Dead mouse in loaf of bread

Don’t look at this picture if you are squeamish. I must admit it’s not a pleasant sight – and I think mice are quite cute (when alive and not decomposing). This must have been a nasty shock.

Don’t pay any council tax if you have a prayer room in your house?

I was told about some Asians in our neighbourhood who were not paying any council tax because they simply designated a room in their house as a prayer room. As soon as I heard it I thought how ridiculously unlikely it sounded. The idea that councils would waive all council tax to any “Asian” who had a prayer room is pretty incredible. I was annoyed at how eagerly some people seem accept such crazy notions at face value and then propagate the story as fact.

Has Wallace got a new voice in Wallace and Gromit?

I just watched a video showing a short animation of Wallace & Gromit but I think the voice sounds different. It sounds more like someone mimicking him (reasonably well) but that’s not Peter Sallis – is it?
