the late 1990s, online betting platforms in the UK have seen remarkable progress in almost all aspects. Stemming from well-established and thoroughly developed land-based sports gambling options, this industry has blossomed into a whole new world with plenty of choices for customers. Online bookmakers have grown from offering simple sports betting options to providing customers with an array of markets and options, such as in-play wagering and improved live streaming.

Despite the rapid growth and evolution of online betting, bookmakers still need to attract new customers while keeping existing ones satisfied. Thus, sportsbooks are moving beyond traditional sports betting to offer a broader selection of betting options. From the winners of Danish X-Factor to Dota 2 International outcomes and the results of elections and referendums globally, these opportunities open up the world of betting to those unfamiliar with the current line-ups and the form of top-notch sporting teams.

To conquer new demographics, betting sites are diversifying their offering and creating more lucrative opportunities that include bets on politics, entertainment, esports and virtual sports. Diversification has become even more essential over time as the competition among bookmakers has intensified. Let’s explore how the UK bookmakers are going an extra mile in terms of their offering variety together with BetReligion’s guide to sports coverage on top betting sites.

Traditional sports

Traditional sports betting has long been the cornerstone of online bookmaking. Popular bets include football, basketball, horse racing, boxing and tennis. However, bookmakers are now especially wary of less popular leagues and local competitions to appeal to a broader range of customers and interests.

Politics

One key area that bookmakers strive to expand upon has been politics, with sportsbooks now offering betting markets on major political events like the year of the next general election or the winner of the US presidential race. The interest in politics has always been high, and a thorough understanding of the political landscape coupled with lesser volatility than in sports betting makes for plenty of value bets in this area.

Entertainment

Another area of diversification is entertainment, with bookmakers now offering betting markets on popular entertainment events like international award and reality TV competitions — from the Nobel Prize to Strictly Come Dancing. This has proven a popular betting choice as these events are often the ones to make headlines, so one way or another you’ll be rather well-informed on the topic.

Esports

Esports have truly become a fan-favourite option in recent years. To capitalise on the growing competitive gaming and popularity of esports tournaments, bookmakers have begun offering betting markets on various events like CS:GO, Dota 2, League of Legends, Overwatch, and Rainbow Six.

Virtual sports

Virtual sports, which are computer-generated simulations of real sports events, have also seen a steady rise in terms of their betting popularity. Bookmakers offer virtual sports markets for various sports like football, horse racing and greyhound racing. With virtual sports, customers can place bets on events running 24/7 getting access to an endless supply of betting chances.

Are online bookmakers becoming more than just a platform for sports betting? The answer is an emphatic yes. With their services expanding, online bookmakers are catering not only to sports fans but also those interested in politics, entertainment, esports and virtual sports. Customers now have access to more betting possibilities than ever before which makes them increasingly appealing to punters with varied interests.
