Wow Zepbound sleep apnea pills has the longest list of possible side effects I've seen, it starts with the obvious "do not take if allergic to it" and ends with phone the doctor if your neck explodes

"A violent Walsall prostitute with over 100 previous convictions told emergency workers her phlegm was full of AIDS before flobbing in their faces." Where do we stand on the word "flobbing" folks?

The juror who thinks it "should be someone's job" to decide a defendants fate proved fears juries are getting stupider. She probably thinks Magna Carta is a protein drink.... expressandstar.com/news/2025/09/0…

New Stourbridge Turkish restaurant closed on a Saturday evening...... Only opened a couple of months ago. I asked the owners if I could do a story about them and they were incredibly rude. Hospitality is hard enough if your friendly...

Bloody hell. 247 journalists have been killed in Gaza since the start of the war. 247, I wouldn't even have thought there was 247 journalists in Gaza. The Syrian Assad govt were first to ignore UN convention and kill reporters when they could, and Israel seem to have followed.

plus.expressandstar.com/news/2025/08/1… Gotta love Police Dog Kane from @WMPDogs - I toyed with using a reference about Lassie - "what's that mate, there is a man down the mine" but how many of our readers, under 40 would even know who Lassie was?

@BluessJack Bullshit,neither Blues or Villa are institutionally racist. Both clubs had right wing elements over the years as all clubs have and both have a multicultural fan base . Let’s not paint a picture of anything it isn’t, we hate each other irrelevant of colour, religion or politics.
