Is the leader of the Labour Party:\r\na) Keith Vaz\r\nb) Jeremy Vine\r\nc) <a href="https://www.suffolkgazette.com/news/panda-margaret-thatcher/">Margaret Thatcher</a>\r\nd) Gordon Brown\r\ne) It\'s not fair to ask a girl that question.\r\n\r\n2. Is Donald Trump:\r\na) A barber\r\nb) A golfer\r\nc) A comedian\r\nd) A  politician.\r\ne) It\'s nor fair to ask a girl that question.\r\n\r\n3. Was the National Health Service invented by:\r\na) Andy Anadin\r\nb) I. Bruprofen\r\nc) Nye Bevan\r\nd) Andre Previn\r\ne) It\'s not fair to ask a girl that question.\r\n\r\n4. What colour is a working man\'s white van?\r\na) Teal\r\nb) White\r\nc) Alizarin Crimson\r\nd) Taupe\r\ne) It\'s not fair to ask a girl that question.\r\n\r\n5. Is a big end\r\na) A penis\r\nb) The larger end of the connecting rod encircling a crankpin.\r\nc) A bit in a white van.\r\nd) A car-crash interview about foreign affairs on Sky TV\r\ne) It\'s not fair to ask a girl that question.\r\n\r\n6. Is Emily Thornberry\r\na) A Butterick dress pattern model?\r\nb) The Shadow Foreign Secretary\r\nc) The French Foreign Secretary\r\nd) A character from Bagpuss\r\ne) It\'s not fair to ask a girl that question.\r\n\r\nAfterwards, a victorious Mr Murnaghan said: "I knew answering \'e\' to all the questions would win me the quiz. If a woman is merely the Shadow Foreign Secretary, you can\'t expect the poor darling to know anything other than the rehearsed answers. I guessed Emily, being the chair girl of the pub quiz, would make the winning answers inscrutable. I\'m proud to have fathomed the answers."\r\n\r\nEarlier in the day, Ms Thornberry had accused Sky News anchorman Dermot Murnaghan of sexism for asking her who the French Foreign Secretary was - or even the South Korean President. She claimed he was \'pub-quizzing\' her, and it was all jolly unfair.\r\n\r\n<div class="fb-like" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/suffolkgazette" data-layout="standard" data-action="like" data-show-faces="true" data-share="true"></div><br>\r\n\r\n<a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/buy-us-a-beer/">Please support my running costs by clicking here and buying me a beer!</a>\r\n[olimometer id=1]', 'Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry hosts pub quiz', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '4669-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-01-29 14:17:39', '2018-01-29 14:17:39', '', 4669, 'https://www.suffolkgazette.com/news/4669-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

Then the sun came out and got too warm, affecting overhead lines which snapped at Ilford causing a line-side fire, which damaged the 7.32, compounding issues with the 12 other train faults, and leading to disruptive passengers causing further delays. In the confusion someone was taken ill at Shenfield. It later transpired that this person was a ticket inspector, leading to even more hold-ups owing to "waiting for a member of the train crew". When things did eventually start moving there were signal problems at Colchester.\r\n\r\nGreater Anglia said it was not running the franchise at the time, but blamed Network Rail anyway.  It would extract huge compensation from them while passing only a fraction back to passengers.\r\n\r\n<a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/buy-us-a-beer/">Please support my running costs by clicking here and buying me a beer!</a>\r\n[olimometer id=1]\r\n\r\n<i>Join our vibrant social community by <a href="http://www.facebook.com/suffolkgazette">liking us on Facebook</a> or by <a href="http://www.twitter.com/suffolkgazette">following us on Twitter</a>.

