Emma Brockes The Guardian, Saturday 3 January 2009
The road to Fort Ashby, West Virginia, runs through Mineral County, an area of freezing grey farmland and barrack-style bungalows, where the sign outside the bar - "Hunters welcome" - has an unnerving effect on the passing non-hunter. In Cindy's coffee shop, customers speculate on the whereabouts of a lost cow and tell a weird Republican joke about the noise a chicken makes when its head is cut off: "Barack-Obama!, Barack-Obama!" Lynndie England has lived in Fort Ashby since she was two, but when she appears, suddenly, in the car park, her outline is crooked with self-consciousness.

Forget Rednecks...here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about New
Englanders:
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you live
in New England.
If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you live in New England.
If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live in New England.

FINANCE: We can't rule out total nationalisation of banks, Bank of England governor Mervyn King warns MPs
By Becky Barrow
Last updated at 10:36 AM on 26th November 2008
Getting banks to lend to families and firms is 'the single most pressing challenge', the Bank of England governor has warned.
Mervyn King said that if banks do not start handing out money, Britain faces a much steeper, sharper and more painful recession.
He issued a clear warning that banks could even face nationalisation, telling MPs on the Treasury Select Committee: 'It would be a serious error to rule out measures which may prove necessary.'

HAHAHA!!!
The Jonas Brothers “run into” The Queen of England on the streets of London.
When Joe greets her, he doesn’t know how to act, so he asks, “Do I bow?”
The Queen also asked for the JoBros‘ autograph, but no one has any paper.

You have to immediately like a costume designer who’ll admit that she’s wearing sweatpants while chatting with you from her Vancouver home. We phoned Tish Monaghan, who took over styling duties for The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Eclipse, to talk about how Edward ended up in a suit, why Jacob’s muscles are bulging through his shirt (when he actually wears one), what department mandated that the wolf pack’s jean shorts be extra tight, and more.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Anyone who’s listened to the Twilight DVD commentary knows that Robert Pattinson wasn’t a fan of Edward’s pea coat.

On a balmy autumn day in Vancouver, Canada, a young man is longing for a walk outside in the sunshine, and deciding against it.
Far easier for him to stay in his hotel room, cocooned in five-star luxury, with a cellphone that has run out of charge, safe at least from the girls chanting his name outside.
Robert Pattinson, 23, from Barnes in southwest London, ought still to be one of Hollywood’s beautiful dreamers, moving up the ranks of movie acting, enjoying his American adventure, his guitar, his good looks.

London, England, October 26, 2009 – After a long time, England can lay claim to be the world champions in some sport, even if it is played by a handful of countries.
We are talking about England’s proficiency in SIM rugby, the latest craze that’s taking the country by storm.
What is SIM rugby?
