Just a bad stitch - quite common with Google Street View. If you look at it from different angles it's definitely got just one c.

None of the above - they've ignored / forgotten rhesus factors, which in the real world could kill you stone dead very quickly.

I'm sure this person meant well at the Jools Topp commemoration, but needs to learn her history:

Che Guevara was a murderer a racist, a homophobe and persecuted homosexuals under the Cuban revolutionary government.

This could also go on the "Something Small That Made Me Smile" file.

In the Northland section of the RNZ site is an article about an aircraft bogged on the grass at Christchurch airport.

Welcome to the new geographical lay out of New Zealand. The South and North Islands have swapped placed obviously.

I was also particularly amused by this statement.

during pushback, the aircraft's main wheels came into contact with the grass beside the taxiway

Why not say it was pushed back too far and ended up with the wheels on the grass. It's pretty ****ing obvious the wheels came into contact with the grass.

Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch?

Not a headline, but RNZ has, at the time of writing, only managed to publish two articles on its New Zealand news page this week. I clicked through to the home page and it appears to have been redesigned. What's the bet that in this redesign they've managed to break the underlying tags?

Poor photo choice for this article! Imagine an A380 actually landing / taking off at WLG...

meanwhile in Alexandra, New Zealand news... again.

Spate of abandoned half-empty milk bottles baffles South Island community: Stuff

"A spate of abandoned half-empty milk bottles have left a community baffled, and one resident on a mission to unmask the serial litterer.

On and off for nearly two years someone had been leaving half empty bottles of flavoured milk on top of a self service pump at a fuel stop in Alexandra.

The milk bandit had left a smorgasbord of brands and flavours, usually half full.

CCTV had been viewed, theories floated and a local woman who used the same fuel station became obsessed with solving the mystery, chasing down every detail.

But no one was ever identified, and the clues dried up along with the milk bottles themselves.

Until recently, when the bottles began appearing at the fuel stop again.