My husband went from thongs to long Johns overnight, which was a relief for the neighbours, especially after he drank the last of the summer wine and did the conga with the lawnmower.</strong>\r\n\r\nWith the blackberries luscious and sweet on the hedges and the summer flowers on the wane there is no doubt that Autumn is here. Santa will be coming soon. He\'s already nipped round to some of the supermarkets, depositing his little parcels.\r\n\r\nAnd autumn means it\'s time to get your dibber out.\r\n\r\nI\'ve had mine out in My Lady Garden after buying several sacks of daffodils for a few quid at Lidl. Your snowdrops, crocus and spring narcissi, tulips, alliums and muscari can all be popped in now.\r\n\r\nHere\'s how to do it. Use your dibber - basically a pointy stick - to poke a hole in the ground to plant bulbs, corms and tubers, or with crocus and snowdrops you can pop  them into the lawn. Often a dibber will have inch measures notched on so you can see how far to stick it in. They come in different thicknesses and lengths as you can see from the photo I got on Snapchat.\r\n\r\n<center><a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Dibber.jpg"><img src="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Dibber.jpg" alt="Dibbers" width="400" height="240" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4716" /></a><i>Dibbers in different shapes and sizes</center></i><br><br>\r\n\r\nIn Roman days, after feasting on fattened dormice and swigging jugs of mead wine, one old farmer would walk in a relatively straight line with his dibber out, making indents. He would be followed by another farmer inserting seed or bulbs, then filling in the first man\'s hole.\r\n\r\nI use a dibber for small crocus, grape hyacinth and snowdrops but for plumper bulbs, I find it easier to use a metal bulb planter like this one by Spear and Jackson, who were probably those first Roman farmers I referred to.\r\n\r\n<center><a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/planter.jpg"><img src="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/planter.jpg" alt="planter" width="500" height="500" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4717" /></a><i>Easy peasy, just squeezy</center></i><br><br>\r\n\r\nUse your planter after rain, so the ground isn\'t like concrete, unless you are some kind of masochist.\r\n\r\nYou take out a divot, like the Suffolk Gazette editor trying to hit a golf ball (<i>true story - Ed</i>), then drop in your larger bulbs like daffs, then - hey presto! - the spring-loaded handle pops the little clump of soil back. You can buy dibbers and planters for a few quid and there is even a long-handled one for those who don\'t like to bend down, or fear they may never get up again.\r\n\r\nAt this time of year you can go online and order a great-value "lucky dip" of bulbs or plug plants which will give you colour and cutting flowers in the spring.\r\n\r\nIf you\'re like me, you won\'t have a fecking clue what\'s going to bloom but that\'s all part of the fun of nature.\r\n\r\nThis week I chopped down my dead sweet peas. The wigwam thingy they grow up will have a winter jasmine or clematis if I can find some in the pound shop or B & Q. I also cut down the finished herbaceous border plants. If you have yet to do this, leave some tall ones, such as allium, crocosmia and poppy seed heads so you have some structure for frosts and snow. It can look very artistic, as do my poppy heads above the fine statue of a gnome on an Ipswich Town tractor.

Please keep clear."\r\n\r\nBut Mrs Fisher said it could not stop any water whatsoever.\r\n\r\n"I think the Environment Agency has confused a floodgate for a gate. Or perhaps this is symptomatic of the budget cuts hitting public services?"\r\n\r\n[AdSense-B]\r\n\r\nThe Environment Agency insists the gate can hold back millions of gallons of water if needs be, and that there have not been any <a href="https://www.suffolkgazette.com/news/gritting/">budget cuts</a>.\r\n\r\nAgency insider Chris Allen said: "The gate works perfectly well - there has certainly not been any flooding in Horsey since we installed it.\r\n\r\n"We just hope that nobody accidentally leaves it open, otherwise we\'re in real trouble." \r\n\r\n<h2><a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/buy-us-a-beer/" onclick="trackOutboundLink(\'http://www.suffolkgazette.com/buy-us-a-beer/\'); return false;">Click here to support the Suffolk Gazette Beer Fund!</a>\r\n[olimometer id=1]</h2>\r\n\r\n<h3>ADVERT: <a href="http://www.houseintown.co.uk/" onclick="trackOutboundLink(\'http://www.houseintown.co.uk\'); return false;">Click for latest The House in Town offers</a></h3>\r\n', 'Norfolk floodgate \'not fit for purpose\'', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '7858-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-01-29 15:26:38', '2018-01-29 15:26:38', '', 7858, 'https://www.suffolkgazette.com/news/7858-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

He will be presenting them to the Food Standards Agency early next year, and already has the backing of meat trade associations and the Meat Marketing Board.\r\n\r\nA retail insider said: "This new animal is unique and solves a critical problem for farmers everywhere - how to diversify their produce with no extra expense.\r\n\r\n<b>\'Cheaper\'</b>\r\n\r\n"By breeding pows they can produce pork and beef products from the same animal, halving their costs. These savings will ultimately be passed on to the consumer, so we can all expect cheaper Sunday lunches within a year."\r\n\r\nDeveloping the first pow was no easy task. Mr Giles and his team had to find a small cow and a large pig in order to make breeding physically possible.\r\n\r\n"We put them together in a cozy sty, put down plenty of straw and turned down the lighting. We then left them alone to let nature take its course. We confirmed within a week that the cow was pregnant, and five months later a litter of six pows arrived.\r\n\r\n"The were all pink with black markings with a curious shaped head. We have successfully kept the breeding programme going and the animals are all strong and healthy.\r\n\r\n"We\'re delighted with the pows.

They also believe that cash benefits from waterways leisure tourism will help recoup most of the cost in the future.\r\n\r\nHuge environmental benefits have further persuaded the Government that the canal is the way forward.\r\n\r\nThe canal will start at Felixstowe Port and head alongside the A14 towards Ipswich, then out past Stowmarket, Bury and Newmarket to Cambridge.\r\n\r\nFrom there is heads to Northampton, where it will connect to the existing UK canal network, enabling the barges to head north, continue to the West Midlands, across to London or the South West.\r\n\r\nSpecial terminals built along the route will allow lorries to take containers off the barges to allow an onward journey to destinations away from the canal system.\r\n\r\nThe Suffolk Gazette understands that the transport industry was concerned about the time it would take for a container to travel along the canal at 4mph.\r\n\r\nBut once shown the cost benefits, and upon being told the British Waterways Authority would raise the speed limit to 6mph, they have signed up to the plan.\r\n\r\nThe canal will be completed in just three years since there will be no need for locks to be built in the flat landscape.\r\n\r\n[AdSense-B]\r\n\r\nA government insider said: "The solution to Suffolk\'s transports woes is a simple yet radical one. We\'ll turn the clock back more than 100 years and use the water like the Victorians did, embracing a cheaper and more environmentally-friendly mode of transport.\r\n\r\n"This will free up the region\'s clogged roads, and leave railway lines for passenger rather than freight.\r\n\r\n"And in doing so we\'ll create hundreds of construction jobs - then enjoy a growth in leisure businesses along the whole stretch from Felixstowe to Northampton."\r\n\r\nA study of the proposed route shows some houses will need to be raised on stilts to allow the canal to run underneath.\r\n\r\nOne of those likely to affected is Bert Weedon of Bramford, near Ipswich. He said: "I don\'t mind. Having a canal running underneath the house will be a big selling point.\r\n\r\n"Plus with stilts we\'ll have brilliant views from the living room."\r\n\r\nThe news is the second big transport boost for Suffolk in weeks, after the Suffolk Gazette revealed a <a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/business/new-tube-line-ipswich/">new tube line was being built from London to Ipswich</a>.

The current Greater Anglia service is terrible, and we face regular delays, unexpected cancellations, and issues with ancient rolling stock.\r\n\r\n"To get a sleek new underground service all the way to London is brilliant. It will be faster and cleaner... and best of all, Londoners will be footing most of the bill."\r\n\r\nMr Tomkins, who works in a City of London finance house, estimated the new Anglian Line will save him £5,000 a year, and get him to work 20 minutes quicker each day.\r\n\r\nA spokesman for Mayor of London Boris Johnson\'s office confirmed Londoners will stump up most of the £7 billion bill for the new line.

Suddenly we heard the roar of an engine on the horizon, and watched in awe as this huge military-style helicopter rose above the treeline in the distance.\r\n\r\n"It looked like it was following a bloke on a bicycle, but then we watched in horror as there was a puff of smoke and a missile was launched.\r\n\r\n"It came straight over the primary school and towards us, and was seemingly homing in on the heat generated by the solar panels on the vicarage roof.\r\n\r\n"It smacked straight into it, and destroyed the whole place. Luckily none of us were hurt, although Gladys Worthington-Smythe was hit on the toe by a falling flower pot."\r\n\r\nThe Apache was grounded immediately and an investigation launched by the Suffolk Police Chief Constable.\r\n\r\nPolice crews only took delivery of the Apache helicopter two weeks ago, <a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/news/public-fear-new-suffolk-police-helicopter/" target="_blank">as revealed exclusively in the Suffolk Gazette</a>.\r\n\r\n[AdSense-B]\r\n\r\nA police spokesman said: "We\'ve sent it back to the Ministry of Defence. The crew were trying to get to grips with the hi-tech kit on the Apache, but in doing so they got confused and fired off a missile.\r\n\r\n"Sadly, this then went on to destroy a pleasant Victorian vicarage, and for that we can only apologise."\r\n\r\nThe £13 million police Apache helicopter is now being mothballed. In its place, Suffolk Crime Commissioner Tim Passless has ordered a fleet of 17 Chieftain Battle Tanks.\r\n\r\n"This will help us to bring crime levels down, although even they may not be up to the task of patrolling the badlands of Haverhill."\r\n\r\n* * * * * *\r\n\r\n[wysija_form id="1"]\r\n\r\n<h2><a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/buy-us-a-beer/" onclick="trackOutboundLink(\'http://www.suffolkgazette.com/buy-us-a-beer/\'); return false;">Click here to support the Suffolk Gazette Beer Fund!</a>\r\n[olimometer id=1]</h2>\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.facebook.com/suffolkgazette/">Join our witty Suffolk Gazette Facebook page community.</a></h2>', 'Police Apache helicopter blows up vicarage', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '270-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-02-06 14:23:14', '2018-02-06 14:23:14', '', 270, 'https://www.suffolkgazette.com/news/270-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

Coincidentally, 60mph was also the top speed (downhill).\r\n\r\n\r\n<br>\r\nNorfolk businessman Billy Bob Spuckler, who lives in Downham Market with his sister and their eight children, claims reviving the car will put Norfolk at the forefront of <a href="https://www.suffolkgazette.com/business/british-car-brexit/">global automobile industry</a>, beating the super reliability and build quality of the Japanese and Germans.\r\n\r\nHe said: "I was on holiday abroad in Clacton and met this bloke in a bar who offered to sell me the Trabant name and manufacturing blueprints for £200. It seemed almost too good to be true - so I bit his hand off, not literally of course. Norfolk people will be the envy of Britain when they start driving these beauties around the lanes."\r\n\r\nThe first cars are expected to be pushed off the production line in August, and will cost just £37,000 each, or £49,000 for the super-charged, hi-spec model, which comes with windscreen wipers and a horn.\r\n\r\nMr Spuckler expects to produce 500 cars a year in a variety of colours, so long as they are beige and pale blue.\r\n\r\n<a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/donations/suffolk-gazette-beer-fund/">Please support my running costs by clicking here and buying me a beer!</a>\r\n[olimometer id=1]', 'Trabant car brand revived by Norfolk businessman', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '5708-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-02-07 10:49:38', '2018-02-07 10:49:38', '', 5708, 'https://www.suffolkgazette.com/news/5708-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

Thinking of you on this special day x."\r\n\r\nA Suffolk Police spokesman told the Suffolk Gazette: "This sort of relationship with your uncle may be acceptable behaviour on the <a href="https://www.suffolkgazette.com/business/norfolk-map/">Norfolk map</a>, but here in Suffolk it is clearly a crime, and therefore unheard of.\r\n\r\n"As the cards were being made in Suffolk - albeit close to the Norfolk border - we had no option but to act fast."\r\n\r\n[AdSense-B]\r\n\r\nIt transpires Norfolk Bumpkin Greetings Ltd is run by a couple originally from Norfolk. Edna Spratt and her brother Bubba moved to Lowestoft with their nine children in 2009 when their <a href="https://www.suffolkgazette.com/news/norfolk-police-wanted/">turnip crop</a> failed.\r\n\r\nPolice say a 39-year-old woman and a 36-year-old man from Lowestoft will appear before the town\'s magistrates on Monday, charged with outraging public decency.\r\n\r\n* * * * * *\r\n\r\n[wysija_form id="1"]\r\n\r\n<h2><a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/buy-us-a-beer/" onclick="trackOutboundLink(\'http://www.suffolkgazette.com/buy-us-a-beer/\'); return false;">Click here to support the Suffolk Gazette Beer Fund!</a>\r\n[olimometer id=1]</h2>\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.facebook.com/suffolkgazette/">Join our witty Suffolk Gazette Facebook page community.</a></h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>ADVERT: <a href="http://www.houseintown.co.uk/" onclick="trackOutboundLink(\'http://www.houseintown.co.uk\'); return false;">Click for latest The House in Town offers</a></h3>', 'Police seize incestuous Norfolk Valentine\'s Day cards', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '4809-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-02-09 09:21:27', '2018-02-09 09:21:27', '', 4809, 'https://www.suffolkgazette.com/news/4809-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

It started burning and died.\r\n\r\n"I think it is disgraceful - this would not have happened if you put another other person\'s emoji next to the sun. Someone should pay for this - it\'s clearly gingerist."\r\n\r\nApple is now investigating the embarrassing bug in the software affecting apps like Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp.\r\n\r\nIt insists it is a pure coincidence that the overheating bug should happen only when a ginger emoji is adjacent to a sun emoji.\r\n\r\n"Our developers say it could have been a combination of any two, but it\'s unfortunate it was these two.\r\n\r\n"We\'ve sorted it now so that if anyone uses the ginger emoji your phone will have an argument with you."\r\n\r\n[AdSense-B]\r\n\r\nApple says its fix has already started to be rolled out, and some users should already be able to use the combination without any issues.\r\n\r\nThe Suffolk Gazette is happy to see the resolution after itself getting into hot water over taking the mickey out of <a href="https://www.suffolkgazette.com/news/gingers-heat-wave/">ginger people</a>.\r\n\r\n* * * * * *\r\n\r\n[wysija_form id="1"]\r\n\r\n<h2><a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/buy-us-a-beer/" onclick="trackOutboundLink(\'http://www.suffolkgazette.com/buy-us-a-beer/\'); return false;">Click here to support the Suffolk Gazette Beer Fund!</a>\r\n[olimometer id=1]</h2>\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.facebook.com/suffolkgazette/">Join our witty Suffolk Gazette Facebook page community.</a></h2>', 'Using new ginger-haired emoji with sun symbol overheats your phone', '', 'publish', 'closed', 'closed', '', 'ginger-emoji', '', '', '2018-02-09 17:35:38', '2018-02-09 17:35:38', '', 0, 'https://www.suffolkgazette.com/?p=8437', 0, 'post', '', 0);
